Published: November 2024

PurposePredictive maintenance (PdM) has attracted increasing attention in recent years owing to the emergence of advanced condition-monitoring technologies and data analytics tools. However, the application of PdM in spare parts inventory management across the supply chain (SC) has not been sufficiently investigated and its digital transformation (DT) requirements have not been adequately researched. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the organisational readiness for the use of integrated spare parts inventory management together with PdM systems across the SC.Design/methodology/approachA series of semi-structured interviews were designed and took place across organisations in various industries to address the pre-defined research aim. In total, 15 interviewees were recruited through purposive sampling, including managers and technicians in various organisations from different industries.FindingsThe findings reveal that while maintenance planning and optimisation has been the subject of extensive research for decades, manufacturers are still encountering barriers in adopting and implementing digital innovations. The experts also highlighted the need for an integrated information system (IS) enabling data sharing across the organisation since lack of integration has a vital impact on the overall business and operations performance as well as the successful DT of the enterprise. In addition, they report that the necessary and relevant data for implementing PdM is not captured or stored in their organisations.Originality/valueThe present study emphasises the technical, organisational, and environmental (TOE) dimensions that can affect such DT and sheds light on the enablers and inhibitors that organisations face in their efforts to be technologically ready to embrace the digital integration of PdM with spare part inventory management. It is recommended that a clear shift in management mindset and organisational culture is necessary for companies to realise the benefits of PdM and the DT that will result from its implementation.

Published: November 2024

PurposeThere is currently a lack of comprehensive examination in the research field exploring the relationship between digitalization and environmental performance (EP) in manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This study investigates the relationship between digital technologies, digital organizational culture (DOC), environmental dynamism and EP through the mediation of innovation capacity (IC) and moderation of perceived environmental volatility and green strategic intent (GSI).Design/methodology/approachThe data were gathered from 473 managers of manufacturing SMEs in Pakistan. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was applied to examine the mediation and moderation effects. Multiple regression analysis was used to see the influence of digital technologies, DOC, environmental dynamism, innovation capacity, perceived environmental volatility and GSI on SMEs environmental performance.FindingsResults indicate a statistically significant direct relationship between digital technologies, environmental dynamism and EP. While there is an insignificant direct relationship between DOC and EP. Furthermore, the results reported a significant result between digital technologies, DOC, environmental dynamism and IC. Similarly, IC significantly mediated the relationship between digital technologies, DOC, environmental dynamism and EP. Moreover, results reported that perceived environmental volatility does not moderate the relationship between IC and EP, while GSI significantly moderates between IC and EP.Practical implicationsPolicymakers must emphasize advancing digital integration to enhance manufacturing SMEs’ efficiency and environmental effectiveness.Originality/valueThis is the first research that incorporates digital technologies, environmental factors and innovation capacity to measure environmental performance in line of natural resource orchestration theory (natural ROT). All the variables significantly measure environmental performance instead of digital organizational culture. Perceived environmental volatility also does not moderate.
Implementation of a chatbot in a unified communication channel
Authors: Almeida Fernando 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This study aims to propose an architecture and presents the implementation of a unified chatbot that faces the challenges of heterogeneous communication channels. This approach enables the interaction with the chatbot to be carried out over multiple communication media on a single platform.

Design/methodology/approach
The chatbot was embedded in a unified communications framework. Furthermore, it has been developed and tested using the information and communications technology (ICT)Core platform. Three test scenarios have been considered in the context of a digital marketing company, which include the use of multiple channels such as text, audio and e-mail. Usability and empirical tests were performed to collect both qualitative and quantitative data.

Findings
The results indicate that the proposed model improves the completion rate and enables the chatbot to interact with the customer by capturing information over multiple channels. The findings also reveal that digital marketing organizations can use a unified chatbot in their marketing campaigns, which contributes to improving the quality of customer interaction, message personalization and continuous learning throughout the process.

Originality/value
While the use of a chatbot is a relatively common practice among companies, its integration into unified communications networks is an emerging topic. Proposals for integration into a unified communication channel have mainly focused on access to the same account and conversations from multiple devices or access platforms. This approach, while useful, does not allow for the integration of information from multiple sources. Alternatively, an integrated architecture is suggested in which a chatbot obtains knowledge from multiple sources and uses it to increase the quality of communication with the customer.

Authors: Alsabbagh Maha 
Published: November 2024

PurposeReducing CO2 emissions from transportation is crucial for achieving carbon neutrality in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries by 2060 or earlier. This study aimed at analyzing transportation-related energy consumption and CO2 emissions, along with their determinants and mitigation measures planned to achieve carbon neutrality in GCC countries.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the study objectives, the pressure-state-response (PSR) framework was utilized. Various methods were employed within the PSR framework, including econometric analysis using EViews, energy modeling using the low emissions analysis platform (LEAP) and content analysis of relevant policy and national documents using NVivo.FindingsThe results indicated that population and economic growth, along with increased fuel consumption, have led to a growth in transportation-related energy use and CO2 emissions in the GCC countries. Per capita transportation-related CO2 emissions in the GCC countries are higher than those of several countries. To achieve carbon-neutral transportation, approximately 1.8 bn metric tons of CO2 emissions need to be avoided by 2060 or earlier. Strategies related to fuel alternatives, vehicle technologies and mass transit have been planned to reduce transportation-related CO2 emissions in the GCC countries.Originality/valueThis study employed a holistic approach to analyze transportation-related energy use and CO2 emissions in the GCC countries. It provides several policy implications and highlights the urgent need for policy innovations to achieve transformative change in the transportation sectors of the GCC countries.

Published: November 2024

PurposeThe purpose of this research contribution is to examine the thermoelastic interactions in a fiber-reinforced thermoelastic medium under the action of initial stress and gravity in which, the conventional Fourier’s law is modified, introducing a thermal relaxation parameter in the GN-III model of generalized thermoelasticity.Design/methodology/approachThe work presented in this manuscript proposes a thermoelastic problem where the Moore–Gibson–Thompson equation is used to model the thermal law. The technique of normal mode is employed to derive the exact expressions of various physical fields under consideration.FindingsUnder the application of moving thermal load, normal displacement, temperature distribution and stress components are calculated numerically with the help of MATLAB software and then presented graphically to support the theoretical formulation.Originality/valueField variables are affected by initial stress, gravity, fiber reinforcement, velocity of thermal load and time duration, according to numerical simulations. Some particular cases of interest have also been inferred from the present problem.
Impact of algorithm-driven comments on corrective information among young adults: focusing on emotional tone of comments and misinformation credibility
Authors: Lee Jiyoung , Wang Ningyang Ocean , Britt Rebecca K. 
Published: November 2024

PurposeWhen facilitating transmission of health information from government officials to the public, social media employs algorithms that selectively expose users to specific perspectives, even for accurate health-related information from official sources. The purpose of this study was to explore impact of algorithm-driven comments characterized by different emotional tones (i.e. positive vs. negative vs. mixed) on users’ perceptions of credibility of corrective information to examine misinformation about flu vaccines aimed at young adults. Additionally, this study explored how prior misinformation credibility acted as an intervening variable in shaping the impact of algorithmically generated comments with diverse emotional tones on credibility of corrective information, with algorithm credibility serving as a mediator.Design/methodology/approachAn online experiment was conducted with 275 participants recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Young adults from the USA aged between 18 and 35 years who were also users of Instagram were eligible for participating in this study as this study utilized Instagram platform for stimuli.FindingsResults highlighted a diminished impact of algorithm-generated negative comments on perceived credibility of corrective information. Additionally, individuals with high misinformation credibility demonstrated a stronger tendency to trust algorithms featuring negative comments, underscoring the significant impact of algorithm-driven negativity in shaping trust dynamics for this group. Notably, credibility of the algorithm among individuals with high misinformation credibility did not translate into increased credibility for corrective information. This suggests that strategically designing algorithms to emphasize supportive or diverse opinions can be an effective approach to alleviate potential negative consequences associated with accurate information.Originality/valueThis research signifies the initial effort to disentangle the dynamics between negativity bias and cue routes within the algorithmic framework, shaping individuals’ perceptions of credibility of accurate health-related information contingent on accompanying comments. In the context of social media platforms that embrace diverse opinions, it emphasizes the critical necessity for tailored algorithmic strategies to effectively deliver accurate information.

Characterizing uninsured population in Mexico: a multinomial analysis
Authors: González-Nuñez José , Domínguez Salomón , Zimmermann Karl J. 
Published: November 2024

PurposeThis research highlights the importance of understanding the characteristics of the uninsured population in Mexico, as it is closely related to economic growth. Those characteristics that are not economic but behavioral are especially important to incentivize insurance purchases in the population with sufficient resources.Design/methodology/approachConsidering the main reason for not having insurance, this research classifies the Mexican adult population into four categories using a multinomial logit model and the National Survey of Financial Inclusion (2021).FindingsThe adult Mexican population can be divided into four categories: No money, Not aware or does not trust, No need, Other; this division allows comparisons between categories at 95% confidential level. The statistically significant variables were Mobile phone-ownership, Education level, Age, Financial behavior and Locality, while the variables, Financial literacy and Gender, were not. The variables that strongly characterize the uninsured population with sufficient resources (42.1%) are associated with economic factors (mobile phone ownership) and people’s behavior (Education level, Age, Financial behavior and Locality). This presents an excellent opportunity for policymakers to develop public policies encouraging insurance purchases.Originality/valueVarious empirical studies have focused on determining the economic, demographic and institutional factors that determine insurance tenure. Still, no empirical evidence has been found to characterize the uninsured population. This study aims to help policymakers develop public policy for the uninsured population to encourage them to purchase insurance. This research contributes to empirical theory in three ways: First, it identifies a large market in Mexico; the uninsured population in this country is about 80%. Second, it segments the adult population into categories to analyze better. Third, the characteristics of the population that has sufficient resources to take out insurance but has none can be found.

Authors: Kozik Ariangela J. , Hagan Ada K. , Jadavji Nafisa M. , Smith Christopher T. , Haage Amanda 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to identify the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the academic job market in North America and the ways in which faculty job applicants altered their applications in response to a changing academia.

Design/methodology/approach
The data presented here is the portion relevant to COVID-19 collected in a survey of faculty job applicants at the end of the 2019–2020 job cycle in North America (spring 2020). An additional “mid-pandemic” survey was used in fall 2020 for applicants participating in the following job search cycle to inquire about how they were adapting their application materials. A portion of data from the 2020–2022 job cycle surveys was used to represent the “late pandemic.” Job posting data from the Higher Education Recruitment Consortium is also used to study job availability.

Findings
Examination of faculty job postings from 2018 to 2022 found that while they decreased in 2020, the market recovered in 2021 and beyond. While the market recovered, approximately 10% of the faculty job offers reported by 2019–2020 survey respondents were rescinded. Respondents also reported altering their application documents in response to the pandemic as well as delaying or even abandoning their faculty job search.

Originality/value
This paper provides a longitudinal perspective with quantitative data on how the academic job market changed through the major events of the COVID-19 pandemic in North America, a subject of intense discussion and stress, particularly amongst early career researchers.

Authors: Zeng Qin , Lu Wenmin , Ye Ying , Li Ming , Ge Hongsong , Cao Qiaoyu , He Wei , Zhang Cheng , Song Wei 
Published: November 2024

AbstractCapillary malformation‐arteriovenous malformation (CM‐AVM) is a genetic condition predominantly attributed to variations in the RASA1 or EPHB4 genes. We identified three genetic variations: a variation in the RASA1 (c.2603+1G>A) and two novel variations in the EPHB4 (c.53‐2A>G and c.2222T>C), expanding the spectrum of variants associated with CM‐AVM. Additionally, we found that the presence of EPHB4 variations in these two families, alongside a documented history of Bier spots, highlights the impact of genetic factors on disease phenotype. We also conducted 595 nm pulsed dye laser therapy on the proband 2, and observed that facial telangiectasia was significantly reduced after the laser treatment. We aim to enhance the understanding of the disease through case studies of three families.
