Intellectual structure of multigenerational workforce and contextualizing work values across generations: a multistage analysis
Authors: Singh Vibhav , Verma Surabhi , Chaurasia Sushil 
Published: August 2020

PurposeThis study attempts to understand the research clusters and thematic evolution of the topic generational diversity at workplace, over the period of 2001–2009 and 2010–2018. Furthermore, it attempts to identify the key shifts (and convergence) that have taken place in the value system across generational cohorts.Design/methodology/approachIn this context, the first stage of the study involved an in-depth systematic analysis of extant literature on multigenerational workforce between 2001–2009 and 2010–2018 by applying bibliometric analysis. Following an explanatory mix-method approach, the second stage of the study comprised of 32 interviews conducted across generations, exploring the role of ethics at the workplace.FindingsIt was revealed that during the period 2001–2009, communication and identification of generational characteristics emerged as the major themes. The 2010–2018 period unraveled four themes of research – retaining and engaging millennials through leadership, generational differences in work values, impact of generational differences on organizational-level variables and generational diversity in education and nursing. The outcome from the second stage showed that work values differ across generations with an emphasis on intrinsic work values, and work values have rather deteriorated, with baby boomers possessing stronger work ethics in comparison to the millennials. Finally, an integrated model for multigenerational workforce has been proposed.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper provides significant inputs to the expanding research in the area of work values, as it delves into the principal mechanisms leading to differences in work values among generations.Originality/valueBibliometric analysis, which is a quantitative approach to understanding the intellectual structure of a research topic, has been applied to generational diversity at the workplace. This constitutes a novel attempt that can be bracketed as a pertinent contribution to the field.

Published: August 2020

PurposeThis paper aims to build a novel model and approach that assist an aircraft MRO procurement and overhaul management problems from the perspective of aircraft maintenance service provider, in order to ensure its smoothness maintenance activities implementation. The mathematical model utilizes the data related to warehouse inventory management, incoming customer service planning as well as risk forecast and control management at the decision-making stage, which facilitates to alleviate the negative impact of the uncertain maintenance demands on the MRO spare parts inventory management operations.Design/methodology/approachA stochastic model is proposed to formulate the problem to minimize the impact of uncertain maintenance demands, which provides flexible procurement and overhaul strategies. A Benders decomposition algorithm is proposed to solve large-scale problem instances given the structure of the mathematical model.FindingsCompared with the default branch-and-bound algorithm, the computational results suggest that the proposed Benders decomposition algorithm increases convergence speed.Research limitations/implicationsThe results among the same group of problem instances suggest the robustness of Benders decomposition in tackling instances with different number of stochastic scenarios involved.Practical implicationsExtending the proposed model and algorithm to a decision support system is possible, which utilizes the databases from enterprise's service planning and management information systems.Originality/valueA novel decision-making model for the integrated rotable and expendable MRO spare parts planning problem under uncertain environment is developed, which is formulated as a two-stage stochastic programming model.

Published: August 2020

PurposeThis research introduces the combined use of partial least squares–structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and necessary condition analysis (NCA) that enables researchers to explore and validate hypotheses following a sufficiency logic, as well as hypotheses drawing on a necessity logic. The authors’ objective is to encourage the practice of combining PLS-SEM and NCA as complementary views of causality and data analysis.Design/methodology/approachThe authors present guidelines describing how to combine PLS-SEM and NCA. These relate to the specification of the research objective and the theoretical background, the preparation and evaluation of the data set, running the analyses, the evaluation of measurements, the evaluation of the (structural) model and relationships and the interpretation of findings. In addition, the authors present an empirical illustration in the field of technology acceptance.FindingsThe use of PLS-SEM and NCA enables researchers to identify the must-have factors required for an outcome in accordance with the necessity logic. At the same time, this approach shows the should-have factors following the additive sufficiency logic. The combination of both logics enables researchers to support their theoretical considerations and offers new avenues to test theoretical alternatives for established models.Originality/valueThe authors provide insights into the logic, assessment, challenges and benefits of NCA for researchers familiar with PLS-SEM. This novel approach enables researchers to substantiate and improve their theories and helps practitioners disclose the must-have and should-have factors relevant to their decision-making.
Looking into the Islamic banking sector in Palestine: do religious values influence active social media engagement behavior?
Authors: Yasin Mahmoud , Porcu Lucia , Liébana-Cabanillas Francisco 
Published: August 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate how religious values of Islamic banking users influence their active social media engagement behavior (SMEB), when exposed to online brand related-content.

Design/methodology/approach
The method used for data collection was an online self-administered questionnaire. A total of 448 valid responses were obtained from Islamic banks customers, who are members of at least one online brand community (OBC) on Facebook. Responses were analyzed and processed by means of structural equation modeling.

Findings
The results of the online survey reveal that religious values have a positive influence on the active SMEB in terms of contributing (like and/or share) and creating (posting positive comments) of brand related-contents via Facebook OBC. Religious values play a key role in encouraging Islamic banks’ customers to share and forward posts, advertisements and/or contents. Furthermore, religious values encourage customers to forward contents that comply with their religious values and beliefs and are also compatible with the Islamic rules of Shari’ah.

Originality/value
The findings of this study suggest that religious values are likely to impact customer behavior when consuming, liking, sharing and commenting on the online contents generated by Islamic banks. Given the fact that Islamic religious values are universal and persistent, there is a potential for long-term benefits for those Islamic banks that identify profitable religious consumer segments within the domestic and global markets as well as to promote and enhance active SMEB in terms of number of positive comments, likes and shares of brand-related contents.
Health-justice partnerships: innovation in service delivery to support mental health
Authors: Beardon Sarah , Woodhead Charlotte , Cooper Silvie , Raine Rosalind , Genn Hazel 
Published: August 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to introduce the concept of “health-justice partnership” (HJP), the provision of legal assistance for social welfare issues in health-care settings. It discusses the role of these partnerships in supporting health and care for people with mental health issues.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors describe an example of an HJP; discuss the rationale and evidence for this approach in relation to mental health; and reflect on implementation challenges and future directions in the UK. The authors draw on both health and legal literature to frame the discussion.

Findings
Social welfare legal needs have negative impacts on mental well-being and are more likely to occur among people with mental health conditions. Integrating legal assistance with healthcare services can improve access to support for those with unmet need. High-quality research has demonstrated positive impacts for mental health and well-being as a result of HJP interventions. Both further research and wider strategies are required to support implementation of HJPs in practice.

Originality/value
Legal assistance is rarely positioned as a health intervention, yet it is an effective tool to address social welfare issues that are harmful to mental health and to which people experiencing mental health are at greater risk. This paper highlights the importance of the HJP movement as an approach for supporting people with mental health issues.
Detecting and quantifying social transmission using network‐based diffusion analysis

Published: August 2020

Abstract

Although social learning capabilities are taxonomically widespread, demonstrating that freely interacting animals (whether wild or captive) rely on social learning has proved remarkably challenging.

Network‐based diffusion analysis (NBDA) offers a means for detecting social learning using observational data on freely interacting groups. Its core assumption is that if a target behaviour is socially transmitted, then its spread should follow the connections in a social network that reflects social learning opportunities.

Here, we provide a comprehensive guide for using NBDA. We first introduce its underlying mathematical framework and present the types of questions that NBDA can address. We then guide researchers through the process of selecting an appropriate social network for their research question; determining which NBDA variant should be used; and incorporating other variables that may impact asocial and social learning. Finally, we discuss how to interpret an NBDA model's output and provide practical recommendations for model selection.

Throughout, we highlight extensions to the basic NBDA framework, including incorporation of dynamic networks to capture changes in social relationships during a diffusion and using a multi‐network NBDA to estimate information flow across multiple types of social relationship.

Alongside this information, we provide worked examples and tutorials demonstrating how to perform analyses using the newly developed nbda package written in the R programming language.

Abstract

Global warming is having impacts across the Tree of Life. Understanding species’ physiological sensitivity to temperature change and how they relate to local temperature variation in their habitats is crucial to determining vulnerability to global warming.

We ask how species’ vulnerability varies across habitats and elevations, and how climatically buffered microhabitats can contribute to reduce their vulnerability.

We measured thermal sensitivity (critical thermal maximum—CTmax) of 14 species of Pristimantis frogs inhabiting young and old secondary, and primary forests in the Colombian Andes. Exposure to temperature stress was measured by recording temperature in the understorey and across five microhabitats. We determined frogs’ current vulnerability across habitats, elevations and microhabitats accounting for phylogeny and then ask how vulnerability varies under four warming scenarios: +1.5, +2, +3 and +5°C.

We found that CTmax was constant across species regardless of habitat and elevation. However, species in young secondary forests are expected to become more vulnerable because of increased exposure to higher temperatures. Microhabitat variation could enable species to persist within their thermal temperature range as long as regional temperatures do not surpass +2°C. The effectiveness of microhabitat buffering decreases with a 2–3°C increase, and is almost null under a 5°C temperature increase.

Microhabitats will provide thermal protection to Andean frog communities from climate change by enabling tracking of suitable climates through short distance movement. Conservation strategies, such as managing landscapes by preserving primary forests and allowing regrowth and reconnection of secondary forest would offer thermally buffered microhabitats and aid in the survival of this group.
Traditional water bodies and ecosystem services: Empirical evidence from West Bengal, India
Authors: Chowdhury Koushik , Behera Bhagirath 
Published: August 2020

AbstractTraditional water harvesting systems are multi‐functional in nature and provide a variety of ecosystem services that contribute to the overall wellbeing of local people. This study aims to identify and analyze the factors influencing the variations in the level of awareness across households residing around three selected traditional water bodies in the Indian state of West Bengal. Ordinary least square (OLS) regression models have been used to identify and analyze the determinants of household perception on ecosystem services from tank water bodies. Results show that while a majority of households have strong perceptions on the provisioning and cultural ecosystem services of the tanks, the household perceptions on regulating and supporting services of the tank is found to be relatively weak. Households belonging to lower caste and poor are likely to be more dependent on ecosystem services from tanks than upper caste and rich households, and hence they have better perceptions of provisioning ecosystem services. Households’ awareness about provisioning ecosystem services is negatively related to their level of education and wealth. It is observed that household awareness about regulating and supporting ecosystem services is positively associated with the level of education of the households, ownership of tube well and private tanks. While it is essential to consider household perception on all the ecosystem services for sustainable use and management of traditional water harvesting systems, incorporating the local norms, customs and preferences in policy design are critical for achieving effective conservation outcomes.
A Preliminary Forensic Entomological Study of Beetles (Coleoptera) in Interior Alaska, USA*
Authors: Sampson Asia , Sikes Derek S. 
Published: August 2020

AbstractForensic entomology uses knowledge of arthropod ecology to help solve crimes. There has been no published forensic entomological research in Alaska. We used one piglet carcass split in half to create two carcass plots in Fairbanks (~64.8°N, subarctic) that were sampled over a period of 59 days in 2019. Four pitfall traps were placed around each carcass, and four similarly arranged pitfall traps were placed 40 m distant as controls. Traps were emptied approximately weekly covering the first four stages of decomposition. We focused on adults of the larger‐bodied (>9 mm) families and subfamilies of Coleoptera: Staphylinidae (subfamily Staphylininae), Carabidae, and Silphidae. A total of 621 specimens were collected and processed: 29 staphylinines, 210 carabids, and 382 silphids. A one‐way ANOVA showed no significant difference between the mean numbers of staphylinines or carabids caught in carcass versus control traps. Silphids showed significantly greater mean number of beetles caught in carcass traps relative to control traps. Four species of Silphidae were documented, but contrary to similar studies, the vast majority of specimens belonged to two species of Nicrophorus (N. vespilloides Herbst and N. investigator Zetterstedt). Each of the three target taxa showed a peak in the number of specimens collected during the bloat stage of decomposition despite the carabid peak being driven by a phytophagous species.

Published: August 2020

AbstractTo assess the influence of fatigue on decision‐making and performance in footwear examination, questionnaires and eye‐tracking techniques are employed. We ask 23 volunteers to wear shoes of four different outsole patterns and obtained 50 image pairs of questioned and known impressions under controlled conditions. Among which, 10 image sets were “repeated” as benchmarks by being horizontally flipped. To evaluate the accuracy of comparison, 12 qualified footwear examiners’ response and eye metrics in both morning and afternoon session were recorded and analyzed by descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and gaze plots. The results revealed that as a group there is no significant statistic differences in either subjects’ behavioral performance or their eye gaze data after fatigue. When examined via the Earth Mover Metric method, the consistency of examiners as a group did not change after fatigue either. Statistically, the pupil size got smaller during the observation in the afternoon. Study also demonstrated that the visualization process of forensic footwear evidence through eye‐tracking method could be a promising technique for training and education.

Published: August 2020

AbstractIntroductionThe aim of this study was to assess the qualitative and MRI findings of renal tumours, to determine which lesions contain microscopic fat, one of the potential differentiating factors between tumour types.Methods73 patients who underwent 3 Tesla MRI including chemical shift imaging, with subsequent biopsy or excision for histopathological diagnosis, were included in the study. The images were reviewed for a decrease in signal intensity (SI) on the opposed phase compared with the in‐phase gradient echo T1 images, indicating the presence of microscopic fat. The chemical shift index was then calculated as a percentage of SI change and compared with the pathological diagnosis.ResultsIn total, 38 (52%) of lesions demonstrated a decrease in SI, consistent with microscopic fat. Microscopic fat was found in 28 (80%) clear cell renal cell carcinomas (RCCs), 6 (66.7%) angiomyolipomas, 2 (20%) papillary RCCs, 1 (20%) chromophobe RCC and 1 (9.1%) oncocytoma. Pairwise comparison of means indicated that the amount of microscopic fat was significantly larger only for angiomyolipomas compared with clear cell RCCs (P < 0.001) and other renal lesions (P < 0.001).ConclusionsA decrease in SI on opposed phase compared with in‐phase chemical shift imaging favours the diagnosis of either clear cell RCC or an angiomyolipoma. When combined with other parameters in mpMRI, this may aid differentiation of benign from malignant tumours and differentiation of aggressive from indolent RCC subtypes. This may be of value where biopsy is non‐diagnostic, not feasible due to location or in high‐risk patients.

BackgroundPreviously, we developed a monoclonal antibody (mAb) NJ001 that binds to the antigen SP70 in human non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and showed it could inhibit lung adenocarcinoma (AD) growth. Here, we investigated the effect and mechanisms of NJ001 in lung AD metastasis.MethodsHuman lung AD cells (SPC‐A1 and A549) were treated with different concentrations of mAb NJ001, and the effects of NJ001 on cell migration and invasive activity were investigated using wound‐healing and Matrigel assays, respectively. The molecular mechanism of this inhibition was explored by microarrays, qRT‐PCR, western blot, luciferase assays and electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA).ResultsMAb NJ001 markedly suppressed lung AD cell migration; and the invasiveness of SPC‐A1 and A549 cells treated with mAb NJ001 was diminished by 65%. Tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase‐3 (TIMP‐3) was highly expressed in SPC‐A1 cells treated with mAb NJ001, whereas knockdown of TIMP‐3 by shRNA significantly increased SPC‐A1 and A549 invasiveness. MAb NJ001 affects lung AD by inhibiting TIMP‐3 through direct transcriptional regulation of FOXP1 binding sites in the TIMP‐3 promoter region, as shown in luciferase assays and EMSA.ConclusionsMAb NJ001 inhibits invasiveness and metastasis in lung AD through the FOXP1 binding sites in the TIMP‐3 promoter region. It may have clinical applications in preventing and treating metastatic lung AD.
Exploration of microbial stimulants for induction of systemic resistance in plant disease management

Published: August 2020

AbstractPlants are exposed to different environmental stresses (biotic or abiotic) in their habitats, these stresses often result in several diseases and decline in crop production which are major concerns to crop producers and scientists. Habitat‐imposed biotic stress is one of the most common problems of crop production. The use of chemical‐based pesticides has been widely reported to control plant diseases but the residual effects of excessive application of pesticides necessitates the use of biological control agents known to play important safety roles in plant disease management. Symbiotic associations between diverse microorganisms and plant roots have also been proven to have enormous impacts on their respective growths and survival; induced systemic resistance (ISR) is part of the mechanism through which plant‐growth‐promoting bacteria and fungi stimulate plant growth and resistance to pathogens. Many of these microorganisms act as stimulants which can be exploited for boosting nutrient uptake, pest control and to protect crops from environmental stresses for better growth. This review focuses on the plant diseases, microbial stimulants and their mechanisms as nutrient enhancers in crop production as well as their potentials in biological control of plant diseases through ISR.
