Authors: Alvi Tariq Hameed , Ilyas Hafiz Muhammad Siddaq , Tariq Samia , Qammar Ahmad , Wang Yonggui 
Published: July 2024

PurposeThe study investigates the nature of an understudied yet salient relationship between perceived overqualification (POQ) and work alienation in project management. It employs relative deprivation theory to propose two dimensions of the psychological contract, i.e. relational and transactional, as underlying mediating mechanisms and how empowering leadership mitigates the adverse effects of POQ.Design/methodology/approachTo this end, in two waves, we surveyed 232 project members of three public-sector information and communication technologies (ICT) projects in Punjab, Pakistan. The data was analyzed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe key findings are: (1) POQ leads to work alienation, (2) relational and transactional contracts mediate this relationship, and (3) empowering leadership can mitigate the adverse effects of POQ in project management settings.Originality/valueThis research adds valuable insights to the scant POQ literature in public-sector project management settings. It also contributes by identifying the mediating role of relational and transactional psychological contracts and the moderating role of empowering leadership to mitigate the adverse effects of POQ in these settings.

Authors: Rawat Preeti S. , Lyndon Shiji S. , Darvekar Shivali 
Published: July 2024

PurposeThe purpose of the study is to give a new perspective to presenteeism. Traditionally, there are two approaches to it. In our study, we have tried to empirically prove that there is a third approach to looking at presenteeism from the lens of employee engagement.Design/methodology/approachThe research design used a mixed-method approach and was carried out in two parts. In Part I of the study, survey research was carried out to study presenteeism. In part II, a vignette on presenteeism was designed to study whether respondents exhibit presenteeism more in a crisis than other modes of handling the situation.FindingsThe findings from Study 1 showed that high employee engagement led to high presenteeism. Study 2 showed that in crisis situation employee engagement led to voluntary presenteeism in the form of work–from–home as the most preferred response.Research limitations/implicationsThe study's limitations were the small sample size and cross-sectional survey research design. The same was offset by using the vignette study to show the relationship between employee engagement and presenteeism.Practical implicationsVoluntary presenteeism is different from forced presenteeism and often is a mark of engaged behaviour of employees.Social implicationsIf work-from-home when sick is managed correctly and supported with adequate resources, attending work during illness can benefit health and performance in the long run.Originality/valueThe study provides a unique perspective on presenteeism in general and voluntary presenteeism in particular.

Authors: Prakhar Prakhar , Jaiswal Rachana , Gupta Shashank , Gupta Shiv Kumar 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
This study aims to explore tourist perceptions and behaviors toward electric vehicles (EVs) in the Delhi National Capital Region using the technology continuance theory.

Design/methodology/approach
An online survey involving 226 respondents uses structural equation modeling to analyze correlations among factors, including perceived enjoyment, facilitating conditions, ease of use, satisfaction, cost, image and performance.

Findings
This study reveals that enhancing perceived enjoyment and facilitating conditions can improve the user-friendliness of EVs. Additionally, reducing perceived cost, enhancing image and improving perceived performance can increase the perceived usefulness of EVs. Perceived ease of use strongly influences user satisfaction, while perceived usefulness and satisfaction positively impact users’ attitudes and intentions to use EVs. Although factors such as experience, environmental consciousness, age and gender influence perceptions, focusing on enjoyment, facilitating conditions, cost, image and performance can significantly enhance user satisfaction and intention to use EVs.

Research limitations/implications
The findings underscore several actionable recommendations for businesses and policymakers to boost EV adoption at tourist destinations. The potential benefits of EV adoption, such as improved environmental sustainability, enhanced technological image and increased tourist satisfaction, can serve as a source of inspiration and motivation. Enhancing user experience by prioritizing comfort and convenience in EV design is crucial. Addressing cost concerns through incentives and cost-effective pricing strategies can make EVs more appealing. Marketing campaigns highlighting environmental benefits and technological advancements can improve EV image and performance perception. Prioritizing tourists’ satisfaction and support services is essential, along with educational campaigns to increase awareness. Infrastructure development, including expanding charging networks, and supportive policies like tax incentives, can further encourage EVs adoption, accelerating the transition to sustainable transportation.

Originality/value
This research contributes to understanding tourist perspectives on EV adoption within the context of sustainable tourism and technology adoption.
Gamification as a panacea to workplace cyberloafing: an application of self-determination and social bonding theories
Authors: Nivedhitha K.S. , Giri Gayathri , Pasricha Palvi 
Published: July 2024

PurposeGamification has been constantly demonstrated as an effective mechanism for employee engagement. However, little is known about how gamification reduces cyberloafing and the mechanism by which it affects cyberloafing in the workplace. This study draws inspiration from self-determination and social bonding theories to explain how game dynamics, namely, personalised challenges, social interactivity and progression status, enhance tacit knowledge sharing behaviour, which, in turn, reduces cyberloafing. In addition, the study also examines the negative moderating effect of fear of failure on the positive relationship between game dynamics and tacit knowledge sharing.Design/methodology/approachUsing a sample of 250 employees from information technology organisations, the study employed a 3-wave study to examine the conditional indirect effects.FindingsThe results ascertain that tacit knowledge sharing plays a central role in the relationship between gamification and cyberloafing. Further, game dynamics positively influenced tacit knowledge sharing, which in turn reduced cyberloafing. Especially, social interactivity and progression status greatly reduced cyberloafing behaviour when the fear of failure was low.Originality/valueThis study is one of the initial studies that suggest gamification as a progressive tool to reduce workplace cyberloafing behaviours. It utilises a problematisation approach to analyse and criticise the in-house assumptions regarding cyberloafing prevention measures. Further, the study proposes a conceptual model explaining the link between gamification and cyberloafing through alternate assumptions.
Indoor fixed-point hovering control for UAVs based on visual inertial SLAM
Authors: Li Zhiyu , Li Hongguang , Liu Yang , Jin Lingyun , Wang Congqing 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
Autonomous flight of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in global position system (GPS)-denied environments has become an increasing research hotspot. This paper aims to realize the indoor fixed-point hovering control and autonomous flight for UAVs based on visual inertial simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and sensor fusion algorithm based on extended Kalman filter.

Design/methodology/approach
The fundamental of the proposed method is using visual inertial SLAM to estimate the position information of the UAV and position-speed double-loop controller to control the UAV. The motion and observation models of the UAV and the fusion algorithm are given. Finally, experiments are performed to test the proposed algorithms.

Findings
A position-speed double-loop controller is proposed, by fusing the position information obtained by visual inertial SLAM with the data of airborne sensors. The experiment results of the indoor fixed-points hovering show that UAV flight control can be realized based on visual inertial SLAM in the absence of GPS.

Originality/value
A position-speed double-loop controller for UAV is designed and tested, which provides a more stable position estimation and enabled UAV to fly autonomously and hover in GPS-denied environment.
The co-evolution of sustainable finance stakeholders under the EU taxonomy for sustainable activities: an exploratory study of Irish disclosure experiences
Authors: Kirby Dylan , MacMahon Cormac Hugh , Thompson Sandra 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
In pursuit of objectives, under the European Green Deal, to channel capital flows to sustainable activities, the EU Taxonomy offers clarity, labelling real economic activities as “sustainable”, based on technical screening criteria. This study of disclosure experiences aims to explore the role of co-evolutionary relationships in the Taxonomy’s effectiveness.

Design/methodology/approach
Co-evolution theory implies a dynamic interplay among sustainable finance stakeholders (SFSs), through adjustment to, impact on and operationalisation of the Taxonomy. Corporate disclosure experiences, including those of financial institutions and related SFS experiences, may reveal co-evolutionary processes. With significant Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) and Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), Irish SFSs provide contextual insight. Semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of Irish SFSs capture inaugural corporate Taxonomy disclosure experiences.

Findings
A thematic analysis reveals six co-evolutionary processes that facilitate Taxonomy implementation in pursuit of policy objectives: [1] cross-functional reporting; [2] iterative pre-empting and addressing compliance issues; [3] regulation as a catalyst for co-evolution; [4] advanced capacity building; [5] stakeholder adaptation and [6] graduated use of ESG data. Implications for sustainability policy development and management are significant.

Practical implications
Whilst limited to just one EU jurisdiction, given limited prior empirical evidence for sustainable finance regulations from co-evolutionary perspectives, this study highlights a catalytic, yet precautionary role for co-evolution in their transformation effectiveness. As such, they must take account of their potential to stimulate co-evolution and to nurture it in pursuit of their policy objectives.

Social implications
The findings of this study add to a small, but growing body of academic literature on the Taxonomy Regulation, which suggests that a co-evolutionary lens is important for gaining a comprehensive understanding of its early-stage dynamics. From an implementation perspective, the qualitative data reveals actionable implications for regulators and policymakers, such as building capacity, better anticipation of outcomes and investment in data infrastructure.

Originality/value
Unlike existing analyses of disclosures, this study offers a co-evolutionary lens on Taxonomy contributions to sustainable development through qualitative accounts.
How does corporate social irresponsibility affect organisational reputation? The mediating role of moral anger and distrust
Authors: Zasuwa Grzegorz 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
Once established, a strong reputation is not indestructible. To protect this intangible asset, the process of reputation damage needs to be explained. Drawing on the irresponsibility and crisis communication literature, this study seeks to better understand this process. Specifically, this study aims to show how moral anger and distrust mediate the relationship between the awareness of an irresponsible incident and organisational reputation.

Design/methodology/approach
This study examined the proposed conceptual model in the empirical context of retailers bending the law. A large survey (n = 991) on consumer responses to retailers’ misbehaviour was used to collect data. The hypotheses were tested using Hayes’ PROCESS macro.

Findings
The study revealed that the mere awareness of corporate misbehaviour is not enough to directly harm accumulated positive information about a firm. Discrete emotions of moral anger and distrust fully mediate the effects of knowledge about wrongdoing. The irresponsibility appraisal is a moderator of this process that substantially changes the impacts of misbehaviour on organisational reputation.

Originality/value
By demonstrating how moral anger and distrust mediate the effects of misbehaviour awareness and identifying a boundary condition, this study advances our understanding of how corporate wrongdoing affects organisational reputation.

Published: July 2024

AbstractObjectiveTo compare the effectiveness of endometriosis excision alone to excision plus hysterectomy, with and without bilateral oophorectomy, for endometriosis‐related symptoms.DesignMulticentre prospective cohort.SettingEighty‐six specialist endometriosis centres.PopulationWomen undergoing rectovaginal endometriosis surgery between 2009 and 2021.MethodsWe performed multivariable regression with random effects for patient and centre, controlling for age, BMI, smoking, laparoscopic versus open approach and type of bowel surgery performed, with sensitivity analysis for loss to follow‐up.Main Outcome MeasuresPain scores, bowel symptoms and quality‐of‐life measures.ResultsCompared to endometriosis excision alone, women undergoing hysterectomy with conservation of ovaries had greater improvement in non‐cyclical pain (MD: 1.41/10, 95% CI: 1.03–1.78, p < 0.001), dyspareunia (MD: 1.12/10, 95% CI: 0.71–1.53, p < 0.001), back pain (MD: 1.29/10, 95% CI: 0.92–1.67, p < 0.001) and quality‐of‐life scores (MD: 8.77/100, 95% CI: 5.79–11.75, p < 0.001) at 24 months post‐operatively. Women undergoing hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy also had greater improvement in non‐cyclical pelvic pain (MD: 2.22/10, 95% CI: 1.80–2.63, p < 0.001), dyspareunia (MD: 1.05/10, 95% CI: 0.59–1.52, p < 0.001), back pain (MD: 1.18/10, 95% CI: 0.77–1.59, p < 0.001) and quality of life (MD: 12.41/100, 95% CI: 9.07–15.74, p < 0.001) at 24 months compared to endometriosis excision alone. Compared to hysterectomy with ovarian conservation, hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy was associated with greater improvement in non‐cyclical pelvic pain (MD: 0.81/10, 95% CI: 0.32–1.30, p = 0.001) at 24 months and quality of life (MD: 3.74/100, 95% CI: 0.56–6.92, p = 0.021) at 12 months, although this result was sensitive to loss to follow‐up.ConclusionsPatients who undergo endometriosis excision plus hysterectomy experience greater improvement in pain and quality of life compared to those who have endometriosis excision alone. There are additional benefits of bilateral oophorectomy with hysterectomy, although its value is less clear due to loss of follow‐up.
Temporal changes in Lycium barbarum fruit separation force and hardness during selective harvesting
Authors: Xu Yuhao , Cheng Pengle , Zhang Cun , Huang Ying 
Published: July 2024

AbstractLycium barbarum, a plant belonging to the Solanaceae family, is widely used in China due to its abundant nutritional value. Although the current mechanized harvesting method of L. barbarum has effectively minimized production expenses, it continues to have the challenge of inconsistent quality of the produced L. barbarum. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the correlation of the separating force and hardness concerning the timing of harvesting, maturity, and variety. Thus, the optimal time for harvesting ripe L. barbarum can be determined to enhance the quality of selectively mechanized harvesting of this fruit. The experiment was conducted in a L. barbarum plantation located in Qinghai Province during the 2023 harvest period. Two occasions were studied focusing on the primary cultivars Ningqi No. 1 and Ningqi No. 7, examining the three ripening stages of L. barbarum harvested at various times throughout the day. The finding of this study showed that the separation force and hardness of L. barbarum fruits were influenced by the harvesting time, the fruit variety, and the level of maturity. The optimal timing for harvesting different types of L. barbarum varies. It was observed that Ningqi No.1 was best to be harvested in the late afternoon and evening (17:00–21:00), whereas Ningqi No.7 was most suitable to be harvested in the morning (7:00–9:00).
Geochronology and Petrogenesis of Late Carboniferous to Early Permian Basalts in the Central Lhasa Subterrane, Southern Tibet: Implications for the Evolution of the Sumdo Paleo‐Tethys Ocean

Published: July 2024

AbstractBasalts from the Late Carboniferous to Early Permian are extensively developed in the central Lhasa subterrane, southern Tibet. Studying the petrogenesis of these rocks may have implications for the late Paleozoic arc magmatism along the central Lhasa subterrane uncovering more of the evolution of the Sumdo Paleo‐Tethys Ocean and its dynamic mechanism. Basalt samples from the Luobadui Formation in the Leqingla area, NW of Linzhou City in the central Lhasa subterrane, southern Tibet exhibit arc‐like geochemical signatures in a subduction‐zone tectonic setting characterized by high Al2O3 and low TiO2 contents, fractionated REE patterns with low Nb/La ratios and high LREE concentrations, and negative HFSE anomalies. Based on their higher Th/Ce, Nb/Zr, and lower Ba/Th, Pb/Nd ratios, slightly negative to positive εNd(t) values, and the relatively high Sr‐Pb isotopic compositions, these samples were probably derived from partial melting of a depleted mantle source of garnet + spinel lherzolite, metasomatized by subducted sediments around 297 Ma. Modeling of the trace elements indicates that these basalts experienced fractional crystallization of olivine, clinopyroxene and minor plagioclase during magma ascent and eruption. It is proposed that these Late Carboniferous–Early Permian basalts are associated with the northward subduction of the Sumdo Paleo‐Tethys Ocean seafloor along the southern margin of the central Lhasa subterrane.
A Monte Carlo resampling framework for implementing goodness‐of‐fit tests in spatial capture‐recapture models
Authors: Choo Yan Ru , Sutherland Chris , Johnston Alison 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Spatial capture‐recapture (SCR) models provide estimates of animal density from spatially referenced encounter data and has become the most widely adopted approach for estimating density. Despite the rapid growth in the development and application of spatial capture‐recapture methods, approaches for assessing model fit have received very little attention when compared to other classes of hierarchical models in ecology.

Here, we develop an approach for testing goodness‐of‐fit (GoF) for frequentist SCR models using Monte Carlo simulations. We derive probability distributions of activity centres from the fitted model. From these, we calculate the expected encounters in the capture history based on the SCR parameter estimates, propagating the uncertainty of the estimates and the activity centre locations via Monte Carlo simulations. Aggregating these test statistics result in count data, allowing us to test fit with Freeman‐Tukey tests. These tests are based on summary statistics of the total encounters of each individual at each trap (FT‐ind‐trap), total encounters of each individual (FT‐individuals) and total encounters at each trap (FT‐traps). We assess the ability of these GoF tests to diagnose lack of fit under a range of assumption violating scenarios.

FT‐traps had the strongest response to unmodelled spatial and trap heterogeneity in detection probability (power = 0.53–0.56), while FT‐ind‐traps had the strongest responses to random individual variation in detectability (power = 0.88) and non‐spatial discrete variation in (power = 0.35). The tests, designed to diagnose poor fit in the detection parameters, were insensitive to unmodelled heterogeneity in density (power = <0.001). They also demonstrated low false positive rates (<0.001) when the correct models were fitted; therefore, it is very unlikely that they will provide false indications of poor model fit.

We demonstrate that these GoF tests are capable of detecting lack‐of‐fit when unmodelled heterogeneity is present in the detection sub‐model. When used jointly, the combinations of test results are also able to infer the type of lack‐of‐fit in certain cases. Our Monte Carlo sampling methods may be extended to a wider range of GoF tests, thereby providing a platform for developing more GoF methods for SCR.

Published: July 2024

AbstractSenescent cells produce a Senescence‐Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP) that involves factors with diverse and sometimes contradictory activities. One key SASP factor, interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), has the potential to amplify cellular senescence in the SASP‐producing cells in an autocrine action, while simultaneously inducing proliferation in the neighboring cells. The underlying mechanisms for the contrasting actions remain unclear. We found that the senescence action does not involve IL‐6 secretion nor the interaction with the receptor expressed in the membrane but is amplified through an intracrine mechanism. IL‐6 sustains intracrine senescence interacting with the intracellular IL‐6 receptor located in anterograde traffic specialized structures, with cytosolic DNA, cGAS‐STING, and NFκB activation. This pathway triggered by intracellular IL‐6 significantly contributes to cell‐autonomous induction of senescence and impacts in tumor growth control. Inactivation of IL‐6 in somatotrophic senescent cells transforms them into strongly tumorigenic in NOD/SCID mice, while re‐expression of IL‐6 restores senescence control of tumor growth. The intracrine senescent IL‐6 pathway is further evidenced in three human cellular models of therapy‐induced senescence. The compartmentalization of the intracellular signaling, in contrast to the paracrine tumorigenic action, provides a pathway for IL‐6 to sustain cell‐autonomous senescent cells, driving the SASP, and opens new avenues for clinical consideration to senescence‐based therapies.
