Authors: Ouedraogo Noufou , Zaitouni Michel , Ouakouak Mohammed Laid 
Published: June 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of leadership credibility on employees' behaviours and attitudes towards organisational change through the lens of employee commitment to change.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted a quantitative study in which 239 participants from diverse organisations participated.FindingsUsing structural equation modelling techniques, the results reveal that leadership credibility has a positive effect on both affective and normative commitment to change but a negative effect on continuance commitment to change. The authors also report that change success is positively impacted by affective commitment to change and negatively impacted by continuance commitment to change but is not significantly affected by normative commitment to change.Research limitations/implicationsThus, the authors contribute to closing a knowledge gap in change management theory while making practical recommendations for leading people during times of organisational transition.Originality/valueThis study sheds light on the role of leadership credibility and employee commitment during organisational change.
Addressing plate waste and consumption practice at university canteens: realizing green university through citizen-consumers
Authors: Thongplew Natapol , Duangput Nadtaya , Khodkham Sasimaporn 
Published: June 2021

Purpose
This study aims to explore ways to minimize plate waste at university canteens by studying plate waste and consumers at three main canteens of a university, Thailand.

Design/methodology/approach
Using university canteens in Thailand as a case, plate waste was characterized and quantified and consumers’ insights concerning food consumption practices were examined through focus group discussion.

Findings
The results revealed that each consumer wasted edible food around 19 grams/meal. The generation of plate waste is affected by the food provision system, including canteen setting, food purchasing procedure and food quality. In addition, the presence of stray dogs in the canteens inhibited consumers from finishing up their food. Thus, improving the food provision system is crucial to engage consumers in achieving zero plate waste.

Originality/value
This research sheds some light on ways to engage consumers in sustainable consumption and contributes to the knowledge on plate waste and sustainable consumption in university settings. Improving food quality and canteen settings are of importance to better engage consumers. In addition, this research revealed that concepts of system of provision and citizen-consumers are practical to analyze sustainable transformations for green university initiatives.
Training competences in smart cities: an online program for higher education students
Authors: Adiego Joaquín , Martín-Cruz Natalia 
Published: June 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to explain the development of an online training curriculum to enable students to acquire the transversal competences needed to work on smart cities projects. In this curriculum, a modern approach to the teaching-learning process was applied, suitable for the interdisciplinary and multinational learning challenges that smart cities impose, but within the framework of a university-industry European partnership.

Design/methodology/approach
To develop the curriculum, the competences needed for smart cities, common to all disciplines and fields, had to be researched. In addition, real smart cities projects also had to be selected for work following a project-based learning methodology. For both, this study applied the Delphi method, selecting the most relevant ones based on the data obtained by performing a multi-criteria decision analysis.

Findings
The procedure followed for the identification of transversal competences in a field, the design of an innovative online training program and the results of the first edition of the program are discussed.

Research limitations/implications
The processes that were developed, both to detect the most relevant transversal competences and to design the online training program, could be extrapolated to other areas. Moreover, it is very likely that the competences detected in this work could also be extrapolated, for the most part, to interdisciplinary teams.

Originality/value
To date, there is no European initiative addressing the challenges of smart cities that requires a major adjustment in higher education, in the relationship between universities and all the mechanisms of lifelong learning with the industry related to smart cities. This work is a pioneer in this regard.
Identification of critical factors for the implementation of reverse logistics in the manufacturing industry of Pakistan
Authors: Ali Yousaf , Zeb Khaqan , Babar Abdul Haseeb Khan , Awan Muhammad Asees 
Published: June 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to identify major barriers to the implementation of reverse logistics (RL). Also, the study addresses best practices among reuse, remanufacture, recycling, refurbishment and repair as alternatives for RL processes.Design/methodology/approachThis study targets supply chain management experts for their opinions regarding the identification of critical barriers and alternatives for RL implementation. Their opinions were extracted through a Web questionnaire based on 14 criteria with 5 alternatives. The tools of multi-criteria decision-making are used for analysis, i.e. fuzzy VIKOR and fuzzy TOPSIS.FindingsThe results indicate that lack of recognition of competitive advantage to be gained through RL practice is the most critical barrier to RL implementation. The least barrier or major facilitator for RL is “supportive initiative for end-of-life products.” The top-ranked alternative in this study is reuse followed by remanufacturing. The least important alternative is “repair” in the case of Pakistan. These alternatives are ranked based on “qvalues” derived through fuzzy VIKOR.Research limitations/implicationsThe results of this study can only be generalized for the manufacturing sector of Pakistan during the period of the study.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study will assist managers in deploying the best practices concerning RL.Originality/valueFuzzy VIKOR and fuzzy TOPSIS have not been applied to RL alternatives in previous research.

Published: June 2021

AbstractThe Late Permian succession of the Upper Indus Basin in northeastern Pakistan is represented by the carbonate‐dominated Zaluch Group, which consists of the Amb, Wargal and Chhidru formations, which accumulated on the southwestern shelf of the Paleo‐Tethys Ocean, north of the hydrocarbon‐producing Permian strata of the Arabian Peninsula. The reservoir properties of the mixed clastic‐carbonate Chhidru Formation (CFm) are evaluated based on petrography, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x‐ray spectroscopy (EDX) and x‐ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The diagenetic features are recognized, ranging from marine (isopachous fibrous calcite, micrite), through meteoric (blocky calcite‐I, neomorphism and dissolution) to burial (poikilotopic cement, blocky calcite‐II‐III, fractures, fracture‐filling, and stylolites). Major porosity types include fracture and moldic, while inter‐ and intra‐particle porosities also exist. Observed visual porosity ranges from 1.5%–7.14% with an average of 5.15%. The sandstone facies (CMF‐4) has the highest average porosity of 10.7%, whereas the siliciclastic grainstone microfacies (CMF‐3) shows an average porosity of 5.3%. The siliciclastic mudstone microfacies (CMF‐1) and siliciclastic wacke‐packestone microfacies (CMF‐2) show the lowest porosities of 4.8% and 5.0%, respectively. Diagenetic processes like cementation, neomorphism, stylolitization and compaction have reduced the primary porosities; however, processes of dissolution and fracturing have produced secondary porosity. On average, the CFm in the Nammal Gorge, Salt Range shows promise and at Gula Khel Gorge, Trans‐Indus, the lowest porosity.
Reassessment of the Distribution of Mantle CO2 in the Bohai Sea, China: The Perspective from the Source and Pathway System
Authors: TANG Huafeng , GUO Tianchan , WU Keqiang , LIU Zilin , XU Jianyong , LU Baoliang , WANG Pujun 
Published: June 2021

AbstractResearch on the distribution of mantle CO2 should involve comprehensive analysis from CO2 source to accumulation. The crust‐mantle pathway system is the key controlling factor of the distribution of mantle CO2, but has received little attention. The pathway system and controlling factors of CO2 distribution in the Bohai Sea are analyzed using data on fault styles and information on the mantle and lithosphere. The relation between volcanic rocks and the distribution of mantle CO2 is reassessed using age data for CO2 accumulations. The distribution of mantle CO2 is controlled by uplift of the asthenosphere and upper mantle, magma conduits in the mantle and fault systems in the crust. Uplifted regions of the asthenosphere are accumulation areas for CO2. The area with uplift of the Moho exhibits accumulation of mantle CO2 at depth. CO2 was mainly derived from vertical migration through the upper mantle and lower crust. The fault style in the upper crust controls the distance of horizontal migration and the locations of CO2 concentrations. The distribution of mantle CO2 and volcanic rocks are not the same, but both probably followed the same pathways sometimes. Mantle CO2 in the Bohai Sea is concentrated in the Bozhong sag and the surrounding area, particularly in a trap that formed before 5.1 Ma and is connected to crustal faults (the Bozhang faults) and lithospheric faults (the Tanlu faults).
Revision to Kowalskia from the Houhecun Fauna and a New Discovery of Tscherskia (Cricetidae, Rodentia) from the Youhe Fauna of Weinan, Shaanxi Province, China
Authors: XIE Kun , ZHANG Yunxiang , LI Yongxiang 
Published: June 2021

AbstractThe fossil hamster (an isolated m1) from the early Early Pleistocene Houhecun fauna found in Dali, Weinan, Shaanxi, China, originally identified as Kowalskia dalinica, is reexamined. Its unique characters, including a high crown, very small degree of division of the anteroconid and relatively large size, is taken as evidence of its attribution to the genus Sinocricetus, instead of Kowalskia (junior synonym of Neocricetodon) suggested by the original author. Therefore, the specific name of the species established based on this m1 should be changed to S. dalinicus (Wang, 1988). S. dalinicus probably has a relatively close affinity with S. major Li, 2010, but there are still some obvious differences of characters between them. The discovery of S. dalinicus in the Houhecun fauna confirms that the genus indeed survived into the Pleistocene. A broken hamster mandible, which was found in Weinan, Shaanxi, China and belongs to the late Pliocene Youhe fauna, is also described here and identified as Tscherskia sp. This specimen represents the earliest Tscherskia in Asia so far, but fails to refute the hypothesis that the genus originated in Europe during the early Pliocene.
Hand use development in children with unilateral cerebral palsy
Authors: Klevberg Gunvor L , Jahnsen Reidun , Elkjær Sonja , Zucknick Manuela 
Published: June 2021

AimTo describe the development of hand use during bimanual activities among children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP).MethodA cohort of 166 children (79 females, 87 males; age range 18mo–13y, mean [SD] age at first assessment 37.6mo [20.5mo]) with unilateral CP, registered in the Norwegian CP Follow‐up Program with two or more Assisting Hand Assessments (AHAs), were included in this longitudinal study comprising 524 AHAs. Developmental limits and rates were estimated by non‐linear mixed effects models and compared between a stable limit model (SLM) and a peak and decline model. Development was described according to Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) levels and AHA performance at 18 months of age (AHA‐18).ResultsChildren in MACS level I, or in the high AHA‐18 group, reached highest limits and had the most rapid development (p<0.001). The developmental trajectories were different between MACS levels I, II, and III and between the high, moderate, and low AHA‐18 groups. Seventy‐five per cent of the children reached 90% of their estimated limit at 5 years 10 months or earlier. The SLM showed the best model fit (Akaike information criterion: 4008.99).InterpretationMost children approached a steady performance limit before 6 years of age. Although children in MACS levels I and II reached 90% of the expected limit at 3 and 4 years respectively, the corresponding age was 8 years for children in MACS level III. The better model fit for the SLM indicates that children with unilateral CP maintain their attained limit of hand use to at least the age of 13 years.
What this paper adds

Development of hand use between 18 months and 13 years follows a stable‐limit pattern.

Most children reach a steady limit on the Assisting Hand Assessment before 6 years of age.

Manual Ability Classification System levels I, II, and III represent distinct developmental trajectories, level III having a slower rise.

Early hand use is an important indicator of future development.
Attitudes to work and time spent unemployed across 30 years
Authors: Dunn Andrew 
Published: June 2021

AbstractEmpirical studies have not previously related people's work attitudes to their chances of being unemployed for a substantial proportion of their lives. This study uses 1958 and 1970 British birth cohorts to show that responses to attitude questions offering a choice between an unattractive or disliked job and joblessness rival established unemployment risk variables as predictors of time spent unemployed between ages 16 and 46. The findings may help justify the provisions of the Welfare Reform Act 2012 for compelling unemployed benefit claimants to apply for, and subsequently retain, jobs they would otherwise have ruled out.
Sovereign wealth funds: A potential solution to market failure and government failure
Authors: Broughel James 
Published: June 2021

AbstractSovereign wealth funds have gained popularity amongst both national and subnational governments. These funds have a useful role even in those countries lacking abundant natural resources, as they can address several significant failures of both private markets and governments. First, well‐structured funds may be able to address chronic under‐saving in the marketplace. Second, they can overcome certain imperfect knowledge and incentive problems found in government. The current record of accomplishment of sovereign wealth funds shows that they are capable of producing strong returns, comparable to those in the private sector. However, these funds pose potential problems that should be analysed and considered.
Changes in Italy's education‐related digital divide
Authors: Di Pietro Giorgio 
Published: June 2021

AbstractThis article examines differences in home computer and internet access among Italian households between 2005 and 2016. The results indicate that while computer and internet penetration has increased across all educational levels and geographical areas, digital inequalities related to education still persist and are substantial, especially in the South. Additionally, the findings suggest that the digital gap at the bottom of the education distribution is widening over time. Access among households whose reference person has primary education or less lags behind that of households with lower secondary education. Policy measures to promote and support the adoption of digital technologies among the most educationally disadvantaged households may need to be strengthened.

AbstractObjectivesErenumab is a human anti‐calcitonin gene‐related peptide receptor monoclonal antibody approved for migraine prevention. Global studies have demonstrated its efficacy in chronic and episodic migraine (EM). Here we report the outcomes from a Phase 3 study of erenumab in Japanese patients with chronic migraine (CM) or EM.MethodsJapanese patients with EM (<15 headache days/month, including ≥4 migraine days/month) or CM (≥15 headache days/month, including ≥8 migraine days/month) were randomized 1:1 to placebo or erenumab 70 mg once monthly for a 24‐week double‐blind treatment phase (DBTP). The primary endpoint of change from baseline in mean monthly migraine days (MMD) over months 4, 5, and 6 of the DBTP was compared between erenumab and placebo groups. Secondary efficacy and safety endpoints were also assessed.ResultsA total of 261 patients were randomized to placebo (n = 131) or erenumab 70 mg (n = 130); all patients were included in the efficacy and safety analyses. The mean (standard deviation) MMD at baseline was 11.84 (5.70) for the placebo group and 12.40 (5.99) for erenumab 70 mg. The mean (standard error) change in MMD was –1.98 (0.38) for the placebo group (n = 131) and –3.60 (0.38) for erenumab 70 mg (n = 130). The difference in MMD reduction between groups was −1.67 (95% CI: –2.56, –0.78, p < 0.001) for EM and –1.57 (95% CI: –3.39, 0.24, p = 0.089) for CM. Adverse events (AEs) were consistent with earlier studies. The most frequent AEs (placebo, erenumab) were nasopharyngitis (28.2% and 26.9%, respectively), back pain (4.6% and 5.4%), and constipation (0.8% and 4.6%).ConclusionTreatment with erenumab 70 mg once monthly demonstrated favorable efficacy and safety findings in Japanese patients with EM or CM.
Coping with crisis: The paradox of technology and consumer vulnerability
Authors: Yap Sheau‐Fen , Xu Yingzi , Tan LayPeng 
Published: June 2021

AbstractThe COVID‐19 pandemic has created unprecedented disruptions in consumers’ daily lives. Regulations imposing social distancing, quarantine and full‐scale lockdowns have heightened the risks amongst vulnerable consumer groups such as the elderly and socially or financially disadvantaged. However, these restrictions have also caused transitory vulnerability in many people who are not considered vulnerable under normal circumstances. Digital technology has become central to almost every aspect of consumers’ lives in response to restriction measures and in coping with pandemic‐induced stress and anxiety. Technology‐mediated consumption as a coping strategy amidst a crisis is an under‐researched topic within the marketing literature. This paper discusses four paradoxes of technology central to understanding the nexus between technology consumption and consumer vulnerability. We propose a comprehensive research agenda and call for future research that could overcome the limitations of traditional research designs. Our work serves as a springboard for future scholarship and opens doors for other researchers to continue exploring this critical research area.
The well‐being and voice of migrant workers in participatory organizational interventions
Authors: Le Huong , Nielsen Karina , Noblet Andrew 
Published: June 2021

AbstractOrganizational interventions that draw on participatory processes to tap into the views of workers can benefit both the health of workers and their organizations. However, the frameworks used to develop participatory organizational interventions are often described in a generic, ‘one‐size‐fits‐all’ manner. Considering the specific needs of diverse groups such as migrants is important, given current migration rates globally. Using the literature of migrant voice, cross‐cultural management, organizational change and organizational intervention, this paper extends the research by applying theoretical insights into identify specific strategies that enable migrant workers to have a genuine voice in organizational interventions. The paper further contributes to the literature by proposing a participatory intervention framework that organizations can implement to maximize the voice of migrant workers and subsequently improve their well‐being. The directions of future organizational intervention research involving migrant workers and implications for integration policy, integration support systems and unionization are discussed.
