Quick and dirty or rapid and informative? Exploring a participatory method to facilitate implementation research and organizational change
Authors: von Thiele Schwarz Ulrica , Andersson Kin , Loeb Carina 
Published: September 2021

PurposeThe purpose is explore an approach to acquire, analyze and report data concerning an organizational change initiative that combines knowledge generation and knowledge use, and contrast that with a method where knowledge generation and use is separated. More specifically, the authors contrast a participatory group workshop with individual interviews analyzed with thematic analysis, focusing on information about the change process and its perceived practical relevance and usefulness.Design/methodology/approachParticipants were managers responsible for implementing a broad organizational change aiming to improve service quality (e.g. access and equity) and reduce costs in a mental health service organization in Sweden. Individual interviews were conducted at two points, six months apart (i1: n = 15; i2: n = 18). Between the interviews, a 3.5-h participatory group workshop was conducted, during which participants (n = 15) both generated and analyzed data through a structured process that mixed individual-, small- and whole-group activities.FindingsBoth approaches elicited substantive information about the content, purpose and process of change. While the content and purpose findings were similar across the two data sources, the interviews described how to lead a change process, whereas the workshop yielded concrete information about what to do. Benefits of interviews included personal insights about leading change while the workshop provided an opportunity for collective sense-making.Originality/valueWhen organizational stakeholders work through the change process through a participatory workshop, they may get on the same page, but require additional support to take action.
An expansion of the technology acceptance model applied to the halal tourism sector

Published: September 2021

PurposeThe increasing number of tourists in the Muslim world every year has encouraged digital business developers and the Sharia banking industry to integrate halal product and service apps with the Sharia mobile banking system. The fourth wave of the industrial revolution has changed the consumer paradigm, creating a young generation that uses digital service transaction systems in their daily lives. This paper aims to investigate the factors that determine intention to use halal tourism apps amongst Muslim tourists to provide insights promoting the development of halal tourism in Indonesia.Design/methodology/approachThe research was conducted using an online survey approach. The sample comprised 205 Muslim Millennial and Generation Z travellers. The data collected were analysed using partial least square structural equation modelling. There were three analysis stages: evaluation of the measurement model, assessment of the structural model and hypothesis testing.FindingsThe findings indicated that trust mediated the relationship between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness on individual intentions and that halal knowledge positively and significantly impacted individual intentions. In contrast, religiosity was not a significant influence on individual intentions.Originality/valueThe paper expanded the technology acceptance model by incorporating the key constructs of halal knowledge, religiosity and trust into an integrated research framework; this represented a novel step, especially in the context of halal tourism. The finding that trust mediated the relationship between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness fills a gap in previous research, which has rarely included the trust construct in technology acceptance models.

Published: September 2021

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the relationships between high-performance work systems (HPWS) on knowledge-sharing behavior (KSB) among Indonesian employees through the mediating role of feeling trusted (FT) and moderating role of generational differences (GD).

Design/methodology/approach
Sample were collected from 278 employees working in the Indonesian financial companies. This research used structural equation modeling to investigate the associations of HPWS and KSB. Furthermore, Sobel Test was applicated to test the mediation effect of FT. Finally, Hayes PROCESS was used to test the moderation impact of GD.

Findings
The empirical results revealed that HPWS positively impact FT and KSB. Hereafter, FT also positively impacts KSB and then succeeds to mediate the relationships between HPWS and KSB. Finally, GD were failed to moderate the relationships between HPWS and KSB.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the few studies that illustrate the roles of GD between the relationships between HPWS and KSB.

The elephant in the family: Costs and benefits of elder siblings on younger offspring life‐history trajectory in a matrilineal mammal

Published: September 2021

AbstractMany mammals grow up with siblings, and interactions between them can influence offspring phenotype and fitness. Among these interactions, sibling competition between different‐age offspring should lead to reproductive and survival costs on the younger sibling, while sibling cooperation should improve younger sibling's reproductive potential and survival. However, little is known about the consequences of sibling effects on younger offspring life‐history trajectory, especially in long‐lived mammals.We take advantage of a large, multigenerational demographic dataset from semi‐captive Asian elephants to investigate how the presence and sex of elder siblings influence the sex, survival until 5 years old, body condition, reproductive success (i.e. age at first reproduction and lifetime reproductive success) and long‐term survival of subsequent offspring.We find that elder siblings have heterogeneous effects on subsequent offspring life‐history traits depending on their presence, their sex and the sex of the subsequent offspring (namedfocal calf).Overall, the presence of an elder sibling (either sex) strongly increased focal calf long‐term survival (either sex) compared to sibling absence. However, elder sisters had higher impact on the focal sibling than elder brothers. Focal females born after a female display higher long‐term survival, and decreased age at first reproduction when raised together with an elder sister rather than a brother. Focal males born after a female rather than a male showed lower survival but higher body weight when both were raised together. We did not detect any sibling effects on the sex of the focal calf sex, survival until 5 years old and lifetime reproductive success.Our results highlight the general complexity of sibling effects, but broadly that elder siblings can influence the life‐history trajectory of subsequent offspring. We also stress the importance of considering all life stages when evaluating sibling effects on life trajectories.
Synzootics

Published: September 2021

Abstract

Ecologists increasingly recognise coinfection as an important component of emergent epidemiological patterns, connecting aspects of ecoimmunology, behaviour, ecosystem function and even extinction risk.

Building on syndemic theory in medical anthropology, we propose the term ‘synzootics’ to describe co‐occurring enzootic or epizootic processes that produce worse health outcomes in wild animals. Using framing from syndemic theory, we describe how the synzootic concept offers new insights into the ecology and evolution of infectious diseases.

We then recommend a set of empirical criteria and lines of evidence that can be used to identify synzootics in nature. We conclude by exploring how synzootics could indirectly drive the emergence of novel pathogens in human populations.
From taxonomic to functional dark diversity: Exploring the causes of potential biodiversity and its implications for conservation

Published: September 2021

Abstract

The conservation of natural habitats requires an accurate assessment of both their degradation and their potential for restoration. Among the tools available, dark diversity is promising, since it estimates all the species that could be present in a community due to favourable environmental conditions but are currently lacking. However, current experimental approaches measure dark diversity mainly from species co‐occurrences, which rely partly on neutral processes, and also suffer from several problems concerning the inclusion of rare species.

Here, we propose a novel method to estimate dark diversity, which is based on more deterministic co‐occurrence and also strongly limits the problems of rarity: the co‐occurrence of species' functional features. We adapted the Beals' co‐occurrence index using functional groups, and we estimated functional dark diversity based on co‐occurrence of functional groups. To illustrate the interests of our approach, we then addressed as an example a major issue of restoration ecology: how does passive rewilding (i.e. spontaneous restoration of woodlands) impact the ecological integrity of recovered communities? We compared post‐agricultural woodlands with ancient forests, in terms of taxonomic and functional dark diversity of vascular plants and spiders.

For both taxa, the patterns of dark diversity in recent woodlands and ancient forests changed depending on whether we used the taxonomic or functional approach. This was due to the detection of functional features even if they were hosted by rare species, and to the consideration of ecological redundancy between species in functional groups. Notably, recent woodlands harboured plant communities with a similar amount of taxonomic dark diversity compared to ancient forests, but with less functional dark diversity. Also, the composition of functional dark diversity clearly differed between forest types.

Synthesis and applications. Functional dark diversity brings novel perspectives for ecological diagnostic and restoration. In particular, it provides a more mechanistic understanding of the constraints which limit the re‐assembly of natural communities during restoration practices (e.g. dispersal limitation). The functional approach usefully complements the taxonomical one to identify habitat conservation and restoration interests, especially for highly degraded sites where the detection of missing groups via species is biased because of their rarity.
Unmasking photogranulation in decreasing glacial albedo and net autotrophic wastewater treatment
Authors: Park Chul , Takeuchi Nozomu 
Published: September 2021

SummaryIn both natural and built environments, microbes on occasions manifest in spherical aggregates instead of substratum‐affixed biofilms. These microbial aggregates are conventionally referred to as granules. Cryoconites are mineral rich granules that appear on glacier surfaces and are linked with expanding surface darkening, thus decreasing albedo, and enhanced melt. The oxygenic photogranules (OPGs) are organic rich granules that grow in wastewater, which enables wastewater treatment with photosynthetically produced oxygen and which presents potential for net autotrophic wastewater treatment in a compact system. Despite obvious differences inherent in the two, cryoconite and OPG pose striking resemblance. In both, the order Oscillatoriales in Cyanobacteria envelope inner materials and develop dense spheroidal aggregates. We explore the mechanism of photogranulation on account of high similarity between cryoconites and OPGs. We contend that there is no universal external cause for photogranulation. However, cryoconites and OPGs, as well as their intravariations, which are all under different stress fields, are the outcome of universal physiological processes of the Oscillatoriales interfacing with goldilocks interactions of stresses. Finding the rules of photogranulation may enhance engineering of glacier and wastewater systems to manipulate their ecosystem impacts.

AbstractPurposeThis study aimed to develop the nursing diagnosis concept “compromised end‐of‐life syndrome” in palliative care.MethodsThe authors used the integrative strategy by Meleis to develop the concept in this study and identifying clinical indicators from a literature review. For data organization, we applied the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Metanalysis (PRISMA).FindingsSome clusters of unpleasant signs and symptoms in palliative care patients at the end of life, such as pain, dyspnea, depression, constipation, and anxiety, were identified. Through conceptualization, the authors propose a new nursing diagnosis, “compromised end‐of‐life syndrome.” The manuscript includes a model case of a patient with nursing diagnosis syndrome as a clinical example.ConclusionsSimultaneous patterns of signs and symptoms present in the literature reinforce the utility of the proposition of end‐of‐life syndrome as a nursing diagnostic construct.Implications for nursing practiceThe concept development related to patients’ unpleasant signs and symptoms critically ill at palliative care supports the proposition of a new nursing diagnosis relevant to selecting adequate nursing interventions and nursing outcomes.

Cathodoluminescence microscopy for interpreting the fabric and heating process of ancient pottery: Preliminary study on the technological features of pottery from the Kur River basin
Authors: Emami Mohammadamin , Chapoulie Rémy , Abdi Kamyar 
Published: September 2021

AbstractHeterogeneous sherds were collected from 10 archaeological sites located in the Kur River Basin (KRB) in southern Iran. They have been analysed through routinely standard microscopic approach, including momentous cathodoluminescence microscopy in order to characterize the pottery fabrication and diversities in raw material and firing behaviour between different pottery production from the eighth to third millennium BCE. Cathodoluminescence interpretations identify the diverse properties of the sherds from the KRB material. Conversely, their microfabrics are essentially conceded to a not tightly packed fabrication. Characterizing the raw material, additives and initial vitrification texture were identified through petrography and SEM. The effect of heating in such heterogenous body was essentially characterized by cathodoluminescence microscopy. Combining these methods demonstrates the advantages of multimicroscopical methods for studying insights among diverse raw materials and heat gradient from the surface into the core of ancient pottery, which led to display selective experimental pottery production.

Published: September 2021

AbstractObjectivesTo assess the osseointegration of calcium‐coated (CS) and chemically modified, sandblasted, large‐grit, acid‐etched (MS) dental implants with a lack of primary mechanical stability.Materials and MethodsEighteen implants in CS and MS groups each were loosely placed in the mandible of six mongrel dogs and allowed to heal for 2, 4 and 8 weeks. Implant stability quotient (ISQ) and implant stability test (IST) values recorded periodically and bone‐to‐implant contact (BIC) and the number of Haversian canals per 1 mm2 measured histologically were statistically analysed (p < .05).ResultsAll CS and MS implants placed survived. Compared with immediately after installation, ISQ and IST values in both groups increased significantly to over 76 at 2 weeks (p < .0083) and remained stable thereafter. BIC was significantly greater at 8 weeks (61.3 ± 13.6% in CS group; 57.6 ± 5.9% in MS group) compared to 2 and 4 weeks in both groups (p < .017). There were no significant intergroup differences in ISQ, IST or BIC at different time points. Significantly more Haversian canals were observed in group CS (6.2 ± 1.0/mm2) compared with group MS at 4 weeks (3.7 ± 1.8 /mm2; p < .05), while intergroup difference was not significant at 8 weeks.ConclusionBoth CS and MS implants inserted without primary stability obtained osseointegration within 2 weeks, and lamellar bone adjacent to the implants was first observed at 8 weeks. The formation of primary osteons was more active at 4 weeks in group CS than in group MS.

AbstractObjectivesTo compare the incidence of biological and technical complications of cemented and screw‐retained monolithic lithium‐disilicate implant‐supported posterior single crowns.Material and MethodsForty‐one subjects with a total of 56 implants received randomly allocated 28 cemented and 28 screw‐retained crowns. In the screw‐retained group, monolithic lithium‐disilicate restorations were luted to titanium bases extraorally. In the cemented group, monolithic lithium‐disilicate crowns were cemented on individualized titanium abutments intraorally. All restorations were examined according to modified FDI criteria within 2 weeks of inserting the crowns (baseline) and after 12 (n = 46) and 24 (n = 43) months. Bone loss was evaluated by standardized radiographs at baseline and 12 months.ResultsAfter 12 months, the incidence of mucositis (positive bleeding on probing) was 14.2% (screw‐retained) and 17.9% (cement‐retained). The gingival and plaque index and a mean marginal bone loss between 0.03–0.15 mm showed no significant difference between the groups. In the cemented group, cement residues were detected at baseline at two restorations (6.9%) by radiographic examination. A complete digital workflow was realized in most cases (85.7%). At 24 months, no restoration had failed, and no chipping of the ceramic had occurred. In the screw‐retained group, screw loosening occurred in one implant. In both groups, there was obvious deterioration in the quality of 32% of the occlusal and of 18% of the proximal contact points.ConclusionsThe type of retention mode of monolithic implant‐retained lithium‐disilicate posterior crowns had no influence on the biological and technical complication rate.
