Authors: Rabenu Edna , Baruch Yehuda 
Published: October 2024

PurposeHuman Resource Management (HRM) is a critical organizational function, which has continued to evolve. We aim to explore how different HRM will be in the workplace of the future and why, from both strategic and practical perspectives. We present and discuss core HRM practices, such as recruitment, selection and training, as well as peripheral activities, such as monitoring health and safety, and diversity management, reflecting on how they may transform in the workplace of the future.Design/methodology/approachThis is a conceptual thought piece, building on the Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition (SAMR) model, to offer a futuristic view of HRM in the era of AI.FindingsDiscussing the contemporary challenges of Artificial Intelligence, which we predict will lead to what we term Cyborging HRM.Practical implicationsThis study can help HR managers and practitioners to be prepared for AI-embedded HRM systems in the future. For academics, it offers an innovative framework to establish future writing on HRM in the AI era.Originality/valueAI is pushing HRM and the profession will have to undergo a revolutionary rather than evolutionary transformation in order to remain a necessary and valuable function for organizations. Our elaboration of the SAMR model and suggested implications for the future transformation of HRM should be worthwhile to organizations, management and the wider society.

Authors: Pal Tapabrata , Ganguly Kunal , Chaudhuri Atanu 
Published: October 2024

Purpose
Building resilience in food supply chains is considered vital to tackle disruptions and ensure the availability of food. This study aims to empirically explore how firms operating in food supply chains can develop dynamic capabilities and use digital technologies to address disruption.

Design/methodology/approach
A multiple case study methodology was adopted to understand how the firms built resilience by developing dynamic capabilities. Twenty-five semi-structured interviews were conducted with four case companies to gather data across various functional areas (sourcing, operations and logistics).

Findings
Results show that knowledge management is a key antecedent to developing dynamic capabilities. The development of such dynamic capabilities − sensing, seizing and transforming, along with the adoption of digital technologies enabled firms to address the disruptions and, hence, build resilience. Resilience is demonstrated in the form of maintaining or improving performance outcomes such as profit, waste reduction, food quality, lead time, efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Originality/value
This is one of the earliest empirical studies that provide insights into how firms operating in food supply chains have built resilience by developing dynamic capabilities through knowledge management practices and, which required the implementation of digital technologies. The study extends dynamic capability theory with the knowledge-based view and develops a novel framework along with a pathway to build resilience.

Published: October 2024

Purpose
This study aims to present an innovative approach to detect and monitor ethylene gas during fruit ripening.

Design/methodology/approach
It uses a specialized composite membrane in conjunction with a solid-state electrochemical method. This unique electroactive membrane, composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), chitosan (CHT), lithium chloride (LiCl) and ammonium molybdate (AMO), exhibits synergistic behavior when applied to a microelectrode chip surface. This composite enhances the sensitivity of electrochemical ethylene detection. Empirical experiments were conducted to elucidate the ripening kinetics in various fruit specimens, including apples, pears and mangoes. These fruits released ethylene, which was analyzed using the molybdenum-permeated electroactive biopolymer composite membrane, a critical determinant of ethylene levels.

Findings
Characterization of the synthesized composite through techniques such as X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy revealed reduced crystallinity and decreased hydrogen bond interactions upon activation with Mo ions. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images exhibited a distinctive porous surface morphology with spherical microgranules. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis indicated a significant change in the mass or atomic composition of Mo in the composite membrane after Mo ion activation. Electrochemical measurements, including cyclic voltammetry and potentiostatic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, validated the efficiency of the Mo-activated PVA-CHT-LiCl-AMO membrane, manifesting an impressive 87.79% increase in sensitivity compared to the nonactivated membrane.

Practical implications
This research work represents a significant advancement in the field of ethylene detection and fruit ripening monitoring. The Mo-activated PVA-CHT-LiCl-AMO membrane offers a reliable and effective solution for real-time ethylene detection, providing an invaluable tool for the horticultural industry to optimize fruit ripening processes, extend shelf life and ensure the delivery of high-quality produce to consumers.

Social implications
The findings of this study hold great promise for fostering sustainability and efficiency within the global fruit supply chain, ultimately benefiting both producers and consumers alike.

Originality/value
The implications of this research extend to the fabrication of a sensor based on a solid-state electroactive PVA-CHT-LiCl-AMO composite membrane, which upon Mo-activation exhibits robust electrochemical fruit ethylene detection when exposed to different fruits.

AbstractBackgroundIn recent years, the prevalence and mortality rates of diabetes have been rising continuously, posing a significant threat to public health and placing a heavy burden on the population. This study was conducted to describe and analyze the burden of diabetes in China from 1990 to 2021 and its attributable risk factors.MethodsUtilizing data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, we analyzed the incidence, prevalence, and disability‐adjusted life years (DALYs) of type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in China from 1990 to 2021. We extracted sex‐ and age‐specific data on diabetes, focusing on DALYs, years lived with disability, and years of life lost. Bayesian meta‐regression and spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression were used to estimate disease parameters. Age‐standardized rates (ASRs) and estimated annual percentage changes (EAPC) were calculated using direct standardization and log‐linear regression. The population‐attributable fractions were also determined for each risk factor.ResultsIn 2021, the absolute number of incident diabetes mellitus (DM) cases was estimated at 4003543.82, including 32 000 T1DM and 3971486.24 T2DM cases. The ASRs were 244.57 for DM, 2.67 for T1DM, and 241.9 for T2DM (per 100 000 population). The absolute number of prevalent DM cases was 117288553.93, including 1442775.09 T1DM and 115845778.84 T2DM cases. The ASRs were 6142.29 for DM, 86.78 for T1DM, and 6055.51 for T2DM (per 100 000 population). In 2021, there were 178475.73 deaths caused by DM, with an ASR of mortality of 8.98 per 100 000 population. The DALYs due to DM in 2021 were 11713613.86, with an ASR of 585.43 per 100 000 population and an EAPC of 0.57. This increase can be attributed to several factors, including high body mass index, air pollution, and dietary habits.ConclusionsThe burden of diabetes is considerable, with high prevalence and incidence rates, highlighting the urgent need for public health interventions. Addressing factors like high fasting plasma glucose, body mass index, air pollution, and dietary risks through effective interventions is critical.image
Governance and policy implications of the Inflation Reduction Act: A European perspective
Authors: Suárez‐Cuesta David , Latorre Maria C. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThis paper examines the US 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) alongside the EU's Net‐Zero Industry Act (NZIA) and Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) of 2023. We analyze their differential approaches to accelerating investment in clean technology, enhancing energy security and fortifying supply chains. Both regions share the objective of diminishing reliance on Chinese dominance in clean industries. The US seeks to stimulate private investment primarily via uncapped tax credits from 2022 to 2031, some of them subject to stringent domestic content requirements. The EU has reacted to the potential violation of World Trade Organization's rules and a possible green investment shift to the US In doing so, the EU is relying heavily on a regulatory strategy, with emphasis on the simplification of procedures. However, the EU's public funding model is vague and leaves details to the discretion of member states, risking fragmentation within the single market. Through the application of a dynamic computable general equilibrium model, we show that a 50% increase in demand for the IRA's uncapped tax credits could nearly triple US GDP outcomes by 2027. We highlight the contrast between the IRA's immediate fiscal incentives and the NZIA's regulatory approach, emphasising that the former are more attractive for firms.

AbstractCellular senescence is an established cause of cell and tissue aging. Senescent cells have been shown to increase in multiple organs during aging, including the skin. Here we hypothesized that senescent cells residing in the skin can spread senescence to distant organs, thereby accelerating systemic aging processes. To explore this hypothesis, we initially observed an increase in several markers of senescence in the skin of aging mice. Subsequently, we conducted experiments wherein senescent fibroblasts were transplanted into the dermis of young mice and assessed various age‐associated parameters. Our findings reveal that the presence of senescent cells in the dermal layer of young mice leads to increased senescence in both proximal and distal host tissues, alongside increased frailty, and impaired musculoskeletal function. Additionally, there was a significant decline in cognitive function, concomitant with increased expression of senescence‐associated markers within the hippocampus brain area. These results support the concept that the accumulation of senescent cells in the skin can exert remote effects on other organs including the brain, potentially explaining links between skin and brain disorders and diseases and, contributing to physical and cognitive decline associated with aging.

Published: October 2024

AbstractBackground and AimsStudies show that higher levels of positive affect (PA) and lower levels of negative affect (NA) are related to craving and alcohol consumption at a daily level in men, but little is known on these associations at a momentary level, and whether they are present in women. This study measured the dynamics of within‐person NA and PA surrounding craving, non‐heavy alcohol use and binge drinking in women with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and female controls without AUD.Methods53 female patients with AUD and 75 female controls, all recruited in Belgium, were included in an experience sampling study where they reported on momentary NA, PA, craving and alcohol use in daily life over a period of 12 months. Assessments occurred eight times a day on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays in seven bursts of three weeks.ResultsWithin‐person NA at a previous assessment (t−1) predicted craving at the current assessment (t0) in patients with AUD in a positive linear [β = 0.043; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.002, 0.057; P = 0.041] and quadratic fashion (β = 0.034; CI = 0.011, 0.057; P = 0.004). Within‐person PA at t−1 predicted craving at t0 in patients with AUD with a positive quadratic relation (β = 0.042; CI = 0.08, 0.065; P < 0.001). Within‐person NA at t−1 negatively predicted non‐heavy alcohol use at t0 in a linear fashion in controls (β = −0.495; CI = ‐0.677, ‐0.312; P < 0.001) and patients with AUD (β = −0.276; CI = ‐0.421, ‐0.132; P < 0.001). Within‐person PA at t−1 significantly predicted non‐heavy alcohol use at t0 with a positive linear term (β = 0.470; CI = 0.329, 0.610; P < 0.001) in controls, but with a positive linear term (β = 0.399; CI = 0.260, 0.454; P < 0.001) and a positive quadratic term (β = 0.203; CI = 0.060, 0.347; P = 0.003) in patients with AUD. Within‐person NA at t−1 predicted binge drinking at t0 in patients with AUD with a significant quadratic term (β = 0.236; CI = 0.060, 0.412; P = 0.008), but not for controls. Within‐person PA at t−1 predicted binge drinking at t0 in patients with AUD with a significant quadratic term (β = 0.378; CI = 0.215, 0.542; P < 0.001), and this was also the case for controls (β = 0.487; CI = 0.158, 0.770; P < 0.001). Non‐heavy alcohol use at t0 predicted lower levels of NA at t+1 in both patients with AUD (β = −0.161; SE = 0.044; CI = ‐0.248, 0.074; P = 0.001) and controls (β = −0.114; CI = ‐0.198, ‐0.029; P = 0.010). Non‐heavy alcohol use at t0 also predicted higher levels of PA at t+1 in both patients with AUD (β = 0.181; CI = 0.088, 0.274; P < 0.001) and controls (β = 0.189; CI = 0.101, 0.278; P < 0.001).ConclusionsThe momentary relation between affect and craving or alcohol use seems to be non‐linear in female patients with alcohol use disorder, whereby a worse mood predicts subsequent alcohol use, though more for binge drinking than for non‐heavy alcohol use.

Published: October 2024

AbstractObjectivesThe aim of this project was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of virtual reality (VR) as a leisure activity for people living in residential aged care. Virtual reality experiences may offer alternatives for residents with limited mobility, or during times when older people are unable to leave residential care.MethodsThe intervention used VR videos delivered via a head‐mounted device. Video content was created by a local artist specifically for use with older Western Australian adults and used local content. VR sessions were videotaped for analysis. The evaluation included structured observation of video content to assess mood and engagement and post‐intervention interviews with participants.ResultsMood and engagement scores indicated overall favourable mood and considerable positive engagement with the VR experience. Interview content analysis reflected the enjoyment participants took in visiting places they had once been and the surprising ways that the experience made them feel and act as though they were actually there. Videos featuring coastal visits were the most popular and videos featuring music were the most engaging. Some participants found the head‐mounted device uncomfortable. VR was considered potentially beneficial for residents with limited mobility or living with cognitive impairment.ConclusionsOverall VR is a feasible and acceptable leisure activity for older people in residential care. The use of local content has the potential to prompt memories and generate new conversations. Future use of VR may consider different modes of video delivery and advancements in evaluation.

AbstractThe prevalence of many chronic noncommunicable diseases has been steadily rising over the past six decades. During this time, over 350,000 new chemical substances have been introduced to the lives of humans. In recent years, the epithelial barrier theory came to light explaining the growing prevalence and exacerbations of these diseases worldwide. It attributes their onset to a functionally impaired epithelial barrier triggered by the toxicity of the exposed substances, associated with microbial dysbiosis, immune system activation, and inflammation. Diseases encompassed by the epithelial barrier theory share common features such as an increased prevalence after the 1960s or 2000s that cannot (solely) be accounted for by the emergence of improved diagnostic methods. Other common traits include epithelial barrier defects, microbial dysbiosis with loss of commensals and colonization of opportunistic pathogens, and circulating inflammatory cells and cytokines. In addition, practically unrelated diseases that fulfill these criteria have started to emerge as multimorbidities during the last decades. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of diseases encompassed by the epithelial barrier theory and discuss evidence and similarities for their epidemiology, genetic susceptibility, epithelial barrier dysfunction, microbial dysbiosis, and tissue inflammation.

Published: October 2024

AbstractBackgroundPost‐hepatectomy liver failure is a major cause of mortality, where future liver remnant (FLR) is the key controllable factor. Recommended minimum FLR is influenced by quality of liver parenchyma. Historical research has often failed to include Māori and Pacific Island (PI) populations despite worse health outcomes. Liver analysis by ethnicity is one such example of this. The aims were to determine digital FLR for various anatomical hepatectomies, investigate any correlations between computed tomography (CT) hepatic textural analysis and body mass index (BMI); and assess the variance of these relationships for different ethnicities.MethodOne hundred and fifty‐one patients who underwent abdominal CT scans at Burwood Hospital, Christchurch were retrospectively analysed. Māori and PI patients were selectively recruited to represent New Zealand's diversity. Liver volumetry, segmental ratio, and intra‐hepatic fat deposits (IHFD) per ethnicity were examined.ResultsMedian age of the cohort was 66 (19–95) and 75 (50%) were males. 68%, 23% and 9% patients identified as being European, Māori/PI and Asian, respectively. No statistically significant difference in volume or segment/total volume ratio were noted across different ethnicities. Obese patients had higher IHFD compared with overweight and normal BMI groups. When stratified across ethnic groups, higher IHFD were observed in Asian compared with Māori/PI populations, despite lower BMI.ConclusionNo significant variances in liver volumetry were found across different ethnic groups in New Zealand. However association between BMI and IHFD varied across different ethnic cohorts. Consequently, knowledge of liver volumetry is not enough; patient liver quality and ethnicity should considered for hepatic‐surgery planning.

Published: October 2024

AbstractLesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people experience higher levels of economic insecurity and poverty compared to non‐LGBT people. Social safety net programs may reduce this disparity, but the uptake of these programs among LGBT adults has rarely been assessed. We conducted a secondary data analysis of the 2018–2020 Well‐Being and Basic Needs Survey to compare differences in material hardship and social safety net program utilization between LGBT and non‐LGBT adults in the United States. LGBT participants were more likely to report lack of an emergency fund, food insecurity, utilities hardship, medical hardship, and multiple material hardships. LGBT adults had higher odds compared to non‐LGBT adults of using SNAP, income‐ or disability‐based insurance, SSI or SSDI, and housing assistance. There were no differences in use of WIC, reduced‐price/free school lunch benefits, or charitable food. Future studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy of the social safety net programs for reducing material hardship.
