The effect of cultural value orientations on responses to supply-side disruption
Authors: Sarafan Mehrnoush , Squire Brian , Brandon–Jones Emma 
Published: November 2020

PurposePast research has shown that culture has significant effects on people's evaluation of and responses to risk. Despite this important role, the supply chain risk literature has been silent on this matter. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of cultural value orientations on managerial perception of and responses to a supply disruption risk.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conduct a scenario-based experiment to investigate the effect of cultural value orientations – i.e. individualism-collectivism and uncertainty avoidance – on individuals' perception of risk and supplier switching intention in the face of a supply disruption.FindingsThe findings highlight the negative effect of individualism-collectivism on disruption risk perception and switching intention in high uncertain circumstances. However, these relationships are non-significant in relatively less uncertain situations. Moreover, the findings show that the impact of uncertainty avoidance on risk perception and supplier switching is positive and significant in both low and high uncertain circumstances.Originality/valueExtant research has traditionally assumed that when confronted with disruption risks, managers make decisions using an economic utility model, to best serve the long-term objectives of the firm. This paper draws from advances of behavioural research to show that cultural value orientations influence such decisions through a mediating mechanism of subjective risk perception.
Consumer responses to online fashion renting: exploring the role of cultural differences
Authors: Lee Stacy H. , Huang Ran 
Published: November 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore consumer behaviour in the context of online fashion renting by applying the theory of reasoned action (TRA) to online fashion rental services and comparing how consumers perceive online fashion renting in terms of its ecological importance and compatibility with the cultures of the USA and China.Design/methodology/approachQuantitative research was conducted, and 646 data sets were collected from a research firm within three weeks. Prior to launching the main survey, back-and-forth translation processes were engaged for the Chinese survey. To test the proposed hypotheses, structural equation modelling (SEM) and PROCESS models were employed.FindingsThe results suggested that both online fashion renting attitudes and social norms positively influenced online fashion renting intentions. Meanwhile, online fashion renting attitudes were positively impacted by perceived compatibility and perceived ecological importance. The moderating effect of national difference was also examined. Specifically, the positive effect of perceived compatibility on online fashion renting attitudes was stronger in US consumers than in Chinese consumers.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough the findings of this study are valuable, comparing online fashion renting services in East Asian regions can be further explored, or comparing the USA with European countries may yield different results.Originality/valueThis study is one of the few to investigate how consumers engage in and perceive online fashion renting by comparing cultural differences between the USA and China. These two countries were selected because they are the leading countries in online shopping behaviour.

Authors: Groulx Mark , Nowak Nadia , Levy Kristin , Booth Annie 
Published: November 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to examine the broad concept of university–community partnerships as it applies to creating sustainability initiatives. The benefits of university–community partnerships are increasingly recognized, and this paper offers direct insights from community stakeholders on the principles, functions and activities they see as foundational to effective university–community partnerships in northern British Columbia.

Design/methodology/approach
CommunityStudio was a co-learning partnership that sought to place students into the community and region to collaborate with community/government partners on interdisciplinary projects identified by the city, regional district or other community stakeholders. Through key informant interviews and a thematic analysis, the authors examine the expressed needs that CommunityStudio partners identified as key to ensuring such collaborations are mutually beneficial.

Findings
Within the community/regional development context of northern British Columbia, community experience highlights the importance of equity and inclusion, flexible programme design and an institutional culture that supports risk taking in teaching and learning as keys to the success of university–community partnerships.

Originality/value
This work contributes to calls for knowledge-based institutions such as universities to act as catalysts for social innovation within regional contexts outside of major metropolitan urban centres.

Authors: K. Sathickbasha , A.S. Selvakumar , Balachandran Surya Rajan , P. Hariharasakthisudhan 
Published: November 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this study is the influence of various combinations of metal sulfides on the tribological performance of brake pads.

Design/methodology/approach
Three brake pads were prepared using the possible combination of any two of the solid lubricants from Bismuth trisulfide (Bi2S3); Tin disulfide (SnS2) and Antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3) are chosen and blended with molybdenum disulfide and graphite. The tribological performance was compared with the brake pad containing aftermarket sulfide mixture. The tribological performance parameters such as performance coefficient of friction, fade percent, recovery percent, wear thickness loss, time is taken to reach the maximum temperature and fluctuation of friction were investigated using Chase tribometer adopting IS 2742 Part-4 (1994) test procedure.

Findings
The friction stability of the brake pad with 4Wt% of MoS2, Bi2S3 and SnS2 was observed to be better, but it showed poor wear performance and aggressive towards the rotor, whereas the brake pad contained 4Wt% of MoS2, Bi2S3 and Sb2S3 exhibited improved wear performance.

Originality/value
This paper explains the influence of the combination of multiple metal sulfide in the tribological performance of the copper-free brake friction composite.

Transformational leadership and innovative work behaviour: the mediating role of psychological empowerment
Authors: Stanescu Dan Florin , Zbuchea Alexandra , Pinzaru Florina 
Published: November 2020

Purpose
This study aims to explore the relationship between transformational leadership and employees’ innovative work behaviour (IWB), additionally examining the mediating effect of psychological empowerment.

Design/methodology/approach
The study is based on a cross-sectional design, data being collected from 139 employees through the following structured questionnaires: Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, IWB and psychological empowerment instrument.

Findings
The findings revealed a positive and significant relationship between transformational leadership and both IWB and psychological empowerment, as well as the fact that transformational leadership, through psychological empowerment, fosters IWB.

Research limitations/implications
One of the main weaknesses of this study is the use of a cross-sectional design, which does not allow for an assessment of the cause–effect relation. Also, using a self-reported questionnaire might have brought common method bias.

Practical implications
The paper shows that, by creating a greater sense of empowerment, leaders could have a higher positive effect on employee’s levels of IWB. Moreover, empowerment acts as one of the most important and effective processes within the transformational leadership framework in fostering innovation among followers.

Originality/value
This study extends the empirical research on transformational leadership and its influence on employees’ work attitudes. Given the scant research on the role of the psychological empowerment, the results of this study confirm not only its mediating role but also the need for further studies in this direction.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to critically summarize the current data concerning the impact of obesity and micronutrient adequacy and supplementation on the risk and severity of COVID-19 disease, and their potential impact on treatment and rehabilitation.Design/methodology/approachPubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases were thoroughly searched to identify studies concerning obesity and nutritional status, vitamin and other micronutrients adequacy with COVID-19 severity.FindingsIndividuals with higher body mass index are in greater risk of severe disease and need for mechanical ventilation. Concerning micronutrient adequacy, no published studies at the present time have evaluated the effect of supplementation on the risk and the treatment of the novel disease.Originality/valueRecently, COVID-19 has monopolized the interest of the medical community regarding diet and nutritional status and it possibly plays an important role in disease severity.
Farm Level Effects of On‐Farm Irrigation Infrastructure Programs in the Southern Murray–Darling Basin
Authors: Hughes Neal , Donoghoe Manannan , Whittle Linden 
Published: November 2020

AbstractOn‐farm irrigation infrastructure programs have become an important method of recovering water for the environment in the Australian Murray–Darling Basin (MDB). These programs offer farmers funding to upgrade infrastructure in return for a portion of their water rights. This study measures the effects of Australian Government on‐farm infrastructure programs in the southern MDB between 2009–2010 and 2016–2017, particularly the On‐Farm Irrigation Efficiency Program. A novel dataset is constructed combining program administrative data with farm survey data. This data is used to derive econometric estimates on the effects of these programs on various measures of farm productivity, profitability and water demand. On‐farm programs are found to have positive effects for participants in terms of higher farm productivity and profitability. However, the study also finds a Jevon's paradox outcome, where farm demand for water is significantly higher post‐upgrade.
A Commons for a Supply Chain in the Post‐COVID‐19 Era: The Case for a Reformed Strategic National Stockpile
Authors: HANDFIELD ROBERT , FINKENSTADT DANIEL JOSEPH , SCHNELLER EUGENE S. , GODFREY A. BLANTON , GUINTO PETER 
Published: November 2020

Policy Points
Reflecting on current response deficiencies, we offer a model for a national contingency supply chain cell (NCSCC) construct to manage the medical materials supply chain in support of emergencies, such as COVID‐19. We develop the following:

a framework for governance and response to enable a globally independent supply chain;
a flexible structure to accommodate the requirements of state and county health systems for receiving and distributing materials; and
a national material “control tower” to improve transparency and real‐time access to material status and location.
ContextMuch of the discussion about the failure of the COVID‐19 supply chain has centered on personal protective equipment (PPE) and the degree of vulnerability of care. Prior research on supply chain risks have focused on mitigating the risk of disruptions of specific purchased materials within a bounded region or on the shifting status of cross‐border export restrictions. But COVID‐19 has impacted every purchase category, region, and border. This paper is responsive to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine recommendation to study and monitor disasters and to provide governments with course of action to satisfy legislative mandates.MethodsOur analysis draws on our observations of the responses to COVID‐19 in regard to acquisition and contracting problem‐solving, our review of field discussions and interactions with experts, a critique of existing proposals for managing the strategic national stockpile in the United States a mapping of the responses to national contingency planning phases, and the identification of gaps in current national healthcare response policy frameworks and proposals.FindingsCurrent proposals call for augmenting a system that has failed to deliver the needed response to COVID‐19. These proposals do not address the key attributes for pandemic plan renewal: flexibility, traceability and transparency, persistence and responsiveness, global independence, and equitable access. We offer a commons‐based framework for achieving the opportunities and risks which are responsive to a constellation of intelligence assets working in and across focal targets of global supply chain risk.ConclusionsThe United States needs a “commons‐based strategy” that is not simply a stockpile repository but instead is a network of repositories, fluid inventories, and analytic monitoring governed by the experts. We need a coordinated effort, a “commons” that will direct both conventional and new suppliers to meet demands and to eliminate hoarding and other behaviors.

Published: November 2020

AbstractBackgroundOlder adult delirium is often unrecognized in the emergency department (ED), yet the most compelling research questions to overcome knowledge‐to‐practice deficits remain undefined. The Geriatric Emergency care Applied Research (GEAR) Network was organized to identify and prioritize delirium clinical questions.MethodsGEAR identified and engaged 49 transdisciplinary stakeholders including emergency physicians, geriatricians, nurses, social workers, pharmacists, and patient advocates. Adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses for Scoping Reviews, clinical questions were derived, medical librarian electronic searches were conducted, and applicable research evidence was synthesized for ED delirium detection, prevention, and management. The scoping review served as the foundation for a consensus conference to identify the highest priority research foci.ResultsIn the scoping review, 27 delirium detection “instruments” were described in 48 ED studies and used variable criterion standards with the result of delirium prevalence ranging from 6% to 38%. Clinician gestalt was the most common “instrument” evaluated with sensitivity ranging from 0% to 81% and specificity from 65% to 100%. For delirium management, 15 relevant studies were identified, including one randomized controlled trial. Some intervention studies targeted clinicians via education and others used clinical pathways. Three medications were evaluated to reduce or prevent ED delirium. No intervention consistently prevented or treated delirium. After reviewing the scoping review results, the GEAR stakeholders identified ED delirium prevention interventions not reliant on additional nurse or physician effort as the highest priority research.ConclusionsTransdisciplinary stakeholders prioritize ED delirium prevention studies that are not reliant on health care worker tasks instead of alternative research directions such as defining etiologic delirium phenotypes to target prevention or intervention strategies.
Completeness and capture rate of publicly funded arthroplasty procedures in the New Zealand Joint Registry

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACTBackgroundRegistry‐based studies have become more common due to the availability of a large study cohort. However, the validity of findings is dependent on the completeness of the registry. This study aimed to validate the capture rate of the New Zealand Joint Registry (NZJR) by matching procedures that have been recorded separately via clinical coding by the New Zealand Government's National Surgical Site Infection Improvement Programme (SSIIP).MethodsThe National Health Index, a unique identification code for all patients, was combined with the arthroplasty procedure performed (primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), revision TKA or revision THA) and operation side. Publicly funded procedures recorded in the NZJR were matched with procedures recorded by the SSIIP on a record‐by‐record basis. This identified the total number of arthroplasty procedures performed in New Zealand, which was used as the denominator value to calculate the procedure capture rate of the NZJR.ResultsBetween 2013 and 2018, 24 556 primary TKA, 28 970 primary THA, 2107 revision TKA and 4263 revision THA procedures were recorded by both datasets. The NZJR recorded 95.5% of primary TKA procedures, 96.3% of primary THA procedures, 97.1% of revision TKA procedures and 95.2% of revision THA procedures.ConclusionThe NZJR recorded >95% of publicly funded arthroplasty procedures. In contrast, there were inaccuracies in clinical coding by hospitals, particularly with revision procedures, demonstrating the benefits of an arthroplasty registry. However, data recorded by an infection surveillance programme may supplement arthroplasty registry data to strengthen the quality of research.
LC‐MS‐sMRM method development and validation of different classes of pain panel drugs and analysis of clinical urine samples
Authors: Masood M. Athar , Veenstra Timothy D. 
Published: November 2020

AbstractUrine drug testing (UDT) is an important analytical/bio‐analytical technique that has inevitably become an integral and vital part of a testing programme for diagnostic purposes. This manuscript presents a tailor‐made LC‐MS/MS quantitative assay method development and validation for a custom group of 33 pain panel drugs and their metabolites belonging to different classes (opiates, opioids, benzodiazepines, illicit, amphetamines, etc.) that are prescribed in pain management and depressant therapies. The LC‐MS/MS method incorporates two experiments to enhance the sensitivity of the assay and has a run time of about 7 minutes with no prior purification of the samples required and a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min. The method also includes the second‐stage metabolites for some drugs that belong to different classes but have first‐stage similar metabolic pathways that will enable to correctly identify the right drug or to flag the drug that might be due to specimen tampering. Some real case examples and difficulties in peak picking were provided with some of the analytes in subject samples. Finally, the method was deliberated with some randomly selected de‐identified clinical subject samples, and the data evaluated from “direct dilute and shoot analysis” and after “glucuronide hydrolysis” were compared. This method is now used to run routinely more than 100 clinical subject samples on a daily basis.
Interplay of tectonics and magmatism during post‐rift inversion on the central West Iberian Margin (Estremadura Spur)

Published: November 2020

AbstractThe combined effects of post‐rift magma emplacement and tectonic inversion on the hyper‐extended West Iberian Margin are unravelled in detail using multichannel 2D/3D seismic data. The Estremadura Spur, acting as an uplifted crustal block bounded by two first‐order transfer zones, shows evidence of four post‐rift tectonic events each with a distinctive seismic‐stratigraphic response that can be used to demonstrate the tectono‐magmatic interplay, namely: (a) the Campanian onset of magmatism (including the Fontanelas Volcano, the widespread evidence of multiple sill complexes and the detailed description of a >20 km long laccolith, the Estremadura Spur Intrusion; (b) the Campanian‐Maastrichtian NE‐SW event pervasively affecting the area, resulting in regional uplift, reverse faulting and folding; (c) the Paleocene‐mid Eocene inversion that resulted in widespread erosion and; (d) the Oligocene‐mid Miocene evidence of rejuvenated NW‐SE inversion marked by crestal faulting and forced‐fault folding establishing the final geometry of the area. The distinct deformation styles within each tectonic phase document a case of decoupled deformation between Late Cretaceous and Tertiary units, in response to the predominant stress field evolution, revealing that the magnitude of Late Cretaceous inversion is far more significant than the one affecting the latter units. A detailed analysis of the laccolith and its overburden demonstrate the distinct deformation patterns associated both with magma ascent (including extensional faulting, forced‐folding and concentric reverse faulting) and its interference as a rigid intrusive body during subsequent transpressive inversion. This reinforces the role that the combined tectono‐magmatic events played on the margin. Also analysed is the wider impact of post‐rift magmatism and the associate emplacement of sub‐lithospheric magma on the rheology of a thinned continental crust. This takes into account the simultaneous tectonic inversion of the margin, the implied alternative views on characteristic heat flow, and on how these can be incorporated in source rock organic maturity modelling.
