Decision-making approach for complex problems management in a scarce human resources environment
Authors: Andrade Marcilio , Carinhana Jr Dermeval 
Published: April 2021

Purpose
This purpose of this study is to structure complex problems to be solved with greater efficiency, optimising the relationship between root causes (RC) relevance of the problem and utilisation of human resources to treat them, minimising the use of manpower in problem-solving activity and thus contributing to greater productivity within organisations.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors built an approach under the concepts of theory of constraints and multiattribute and multiobjective decision-making methods that were applied in a real complex problem of the low development of Brazilian space industry, by theoretical perspective. Also, the authors submitted it in a simulation environment to assess in which situations it is successful considering number of problem’s RC, system complexity and number of people in the system.

Findings
The approach was successful on the real case, finding the optimal relationship between the RC relevance and the number of people involved to treat them. For certain complex problem inputs configurations, simulation results reveal that the approach is reliable obtaining more than 95% chance of success in finding the optimal relationship, when comparing with traditional prioritising methods.

Originality/value
This approach introduces an unprecedented way to locate and evaluate non-physical constraints within a system, which is used to determine RC relevance, as well as an unprecedented way of defining a single optimal solution for structuring a problem, considering the relevance of RC and the use of human resources. The approach is useful for organisations in general which often need managing complex problems with few resources.
Human rights of people with mental illness diagnosis: perceptions among service users, family members and health professionals in Tunisia
Authors: Rekhis Mayssa , Ouanes Sami , Ben Hamouda Abir , Rafrafi Rym 
Published: April 2021

Purpose
This study aims to assess the awareness about the rights of people with mental illness in the main psychiatric hospital in Tunisia among the service users, the family members and the staff.

Design/methodology/approach
The Convention of Rights of People with Disabilities mandates that State Parties initiate and maintain campaigns and human rights training to promote understanding of the rights of people with mental illnesses, considered as a main factor for their fulfillment. Service users, family members and staff evaluated, through a survey, the importance of ten rights for persons with mental illness, stated in the convention.

Findings
Disparities were found in the perception of the different rights by and between the three groups. The highest levels of awareness were associated with the freedom from torture or degrading treatment and the right to live with dignity and respect, whereas the lower importance were assigned to the right to participation in recovery plans, to give consent and to exercise legal capacity.

Originality/value
The lack of awareness and the poor perception of rights of people with mental illness is one of the barriers to their achievement. More training and awareness raising is necessary.
Use it or lose it: point expiration and status demotion
Authors: Shin Hyunju , Casidy Riza 
Published: April 2021

Purpose
In managing hierarchical loyalty programs (HLP), firms often use a reward point expiration and status demotion policy to reduce financial liability and to encourage repeat purchases. This study aims to examine how point expiration and status demotion policies affect customer patronage, the role of extension strategies in mitigating the negative effects of these policies on customers and the moderating role of status endowment in the effect of point expiration on customers patronage following status demotion experience.

Design/methodology/approach
Three experiments were conducted using the hotel industry as the context. The hypothesized relationships were tested using ANOVA and a serial moderated mediation analysis using SPSS PROCESS Macro.

Findings
Customers subjected to reward point expiration exhibited a higher level of anger and perceived severity of the problem than those subjected to status demotion in HLP. Consequently, when customers experienced both point expiration and status demotion, the point extension strategy rather than the status extension strategy was found to be a more effective remedy for reducing perceived unfairness, although there was no change in the level of patronage reduction between the two extension strategies. Importantly, the effect of point expiration on patronage reduction was stronger among endowed-status customers than earned-status customers, serially driven by heightened feelings of embarrassment and perceived unfairness.

Originality/value
The study adds to the existing literature on HLP by comparing the effects of point expiration and status demotion on customer patronage with practical insights for HLP managers.
A cognitive social capital explanation of service separation distress
Authors: Goode Sigi 
Published: April 2021

Purpose
Service separation distress arises when service consumers worry that a useful service may become unavailable. This paper aims to integrate two theoretical explanations of ongoing service use, being service continuance and relationship commitment and a common foundation of cognitive social capital.

Design/methodology/approach
This study conducts an online survey of 245 cloud service consumers, which we use to test our research model.

Findings
This paper finds that relationship commitment mediates the service continuance explanation in explaining service separation distress.

Research limitations/implications
While service features are important, they are less important than the consumer’s perceived relationship with the service in promoting perceived service separation distress. Contrary to expectations, the finding identified the service relationship as the dominant explanation for service separation distress.

Practical implications
Jeopardy to the consumer-provider relationship can create greater anxiety and distress to consumers than a disruption that threatens service features alone. Adding service features may not reduce customer separation distress regarding the service.

Social implications
The unified cognitive social capital lens on service separation suggests that consumers value service provider relationships (e.g. commitment and trust) over service features. A stronger social relationship with the consumer, in turn, strengthens the perceived service offering.

Originality/value
This is among the first studies to unify two explanations of service continuance using social capital and to empirically identify how this explanation affects service distress.

Authors: Fazlollahtabar Hamed , Kazemitash Navid 
Published: April 2021

Purpose
However, due to the huge number of studies and on the other hand to be new and creative, the represented models and methods – as the two main parts of this field – have been got more complicated, which consequently have been turned into unpractical research studies for the realistic situations. Therefore, the purpose of this study is the representation of a novel and simple method to deal with the aforementioned gap.

Design/methodology/approach
To this end, Fazl-Tash method have been proposed, in which a thorough and complete model including 114 criteria and a simple technique to rank and select the best supplier have been presented. Sustainability and resiliency are considered in collecting criteria effective on supplier selection.

Findings
The method was carried out in a case study in an industrial company. The efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated in comparison with other conventional approaches.

Originality/value
As selecting the supplier plays a crucial role to bring some important advantages for companies, such as coping with the cost and time problems and influencing the majority of contemporary markets’ requirements, in recent years, there have been representing more effective studies in the supplier selection literature.

The power of materialism among young adults: exploring the effects of values on impulsiveness and responsible financial behavior
Authors: Lučić Andrea , Uzelac Marija , Previšić Andrea 
Published: April 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of values of materialism on cognitive and affective impulsiveness and responsible financial behavior among young adults.

Design/methodology/approach
A large-scale study (n = 483) was conducted on a sample of young adults 18 to 25 years of age in Croatia.

Findings
The research found that materialism has no direct effect on responsible financial behaviour (RFB), however, cognitive impulsiveness fully mediates the relationship of all three there three elements of materialism, centrality, success and happiness and RFB. Affective impulsiveness has no effect on the relationship. Furthermore, only materialism as centrality strongly and positively influences cognitive and affective impulsiveness.

Practical implications
Presented conclusions could be used by policymakers as guidelines for developing educational plans and curriculum to build financial capability and consumer protection among young adults and could be helpful for brand management activities targeting young people purchase decisions.

Originality/value
This paper’s ultimate purpose is to uncover the mechanism and the power of materialism on impulsiveness and responsible financial behavior. The paper’s originality is established by the focus on the investigation of materialism as an antecedent factor of impulsiveness and by questioning the nature of the relationship between materialism and responsible financial behavior through the mediating effect of impulsiveness.
The Politics of Petitioning: Parliament, Government, and Subscriptional Cultures in the United Kingdom, 1780–1918
Authors: HUZZEY RICHARD , MILLER HENRY J. 
Published: April 2021

AbstractOver the course of the long nineteenth century, people in the United Kingdom signed a wide variety of petitions, addresses, testimonials, and related documents. Though many forms of subscriptional culture had medieval and early modern origins, their transformations across this period reveal the shifting perceptions of the crown, parliament, the administrative state, and local government. The article draws on a dataset of more than 1 million petitions to the House of Commons and surviving data from the House of Lords, alongside qualitative evidence of signed addresses to other authorities. This reveals a pattern whereby applications and requests increasingly took new, bureaucratic forms, and petitions became more closely associated with the representation of public opinion. The study suggests the value of examining the practices and processes, alongside the languages and ideas, that shaped political culture. This emphasises the participatory and representative politics of name‐signing as a means to materialise popular opinion in a responsive ‐ but not democratic ‐ state.

Published: April 2021

AbstractThis study examined the effects of different sequential treatments of dextran glycation and succinic anhydride acylation on the structure and physicochemical properties of soy protein isolate (SPI). The tested properties included electrophoresis (SDS‐PAGE), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, endogenous fluorescence spectroscopy, surface hydrophobicity (H0), free sulfhydryl (‐SH), solubility, interfacial properties, rheological properties, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the two treatments significantly improved the structure and functional characteristics of the SPI. The order of the methods had an important effect on the SPI. The lowest H0 (231.76 ± 11.92), the highest free ‐SH content (3.09 ± 0.09 µmol/g), and the highest solubility at pH = 7 (77 ± 3.97%) were obtained when the acylation treatment was followed by the glycation treatment. Emulsification, emulsion stability, foaming, and foam stability were also the highest. Glycation and acylation caused the viscosity coefficient (k) of the SPI solution to decrease compared with SPI alone, but the flow index (n) value increased, and the sum G' value of the conjugate system decreased as gel time increased. SEM showed that its microstructure has changed significantly. Therefore, this research provided an effective method for improving the functional characteristics of SPI and had potential industrial application prospects.Practical ApplicationGlycation and acylation of soybean protein isolate improved the chemical modification method of protein, improved the functional properties of soybean protein, widened its application in food and materials, and provided a new idea for the further development and utilization of soybean protein.

Published: April 2021

AbstractAimsTo examine the acute effects of alcohol on working memory (WM) updating, including potential variation across the ascending limb (AL) and descending limb (DL) of the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) time‐course.DesignA two‐session experiment in which participants were randomly assigned to one of three beverage conditions [alcohol (males: 0.80 g/kg; females: 0.72 g/kg), active placebo (0.04 g/kg) or non‐alcohol control (tonic)] and one of two BAC limb testing conditions (AL and DL or DL‐only) for the second session, yielding a 3 (beverage) × 2 (time‐points tested) × 3 (time‐point) mixed factorial design with repeated measures on the latter factor. One of the repeated assessments is ‘missing by design’ in the DL‐only condition.SettingA psychology laboratory at the University of Missouri campus in Columbia, MO, USA.ParticipantsTwo hundred thirty‐one community‐dwelling young adults (51% female; aged 21–34 years) recruited from Columbia, MO, USA, tested between 2011 and 2013.MeasurementsLatent WM updating performance as indexed by shared variance in accuracy on three WM updating tasks (letter memory, keep track, spatial 2‐back) at three time‐points.FindingsMulti‐group modeling of latent WM updating indicated that performance among participants who consumed placebo or control beverages improved during the second session at time‐points corresponding to AL (∆ from baseline in latent mean ± standard error (SE) + 0.5 ± 0.01, P < 0.001) and DL (+ 0.08 ± 0.01, P < 0.001). Alcohol consumption did not impair WM updating (∆ from baseline in latent mean ± SE, at AL: + 0.01 ± 0.01, P = 0.56; at DL: + 0.05 ± 0.01, P < 0.001), but attenuated performance improvements (equality of latent means across beverage groups at AL or DL: Δχ2(1) ≥ 7.53, P < 0.01).ConclusionsAcute alcohol‐induced impairment in working memory updating may be limited, but dampening of practice effects by alcohol could interfere with the completion of novel, unpracticed tasks.

Published: April 2021

AbstractIntroductionNear‐infrared fluorescence cholangiography during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become widely accepted as a useful auxiliary tool to visualize the extrahepatic biliary structures. We investigated the feasibility and educational value of a method with longer interval between the administration of indocyanine green and the imaging of these structures.MethodsApproximately 18 hours before their surgery, patients (n = 51) were intravenously administered 0.25 mg/kg of indocyanine green. Each laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed under fluorescence imaging in combination with white‐light imaging. Operative outcomes including visualization of the extrahepatic biliary structures and operative time were compared between the patients on whom board‐certified surgeons operated (feasibility phase; n = 18) and the patients on whom a surgery resident operated (educational phase; n = 33).ResultsThere were no adverse events related to the longer interval method. The visualization rates of extrahepatic biliary structures were comparable between the two phases. Both the mean time to divide the cystic duct and the mean time to remove the gallbladder in the educational phase were significantly longer than those in the feasibility phase (68.2 vs 24.4 minutes and 30.2 vs 15.8 minutes, P < .001 each). There was no significant difference in other operative outcomes. The operative time learning curve did not decrease with a resident's experience.ConclusionsFluorescence cholangiography with the longer interval method was feasible and could identify the extrahepatic biliary structures irrespective of the surgeon's experience; however, it did not decrease the operative time with experience.

SummaryIn the phase 3 POLLUX trial, daratumumab in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (D‐Rd) significantly improved progression‐free survival in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) compared with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Rd) alone. Here, we present patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) from POLLUX, assessed using the validated European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30‐item (EORTC QLQ‐C30) and the EuroQol 5‐dimensional descriptive system (EQ‐5D‐5L) questionnaires. Changes from baseline are presented as least‐squares mean changes with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) derived from a mixed‐effects model. PRO assessment compliance rates were high and similar in both D‐Rd and Rd groups through cycle 40 (week 156). In this on‐treatment analysis, mean changes from baseline were significantly greater in EORTC QLQ‐C30 global health status, physical functioning, and pain scores in the D‐Rd group versus the Rd group at multiple time points; however, magnitude of changes was low, suggesting no meaningful impact on health‐related quality of life (HRQoL). Subgroup results were similar to those in the overall population. In the POLLUX study, baseline HRQoL was maintained with prolonged D‐Rd treatment. These findings complement the sustained and significant improvement in progression‐free survival observed with D‐Rd and supports its use in patients with RRMM.Clinical trial registration: NCT02076009.

Published: April 2021

Background and PurposeCannabidiol (CBD) is a non‐euphorigenic component of Cannabis sativa that prevents the development of paclitaxel‐induced mechanical sensitivity in a mouse model of chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). We recently reported that the CBD structural analogue KLS‐13019 shows efficacy in an in vitro model of CIPN. The present study was to characterize the behavioural effects of KLS‐13019 compared to CBD and morphine in mouse models of CIPN, nociceptive pain and reinforcement.Experimental ApproachPrevention or reversal of paclitaxel‐induced mechanical sensitivity were assessed following intraperitoneal or oral administration of CBD, KLS‐13019 or morphine. Antinociceptive activity using acetic acid‐induced stretching and hot plate assay, anti‐reinforcing effects on palatable food or morphine self‐administration and binding to human opioid receptors were also determined.Key ResultsLike CBD, KLS‐13019 prevented the development of mechanical sensitivity associated with paclitaxel administration. In contrast to CBD, KLS‐13019 was also effective at reversing established mechanical sensitivity. KLS‐13019 significantly attenuated acetic acid‐induced stretching and produced modest effects in the hot plate assay. KLS‐13019 was devoid of activity at μ‐, δ‐ or κ‐opioid receptors. Lastly, KLS‐13019, but not CBD, attenuated the reinforcing effects of palatable food or morphine.Conclusions and ImplicationsKLS‐13019 like CBD, prevented the development of CIPN, while KLS‐13019 uniquely attenuated established CIPN. Because KLS‐13019 binds to fewer biological targets, this will help to identifying molecular mechanisms shared by these two compounds and those unique to KLS‐13019. Lastly, KLS‐13019 may possess the ability to attenuate reinforced behaviour, an effect not observed in the present study with CBD.
