How location-based messages influence customers' store visit attitudes: an integrative model of message value
Authors: Verhagen Tibert , Meents Selmar , Merikivi Jani , Moes Anne , Weltevreden Jesse 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThis study aims to develop an understanding of how customers of a physical retail store valuate receiving location-based mobile phone messages when they are in proximity of the store. It proposes and tests a model relating two benefits (personalization and location congruency) and two sacrifices (privacy concern and intrusiveness) to message value perceptions and store visit attitudes.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a vignette-based survey to collect data from a sample of 1,225 customers of a fashion retailer. The postulated research model is estimated using SmartPLS 3.0 with the consistent-PLS algorithm and further validated via a post-hoc test.FindingsThe empirical testing confirms the predictive validity and robustness of the model and reveals that location congruency and intrusiveness are the location-based message characteristics with the strongest effects on message value and store visit attitude.Originality/valueThe paper adds to the underexplored field of store entry research and extends previous location-based messaging studies by integrating personalization, location congruency, privacy concern and intrusiveness into one validated model.
Framing and conflict: the case of the Asante Akyem North district’s farmer-herder conflict in Ghana
Authors: Appiah-Boateng Sabina , Kendie Stephen B. 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore how framing of conflict in different phases is constructed and how the specific framing affects the development of the conflict and its management in the farmer–herder conflict in the Asante Akyem North District of Ghana.

Design/methodology/approach
The study area is Agogo which falls within the Asante Akyem North District in Ghana. The study used a qualitative approach whose philosophical ontology and epistemology believe that meaning is constructed (interpretivism). It further used a case study design using in-depth interviews, focus group discussion and observation guide. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were used to select the respondents. The data were analysed using the thematic analysis approach. Ethical considerations such as informed consent, willingness and anonymity of respondents were duly respected.

Findings
The findings highlighted that the conflict actors formed frames such as identity-relational, affective-intellectual and negotiation-win frames as the drivers of the conflict. In this conflict, the farmers who are indigenes and custodians of the land feel more potent over the transnational migrants who are pastoralists and argue that the herdsmen be flushed out without negotiation.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the papers that bring to light the psychological dimension of the causes of the farmer–herder conflict in Ghana.
Investigating the relationship between bank performance and accounting standards: evidence from M&As in European banking
Authors: Akgün Ali İhsan 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThe study aims to identify whether international financial reporting standards (IFRS) or local generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) reporting provides investors and senior management of acquirer banks with superior information on target banks under post-merger bank performance.Design/methodology/approachThe authors examine the claim that IFRS improves corporate transparency and increases financial reporting quality in European Bank merger and acquisitions (M&As). The authors compare the financial performance of merged banks where the target and acquirer banks employed the same reporting system (up to 305 merged banks) to the performance of a control group of banks not engaged in M&A activity (up to 1,690 European banks).FindingsLocal GAAP reporting allows a more transparent assessment of financial performance using traditional indicators, making it a superior tool for assessing potential acquisition targets.Practical implicationsOverall, the empirical findings are consistent with prior studies and indicate a significant relationship between local GAAP and post-merger performance, while IFRS does not contribute to post-merger bank performance.Originality/valueThe study is one of the very few studies to investigate the relationship between bank performance, M&A activity and accounting standards in EU-28 countries. The primary contribution the finding of poor performance of IFRS reporting merged banks compared to local GAAP banks in EU-28 countries in line with prior results of Huian (2012). In addition, several deal- and bank-specific characteristics that affect accounting standards influence M&A transactions in European banks.
The key enablers, techniques and benefits of managing stakeholders within BIM supported projects
Authors: Singh Sukhtaj , Chinyio Ezekiel , Suresh Subashini 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
Project managers still face challenges with managing stakeholders. Using building information modelling (BIM) has further increased these challenges. Meanwhile, there is a paucity of research specifically focussing on the techniques which organisations are adopting to manage stakeholders within BIM-implemented projects and the associated benefits which they can reap. Thus, this paper aims to identify the key techniques, enablers and benefits of managing stakeholders within BIM-implemented projects.

Design/methodology/approach
An exploratory approach was adopted due to the paucity of the variables on the topic. In total, 23 semi-structured interviews were conducted in the UK through purposive and snowball sampling. The data was analysed using content analysis and the “NVivo 11 Pro” software.

Findings
Two key techniques and two enablers required to manage stakeholders within BIM-implemented projects were identified. Nine benefits of managing stakeholders were identified which split into interim and eventual benefits.

Originality
This paper provides a richer understanding of the enablers and techniques which organisations should focus on while strategising for minimum resistance from stakeholders in their BIM implemented projects.

The problems of interpreting GATT Article XXI(b)(iii) in Russia – Traffic in Transit
Authors: Bismono Ramadhan , Priyono Joko , Trihastuti Nanik 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to further study the panel report in Russia – Traffic in Transit regarding the interpretation and application of 1994 general agreements on tariffs and trade (GATT) Article XXI(b). It analyses the threshold applied by the panel in applying Article XXI(b)(iii) and further discusses the potential problem that may arise in the future dispute. This study also investigates the notion of emergency and security interest and its development in international law.

Design/methodology/approach
This normative research uses a qualitative legal methodology. This study conducts desk analysis of primary legal materials and existing literature to assess the concept of security interest within the World Trade Organization (WTO) framework.

Findings
This paper finds that the panel in Russia – Traffic in Transit applied subjective and objective test in reviewing Russia’s invocation of GATT Article XXI(b)(iii). Despite the adjectival self-judging clause and the political tension of the dispute, the panel is capable to review its application. This study further finds that the term security interest and emergency in international relations still leaves the possibility of open interpretation.

Research limitations/implications
Because of the normative research approach, the research results lack empirical data and implications. Therefore, future research is encouraged to inquire on the empirical research.

Originality/value
This paper fulfils the need to study and explore security exception clause within the WTO framework as a normative rule of law and in the wider conceptual notion of security and emergency in international law.

Authors: Chen Long , Chen Ming , Zhang Hengjie , Yan Xiao-Ming 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThe purpose of the study is to examine the crossover effect of leader's role overload on employee's negative affect. More importantly, the stuy will identify the buffering role of self-concordance goal on the relationship between leader's role overload and employee's negative affect.Design/methodology/approachThe study builds the crossover impact of leader's role overload on employee's negative affect as well as the moderating effect of self-concordance goal. By a two-wave and paired data from 51 leaders and 225 employees, the study examines the hypothesis using cross-level analysis.FindingsResults show that leader's role overload tends to reduce negative affect for employees who pursue high-level self-concordance goal and increase negative affect for employees who pursue low-level self-concordance goal.Practical implicationsIt is important for employees to get rid of negative affect in the workplace. The study informs managers the benefits of pursuing self-concordance goals in helping employees alleviate the negative effect of leader's role overload.Originality/valueFindings of the present study can enrich the literature of the crossover process from leader to employee and offer management strategy for enterprises about how to buffer the damaging effect of leader's role overload on employees.
Physical and mechanical investigation for polyionic liquid/poly(vinyl alcohol) blends
Authors: Rozik Nehad N. , Shafik Emad Saad , Abd-El-Messieh Salwa L. 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
This study aims to polymerize of 1-butyl-3-vinylimidazolium bromide (PIL). PIL was embedded into PVA with a different content ratio by casting method. This research also deals with the effect of adding PIL in different proportions to PVA on the electrical and mechanical properties properties in addition to the morphology of the prepared samples.

Design/methodology/approach
1-Butyl-3-vinylimidazolium bromide was synthesized through quaternization and free radical polymerization. The resulting polymer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. In addition to the morphology of PVA, PVA/PIL was investigated by polarizing microscope. Also, the effect of PIL content on the electrical and mechanical properties was evaluated.

Findings
The findings of this study might lead to new applications for PVA and PILs in electrical and dielectrics. The mechanical results revealed that the tensile strength increased slightly with increasing polyionic liquid (PIL) content and decreased above 10% PIL. While the elongation at break increased significantly with increasing PIL content and begin to decrease above 10% PIL. Also, the electrical property of the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/PIL blends was improved because of the strong plasticizing effect of PIL. Also, the electrical conductivity of these polymer electrolytes is greatly increased. This indicates that the imidazolium-based PIL has an effective approach that leads to an increase in the conductivity of the polymer. The PILs/PVA design will not only enrich the chemical structure but also will contribute to green manufacturing techniques and a processing methodology that enables green membrane manufacture.

Originality/value
This study contributes to green manufacturing techniques and a processing methodology that enables “green” membrane manufacture.
The dead volume effect on the elastic moduli measurements using the forced‐oscillation method
Authors: Mikhaltsevitch Vassily , Lebedev Maxim , Chavez Rafael , Pervukhina Marina , Glubokovskikh Stanislav , do Amaral Vargas Euripedes 
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACTIn low‐frequency laboratory experiments conducted on fluid‐saturated rocks, the boundary conditions of rock samples can significantly affect the results of the measurements of elastic moduli and acoustic attenuation. Generally, in laboratory measurements, the dead fluid volume associated with the fluid storage formed by the segments of the fluid line adjacent to a rock specimen cannot bе completely eliminated. Depending on the size, this fluid storage can significantly affect the elastic moduli measurements. We investigate the impact of the dead volume on (i) the quasistatic measurements of the elastic moduli of a fully fluid‐saturated rock specimen and (ii) the dispersion and attenuation measurements conducted on the same specimen at seismic frequencies. We present the results of the laboratory tests conducted at seismic frequencies on an n‐decane–saturated porous rock with the dead volume gradually changed from 2 to 260 cm3, as well as with the open‐pore‐fluid line. To take into account the dead volume, we developed a modified Gassmann theory and demonstrated that predictions of this theory are in good agreement with the measurements at lower frequencies. The Young's modulus dispersion and extensional attenuation observed at higher frequencies were explained on the basis of a one‐dimensional model considering the guided slow P‐waves in the rock specimen with boundary conditions specific to the experiment.
Reflections on COP26: International Diplomacy, Global Justice and the Greening of Capitalism
Authors: Jacobs Michael 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThe UN climate conference COP26 in November 2021 concluded with the agreement of the Glasgow Climate Pact. This article examines the key elements of the pact and their significance. Explaining the structure of the 2015 Paris Agreement, it shows why the requirement for countries to return with stronger emissions reduction commitments in 2022 was in practice the most the conference could have achieved to ‘keep alive’ the goal of limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5°C. Developing countries won an increase in finance for adaptation to climate change, but their demand for developed countries to recognise ‘climate justice’ and compensate them for the loss and damage that climate change is causing was rebuffed. Noting the various sectoral commitments made at COP26 in areas such as deforestation and finance, the article argues that the underlying question posed by the conference is whether capitalism can be greened. An answer is suggested.

Authors: Wardrop Rachel , Ranse Jamie , Chaboyer Wendy , Crilly Julia 
Published: December 2021

AbstractObjectiveUnderstanding how people arrive to the ED assists in planning health services' response to fluctuating ED demand. The present study aimed to describe and compare demographics, clinical characteristics and health service outcomes of adult ED patient presentations based on mode of arrival: brought in by police (BIBP)/brought in by ambulance (BIBA)/privately arranged transport (PAT).MethodsA retrospective cohort study of ED patient presentations made between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2020 from all public hospital EDs across Queensland, Australia. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed to ascertain presentation characteristics and predictors of health service outcomes.ResultsFrom 4 707 959 ED presentations, 0.9% were BIBP, 34.8% were BIBA and 64.0% were PAT. Presentations BIBP were younger and comprised a higher proportion of mental health problems and Emergency Examination Authority orders compared to presentations BIBA or PAT. Compared to presentations BIBP or PAT, presentations BIBA were more likely to be assigned more urgent triage scores, be admitted to hospital, and have a longer ED length of stay (LOS). Compared to other modes of arrival, presentations arriving by PAT were more likely to be discharged and have a shorter ED LOS.ConclusionPresentations BIBA and BIBP encountered a longer ED LOS and higher admission rates than PAT, suggesting more complex care needs than those from PAT. Clinical care pathways for specific modes of arrival that support pre‐hospital providers and patients and are considerate of the throughput and output stages of ED care may be needed.
Who are you? A framework to identify and report genetic sample mix‐ups
Authors: Duntsch Laura , Brekke Patricia , Ewen John G. , Santure Anna W. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractSample mix‐ups occur when samples have accidentally been duplicated, mislabelled or swapped. When samples are subsequently genotyped or sequenced, this can lead to individual IDs being incorrectly linked to genetic data, resulting in incorrect or biased research results, or reduced power to detect true biological patterns. We surveyed the community and found that almost 80% of responding researchers have encountered sample mix‐ups. However, many recent studies in the field of molecular ecology do not appear to systematically report individual assignment checks as part of their publications. Although checks may be done, lack of consistent reporting means that it is difficult to assess whether sample mix‐ups have occurred or been detected. Here, we present an easy‐to‐follow sample verification framework that can utilise existing metadata, including species, population structure, sex and pedigree information. We demonstrate its application to a data set representing individuals of a threatened Aotearoa New Zealand bird species, the hihi, genotyped on a 50K SNP array. We detected numerous incorrect genotype‐ID associations when comparing observed and genetic sex or comparing to relationships in a verified microsatellite pedigree. The framework proposed here helped to confirm 488 individuals (39%), correct another 20 bird‐genotype links, and detect hundreds of incorrect sample IDs, emphasizing the value of routinely checking genetic and genomic data sets for their accuracy. We therefore promote the implementation and reporting of this simple yet effective sample verification framework as a standardized quality control step for studies in the field of molecular ecology.

Published: December 2021

AbstractBackgroundFor patients with ypN2 non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery (NCS), the role of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) is unclear. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of PORT on survival of ypN2 NSCLC patients after NCS.MethodsBetween 2004 and 2015, patients with ypN2 NSCLC after NCS were filtrated from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance the baseline characteristics of the PORT and non‐PORT groups. Kaplan–Meier method and Cox proportional hazards models were adopted to estimate overall survival (OS) and cancer‐specific survival (CSS).ResultsA total of 257 patients who met the criteria were included in the study. After PSM, 115 patients remained in each group. The survival of patients in the PORT group was significantly better than those in the non‐PORT group. Median OS was 36 months vs. 26 months, and 5‐year OS rate was 40.5% vs. 21.0% (p = 0.002). The median CSS was 38 months vs. 27 months, and the 5‐year CSS rate was 43.7% vs. 22.1% (p < 0.001). Multivariable analysis showed that PORT was an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.43–0.82, p = 0.001) and CSS (HR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.41–0.78, p = 0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that patients in the following subgroups could benefit from PORT: age ≤ 70, diagnosed in the later period (2010–2015), white race, squamous cell carcinoma, grade III–IV, lobectomy, stage T3‐4, or with positive regional nodes ≤3 or > 3.ConclusionsFor patients with ypN2 NSCLC after NCS, PORT significantly improves OS and CSS. These results need to be confirmed by further randomized studies.

Published: December 2021

AbstractBackgroundOxygen supplementation is recommended after traumatic brain injury (TBI) but excessive oxygen may be harmful. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of supplemental oxygen or high/low inspiratory oxygen fraction (FiO2) for TBI patients on in‐hospital mortality.MethodsWe searched Medline (Pubmed), EMBASE and the Cochrane Library for interventional and observational studies fulfilling the following criteria: TBI patients >17 years (population); initial use of supplemental oxygen/high (≥0.6) FiO2 (intervention) vs no supplemental oxygen/low (<0.6) FiO2 (control) for spontaneously breathing or mechanically ventilated TBI patients, respectively with in‐hospital mortality as primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were 30‐day and 1‐year mortality, length of stay in hospital or intensive care unit, days on mechanical ventilation, complications, and neurological impairment.ResultsWe screened 4846 citations. Two interventional studies comparing high vs low FiO2 for mechanically ventilated TBI patients were included. No difference in in‐hospital mortality was found. The first study found a statistically significant shorter length of stay in the intensive care unit for the high FiO2‐group (6.5 [4.6–11.4] vs. 11.4 [5.8–17.2] days, p = 0.02). The second study found a lower disability at 6 months in the high FiO2‐group with low disability in 25 (73.5%) vs. 15 (44.1%), moderate disability in 9 (26.5%) vs. 16 (47.1%), and severe disability in 0 (0.0%) vs. 3 (8.8%), p = 0.02.ConclusionEvidence on the effect of initial use of high/low FiO2 for TBI patients on in‐hospital mortality was extremely limited. Evidence on the use of supplemental oxygen for spontaneously breathing TBI patients is lacking.
