Reading in the age of digital distraction
Authors: Liu Ziming 
Published: December 2021

PurposeDigital distraction is a common phenomenon in e-reading contexts, and it is worth exploring in depth from the perspectives of information (digital content), users (readers) and technology (digital reading medium). Since screen reading has close links with multitasking and potential distraction, any investigation of reading in the digital environment must factor in this reality. This paper aims to investigate the extent and effects of digital distraction while reading on screens. Special emphases go to exploring multitasking while reading.Design/methodology/approachSurvey and analysis methods are employed.FindingsThe extent of digital distraction among college students it found is alarming. All the top four sources of distraction are communication-based activities. Female students tend to concentrate more than males when they read on screens. An overwhelming majority of participants choose to read in print to reduce distractions and to concentrate effectively. Screen reading is inherently distracting, primarily due to multitasking. It appears that repeated multitasking during academic endeavors carries substantial costs.Originality/valueImplications of digital distraction are discussed, and directions of future research are suggested.
Nexus among intellectual capital, interorganizational learning, industrial Internet of things technology and innovation performance: a resource-based perspective
Authors: Rehman Shafique Ur , Ashfaq Khurram , Bresciani Stefano , Giacosa Elisa , Mueller Jens 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThe authors observe the influence of intellectual capital (IC) on innovation performance with the mediating role of interorganizational learning (IOL) in the Pakistani automotive industry. Besides, industrial Internet of things (IoT) technology is used as moderating variables between IOL and innovation performance.Design/methodology/approachStructural equation modeling (SEM) presents scholars with extra flexibility and enhanced research conclusions. SEM is described as a statistical methodology and the best tool used for hypothesis testing. The authors used partial least squares SEM for testing hypotheses. The simple random sampling technique followed to collect data from respondents, and 492 questionnaires were used for analysis.FindingsThe outcomes reveal that IC enhances innovation performance and IOL. Moreover, IOL increases innovation performance. IOL significantly mediates between IC and innovation performance. Industrial IoT technology improves innovation performance. Finally, industrial IoT technology strengthens the positive association between IOL and innovation performance.Practical implicationsThis study concentrates on the issue of how managers use IOL and industrial IoT technology to take higher advantage of IC that increases innovation performance.Originality/valueThis is the initial study that builds a theoretical framework to integrate IC, IOL, industrial IoT technology and innovation performance. Although prior researchers observe the association between IC and innovation performance, less concentration was paid to understand the role of interorganizational leadership and industrial IoT technology in leveraging organizational IC.
Opening manufacturing flexibility's black box: the unexplored role of internal flexibility
Authors: Pérez-Pérez Marta , Serrano-Bedia Ana-María , López-Fernández María-Concepción 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to empirically test a research model exploring the complex links between internal and external manufacturing flexibility capabilities (IF and EF) and competitive advantage (CA).Design/methodology/approachA survey approach with responses from 266 Spanish manufacturing firms from different industries was used. Structural equation modelling and SPSS macro PROCESS were used to test the hypotheses.FindingsManufacturing flexibility (MF) is a dual-dimensional concept composed by IF and EF, which are complementary and hierarchical in its development. Contrary to previous assumptions, IF does not always express its final competitive effect through EF, which only partially mediates the IF–CA relationship. Thus, IF and EF independently can positively enhance a firm's CA, being the direct effect of the IF being stronger than EF.Practical implicationsThis study offers practical insights supporting a guide for prioritising flexibility capabilities through the holistic MF implementation, thus assisting managers wishing to formulate MF strategies seeking efficiency and customer value advantages relative to competitors.Originality/valueThe main novelty of this work is to explore for the first time the direct and indirect role of IF on CA, enlarging the assumptions of the flexibility funnel framework (FFF) and the strategic view of MF. The study is also unique due to both the depth and breadth of the investigation of the basis of the use of resource-based theory (RBT) and by employing a recent and comprehensive MF conceptual systematisation to guide the measurement approach.
Social marketing benchmark criteria use in health behaviour change interventions in pacific islands populations: a systematic review
Authors: Ryan Sarah T. , Kariippanon Katharina Elisabeth , Okely Anthony D. , Stanley Rebecca M. , Waqa Gade , Randle Melanie 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
Social marketing has been widely used to effectively and voluntarily change behaviours worldwide. The social marketing benchmark criteria offer a framework to apply this approach. This paper aims to examine the extent of use and predictors of success of social marketing benchmark criteria in changing the health behaviours of Pacific Islands populations.

Design/methodology/approach
A systematic review of studies designed to change health behaviours among Pacific Islands populations. Studies were assessed against the social marketing benchmark criteria to determine the extent to which the reported intervention used a social marketing approach; and whether the use of the social marketing benchmark criteria led to more effective interventions.

Findings
In total, 22 studies were included. In total, 13 were conducted within the Pacific Islands and 9 were aimed at Pacific Islands populations living in America, New Zealand or Hawaii. The most common criteria used were behaviour change, insight and customer orientation. Theory criterion was least commonly used. There was no clear indication of which criterion or combination of criteria, resulted in more effective interventions.

Research limitations/implications
Further empirical evaluations of social marketing interventions within the Pacific Islands context are required to appropriately assess effective predictors of success for this population group. Studies of social marketing interventions targeting non-Pacific Islands populations in non-Pacific Island countries and territories may have limited applicability to Pacific Islanders living in Pacific Island countries and territories.

Originality/value
While similar studies have been conducted, this is the first study to review all behaviour change interventions by applying a social marketing lens in the Pacific Islands. While globally this may have been reviewed, the Pacific Islands has a unique context that needs to be considered, rather than assuming a one size fits all approach. This study offers a comprehensive overview of existing health behaviour change interventions in the Pacific Islands and a call to action to move social marketing forward within the Pacific Islands.
Does supplier involvement enhance financial performance? The encapsulation effects of product modularity and smartness
Authors: Wang Yu , Jia Tao , Chen Jinliang , Chen Qiujun 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThis study aims to explore the conditional relationships between supplier involvement and financial performance. From a problem-solving perspective, this study takes the focal firm as a problem-solving system. It is postulated that supplier involvement enhances financial performance by helping solve complex problems of new product development. Furthermore, product modularity and smartness are considered contingent factors to clarify the boundary conditions.Design/methodology/approachThe ordinary least squares regression was conducted to test the hypotheses based on survey data from 136 high-tech firms in China.FindingsSupplier involvement is positively related to financial performance. Product modularity weakens the impact of supplier involvement on financial performance. Furthermore, product smartness strengthens the negative influence of product modularity on the relationship between supplier involvement and financial performance.Originality/valueThis study combines supplier involvement with product attributes. It takes a problem-solving perspective to rethink suppliers’ roles in new product development as problem-solvers rather than resource holders. Furthermore, this study advances the encapsulation effects of product modularity and smartness to influence the supplier involvement–financial performance link.
Achieving resilience through knowledge management practices and risk management culture in agri-food supply chains
Authors: Ali Imran , Golgeci Ismail , Arslan Ahmad 
Published: December 2021

PurposeGiven the increasingly turbulent business landscape and unprecedented incidents (e.g. Covid-19), firms must achieve supply chain resilience (SCRes) as a dynamic capability to bounce back from adversities and ensure continuity of operations. The purpose of this study is to integrate the three interrelated [knowledge management, risk management culture (RMC) and resilience] but often separately discussed concepts to advance the understanding of their intertwined influence on SCRes in the agri-food supply chains.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a cross-sectional survey approach where quantitative data is collected from 349 participants from the Australian agri-food supply chains to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsExposure to supply chain risks triggers the deployment of specific knowledge management practices in the agri-food supply chains. Further, the analysis on serial mediation suggests that firms’ knowledge management practices work sequentially (knowledge acquisition, assimilation and application) and develop a RMC to achieve SCRes amid supply chain risks.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study inform practitioners and policymakers who seek to understand the key mechanisms that facilitate the development of SCRes when facing supply chain risks, particularly in the Australian agri-food supply chains.Social implicationsThe growth of the food industry through more resilient food supply chains could ensure sustained food supply and more employment opportunities.Originality/valueUsing dynamic capability theory, the authors devise a novel empirical model that explicates how knowledge management practices and RMC instigate the dynamic capability of SCRes amid supply chain risks facing agri-food supply chains.
Why top managements must change their fundamental assumptions
Authors: Denning Stephen 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
Despite today’s profusion of customer-centric rhetoric, most business people still believe that the primary purpose of business is profits. But the most resilient and sustainably successful firms consistently select one primary purpose: enrich the lives of their customers. 10;

Design\methodology\approach
The article maps how the most valuable and fastest growing firms are paving the way for an era of customer-driven capitalism.

Findings
In the current digital age, an obsession with delivering value to customers is proving to be the key driving force for success.

Practical\implications
The goal of customer-value primacy is not a threat to other stakeholders.

Originality\value
Customer-driven leadership is a hallmark of successful management in the current context. Top management must institute and continuously support a value creation process that works backwards from the future. 10;
Commentary on: “Lost in the literature”. People with intellectual disabilities who identify as trans: a narrative review
Authors: Zirnsak Tessa-May 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to discuss the barriers that people with intellectual disabilities face to come out as transgender in the context of a paucity of research with or about this group.

Design/methodology/approach
The commentary and brief overview of trans participation in literature on people with intellectual disabilities presented in this paper is informed by a Queer Theory and Critical disabilities Studies approach.

Findings
Researchers in this area are correct that there is insufficient literature that addressed the experiences of trans people with intellectual disabilities; however, for trans people with intellectual disabilities to be involved in research they must first be safe to self-identify and come out in their communities and services. Existing research suggests that people with intellectual disabilities may face additional barriers to self-identifying as LGTBQ, and that for those who have claimed a trans identity, it is not safe to come out.

Social implications
There is a need for researchers and professional and lived experience experts to be engaged in policy and social research with the aim of creating safe spaces and communities for people with intellectual disabilities to explore and affirm their gender.

Originality/value
There are no published papers that redirect focus from a paucity of research into the experiences of trans people with intellectual disabilities towards addressing why trans people with intellectual disabilities may choose not to come out in a context of hostility towards transgender identity in disabilities services.
Case study: 4D consistent receiver coupling corrections applied to deep‐water ocean bottom cable data
Authors: de Souza Bezerra Moacyr , Simmons James L. , Gaiser James E. 
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACTWe develop processing techniques to attenuate S‐wave noise observed on the vertical component while also correcting for poor coupling between sensors and the seabed on deep‐water ocean bottom cable seismic data from offshore Brazil. To study these techniques, we simulate the effects of poor sensor coupling with synthetic ocean bottom cable data by introducing transfer functions that characterize the coupling system. Furthermore, by combining surveys from the deep‐water time‐lapse (4 dimensions) seismic project using an interleaving process, we can analyse coupling coefficient changes over time and obtain an S‐wave noise model that is more statistically accurate. This noise model can then be adaptively subtracted from the field data, leading to an improved normalized root mean square between surveys.
Cryptic niche differentiation of novel sediment ecotypes of Ruegeria pomeroyi correlates with nitrate respiration
Authors: Lin Xingqin , McNichol Jesse , Chu Xiao , Qian Yang , Luo Haiwei 
Published: December 2021

SummaryMarine intertidal sediments fluctuate in redox conditions and nutrient availability, and they are also known as an important sink of nitrogen mainly through denitrification, yet how denitrifying bacteria adapt to this dynamic habitat remains largely untapped. Here, we investigated novel intertidal benthic ecotypes of the model pelagic marine bacterium Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS‐3 with a population genomic approach. While differing by only 1.3% at the 16S rRNA gene level, members of the intertidal benthic ecotypes are complete denitrifiers whereas the pelagic ecotype representative (DSS‐3) is a partial denitrifier lacking a nitrate reductase. The intertidal benthic ecotypes are further differentiated by using non‐homologous nitrate reductases and a different set of genes that allow alleviating oxidative stress and acquiring organic substrates. In the presence of nitrate, the two ecotypes showed contrasting growth patterns under initial oxygen concentrations at 1 vol% versus 7 vol% and supplemented with different carbon sources abundant in intertidal sediments. Collectively, this combination of evidence indicates that there are cryptic niches in coastal intertidal sediments that support divergent evolution of denitrifying bacteria. This knowledge will in turn help understand how these benthic environments operate to effectively remove nitrogen.

ObjectiveMigration of a fish bone to the bile duct or pancreatic duct is a possible complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). The aim of this study was to clarify the incidence and indications for intervention in such cases.MethodsWe reviewed the cases with fish bone migration after PD detected on computed tomography (CT) scan between October 2000 and October 2020 were reviewed and the incidence of fish bone migration, presence of symptoms and signs, therapeutic modalities and patient outcomes were analyzed.ResultsAmong the 1475 PD procedures performed at our institution during the study period, 14 cases of fish bone migration were noted on CT, the incidence of which was 0.95% (14/1475). The time duration from surgery to the detection of fish bone ranged from 88 to 5902 days (median 917 d). Ten patients remained asymptomatic without therapeutic intervention for up to 2919 days (median 509 d). Four patients were treated by endoscopy, either at the patient's request (n = 1) or because of their symptoms (n = 3), and removal was successful in three cases but failed in one case in which the fish bone migrated to the right intrahepatic bile duct. No surgical treatment was required in any case.ConclusionsThe incidence of fish bone migration on CT after PD was about 1%. Some cases resolved spontaneously, and most of the asymptomatic cases required no intervention. For symptomatic cases, endoscopic treatment should be considered first. It is important to confirm the location of the fish bone by CT and determine whether it can be removed.
Shifts in xylanases and the microbial community associated with xylan biodegradation during treatment with rumen fluid

Published: December 2021

SummaryTreatment with rumen fluid improves methane production from non‐degradable lignocellulosic biomass during subsequent methane fermentation; however, the kinetics of xylanases during treatment with rumen fluid remain unclear. This study aimed to identify key xylanases contributing to xylan degradation and their individual activities during xylan treatment with bovine rumen microorganisms. Xylan was treated with bovine rumen fluid at 37°C for 48 h under anaerobic conditions. Total solids were degraded into volatile fatty acids and gases during the first 24 h. Zymography showed that xylanases of 24, 34, 85, 180, and 200 kDa were highly active during the first 24 h. Therefore, these xylanases are considered to be crucial for xylan degradation during treatment with rumen fluid. Metagenomic analysis revealed that the rumen microbial community’s structure and metabolic function temporally shifted during xylan biodegradation. Although statistical analyses did not reveal significantly positive correlations between xylanase activities and known xylanolytic bacterial genera, they positively correlated with protozoal (e.g., Entodinium, Diploplastron, and Eudiplodinium) and fungal (e.g., Neocallimastix, Orpinomyces, and Olpidium) genera and unclassified bacteria. Our findings suggest that rumen protozoa, fungi, and unclassified bacteria are associated with key xylanase activities, accelerating xylan biodegradation into volatile fatty acids and gases, during treatment of lignocellulosic biomass with rumen fluid.
Coverture and the Debtors' Prison in the Long Eighteenth Century
Authors: Wakelam Alexander 
Published: December 2021

AbstractUntil the late nineteenth century, the activities of English women were curtailed by the common law doctrine of coverture. While previous scholarship has documented how wives were able to subvert coverture to trade independently of husbands, little has been observed on how third parties similarly minimised common law. Through debt imprisonment – a largely extrajudicial process – this article reveals how creditors could force property ownership on married women against their will. That imprisoned wives struggled to assert their coverture further reveals the inferiority of contemporary rigid interpretations of coverture compared with the pressing needs of commercial interests.
Women's Strategies for Managing Land in Rural England, circa 1700‐1800
Authors: Rhodes Joshua 
Published: December 2021

AbstractAnalysing landholding histories of sixty‐one women farming land in Puddletown, Dorset, across the eighteenth century, this article shows, first, that the scale of women's ownership and occupation of land declined over time and, second, that women were less likely to expand and more likely to retire or scale back their farming enterprises than men. These differences are accounted for by age because most women landholders were widows and, therefore, generally older than their male counterparts. Like young men, younger widows expanded their farming enterprises, while women widowed later in life were more likely to scale back their holdings, as were elderly men.
The Georgian Landlady: Surrogate Mother, Love Interest or Hard‐Nosed Businesswoman?
Authors: Williamson Gillian 
Published: December 2021

Abstract‘Private lodging’, the letting of a room/rooms in their home by a resident householder, was widespread in Britain's Georgian towns and cities. Contemporary fiction, drama, prints and life‐writing reveal how observers and lodgers often took harsh, gendered attitudes to landladies. They were too attractive, or conversely too ugly, garrulous, mercenary. Lodgers, especially men, often expected a level of service that went beyond a commercial rental agreement: emotional support, company and nursing care, for example. This article uses a range of sources to examine these attitudes and then, reading between the lines, capture the viewpoint of the largely silent Georgian landlady. It uncovers a commercial market‐place of lodging in which middling‐sort women were routinely and skilfully engaged in paid work in the home beyond the provisioning and care of the affective nuclear family.
