Exploring the differential impact of work passion on life satisfaction and job performance via the work–family interface
Authors: Chummar Sheryl , Singh Parbudyal , Ezzedeen Souha R. 
Published: June 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of work passion on life satisfaction and job performance through a work–life conflict path and a work–life enrichment path. The authors also consider individual and contextual factors under which these relationships are affected. Implications for researchers and HR practitioners are highlighted.

Design/methodology/approach
The conceptual paper draws mainly on conservation of resources theory to explore the differential impact of work passion on the work–life interface and, consequently, on life satisfaction and job performance.

Findings
The authors theorize how two types of passion – harmonious and obsessive – relate to both work–family conflict and work–family enrichment. Given the emphasis on resources in these relationships, the authors also consider the moderating effects of psychological detachment and a supportive work–family organizational culture. Finally, the authors demonstrate the significant impact of studying the passion/work–family relationship by illustrating its effects on two important outcomes for individuals and organizations, namely life satisfaction and job performance.

Originality/value
Although the study of work passion is gaining attention from management scholars, little research has examined its influence on job performance and the work–life interface. This paper advances the authors’ knowledge in these areas. Furthermore, the authors argue the importance of considering both the individual and organizational contexts wherein the experience of work passion plays out.
Antecedents of union member retention in Right-to-Work environments
Authors: Martin James E. , Laulié Lyonel , Lelchook Ariel M. 
Published: June 2019

PurposeStates with Right-to-Work (RTW) law coverage have increased since 2012, with union membership decreasing. In such states, employees in union-represented positions cannot be required to be union members and/or pay dues, even though the union must still legally represent them. While union member retention in RTW states provides new challenges for unions, it has not been extensively studied. The purpose of this paper is to extend the literature by testing a model of intent to remain a union member in an RTW context using union loyalty as a mediator.Design/methodology/approachThe model is based on how different types of exchanges shape intentions to remain a union member. To test the hypotheses, a sample of 475 members was used where an RTW law was about to be implemented in a Midwestern American state.FindingsUnion loyalty mediated the relationships between social and ideological exchanges with the union and employee intent to remain a union member and similarly mediated the organization–employee exchanges. Economic exchanges with the union were not a significant predictor in the full model.Research limitations/implicationsThis study extends the employment-relations literature by helping us better understand member intent triggered by RTW laws. Insights are provided for both unions and organizations to better manage their relationships with employees.Originality/valueThis study advanced the employee-relations literature by providing a more holistic theoretically based understanding of how unions may retain members by using multiple forms of exchange, often studied separately in previous literature of member–union relationships.
Exploring the nexus between integrated reporting and sustainability embeddedness
Authors: Le Roux Catherine , Pretorius Marius 
Published: June 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the nexus between integrated reporting and sustainability embeddedness. It seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the nexus by obtaining in-depth insight from the sensemaking of those in practice.

Design/methodology/approach
A single exploratory case study design strategy was applied to a leading stock exchange listed company in the property industry in South Africa. Rich qualitative data were gathered by applying multiple data gathering techniques to a diverse group of employees within the case company.

Findings
This empirical study contributes a metaphor of a cog and chain and nine themes that elucidate employee sensemaking at the nexus. Integrated reporting was found to drive sustainability embeddedness and foster changes within the organisation. The themes offer in-depth insight into how employees made sense of integrated reporting as a driver for sustainability embeddedness.

Research limitations/implications
The findings emerged from a single case study that operated in a mandatory disclosure context and are therefore not generalisable. The findings reflect the intended outcomes of integrated reporting and further research to explore the unintended outcomes and challenges associated with integrated reporting is suggested.

Practical implications
The study contributes to a growing practice based agenda by offering a better understanding of how integrated reporting and sustainability are conceptualised and adopted in practice.

Social implications
The findings offer organisations’ guidance on integrated reporting and sustainability embeddedness adoption which can have vast implications for society and the environment.

Originality/value
The study responds to gaps in the literature and calls for studies to explore the intersection between integrated reporting and sustainability embeddedness by engaging those in practice.
Case of low‐grade neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin presenting metastases to lymph nodes and peritoneum

Published: June 2019

AbstractA 61‐year‐old Japanese man had a gradually growing, red‐colored nodule in his umbilicus from 3 years ago. He had no symptoms such as hot flush, diarrhea or wheezing. Computed tomography detected a 3.0 cm × 3.0 cm enhanced nodule on the umbilical portion, inguinal and axillary lymph node swelling, and peritoneal nodules. Upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy and cystoscopy did not show any other tumor. We resected the umbilical nodule and subjected the inguinal lymph node and peritoneal nodule to biopsy. Histopathological findings indicated that the cutaneous lesion was composed of variously sized nests that included small, monomorphic, round to polygonal cells, mainly in the dermis to the peritoneum. Mitotic figures were scant. The inguinal lymph node and peritoneal nodule were positive for metastasis. Immunohistochemistry was diffusely positive for cytokeratin (CK)‐7, CD56, chromogranin A, synaptophysin, estrogen receptor‐α, progesterone receptor, GATA3 and carcinoembryonic antigen, and focally positive for mammaglobin and gross cystic disease fluid protein 15. The Ki‐67 labeling index was 1.5%. The patient was diagnosed with a case of low‐grade neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin (LGNECS) occurring on the umbilicus. This case exhibited distant peritoneal metastasis, as well as inguinal and axillary lymph node metastases; however, the patient is alive without chemotherapy at 23 months after the first visit. LGNECS is a newly proposed, extremely rare entity that has been reported under various names, including primary cutaneous carcinoid tumor. In the present case, this tumor shows a slow‐growing nature and favorable prognosis, even though it harbors metastatic potential.
Parental effects of male alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) on ARTs of haploid sons
Authors: Schausberger Peter , Sato Yukie 
Published: June 2019

Abstract

Alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) represent distinct behavioural phenotypes to maximize reproductive success within the same sex, primarily males, and may be genetically and/or conditionally determined. Across animals, intragenerational determinants of conditional ARTs are relatively well understood but transgenerational (non‐genetic) effects of parental ARTs on filial ARTs are largely unknown.

Here, we assessed parental effects of conditional male ARTs on sons' ARTs in arrhenotokous spider mites Tetranychus urticae. Arrhenotoky, that is, males arising from unfertilized and females from fertilized eggs, sets the stage for sexual and transgenerational conflicts between male mates and females and their sons. Male ARTs of T. urticae are dichotomous, fighting and sneaking, and apparent in male–male combat and pre‐copulatory guarding behaviour. Due to haplodiploidy, male ARTs can only exert non‐genetic effects on sons of their mates.

We hypothesized that parental ART effects are likely to occur in T. urticae because maternal ART mating status (unmated, sneaker‐ or fighter‐mated) is indicative of the offspring' social environment and ART flexibility rather prevails in younger than older males.

Fighter‐mated mothers produced more offspring than unmated mothers and had a more daughter‐biased offspring sex ratio than unmated and sneaker‐mated mothers. Sons of fighter‐mated mothers were more likely to guard and did so earlier than sons of unmated and sneaker‐mated mothers. Unmated and sneaker‐mated, but not fighter‐mated, mothers produced sneaker sons that were quicker to start guarding than were fighter sons.

Proximately, parental ART effects on sons' ARTs were most likely mediated by differences in seminal fluids. Ultimately, observed alterations of sons' ARTs represent adaptive maternal responses to ART phenotypes rather than manipulation by male mates.

Fighter‐mated mothers tuned filial ARTs to male‐competitive environments whereas unmated and sneaker‐mated mothers tuned them to benign environments. Observed alterations in reproductive traits of fighter‐mated mothers suggest adaptive manipulation by the fighter phenotype or aligned male and female interests.

Overall, our study documents previously unknown transgenerational ART effects on haploid sons' ARTs.

Migratory strategy explains differences in timing of female reproductive development in seasonally sympatric songbirds
Authors: Kimmitt Abigail A. , Hardman Jack W. , Stricker Craig A. , Ketterson Ellen D. 
Published: June 2019

Abstract

Divergent migratory strategies among populations can result in population‐level differences in timing of reproduction (allochrony) and local adaptation. However, the mechanisms underlying among‐population variation in timing are insufficiently understood, particularly in females.

We studied differences in reproductive development and its related mechanisms along the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis (HPG) in closely related migratory and sedentary (i.e. resident) female dark‐eyed juncos (Junco hyemalis) living together in sympatry during early spring. Despite exposure to the same environmental cues in early spring, residents initiate breeding prior to the departure of migrants for their breeding grounds. We investigated whether residents would be more reproductively developed than migrants based on their behavioural differences. Alternatively, females could exhibit similar reproductive development in response to the same environmental cues despite differences in migratory behaviour. To compare their degree of reproductive development during seasonal sympatry and the underlying mechanisms of these differences, we collected ovarian and liver tissue in early spring prior to migration and compared transcript abundance of genes associated with reproduction using quantitative PCR. We also used stable hydrogen isotopes to infer relative breeding and wintering latitude of migrants.

We found higher transcript abundance of luteinizing hormone receptor and aromatase in the ovary in addition to significantly heavier ovaries in residents than in migrants. Together, these results suggest greater sensitivity and response to upstream endocrine stimulation in resident females. Transcript abundance for other receptors in the ovary and liver associated with reproduction, however, did not differ between populations. When comparing ovarian development within migrants, females with lower hydrogen isotopes (indicating higher breeding latitudes) had smaller ovaries, suggesting that longer‐distance migrations may further delay reproductive development.

Based on differences in ovary mass and transcript abundance, we conclude that females that differ in migratory strategy also differ in timing of reproductive development. These results support that divergent migratory behaviour drives allochrony and could enable reproductive isolation between populations; mechanistic differences at the level of gonadal stimulation can explain these differences in timing of reproductive development.

Manipulating saltmarsh microtopography modulates the effects of elevation on sediment redox potential and halophyte distribution
Authors: Mossman Hannah L. , Grant Alastair , Davy Anthony J. 
Published: June 2019

Abstract

Halophyte distributions on saltmarshes are strongly related to elevation in the tidal frame. However, collinearity between elevation, the consequent inundation regime, and sediment waterlogging/redox potential obscures the proximate causes of distribution patterns. We sought to distinguish the effects of elevation per se from those of waterlogging by manipulating microtopography.

We experimentally manipulated elevation by ±15 cm at locations that spanned the elevation ranges of three saltmarshes recently reactivated by managed coastal realignment. Experimental plots were initially cleared of any vegetation. Elevation and sediment redox potential were determined for each plot. We planted five perennial species (Armeria maritima, Atriplex portulacoides, Limonium vulgare, Plantago maritima and Triglochin maritima) in half of the plots, recording survival over 4 years, and monitored natural colonization of the other plots.

Overall, redox potential increased with elevation. Sediments were more oxidizing in raised plots and more reducing in lowered plots. Redox reductions in lowered plots were in line with those that would be predicted from the overall redox/elevation relationship, but increases in raised plots were greater than predicted from elevation alone.

Plant colonization and survival was poorer in lowered plots and, for most species, improved in raised plots. This poorer colonization and survival can, in part, be attributed to the concomitant alterations in redox potential and elevation in the tidal frame, but microtopographic manipulation also had substantial independent effects on plant performance, including on the survival of all planted species and the colonization of Puccinellia maritima, Salicornia europaea agg. and Tripolium pannonicum.

Synthesis. Microtopography can have effects on sediment chemistry and plant performance similar in magnitude to those of overall tidal elevation. Understanding how its effects modulate the relationship between tidal elevation, redox and other environmental conditions helps clarify the abiotic factors that fundamentally determine halophyte colonization and survival. These results support the use of topographic manipulation to enhance the diversity of created saltmarshes.
SPNS2 promotes the malignancy of colorectal cancer cells via regulating Akt and ERK pathway

Published: June 2019

AbstractColorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent malignant tumour that causes considerable cancer‐related deaths globally. The sphingolipid transporter 2 (SPNS2), a sphingosine‐1‐phosphate (S1P) transporter, modulates multiple biological events including malignancy of cancer cells. In this study, the effects of SPNS2 on CRC progression were studied. We found that SPNS2 expression was significantly upregulated in CRC tissues compared to that in adjacent non‐tumour tissues. To assess the role of SPNS2 in CRC cells, we performed loss‐ and gain‐of‐function experiments in SW480 and HCT116 cells, respectively. The results demonstrated that SPNS2 promoted proliferation, migration and invasion, and inhibited apoptosis in CRC cells. Additionally, SPNS2 enhanced the release of intracellular S1P, and increased S1P receptor 1 (S1PR1) and S1PR3 expression. Moreover, SPNS2 activated the Akt and ERK pathways, and the biological behaviours of SPNS2 were attenuated by Akt or ERK inhibitor in HCT116 cells. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that SPNS2 promoted proliferation, migration and invasion, and inhibited apoptosis by regulating S1P/S1PR1/3 axis and activating Akt and ERK pathway in CRC cells.
Species interactions and distinct microbial communities in high Arctic permafrost affected cryosols are associated with the CH4 and CO2 gas fluxes

Published: June 2019

SummaryMicrobial metabolism of the thawing organic carbon stores in permafrost results in a positive feedback loop of greenhouse gas emissions. CO2 and CH4 fluxes and the associated microbial communities in Arctic cryosols are important in predicting future warming potential of the Arctic. We demonstrate that topography had an impact on CH4 and CO2 flux at a high Arctic ice‐wedge polygon terrain site, with higher CO2 emissions and lower CH4 uptake at troughs compared to polygon interior soils. The pmoA sequencing suggested that USCα cluster of uncultured methanotrophs is likely responsible for observed methane sink. Community profiling revealed distinct assemblages across the terrain at different depths. Deeper soils contained higher abundances of Verrucomicrobia and Gemmatimonadetes, whereas the polygon interior had higher Acidobacteria and lower Betaproteobacteria and Deltaproteobacteria abundances. Genome sequencing of isolates from the terrain revealed presence of carbon cycling genes including ones involved in serine and ribulose monophosphate pathways. A novel hybrid network analysis identified key members that had positive and negative impacts on other species. Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) with numerous positive interactions corresponded to Proteobacteria, Candidatus Rokubacteria and Actinobacteria phyla, while Verrucomicrobia and Acidobacteria members had negative impacts on other species. Results indicate that topography and microbial interactions impact community composition.
Learning from NHS Inquiries: Comparing the Recommendations of the Ely, Bristol and Mid Staffordshire Inquiries
Authors: Powell Martin 
Published: June 2019

AbstractIf one of the key reasons for an inquiry is to learn lessons and prevent similar events from reoccurring, recommendations must be implementable and implemented, but it is clear that lessons have not been learned and recommendations not implemented. This paper compares the ‘implementability’ of recommendations from the three inquiries of Ely, Bristol and Mid Staffordshire to stress the importance of learning lessons. It examines two broad issues of ‘who?’ and ‘what?’. First, some 80 per cent of the Ely recommendations were aimed at the institution, while 72 per cent of the Bristol and Mid Staffordshire recommendations were aimed at the system. Moreover, about 7 per cent of Ely's forty‐four recommendations have a clearly identified agent, compared to 15 per cent at Bristol and 41 per cent at Mid Staffordshire. Second, the policy tool of ‘sermons’ accounts for some 89 per cent of Ely recommendations, compared to 66 per cent at Bristol and 63 per cent at Mid Staffordshire. However, the earlier sermons did not appear to prevent the events at Mid Staffordshire occurring. Pulling these issues together, it can be suggested that, given the large number of potentially responsible agencies, recommendations should be ‘active’ with a clearly identified agent and that a clear policy tool or mechanism should be identified rather than rely on a vague tendency to sermonise.
A domains‐based approach to meeting social, emotional and mental health needs
Authors: O’Brien Tim , Roberts Amelia 
Published: June 2019

AbstractThis article focuses on seven interacting research‐informed domains. These domains are grounded in the research literature and have been applied in real world contexts to provide insight into, and an analytical tool for, meeting social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs within educational settings. Practitioner researchers applied the domains in a ten‐month knowledge‐exchange programme known as SWERL. Each domain is described in relation to the lived experience of teachers, pupils and schools. The article closes with a case study of how a primary school changed SEMH provision in the areas of ‘planning transitions’ and ‘building relationships’ and illuminates the benefits for children, staff and school culture.

These data can be used to better understand the impact of these laws.
Review article: Let us talk about snakebite management: A discussion on many levels
Authors: Turner Damian , Winter Suzanne , Winkel Kenneth , MacIsaac Christopher , Padula Andrew , Braitberg George 
Published: June 2019

AbstractWe want to discuss antivenom use in snakebite clinical practice guidelines. Coronial reviews in Victoria of two cases of snakebite envenomation, one described in detail below, prompted us to submit this paper for a wider audience and debate. Venom and antivenom levels were measured in the case detailed below, but not in the other. The coroner received conflicting and varied advice from experts regarding the dose of antivenom. The Victorian Department of Health and Human Services and the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine were instructed to review snakebite management guidelines, particularly with respect to antivenom dosage. The discussion that took place among medical experts led to considerable media attention. We discuss the potential fallout when there is no consensus among medical experts.
