Published: October 2024

Purpose
This study aims to explore the emergence of workplace spirituality (WPS) in Indian organisations through a systematic literature review by unwrapping the past, present and future state of WPS research in the Indian context. The data was covered for 15 years (2008–2023) and spread across 116 studies screened from Scopus, Web of Science and EBSCO.

Design/methodology/approach
Theory-context-characteristics-methods (TCCM) framework analysis and topic modelling (bidirectional encoder representations from transformers [BERT] analysis) techniques were adopted for a systematic exploration of theoretical underpinnings, contextual relevance, characteristic features and methodological rigour within the domain of WPS and analysis of the literature’s emerging trends and thematic patterns, respectively.

Findings
Using the TCCM framework, this study analysed the dominant theories applied in WPS literature within the Indian context, including social exchange theory and self-determination theory. In addition, this review highlights the key industries, variables and methodologies that have been the focus of prior research. Using BERT, this study clustered the textual data and identified three thematic patterns in the literature. By analysing past and current studies, this study identified potential gaps that future research could address, as guided by the TCCM framework.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the initial literature reviews focused on country-level studies adopting two techniques to bring more rigour: TCCM and BERT analysis.

Published: October 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to develop a real-time pothole detection system to improve mapping, localization and path planning, reducing vehicle instability and accident risks. Efficient mapping, accurate localization and optimal path planning stand as prerequisites to realizing accident-free navigation. Despite their significance, existing literature often overlooks the real-time detection of potholes, which poses a considerable risk, particularly during nighttime operations. Potholes contribute to vehicle imbalance, trajectory tracking errors, abrupt braking, wheel skidding, jerking and steering overshoot, all of which can lead to accidents.

Design/methodology/approach
Unmanned vehicles constitute a critical domain within robotics research, necessitating reliable autonomous navigation for their optimal functioning. This research paper addresses the gap in current methodologies by leveraging a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based approach to detect potholes, facilitating the generation of an efficient environmental map. Furthermore, a hybrid solution is proposed, integrating an improved Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm with modified Bezier techniques, complementing the CNN approach for accident-free and time-efficient unmanned vehicle navigation. The conventional Bezier technique is enhanced by incorporating new control points near sharp turns, mitigating rapid trajectory convergence and ensuring collision-free paths.

Findings
The hybrid solution, combining CNN with path smoothing techniques, is rigorously tested in various real-time scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed technique achieves a 100% reduction in collisions in favorable conditions, a 4.5% decrease in path length, a 100% reduction in sharp turns and a significant 23.31% reduction in total time lag compared to state-of-the-art techniques such as conventional ACO, ACO+ Bezier and ACO+ midpoint Bezier, Improved ACO, hybrid ACO+ A*.

Originality/value
The proposed technique provides a proficient solution in the field of unmanned vehicles for accident-free time efficient navigation in an unstructured environment.

Published: October 2024

AbstractVolatile compounds in floral nectar may affect plant–pollinator relationships; however, the understanding of the distribution and functions of scented floral nectar is still relatively limited. In this study, we examined the volatile constituents of the scented floral nectar of the black lily Fritillaria camschatcensis and their potential to attract flower‐visiting flies. In Japan, F. camschatcensis comprises two varieties, var. camschatcensis (lowland) and var. keisukei (alpine). The flowers of both varieties secrete large amounts of nectar that is fed on by visiting flies. We investigated the sugar concentration of the nectar using high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and studied its volatile chemical composition using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. We conducted a bioassay using a synthetic mixture of nectar volatiles of the lowland variety to test whether flies are attracted to volatile compounds in the nectar scent. HPLC analysis showed that glucose and fructose occur in the nectar of the alpine variety, whereas the lowland variety nectar contained glucose but lacked fructose. Nectar volatile compounds differed substantially between the two varieties; the volatiles of the lowland variety consisted primarily of four aliphatic acids, whereas acetophenone was the main volatile compound in the alpine variety. The bioassay showed that a mixture of three aliphatic acids detected as volatiles of the lowland variety nectar attracts flies, including those that visit the alpine variety flowers such as Calliphoridae. These results suggest that the volatiles of the scented nectar serve as attractants for flower visitors and may have an important role in the pollination of F. camschatcensis.
On Institutions and Economic Policy: A Response to Michael Jacobs
Authors: Kelly Gavin 
Published: October 2024

AbstractIn his article ‘After neoliberalism: economic theory and policy in the polycrisis’ in this journal, Michael Jacobs sets out the importance of institutional context to politics and policy making. This article concurs with this emphasis and explores the importance of specific existing institutions such as the Low Pay Commission and Office for Budget Responsibility in our system of economic governance. It considers the case for institutional ‘deepening’ and reform as well as some potential misconceptions about the role of organisations like these in contemporary politics. Looking to the years ahead, it argues that the terrain on which politics is likely to be contested will involve a larger role for the state and continued debate about the appropriate role of institutions.
Positioning comfort measures in antenatal counselling for periviable infants
Authors: Carroll Katherine , Thorvilson Megan , Collura Christopher 
Published: October 2024

AbstractCaring for the extremely premature infant born in the grey zone of viability is the most difficult area of neonatal medicine. Little research has been done on antenatal communication between neonatologists and parents anticipating the birth of a periviable infant. This article analyses 25 antenatal consultations between neonatologists and parents in one Midwestern hospital in the United States of America. It explores how neonatologists position comfort care as one of two predominant care trajectories for extremely premature infants born into the grey zone of viability. We found comfort care featured minimally in and was often marginalised by neonatologists’ language. The two dominant discourses contributing to this were acute medicine’s life‐saving capacity and a limited temporal window marked by gestational age where comfort measures were deemed appropriate. Antenatal consultations framed by shared decision‐making could be approached as a form of care characterised by a relational openness and responsiveness to parents’ views on care. This asks neonatologists to enter antenatal consultations for periviability without knowing ahead of time which care trajectory will necessarily call one’s attention or the particular response one should take, thus highlighting the skills of reflexivity in addition to an attentiveness and openness towards those receiving care.
Leadership in a continuous crisis
Authors: Hällgren Markus , Buchanan David A. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractResearch has focused on episodic crises (e.g., fire extinguished), with regard to causality, management, and recovery. But some crises (e.g., illegal migration) are continuous, with no clear conclusion, and the nature and timing of the recovery phase are indeterminate. To explore the challenges facing leaders in a continuous crisis, we turn to ‘extreme fiction’ – a radically imaginative narrative of possible accidents, crises and disasters. The television series The Walking Dead is an example of a continuous crisis. This is also a novel crisis, which means that crisis management routines, protocols, and standard operating procedures may not apply, and the value of past experience may be limited. Our analysis offers a novel perspective on the nature of the crisis leadership role, by showing how a continuous crisis generates three paradoxical leadership agendas: managing the crisis (which includes unmanageable elements), managing conflict (while initiating and participating in conflict), and managing values (which may have to be temporarily abandoned). Our findings also demonstrate how contextual properties shape the leadership role in a continuous crisis.
Locked up and awaiting trial: Testing the criminogenic and punitive effects of spending a week or more in pretrial detention
Authors: DeMichele Matthew , Silver Ian A. , Labrecque Ryan M. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractResearch summaryThis study provides a rigorous assessment of the public safety benefits of pretrial detention by estimating the criminogenic and punitive effects of spending at least 1 week in pretrial detention across three jail systems in two states. We use a doubly robust difference‐in‐differences design to show that pretrial detention increases the odds for someone to miss a court appearance or be arrested by roughly 50% and increases the odds of convictions by 36%. This evidence was support by a series of supplemental analyses demonstrating that spending more than 1 day and spending more than 3 days in pretrial detention increased the odds of negative pretrial outcomes compared to someone who was booked and released from jail. The findings of this study provide evidence that pretrial detention can be counterproductive to public safety in that it leads to increased likelihood that individuals will miss court and be arrested for new crimes.Policy implicationsJails are a unique criminal justice contact point because they hold individuals at different stages of case processing, including individuals awaiting trial, and those serving shorter sentences or waiting to be transferred to prison. Pretrial release is arguably one of the most consequential decisions in case processing for an individual. Combining our findings with the punitive and collateral effects of time spent in pretrial detention signals a need for policies to identify effective methods of release that maximize liberty, safety, and equity and minimize the criminogenic effects of pretrial detention. Jails are inhabited with pretrial detainees, detention makes outcomes worse for these detainees, and detention does not deliver on public safety as intended. We argue that a more limited and targeted use of pretrial detention is needed and more research attention on alternatives to pretrial detention.
Policy coordination and development in a VUCA world
Authors: Mintrom Michael , O'Connor Ruby 
Published: October 2024

AbstractA growing bandwagon of commentators declare our collective existence is subject to volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. Welcome to the ‘VUCA world’. Since populations typically turn to governments for support when crises strike, there is merit in policy scholars paying close attention to the ‘VUCA world’ narrative. This article assesses the implications of the VUCA narrative for policy professionals charged with conducting policy coordination and development. If volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity are becoming more commonplace, what aspects of coordination and development work should change? We indicate how policy professionals might harness new technologies and integrate them with long‐term planning tools to help governments anticipate and reduce the consequences of crisis events. A lot of the technology now at our fingertips can be usefully deployed to assist with improved policy coordination and development to rapidly and effectively respond to VUCA‐like challenges. Further, more ‘stewardship’ capability in and around government must be built to enable exploration of future scenarios so societies can stand ready to address anticipated eventualities. We conclude that the VUCA narrative can promote salutary improvements in the practice of policy coordination and development.
System‐quake proof ‘systemic resilience governance’: Six measures for readiness
Authors: Bouckaert Geert , Galego Diego 
Published: October 2024

AbstractPublic administration has witnessed an avalanche of crises spanning financial, economic, health, environmental and governmental domains in the past two decades. Consequently, governments responded with volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) management strategies. Utilising these approaches to new types of systemic crisis which turned into systemic breakdowns, as system‐quakes, did not work sufficiently. This article presents the TODO framework—turbulent environments, oscillating knowledge quality, domino falling types of interdependence and opposing ‘solutions’—for understanding these contemporary systemic crisis patterns. Additionally, we propose six institutional reforms aiming at enhancing readiness, including (1) establishing a New Weberian State (NWS) to foster ‘systemic resilience governance’, (2) shifting sequential to simultaneous thinking, (3) embracing a Whole of Government (WoG)/Whole of Society (WoS) approach, (4) ensuring Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) implementation, (5) fostering institutional alignment and (6) promoting collaborative organisational leadership. These reforms aim to create a governance structure characterised by resilience and systemic responsiveness.
Discerning personhood through lena‐dena: Disability professionals, ethics, and communication
Authors: Vaidya Shruti , Friedner Michele 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThis article looks at practices of discernment in disability spaces in India by analyzing (hierarchical) relational contexts in which disability professionals and disabled people in India interact. We argue that discernment, which we explore through lena‐dena (giving and taking), allows us to analyze the ethical stakes of processes of communication, interpreting, and facilitation. Vaidya analyzes how special educators make broad discernments about intellectually disabled people by interpreting their unconventional and nonlinguistic communicative cues. In contrast, Friedner examines how speech and language therapists that work with deaf children make narrow discernments regarding what counts as language and perform the labor of training deaf children to communicate in the normatively correct way—that is, using speech. While disability professionals produce specific kinds of personhood for disabled people through their practices of discernment, they also end up discerning themselves in the process as professionals with difficult yet rewarding jobs. We conclude by discussing a program for individuals with intellectual disabilities where both authors conducted ethnographic research wherein disability professionals discerned disabled people as having social needs and desires on par with nondisabled people and created enabling environments, scaffolded activities, and facilitated conversations to produce and enable complex personhood for them.
Navigating economic policy uncertainty: The role of digital transformation in export product switching
Authors: Xu Xiaohui , Dong Ruizhen 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThis study explores two key objectives: examining the impact of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on export product switching and assessing the role of digital transformation in moderating this relationship. Analyzing data from Chinese A‐share listed enterprises between 2007 and 2016, we find that heightened EPU significantly accelerates export product switching, leading firms to reduce both the scope (number of products exported) and quantity of their exports. Digital transformation plays a crucial role in mitigating the adverse effects of EPU by enhancing information‐processing capabilities and reducing information asymmetry. This strategic shift encourages firms to focus on core products while reducing non‐core product exports. The moderating effect of digital transformation is particularly significant in state‐owned enterprises (SOEs) and firms with weak internal corporate governance. These findings underscore the critical role of digital transformation in helping firms navigate uncertain economic environments, offering valuable insights for policymakers and business leaders aiming to enhance export performance through digital innovation.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe purpose of this study was to compare the effects of two caregiving models on full‐term healthy infants' wakefulness, rooting and sucking reflexes, initiation of breastfeeding, and physiological parameters when reunited with their mothers after a mother–infant separation of 130 min after elective cesarean birth.MethodsNinety‐five mother–infant pairs participated in a randomized controlled trial, in which full‐term healthy infants were allocated to be either dressed in their mothers' arms (n = 56) or skin‐to‐skin with their mother (n = 39) when reunited with the mother within 130 min after cesarean birth. Data were collected by the Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) to assess the infants' wakefulness and prebreastfeeding behaviors. Physiological parameters were assessed at 15 min intervals, from 130 to 205 min after birth. Time to first breastfeed was measured in minutes from the reunion with the mother.ResultsThe primary finding was that physiologic parameters did not differ but time for initiation of breastfeeding after the reunion with the mother was significantly faster in the skin‐to‐skin group compared to the infants in the mothers' arms group (p = 0.005). Over the full study period, a more relaxed state and drowsy were found in the skin‐to‐skin group compared to the infants in the mothers' arms group.ConclusionHealthy full‐term infants born by elective cesarean, who were cared for by their mothers when reunited within 130 min of separation and cared for by their fathers during the mother–infant separation, initiated breastfeeding successfully and showed stable physiological patterns.

Published: October 2024

AbstractIntroductionTreatment for people with HIV‐1 and end‐stage kidney disease (ESKD) on haemodialysis (HD) has previously required complex dose‐adjusted regimens, with limited data on the use of a single‐tablet regimen in this population. Our aim was to assess the efficacy and safety of once‐daily bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of bictegravir (BIC) in adults with HIV‐1 and ESKD on HD.MethodsWe performed an open‐label extension (OLE) of an open‐label, multicentre, single‐group phase 3b study (NCT02600819) of adults with ESKD on HD and HIV‐1 with virological suppression. Participants switched to elvitegravir/cobicistat/F/TAF (E/C/F/TAF) 150/150/200/10 mg for 96 weeks, following which a subgroup of US participants entered an OLE phase in which they switched to B/F/TAF 50/200/25 mg for 48 weeks, returning for study visits at weeks 4 and 12, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Study assessments included virological response, safety and pharmacokinetic analysis of BIC.ResultsTen participants entered the OLE (median age, 55 years). Virological suppression (HIV‐1 RNA <50 copies/mL) was maintained in all participants over 48 weeks of B/F/TAF treatment. B/F/TAF was well tolerated, with no treatment discontinuations. Mean BIC trough concentrations were lower than those previously reported for people with HIV‐1 with normal kidney function, but remained four‐ to seven‐fold higher than the established protein‐adjusted 95% effective concentration against wild‐type HIV‐1.ConclusionThese findings support the use of the once‐daily B/F/TAF single‐tablet regimen for people with HIV‐1 and ESKD on HD. This regimen offers a convenient treatment option for this population as it reduces the need for dose adjustment, eases pill burden and avoids potential drug–drug interactions associated with alternatives that may impact individuals on multiple medications or awaiting transplantation.
Social Workers' Experiences of Working With Support Workers in Services for Adults With Intellectual Disabilities in Hong Kong
Authors: Xun Kangwei , Jiao Ruoshui , Deng Yunxue 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundServices for adults with intellectual disabilities in Hong Kong have a hierarchical staffing structure. Professional social workers, who performed as mid‐level employees, work with frontline support workers to deliver services to clients.MethodsThis qualitative study explored social workers' experiences of working with support workers through in‐depth interviews with 13 participants.FindingsThe study revealed that social workers perceived a significant variation between themselves and support workers in terms of working motivation, values and attitudes towards clients with intellectual disabilities. Despite the hierarchical relationships, social workers and support workers share the power of service decision‐making. Social workers used firm and gentle approaches to facilitate changes in practices to uphold service values. These findings were compared with Western literature on this topic, indicating similarities and differences.ConclusionThe organisations need to facilitate an effective collaboration between social workers and support workers to enhance the quality of services for adults with intellectual disabilities in Hong Kong.
