Authors: Poirier Erik , Staub-French Sheryl , Pilon Angelique , Fallahi Azadeh , Teshnizi Zahra , Tannert Thomas , Froese Thomas 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to study the design process innovations that enabled the successful delivery of a hybrid, mass-timber high-rise building in Canada, the Brock Commons Tallwood House at the University of British Columbia. It is one of a set of papers examining the project, including companion papers that describe innovations used during the mass timber construction process and the impact of these innovations on construction performance.

Design/methodology/approach
A mixed-method, longitudinal case study approach was used in this research project to investigate and document the Tallwood House project over a three-year period. Both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis techniques were used. Graduate student researchers were embedded within the project team to observe meetings and decision-making and to conduct periodic interviews.

Findings
The research highlights a case of a balanced triple-helix system that provided a context for the successful “clustering” of product and process innovation, which were developed and implemented to flow throughout the project’s lifecycle and across its supply chain to provide benefits at each stage. Four significant process-based innovations were implemented at the design phase of the building project to support radical product innovation: an integrated design process, virtual design and construction, designing for manufacturing and assembling and a rigorous quality control and quality assurance process. The product innovations developed through these process innovations were the structural system and the prefabricated envelope system. The context of innovation was seen to allow this “clustering,” which is believed to be a key condition of success and enabled the efficient and successful delivery of the project. Generally, the approach was successful; however, some factors including the number of stakeholders and good-faith collaboration may limit the replicability of these strategies.

Originality/value
This paper presents an in-depth investigation into the instantiation of an innovation system, identified as a balanced triple-helix system, which enabled and facilitated the design and decision-making process for a radical product innovation. Moreover, this paper describes the deployment of a “cluster” of process innovations that flowed throughout the project’s lifecycle and across the project supply chain. This was seen as a key factor in ensuring the successful delivery of the project.
A 10-bit 200 MS/s pipelined ADC with parallel sampling and switched op-amp sharing technique
Authors: Sam D.S. Shylu , Paul P. Sam 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
In parallel sampling method, the size of the sampling capacitor is reduced to improve the bandwidth of the ADC.

Design/methodology/approach
Various low-power techniques for 10-bit 200MS/s pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC) are presented. This work comprises two techniques including parallel sampling and switched op-amp sharing technique.

Findings
This paper aims to study the effect of parallel sampling and switched op-amp sharing techniques on power consumption in pipelined ADC. In switched op-amp sharing technique, the numbers of op-amps used in the stages are reduced. Because of the reduction in the size of capacitors in parallel sampling technique and op-amps in the switched op-amp sharing technique, the power consumption of the proposed pipelined ADC is reduced to a greater extent.

Originality/value
Simulated the 10-bit 200MS/s pipelined ADC with complementary metal oxide semiconductor process and the simulation results shows a maximum differential non-linearity of +0.31/−0.31 LSB and the maximum integral non-linearity (of +0.74/−0.74 LSB with 62.9 dB SFDR, 55.90 dB SNDR and ENOB of 8.99 bits, respectively, for 18mW power consumption with the supply voltage of 1.8 V.
The cultural dimensions in supply chain management research: a state-of-the-art review and research agenda
Authors: EL Baz Jamal , Jebli Fedwa , Cherrafi Anass , Akenroye Temidayo , Iddik Sadia 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
This research aims to review how current supply chain management (SCM) research addresses cultural issues, presents a critical assessment of literature and discusses future research avenues.

Design/methodology/approach
The literature is reviewed using systematic literature review, bibliometric citation analysis and content analysis. A total of between 1995 and 2019 in Institute for Scientific Information Web of Science’s database.

Findings
Descriptive data related to chronological evolution of literature, geographical location, influential papers and methodology are presented. Four main research areas were categorized, namely, papers on SC integration and performance; research on continuous improvement and lean initiatives; studies on the role of culture in sustainability, corporate social responsibility and green practices; and studies on emerging topics of research. Most studies focused on organizational culture frameworks, adopted a static approach to culture and targeted mainly developed countries and Asian emerging countries. A research agenda is suggested based on a multilevel cultural framework including operational and SCM culture.

Research limitations/implications
Practitioners and researchers will gain a greater understanding of how cultural issues have been addressed in current literature. A multilevel framework is proposed based on the concept of “operational” and “SCM culture”, to address some of the issues identified in current literature.

Originality/value
To the best of authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the first literature reviews that considers both national and organizational culture dimensions in SCM research, whereas prior approaches were fragmented or one-dimensional.
Effect of job situational factors on work outcomes of facilities managers
Authors: Ling Florence Yean Yng , Zhang Zhe , Tay Stephanie Yen Ling 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
This study aims to investigate how the situational factors that facilities managers (FMs) in Singapore face in their jobs affect their work outcomes. Job situation factors such as types of tasks, interpersonal relationships in teams, supervisors’ actions and advancements opportunities are classified into job characteristics, social environment characteristics, leadership and organisational practices categories.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on a systematic literature review, a questionnaire was designed to collect data on work outcomes and job situational factors from FMs working in public housing estates in Singapore. Using the Statistical Package for the Social Science software, inferential statistical analyses were carried out.

Findings
FMs reported that they used economical means and resources to carry out their work significantly frequently and achieved significantly high productivity. Complaints are received significantly frequently and maintenance defects are regularly encountered. Many of the job situational factors are present and found to be significantly correlated with work outcomes and some of these may be used to predict FMs’ work outcomes. Based on the correlation results, the frequency of complaints from residents may be reduced through the following ways: make FMs’ work tasks less challenging; reduce the variety of work tasks that FMs need to execute; reduce FMs’ work volume and speed of work.

Research limitations/implications
This study is limited to FMs managing public housing estates in Singapore. The work outcomes are self-reported, and thus susceptible to bias. However, as the respondents reported significantly frequent complaints and defects, this might indicate that the bias is not serious.

Practical implications
FMs’ jobs should be broken down into small parts/tasks and assigned to different FMs to specialise. This makes FMs’ tasks less challenging, and allows them to specialise to increase their productivity, improve their quality of work and overcome the problem of high work volume or demanding work speed. By adopting job specialisation, the frequency of receiving complaints from residents may be reduced.

Originality/value
This study discovered strategies to reduce the number of complaints from residents of public housing about facilities management. The contribution to knowledge is that complaints by residents on facilities management can be reduced by adopting job specialisation but not job enlargement. Decomposing work into different tasks and allowing FMs to focus on a few tasks would lead to a reduction in complaints. It also enables FMs to master the skill and complete the tasks without much oversight or supervision.
Post-disaster sheltering process after the 2019 floods, in Golestan province, Iran
Authors: Shariat Alavi Mahsa , Fallahi Alireza , Mottaki Zoheir , Aslani Fereshteh 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
As a flood-prone region in Iran, Golestan province has encountered various disasters in its history. The last one occurred in March 2019, affected Aq-Qala County and caused irreparable physical, economic, social and environmental problems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the process of providing shelter in emergency, rehabilitation and reconstruction phases after the floods in the villages of Aq-Qala.

Design/methodology/approach
A research method is a hybrid approach. The collection of data involved a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches in addition to reviewing the documented texts in resources to collect the required data using observations, field survey activities, questionnaires and in-depth interviews. From April 2019 to December 2019, nine separate visits have occurred to collect the needed information.

Findings
This paper shows dissatisfaction with providing shelter and attempts to identify the factors which caused the challenges. The findings revealed issues such as hygienic problems in collective camps, lack of thermal resistance in temporary accommodations and rising material prices. These findings lead to a contributive list of suggestions avoiding the recurrence of the harms in the future.

Originality/value
This study proposes solutions and approaches to improve the post-flood settlement process for possible floods in the future such as equipped camps, proper temporary housing, monitoring the reconstruction and the price of the materials. If these approaches are used by authorities and people in similar rural areas, the long-term effects of inadequate post-flood shelter can be reduced.
How reward systems affect team performance in banks: evidence from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region
Authors: Serhan Carole , Salloum Wissam , Abdo Nader 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of reward systems on team performance and analyze how satisfaction with rewards can result in better working performance and cohesiveness in the job environment.

Design/methodology/approach
Data was collected from 32 single members of different teams working in 10 selected banks from the Middle East and North Africa region.

Findings
The analysis from empirical findings reveals that there is a positive link between reward systems and team performance. More particularly, profit sharing has positive effects on team performance and collective bargaining reward systems affect significantly team cohesiveness. These links create an opportunity for employers to use reward systems as a motivating factor to direct team behavior toward more employee retention.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the teamwork performance research stream by empirically studying how rewards improve team performance and cohesiveness in Eastern contexts. Studies in such contexts are relatively rare.
Beneficial and harmful effects of CB1 and CB2 receptor antagonists on chronotropic and inotropic effects related to atrial β‐adrenoceptor activation in humans and in rats with primary hypertension

Published: August 2021

AbstractWe have previously shown that cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptor antagonists, AM251 and AM630, respectively, modulate cardiostimulatory effects of isoprenaline in atria of Wistar rats. The aim of the present study was to examine whether such modulatory effects can also be observed (a) in the human atrium and (b) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY). Inotropic effects of isoprenaline and/or CGP12177 (that activate the high‐ and low‐affinity site of β1‐adrenoceptors, respectively) were examined in paced human atrial trabeculae and rat left atria; chronotropic effects were studied in spontaneously beating right rat atria. AM251 modified cardiostimulatory effects more strongly than AM630. Therefore, AM251 (1 μM) enhanced the chronotropic effect of isoprenaline in WKY and SHR as well as inotropic action of isoprenaline in WKY and in human atria. It also increased the inotropic influence of CGP12177 in SHR. AM630 (1 μM) decreased the inotropic effect of isoprenaline and CGP12177 in WKY, but enhanced the isoprenaline‐induced inotropic effect in SHR and human atria. Furthermore, AM251 (0.1 and 3 μM) and AM630 (0.1 μM) reduced the inotropic action of isoprenaline in human atria. In conclusion, cannabinoid receptor antagonists have potentially harmful and beneficial effects through their amplificatory effects on β‐adrenoceptor‐mediated positive chronotropic and inotropic actions, respectively.
Spatially resolved correlative microscopy and microbial identification reveal dynamic depth‐ and mineral‐dependent anabolic activity in salt marsh sediment

Published: August 2021

SummaryCoastal salt marshes are key sites of biogeochemical cycling and ideal systems in which to investigate the community structure of complex microbial communities. Here, we clarify structural–functional relationships among microorganisms and their mineralogical environment, revealing previously undescribed metabolic activity patterns and precise spatial arrangements within salt marsh sediment. Following 3.7‐day in situ incubations with a non‐canonical amino acid that was incorporated into new biomass, samples were resin‐embedded and analysed by correlative fluorescence and electron microscopy to map the microscale arrangements of anabolically active and inactive organisms alongside mineral grains. Parallel sediment samples were examined by fluorescence‐activated cell sorting and 16S rRNA gene sequencing to link anabolic activity to taxonomic identity. Both approaches demonstrated a rapid decline in the proportion of anabolically active cells with depth into salt marsh sediment, from ~60% in the top centimetre to 9.4%–22.4% between 2 and 10 cm. From the top to the bottom, the most prominent active community members shifted from sulfur cycling phototrophic consortia, to putative sulfate‐reducing bacteria likely oxidizing organic compounds, to fermentative lineages. Correlative microscopy revealed more abundant (and more anabolically active) organisms around non‐quartz minerals including rutile, orthoclase and plagioclase. Microbe–mineral relationships appear to be dynamic and context‐dependent arbiters of biogeochemical cycling.

Published: August 2021

AbstractThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has had implications for all of us. For those of us studying on clinical psychology doctorates, and similar psychotherapeutic training courses, this pandemic has led to some particular challenges. This article explores the experiences of a group of clinical psychology trainees, who are also completing intermediate systemic qualification, during the COVID‐19 pandemic using a systemic case study approach. We consider the challenges we faced in relation to systemic theory and the intervention we would have used if we were clients in a family therapy clinic. This enabled us to reflect on the importance of self‐reflexivity and self‐care during these challenging times.Practitioner points

Using systemic thinking and ideas can help organisations make sense of how the system has had to adapt to working during a pandemic and can bring to light some of the challenges.

During the pandemic and at other times of crisis, opportunities for students and staff to reflect together are likely to be beneficial.

When working independently, as necessitated by the pandemic, finding ways to remain connected to our colleagues will be especially important.

Providing opportunities for individuals to give feedback regarding their experiences and to influence organisational change will help individuals gain a sense of agency during a time when they are likely otherwise to feel disempowered.
Evaluation of switching treatment from high dose of darbepoetin to lower dose of roxadustat in Japanese hemodialysis patients

Published: August 2021

AbstractRoxadustat is one of the oral hypoxia‐inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF‐PHIs) that stimulates erythropoiesis and regulates the genes related to iron metabolism. The treatment of HIF‐PHIs is useful compared with that of erythropoietin stimulating agent (ESA) using various instruments and procedures. Few clinical researchers have examined the efficacy and safety of switching treatment from Darbepoetin to Roxadustat in Japanese hemodialysis (HD) patients. However, HIF‐PHIs have severe adverse drug reactions, such as thrombotic events. In the present study, we evaluated the lower dose of roxadustat in HD patients receiving high dose of ESA therapy. Eighteen anemic HD patients receiving an ESA, that is,, darbepoetin over 40 μg per week, were enrolled in this study. The treatment of these patients was changed to 20 mg of roxadustat three times weekly for 6 months, after which doses were adjusted to achieve a hemoglobin (Hb) target of 10.0–12.0 g/dL. An increase of 58.1 ± 32.5 mg roxadustat three times weekly increased Hb. It also achieved and then maintained levels within the target range at month 6. Ferritin levels of more than 100 ng/mL or TSAT levels of more than 20% were maintained during the 6‐month treatment periods with oral or intravenous iron supplementation. It seems unnecessary to increase the initial dose of roxadustat for patients using high doses of ESA. It is suggested that a reconsideration of the starting dose of roxadustat in Japanese HD patients is needed. (Ikegami General Hospital, Medical Corporation SHOWAKAI、Approval number: 2020–4).
Reframing talent identification as a status‐organising process: Examining talent hierarchies through data mining
Authors: Nijs Sanne , Dries Nicky , Van Vlasselaer Véronique , Sels Luc 
Published: August 2021

AbstractWe examine how peers form talent appraisals of team members, reframing talent identification as a status‐organising social process. Using decision trees, we modelled configurations of characteristics and behaviours that predicted dominant versus parallel routes to achieving the status of most talented team member. Across 44 multidisciplinary teams, talent status was most often granted to peers perceived as having both leadership and analytic talent; a STEM degree served a dominant signalling function. Where previous studies assumed that degree operates as a specific status characteristic, we show that a STEM degree operates as a diffuse status characteristic, which predicts status in general. We thus discovered that status hierarchies in teams are also based on the type of talent—and not just the level of talent—members are perceived to possess. In so doing, we offer a proof of concept of what we call ‘talent hierarchies’ in teams, for future research to build on.
High oxygen atmospheric packaging treatment regulates the postharvest changes of Chinese kale (Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra) during storage

Published: August 2021

AbstractChinese kale is one of the most popular vegetables in southern China and Asia, but it has a short shelf‐life. The effect of high oxygen atmospheric packaging (HOAP) treatment on the respiration rate as well as chlorophyll content and the expression of their metabolism‐related genes of the soluble proteins in Chinese kale during storage were assessed. The results showed that Chinese kale subjected to HOAP treatment showed stimulated respiration rate and regulated expression of chlorophyll metabolism‐related genes, such as BrChlases, BrPPH (pheophytin pheophorbide hydrolase), BrPAO (pheidea oxygenase gene), BrRCCR (red chlorophyll catabolite reductase), and BrSAG12 (senescence‐associated gene), compared to the Chinese kale in the control. The activities of chlorophyll enzymes, that is, Chlase and Mg‐dechelatase, were also influenced by HOAP treatment during storage. Furthermore, the total content of soluble proteins was stimulated to accumulate, and the intensity of protein bands, detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis profiling, increased in HOAP‐treated samples. Based on the current results, as well as the results of our previous study regarding HOAP treatment of other vegetables, we speculate that HOAP may function by regulating the respiration rate and the accumulation of functional proteins, especially chlorophyll catabolic and antioxidant enzymes, to maintain the freshness of Chinese kale during storage.Practical ApplicationHOAP treatment could be a potential method for delaying quality changes and extending the shelf‐life of Chinese kale after harvest.

Published: August 2021

AbstractThe objective of this study was to develop probiotic beverages, enriched with plant proteins, with high nutritional value. A rice‐based beverage fermented with a specific probiotic formulation comprised Lactobacillus acidophilus CL1285, Lactobacillus casei LBC80R and Lactobacillus rhamnosus CLR2 has been enriched with a combination of pea and rice proteins (PR) or pea and hemp proteins (PH) at 13 and 11% total protein, respectively. These protein associations have been selected because their amino acid ratio was >1, as recommended by the FAO. The beverage enriched with protein significantly increased its viscosity by more than 10 times thanks to the enrichment, while the fermentation reduced it by 50% for PR and 20% for PH. In vitro protein digestibility results showed that the protein enrichment and the fermentation treatment significantly increased digestibility values of the beverages with value of 72.7% for fermented PR beverage and 61.4% for unenriched fermented control beverage (p ≤ 0.05). Peptide profiles of PR and PH enriched beverages indicated that the fermentation led to a reduced level of high molecular weight (HMW) peptides of about 60% and an increase of low molecular weight (LMW) peptides by over 50%. Therefore, both the fermentation and the enrichment in protein increased the nutritional value of the rice‐based beverages.Practical ApplicationGood quality of probiotics formulation and high‐protein products are in increasing demand and plant proteins as an alternative of animal protein are popular. This study has permit to develop rice‐based commercial probiotic beverages enriched in a combination of pea and rice or pea and hemp proteins in order to obtain a complete protein in terms of amino acids composition. The lactic acid fermentation and the enrichment with a plant protein combination led to a better protein digestibility of beverage.
