City brand love: modelling and resident heterogeneity analysis
Authors: Sadeque Saalem , Swapan Mohammad Shahidul Hasan , Roy Sanjit K. , Ashikuzzaman MD 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
This study aims to investigate how city dependence and city social bonding determine city brand love. In addition, the study examines whether there are different resident segments that exhibit distinct behaviour in relation to city brand formation.

Design/methodology/approach
The study is based on primary responses collected from 595 residents from Khulna city in Bangladesh. The research model is tested using partial least square (PLS) structural equation modelling. The resident segments were identified using PLS prediction-oriented segmentation method.

Findings
Results show that city dependence (i.e. dependence on urban facilities and services provided by the city) and city social bonding (i.e. social interactions amongst residents in the city) lead to city brand love through city satisfaction and city identification. In addition, the study finds that city social bonding and city satisfaction are important for the relationship-reliant residents, whereas city dependence and city identification are important for the resource-reliant residents.

Research limitations/implications
Future research can investigate the relationship between the length of residence and native vs non-native residents’ influence on city brand love formation.

Practical implications
The city brand managers and planners should adopt a resident-inclusive approach that considers the different needs of the residents to engender city brand love.

Originality/value
The study contributes to city branding literature by empirically investigating the under-researched topic of city brand love by identifying the key constructs and their role in determining city brand love. Further, it shows that the route to city brand love formation is different based on residents’ needs.
Are public employees more satisfied than private ones? The mediating role of job demands and job resources
Authors: Gastearena-Balda Lourdes , Ollo-López Andrea , Larraza-Kintana Martín 
Published: August 2021

PurposeThis paper aims to compare job satisfaction in public and private sectors and the mediating role of several job demands and resources on the relationship between the employment sector and job satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on the job demands-resources model, this study argued that differences in job satisfaction were explained largely by the job characteristics provided in each sector. Data comes from the quality of working life survey, a representative sample of 6,024 Spanish public and private employees.FindingsThis study revealed that public employees were more satisfied than private ones. This relationship was partially mediated by job demands and job resources, meaning that the public and private employment sectors provided different working conditions. Public employees, in general, had fewer demands and more job resources than private ones, which resulted in different levels of job satisfaction. Additionally, partial mediation indicated that public employees are more satisfied than private ones, despite accounting for several job demands and job resources.Research limitations/implicationsWhile the findings of this study highlighted the relative importance of job demands and job resources in affecting job satisfaction of public and private employees, the generalizability of the results to other countries should be limited as the study only used data from a single country.Practical implicationsA significant portion of the positive effect on job satisfaction of public employees is channeled through the lower levels of routine work and lower number of required working hours and through better job resources such as higher salary, more telework, greater prospects at work and more training utility. To improve job satisfaction, it is apparent that managers should pay special attention to things such as routine work, working hours, training and telework.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the comprehension of how several job demands and resources simultaneously play a mediating role in explaining the relationship between the employment sector and job satisfaction.
Systematic approach for reducing micro-crack formation in Inconel 713LC components fabricated by laser powder bed fusion
Authors: Wang Hung-Yu , Lo Yu-Lung , Tran Hong-Chuong , Raza M. Mohsin , Le Trong-Nhan 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
For high crack-susceptibility materials such as Inconel 713LC (IN713LC) nickel alloy, fabricating crack-free components using the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technique represents a significant challenge because of the complex interactions between the effects of the main processing parameters, namely, the laser power and scanning speed. Accordingly, this study aims to build up a methodology which combines simulation model and experimental approach to fabricate high-density (>99.9%) IN713LC components using LPBF process.

Design/methodology/approach
The present study commences by performing three-dimensional (3D) heat transfer finite element simulations to predict the LPBF outcome (e.g. melt pool depth, temperature and mushy zone extent) for 33 representative sample points chosen within the laser power and scanning speed design space. The simulation results are used to train a surrogate model to predict the LPBF result for any combination of the processing conditions within the design space. Then, experimental trials were performed to choose the proper hatching space and also to define the high crack susceptibility criterion. The process map is then filtered in accordance with five quality criteria, namely, avoiding the keyhole phenomenon, improving the adhesion between the melt pool and the substrate, ensuring single-scan-track stability, avoiding excessive melt pool evaporation and suppressing the formation of micro-cracks, to determine the region of the process map which improves the relative density of the IN713LC component and minimizes the micro-cracks. The optimal processing conditions are used to fabricate IN713LC specimens for tensile testing purposes.

Findings
The optimal processing conditions predicted by simulation model are used to fabricate IN713LC specimens for tensile testing purposes. Experimental results show that the tensile strength and elongation of 3D-printed IN713LC tensile bar is higher than those of tensile bar made by casting. The yield strength of 791 MPa, ultimate strength of 995 MPa, elongation of 12%, and relative density of 99.94% are achieved.

Originality/value
The present study proposed a systematic methodology to find the processing conditions that are able to minimize the formation of micro-crack and improve the density of the high crack susceptivity metal material in LPBF process.
Personal branding on Instagram: an examination of Iranian professional athletes
Authors: Sharifzadeh Zahra , Brison Natasha T. , Bennett Gregg 
Published: August 2021

PurposeThis study investigates the personal branding strategies utilized by Iranian professional athletes. It also examines the challenges these athletes face in attempting to create a personal brand. For example, unlike their global counterparts, Iranian athletes’ access to social media is limited to only Instagram, due to a ban in Iran on the use of Facebook and Twitter. This specific situation provides unique opportunities and interactions in the personal branding process.Design/methodology/approachUtilizing a criterion purposive sample of Iranian professional athletes, the authors conducted in-depth, semi-structured interviews to understand the branding strategies and challenges of these athletes.FindingsTwo categories (branding strategies and cultural/societal challenges), along with Six themes emerged. The categories were derived based on the literature review and the subsequent research questions.Originality/valueThis paper provides valuable information on challenges and opportunities for athletes' personal branding from international perspectives. Also, the results of the study broaden our understanding of how athletes' personal branding can function in different countries and contexts. Findings will provide governing bodies and sport marketers have a better understanding of athletes' social media usage.
Tissue chemistry of biocrust species along an aridity gradient and comparison to vascular plant leaves
Authors: Mallen‐Cooper Max , Cornwell William K. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract

Biocrusts are an extensive autotrophic groundcover but are regularly excluded from ecosystem models. One rationale for their exclusion is that their contributions to C and N cycles are negligible in comparison to vascular plants. Here we estimated the magnitude of the biocrust contribution to nutrient cycling in functional terms, comparing tissue chemistry and stoichiometry per ground area with vascular plants per leaf area.

We quantified tissue C, N, P and a range of micronutrients in 21 abundant biocrust taxa from an aridity gradient spanning 500 km of Australian drylands.

The C, N and P tissue chemistry of biocrust species and vascular plant leaves occupied a similar range, both as ratios and per area. This implies that in functional terms, biocrusts could be considered as a single layer of leaf area spread out across the ground and added to Leaf Area Index (LAI) measurements accordingly.

Within biocrust species, the C:N ratio significantly declined with increasing aridity, which was entirely driven by carbon. This finding demonstrates a key functional difference between vascular leaves and biocrusts: C:N ratios in vascular plants are lower in drier environments due to elevated levels of N‐rich photosynthetic machinery relating to a trade‐off in water‐use regulation, while C:N ratios in biocrusts decline with aridity most likely due to carbon shortages relating to their inability to regular water loss (poikilohydry).

As global drylands become drier with climate change, our findings suggest that biocrust tissue carbon stocks will decline gradually until the point where carbon budgets become negative and standing biomass is no longer viable.

Published: August 2021

AbstractThe development of biodegradable packaging, based on agro‐industrial plant products and by‐products, can transform waste into products with high added value and reduce the use of conventional nonrenewable packaging. Green‐based active packaging has a variety of compounds such as antimicrobials, antioxidants, aromatics, among others. These compounds interact with packaged products to improve food quality and safety and favor the migration of bioactive compounds from the polymeric matrix to food. The interest in the potential hygienic–sanitary benefit of these packages has been intensified during the COVID‐19 pandemic, which made the population more aware of the relevant role of packaging for protection and conservation of food. It is estimated that the pandemic scenario expanded food packaging market due to shift in eating habits and an increase in online purchases. The triad health, sustainability, and circular economy is a trend in the development of packaging. It is necessary to minimize the consumption of natural resources, reduce the use of energy, avoid the generation of waste, and emphasize the creation of social and environmental values. These ideas underpin the transition from the emphasis on the more subjective discourse to the emphasis on the more practical method of thinking about the logic of production and use of sustainable packaging. Presently, we briefly review some trends and economic issues related to biodegradable materials for food packaging; the development and application of bio‐based active films; some opportunities beyond COVID‐19 for food packaging segment; and perspectives in circular economy.

Published: August 2021

AbstractAntrocaryon amazonicum fruits are unexploited sources of bioactive compounds found in the Amazonia region of Brazil. In this study, for the first time, the carotenoid and phenolic compound profiles of the pulp and peel of A. amazonicum fruits, from two varieties at two harvest periods, were determined by LC‐MS. Additionally, the potential of the peel and pulp extracts to scavenge physiologically relevant reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) was assessed. The major carotenoids in both parts of the fruits were lutein, accounting for ≈42% of the identified carotenoids in the peel and ≈25% in the pulp, whereas catechin and hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives were the major phenolics in both parts. The peel extract, which presented the highest bioactive compound contents, was more efficient to scavenge ROS than the pulp. The peel extract showed high scavenging efficiency (IC50) for singlet oxygen (1O2; 16 µg/ml), hypochlorous acid (HOCl; 20 µg/ml), peroxynitrite (ONOO–; 38 µg/ml), and superoxide radical (O2•–; 47 µg/ml), whereas the pulp extract exhibited high efficiency for ONOO– (13 µg/ml), followed by HOCl (30 µg/ml), ¹O2 (76 µg/ml), and less efficient for O2•– (44 µg/ml). Therefore, A. amazonicum fruits can be seen as an expressive source of bioactive compounds with high antioxidant potential to be further investigated to inhibit or delay oxidative processes both in food and physiological systems triggered by ROS and RNS.Practical ApplicationBioactive compound extracts of Antrocaryon amazonicum fruits have high potential to be exploited for inhibiting or delaying oxidative processes and increase food stability.
Functional beta diversity of New Zealand fishes: Characterising morphological turnover along depth and latitude gradients, with derivation of functional bioregions

Published: August 2021

AbstractChanges in the functional structures of communities are rarely examined along multiple large‐scale environmental gradients. Here, we describe patterns in functional beta diversity for New Zealand marine fishes versus depth and latitude, including broad‐scale delineation of functional bioregions. We derived eight functional traits related to food acquisition and locomotion and calculated complementary indices of functional beta diversity for 144 species of marine ray‐finned fishes occurring along large‐scale depth (50–1200 m) and latitudinal gradients (29°–51°S) in the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone. We focused on a suite of morphological traits calculated directly from in situ Baited Remote Underwater Stereo‐Video (stereo‐BRUV) footage and museum specimens. We found that functional changes were primarily structured by depth followed by latitude, and that latitudinal functional turnover decreased with increasing depth. Functional turnover among cells increased with increasing depth distance, but this relationship plateaued for greater depth distances (>750 m). In contrast, functional turnover did not change significantly with increasing latitudinal distance at 700–1200 m depths. Shallow functional bioregions (50–100 m) were distinct at different latitudes, whereas deeper bioregions extended across broad latitudinal ranges. Fishes in shallow depths had a body shape conducive to efficient propulsion, while fishes in deeper depths were more elongated, enabling slow, energy‐efficient locomotion, and had large eyes to enhance vision. Environmental filtering may be a primary driver of broad‐scale patterns of functional beta diversity in the deep sea. Greater environmental homogeneity may lead to greater functional homogeneity across latitudinal gradients at deeper depths (700–1200 m). We suggest that communities living at depth may follow a ‘functional village hypothesis’, whereby similar key functional niches in fish communities may be maintained over large spatial scales.
Oppressive Energopolitics in Africa’s Last Colony: Energy, Subjectivities, and Resistance
Authors: Allan Joanna , Lemaadel Mahmoud , Lakhal Hamza 
Published: August 2021

AbstractFocusing on energy developments and energy infrastructure in Moroccan‐occupied Western Sahara, this article engages with the politics of energy and energy citizenship in situations of conflict, authoritarianism and settler colonialism. We contribute to the body of research on how energy infrastructure, including renewable energy infrastructure, furthers (neo)colonial social and political power imbalances. Using Dominic Boyer’s concept of energopower, which allows us to explore how energy is used to govern populations and produce subjectivities, we argue that a colonial and oppressive energoregime will produce subjects hostile to itself. Putting colonised people’s lived experiences and perceptions of an oppressive energy system centre stage, we further research on the interrelationship between energy infrastructure, citizenship and identity by showing how an energoregime can inadvertently foster a rejection of certain citizenships and national identities in favour of others. Our data are generated using ethnography and semi‐structured interviews with Saharawis living in Moroccan‐occupied Western Sahara.

AbstractAimWhile infants with early‐onset sepsis require antibiotics, there is little evidence to support their routine use in asymptomatic infants exposed to maternal chorioamnionitis. We aimed to ascertain the incidence of culture‐proven sepsis in full‐term infants exposed to chorioamnionitis and to determine whether asymptomatic infants need routine antibiotic treatment.MethodsThis study was retrospective. Included were all full‐term infants admitted to our neonatal intensive care unit between 1 January 2017 and 31 May 2018 who were given intravenous antibiotics for maternal chorioamnionitis. After identifying eligible infants, relevant maternal and infant data were collected from our medical records and the Neonatal Intensive Care Units Database.ResultsWe selected 167 term infants from 7736 deliveries. The incidence of chorioamnionitis was 21 per 1000 deliveries. The mean gestational age was 39 weeks (range 37–41), and 57% infants were male. Asymptomatic infants (76%) received intravenous antibiotics for an average of 2 days compared to 4 days in the symptomatic group (24%), p < 0.001. No infant died or developed culture‐positive sepsis.ConclusionThe risk of early‐onset sepsis in well‐appearing term infants of mothers with chorioamnionitis is low. Further studies are mandatory to determine whether asymptomatic infants of mothers with clinical chorioamnionitis need antibiotic treatment.

AbstractQuestionsWe investigated the transfer of seeds from species‐rich grassland using green hay and seed material from on‐site threshing to answer the following questions: do these two methods differ in terms of restoration success; and how do the two methods behave in their long‐term effect concerning species composition and species presence?LocationStyria, Austria.MethodsWe harvested seed material of a species‐richArrhenatherionmeadow by green hay and on‐site threshing and transferred it to a receptor site. Transferable species were identified by vegetation survey and seed sample analyses. We analysed transfer rates and vegetation cover for the donor site species pool andArrhenatheriontarget species, covering a 10‐year observation period. Species composition and presence were derived from plant surveys.ResultsThe restoration success of both methods was similar within the observation period. Although donor site species declined, the establishment of target species was satisfactory and species‐rich grassland was successfully established, despite different site conditions between donor and receptor sites and strong dynamics in species composition over time.ConclusionsBoth harvesting methods are well suited for restoring species‐rich grassland, and the actual choice ultimately depends on the costs and the given circumstances. Even if donor and receptor site differ in their site conditions, species‐rich grassland can be established successfully. The prerequisite for this is that: (a) a high proportion of transferred species is able to establish; and (b) specific restoration goals do not exclude vegetation development according to specific receptor site conditions.
Tele‐mental health intervention for caregivers of children on home ventilation: A randomized control trial

Published: August 2021

AbstractAimThis study aims to evaluate a Tele‐P cognitive behavioural intervention (CBT) to promote the emotional functioning (i.e. reduce anxiety, depression and social isolation) and improve the quality of life (QoL) of caregivers of children who are ventilator dependent at home.BackgroundThere is an urgent need for support of parents with technology‐dependent children. Research shows that the parents of children whose chronic illness require assisted‐technology experience significant emotional stress, potential gaps in social isolation, and social isolation leading to lower quaility of life, unhealthy family functioning, and negative psychological consequences.ResultsParticipation in a Tele‐P intervention significantly reduced caregivers' anxiety, depression and fatigue, and reduction was sustained in a 4 week follow‐up period. There was no significant change in social isolation.ConclusionFindings demonstrate preliminary efficacy of an innovative Tele‐P intervention on outcomes of anxiety, depression and fatigue in an at‐risk group of caregivers. Although the intervention did not improve self‐reported social isolation, using technology in combination with established psychological support is an efficient way to better equip our mental health intervention systems to serve vulnerable populations.
