Switching behaviour in activity-based working environments: an exploration of the reasons and influencing factors
Authors: Häne Eunji , Windlinger Lukas 
Published: October 2021

PurposeA tendency that employees do not frequently switch between different activity settings was reported in previous studies, which are opposed to underlying assumptions of activity-based working (ABW) offices. Although ABW is increasingly becoming a standard office concept, employees’ switching behaviour has not been studied in depth. This study aims to understand employees’ switching behaviour by identifying reasons (not) to switch and various influencing factors of switching behaviour.Design/methodology/approachAn online survey was conducted across Switzerland and Belgium, and 124 respondents participated in the questionnaire. The mismatch model was developed to examine whether the misfit between either activity or preference and work environment leads to switching to another place in the office.FindingsResults show that most of the respondents switch multiple times a day, which runs counter to the previous studies. Furthermore, this study presented clear evidence that mandatory switching frequency is independent of various factors presented in the study, indicating that the distinction between mandatory and voluntary switching is valid. Besides, results identified privacy, acoustics, distraction, proximity to team/colleagues as reasons to switch and as reasons not to switch, place preference/attachment, proximity to the team were determined.Originality/valueThis study contributed to better understanding switching behaviour by defining, distinguishing switching behaviour, identifying reasons (not) to switch and influencing factors of switching frequency. In addition, this study compared the misfit between activity and environment and the misfit between preference and environment as push factors leading to switching behaviour. These findings can provide more knowledge of switching behaviour to workplace or facility management practitioners.

Authors: Ge Bingbing , Campopiano Giovanna 
Published: October 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to review the literature on knowledge management in the family business, addressing the research question as follows: “How is knowledge managed across generations in the family business?” This study synthesizes the literature, highlighting the role of multiple stakeholders who affect knowledge management along with the phases of the succession process. Stemming from these findings and embracing a practice-based view, this paper offers research directions to guide future contributions on knowledge construction in the family business. The purpose of this study is not only to conclude the previous research but also to provide insights for future research directions and to provide practical implications.

Design/methodology/approach
Through a systematic integrative literature review, this paper collects map and analytically examine 63 published peer-reviewed articles related to knowledge management in the family business from 39 academic journals. This paper applies a rigorous approach to identify the sample of articles, map descriptive information of the reviewed literature and map theoretical contributions according to a multi-stakeholder and multi-stage framework.

Findings
The sampled articles are analyzed according to a multi-stakeholder and multi-stage framework inspired by Daspit et al. (2016). This study identifies critical gaps emerging from the analysis, thus opening the way to future research directions. In particular, this paper prompts scholars to advance the understanding of family-related knowledge and to clarify the assumptions on knowledge in their research.

Research limitations/implications
This paper contributes to the debate on knowledge management in the family business, by systematizing the current literature. In addition, this study embraces a “knowledge from practice perspective” and offers research directions to guide future contributions on knowledge construction in family business succession and potential areas to further management research investigating the role of family-related knowledge. Practical implications are also provided to benefit family businesses, consultants and policymakers.

Originality/value
This study provides a systematic integrative literature review of the articles published on knowledge management in family business according to a multi-stakeholder and multi-stage framework. Moreover, it draws an agenda for future research advancing a “knowledge from a practice perspective” in the family business literature.

Published: October 2021

PurposeResearch shows that strategic corporate real estate management (SCREM) practice contributes to organizational performance. However, globally, SCREM practice is hindered by numerous challenges especially in developing countries such as Ghana. This study examines the challenges of SCREM practice in Ghana from business and corporate real estate managers’ perspectives.Design/methodology/approachA mixed-method design was adopted for the study. The largely quantitative study was supported with qualitative data. The multi-stage sampling technique was used to select respondents from 35 institutions in five sectors. The relative importance index, consensus/agreement framework and Mann–Whitney U test were used for analysis.FindingsAnalysis revealed that there is latent resistance to the provision of CRE policy, adequate authority and resources as well as resistance to change in organizational culture for the adoption of SCREM practice. The CRE management function is thus not well integrated into corporate activities. It is seen as a non-core organizational function merely providing physical space and support services.Practical implicationsThe research has identified the challenges of SCREM and how these could be addressed to ensure that CRE is managed strategically to contribute effectively to organizational performance.Originality/valueThe paper is the first to identify the challenges of SCREM practice from business and CRE managers’ perspective in five sectors in Ghana, thus contributing to the limited literature on the subject globally.
Flower fields and pesticide use interactively shape pollen beetle infestation and parasitism in oilseed rape fields

Published: October 2021

Abstract

Pollen beetles (Brassicogethes spp.) are the main pests of oilseed rape (OSR, Brassica napus) in Europe and responsible for massive yield losses. Upcoming pesticide resistances highlight the need for other means of crop protection, such as natural pest control. Sown flower fields aim to counteract the decrease of insect biodiversity in agricultural landscapes by providing resources to ecosystem service providers. However, the optimal age and size of flower fields to increase natural pest control is still unclear.

We conducted experiments on 31 OSR fields located along a gradient of landscape‐scale semi‐natural habitat (SNH). OSR fields were located adjacent to flower fields which differed in age, continuity and size, or adjacent to crop fields or calcareous grasslands. Pesticide‐free areas were established to examine interactive effects of pesticide use and flower field characteristics. The abundance of pollen beetle adults and larvae, parasitism and superparasitism rates in OSR were recorded at increasing distances to the adjacent sites.

Flower fields and calcareous grasslands increased pollen beetle parasitism when compared to OSR fields neighbouring crop fields. The threshold for effective natural pest control of 35% could be reached in the pesticide‐free areas of OSR fields adjacent to calcareous grasslands and flower fields maintained continuously for at least 6 years. In pesticide‐sprayed areas, pollen beetle parasitism and superparasitism declined with increasing distance to the adjacent field. Furthermore, flower fields larger than 1.5 ha were able to improve pollen beetle parasitism more than smaller fields.

Synthesis and applications. To promote natural pest control in oilseed rape (OSR), large flower fields should be maintained for several years, to create stable habitats for natural enemies. The continuous maintenance of flower fields should be preferred, as ploughing and resowing after 5–6 years decreased the positive effects of the flower fields on natural pest control in adjacent OSR fields. However, pesticide use can abrogate positive effects of flower fields on pollen beetle parasitism. This study highlights that sown flower fields have the potential to increase natural pest control in OSR, but this potential is depending on its age, continuity and size and can be hindered by pesticide use.

Published: October 2021

AbstractAimThe aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of pain neuroscience education (PNE) in addition to usual treatment in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome.MethodsForty patients were randomized into 2 groups. The experimental group underwent PNE sessions over 6 weeks in addition to pharmacological treatment, and the control group was given only pharmacological treatment. The primary outcome measure was functional status and the secondary outcome measures were widespread pain pressure threshold and kinesiophobia level. All assessments were conducted before the intervention and at the end of the 6th and 12th weeks by the same blinded researcher.ResultsThe intervention group had significantly greater improvement than the control group in terms of the mean total scores in the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (P = .001) and the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (P = .001) with large effect sizes. The intervention group also had significantly greater improvement in the pain pressure threshold values of the cervical (P = .040), thoracic (P = .001), lumbar (P < .001), elbow (P = .005) and calf (P = .006) regions with moderate‐to‐large effect sizes.ConclusionThis study showed that the addition of 6‐week PNE sessions to pharmacological treatment was successful in improving functional status, widespread pain pressure threshold, and level of kinesiophobia in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome during a 12‐week follow‐up period.

Published: October 2021

AbstractThis pilot study assessed the glycaemic control and the serum levels of inflammatory mediators in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients with apical periodontitis (AP). Thirty individuals were divided into four groups: Healthy (H); with AP (AP); with T2DM (T2DM); and with T2DM and AP (T2DM‐AP). Demographic and pharmacological data were registered. The body mass index (BMI) and the levels of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and IL‐1β, IL‐6, IL‐10, CCL3 and CCL4 were evaluated. AP areas were determined radiographically. Mean age was 64 ± 12 years, with 63% females. Most T2DM patients were under treatment with metformin and antihypertensives. BMI and H1bAc were significantly higher in T2DM patients in relation to H and AP groups. The AP areas were larger in the T2DM‐AP group, compared with the AP group. These preliminary findings suggest no influence of AP on glycaemic control or inflammatory levels amongst T2DM patients, although T2DM increased the AP severity.
Triangulation of pharmacoepidemiology and laboratory science to tackle otic quinolone safety
Authors: Winterstein Almut G. , Antonelli Patrick J. 
Published: October 2021

AbstractBackgroundThe scientific method requires studies with high internal and external validity. Though both are necessary, they do not go hand‐in‐hand: The more controlled a study is to enhance internal validity, the less applicable to real‐world clinical care, and vice versa. In the many instances where evidence from clinical trials is not available, scientific inference must rely on more extreme approaches on this spectrum, such as mechanistic (limited generalizability/strong bias control) and real‐world evidence (RWE) studies (higher generalizability/lesser bias control).ObjectivesIllustrate how triangulating mechanistic and RWE studies can enhance scientific inference by delivering the supporting evidence for both.MethodsWe describe our research on an unexpected and highly unlikely drug safety issue: the risk of tympanic membrane (TM) perforations resulting from otic quinolone therapy. Tightly controlled laboratory studies using cell culture and rodent models were complemented with pharmacoepidemiological studies of real‐world data to translate mechanistic findings and corroborate RWE.ResultsWe present a cascade of mechanistic and RWE studies investigating fibroblast cytotoxicity, delayed healing of perforated TMs, and spontaneous TM perforations after otic quinolone exposure, all suggesting local tissue toxicity.ConclusionTriangulation of mechanistic and RWE studies allowed incremental progress toward robust evidence on otic quinolone toxicity.

Published: October 2021

ObjectivesFor most populations, implementation intentions (IIs) facilitate physical activity (PA). However, for older adults, previous studies found mixed evidence for the effectiveness of this behaviour change technique. To examine which characteristics of IIs predict successful enactment, the content of older participants’ IIs formed within a self‐regulatory intervention to prompt PA was analysed.DesignA sample of N = 126 German speaking adults aged 64 and older formed up to six IIs for PA and reported their enactment 5 weeks later.MethodsControlling for age and sex, multilevel models tested associations between characteristics of IIs (e.g., chronological rank of II, hetero‐ and homogeneity, specificity, presence of certain cues) and enactment.ResultsSignificantly related to enactment were: the chronological rank of an II (first IIs superior to last IIs), greater heterogeneity in activities, greater specificity of when‐cues, and greater use of pre‐existing routines.ConclusionsParticipants were more likely to enact their IIs 5 weeks later if they planned different (heterogeneous) activities, created IIs with more specific when‐cues (e.g., on Monday at 9 am), and in particular a routine (e.g., after breakfast). They also enacted the first three IIs (chronological rank of II) more often than the last three IIs. Future experimental studies should test whether providing instructions to create IIs based on the above significant characteristics lead to more effective health behaviour change among older adults.
Firm heterogeneity, technology adoption and the spatial distribution of population: Theory and measurement
Authors: Chernoff Alex W. 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThis paper develops and estimates an economic geography model featuring firm heterogeneity and technology adoption. I derive statistics that measure the effect of a new technology on productivity, welfare and the spatial distribution of the population. The empirical application estimates these effects using 19th‐century establishment‐level data on steam power in the Canadian manufacturing sector and township‐level population data. The results indicate that the introduction of steam power increased productivity by 22.9% and welfare by 4.9%. Comparing the model‐predicted and observed township population growth, I find that steam power accounts for 6.2% of the variation in observed population growth during this period.
Platelet‐rich plasma‐derived extracellular vesicles: A superior alternative in regenerative medicine?

Published: October 2021

AbstractPlatelet‐rich plasma (PRP), due to its promising therapeutic properties, has been used in regenerative medicine for more than 30 years and numerous encouraging outcomes have been obtained. Currently, by benefiting from new insights into PRP mechanisms and the excellent performance of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the field of tissue repair and regeneration, studies have found that a large number of EVs released from activated platelets also participate in the regulation of tissue repair. A growing number of preclinical studies are exploring the functions of PRP‐derived EVs (PRP‐EVs), especially in tissue regeneration. Here, we summarize the latest progress in PRP‐EVs as a superior alternative cell‐free therapeutic strategy in regenerative medicine, clarify their underlying molecular mechanisms, and discuss the advantages and limitations of the upcoming clinical applications. This review highlights the potential of PRP‐EVs to replace the application of PRP or even become a superior alternative in regenerative medicine.
Advising, gender, and performance: Evidence from a university with exogenous adviser–student gender match
Authors: Kato Takao , Song Yang 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThis paper provides the first causal evidence on the effects of gender match in the adviser–student relationship (as opposed to the well‐researched instructor–student relationship) on student outcomes along both the intensive and extensive margins. We analyze administrative data from a university with a faculty adviser assignment policy that makes gender pairing between advisers and students exogenous. We find that matching female students with female adviser has a positive and significant effect on retention and grade point average (GPA) upon graduation, particularly for students with academic challenges and non‐science, technology, engineering, and mathematics students. For female students with below‐median high school GPA, gender match is found to raise the odds of graduate school enrollments.
Public enterprise and the rise and fall of labor share
Authors: Bridgman Benjamin , Greenaway‐McGrevy Ryan 
Published: October 2021

AbstractDeveloped economies experienced a rise and fall in labor share (LS) in the postwar period. We present a novel explanation of these trends – public enterprise employment. We document a link between it and both LS and wage compression in 15 developed nations. We then build a model that shows how overstaffing public enterprises can increase LS and reduce wage inequality. Overstaffing directly increases public enterprise LS and indirectly increases private sector LS by reducing available labor. We examine several public enterprise reforms. Consistent with the model’s predictions, reforms reduce public enterprise LS permanently and private sector LS temporarily.
A systematic literature review of participatory design studies involving teachers
Authors: Tuhkala Ari 
Published: October 2021

AbstractParticipatory design is a well‐known approach that involves stakeholders in designing technologies and other innovations. In education, participatory design is especially advocated for involving students with special needs. However, less attention has been paid to how participatory design can help in collaborations with teachers. This paper presents a systematic literature review of participatory design studies conducted between 2007 and 2017 that involved teachers. A comprehensive compilation of studies was collected from fourteen search engines and databases. Participatory design studies that involved teachers were analysed, organised and synthesised to produce an overview of the studies. The studies were organised into three thematic categories by research topics: (1) environments, (2) practices, and (3) technologies. Studies focusing on environments included for example teacher involvement in designing physical buildings and technologies that were integrated into the environment. Studies focusing on practices considered professional communities, instructional planning, and professional development programmes. Studies focusing on technologies included for example teacher involvement in designing assessment and monitoring tools, educational games, learning and teaching applications, security and safety technologies, and technology for special needs. This systematic literature review provides a solid starting point for future participatory design research involving teachers.

AbstractObjectiveThis study was undertaken to evaluate the long‐term efficacy, retention, and tolerability of add‐on brivaracetam (BRV) in clinical practice.MethodsA multicenter, retrospective cohort study recruited all patients who initiated BRV between February and November 2016, with observation until February 2021.ResultsLong‐term data for 262 patients (mean age = 40 years, range = 5–81 years, 129 men) were analyzed, including 227 (87%) diagnosed with focal epilepsy, 19 (7%) with genetic generalized epilepsy, and 16 (6%) with other or unclassified epilepsy syndromes. Only 26 (10%) patients had never received levetiracetam (LEV), whereas 133 (50.8%) were switched from LEV. The length of BRV exposure ranged from 1 day to 5 years, with a median retention time of 1.6 years, resulting in a total BRV exposure time of 6829 months (569 years). The retention rate was 61.1% at 12 months, with a reported efficacy of 33.1% (79/239; 50% responder rate, 23 patients lost‐to‐follow‐up), including 10.9% reported as seizure‐free. The retention rate for the entire study period was 50.8%, and at last follow‐up, 133 patients were receiving BRV at a mean dose of 222 ± 104 mg (median = 200, range = 25–400), including 52 (39.1%) who exceeded the recommended upper dose of 200 mg. Fewer concomitant antiseizure medications and switching from LEV to BRV correlated with better short‐term responses, but no investigated parameters correlated with positive long‐term outcomes. BRV was discontinued in 63 (24%) patients due to insufficient efficacy, in 29 (11%) for psychobehavioral adverse events, in 25 (10%) for other adverse events, and in 24 (9%) for other reasons.SignificanceBRV showed a clinically useful 50% responder rate of 33% at 12 months and overall retention of >50%, despite 90% of included patients having previous LEV exposure. BRV was well tolerated; however, psychobehavioral adverse events occurred in one out of 10 patients. Although we identified short‐term response and retention predictors, we could not identify significant predictors for long‐term outcomes.
