Published: April 2024

SummaryMitotic exit is an important part of the cell cycle that requires coordination of many chromatin and cytoskeleton remodelling events to successfully complete cell division and maintain cell identity. Protein de-phosphorylation is a key step in directing mitotic exit and Protein phosphatase (PP1) is essential to this process, however the specific contribution of its numerous targeting subunits is still unknown. Here we have investigated the function of three chromatin-associated PP1 targeting subunits in exiting mitosis Repo-Man, Ki-67 and PNUTS. We have generated endogenously tagged, auxin-degradable alleles for each subunit and used a multi-omic approach to address their specific contribution towards transcription resumption, chromatin accessibility and protein phosphorylation at the transition from mitosis to G1. This approach has identified their distinct role in mitotic exit, provided unique datasets for the cell cycle community, and highlighted novel functions for Ki-67 and Repo-Man in genome stability and organisation.
Diurnal.plant.tools in 2024: expanding toMarchantia polymorphaand four angiosperms
Authors: Tan Qiao Wen , Tan Emmanuel , Mutwil Marek 
Published: April 2024

AbstractDiurnal gene expression is a pervasive phenomenon occurring across all kingdoms of life, orchestrating adaptive responses to daily environmental fluctuations and thus enhancing organismal fitness. Our understanding of the plant circadian clock is primarily derived from studies in Arabidopsis and direct comparisons are difficult due to differences in gene family sizes. To this end, the identification of functional orthologs based on diurnal and tissue expression is necessary. The diurnal.plant.tools database constitutes a repository of gene expression profiles from 17 members of the Archaeplastida lineage, with built-in tools facilitating cross-species comparisons. In this database update, we expand the dataset with diurnal gene expression from 4 agriculturally significant crop species and Marchantia, a plant of evolutionary significance. Notably, the inclusion of diurnal gene expression data for Marchantia enables researchers to glean insights into the evolutionary trajectories of the circadian clock and other biological processes spanning from algae to angiosperms. Moreover, by integrating data from tissue, and perturbation gene expression datasets for Marchantia from other databases, the diurnal dataset complements it to offer a comprehensive overview of gene functions across varied biological contexts. This expanded database serves as a valuable resource for elucidating the intricacies of diurnal gene regulation and its evolutionary underpinnings in plant biology.
Role of
ρ−ω
interference in semileptonic
B→π+π−ℓν¯ℓ
decays
Authors: Bernlochner Florian U. , Wallner Stefan 
Published: April 2024

It is long known that interference effects play an important role in understanding the shape of the π+π− spectrum of resonances near the threshold. In this manuscript, we investigate the role of the ρ−ω interference in the study of semileptonic B→π+π−ℓν¯ℓ decays. We determine for the first time the strong phase difference between B→ρ0ℓν¯ℓ and B→ωℓν¯ℓ from a recent Belle measurement of the mππ spectrum of B→π+π−ℓν¯ℓ. We find ϕρ−ω=(−46−67+155)° and extract the branching fraction of B(B→ρ0ℓν¯ℓ)=(1.41−0.38+0.49)×10−4. In addition, we set a limit on the S-wave component within an mππ window ranging from 2mπ to 1.02 GeV of ΔB(B→[π+π−]Sℓν¯ℓ)<0.51×10−4 at 90% CL. We also determine the absolute value of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element of |Vub|ρ−ω=(3.03−0.44+0.49)×10−3, which takes into account the ρ−ω interference.

The non-Gaussian spatial distribution of galaxies traces the large-scale structure of the Universe and therefore constitutes a prime observable to constrain cosmological parameters. We conduct Bayesian inference of the ΛCDM parameters Ωm, Ωb, h, ns, and σ8 from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey CMASS galaxy sample by combining the wavelet scattering transform (WST) with a simulation-based inference approach enabled by the SimBIG forward model. We design a set of reduced WST statistics that leverage symmetries of redshift-space data. Posterior distributions are estimated with a conditional normalizing flow trained on 20,000 simulated SimBIG galaxy catalogs with survey realism. We assess the accuracy of the posterior estimates using simulation-based calibration and quantify generalization and robustness to the change of forward model using a suite of 2000 test simulations. When probing scales down to kmax=0.5  h/Mpc, we are able to derive accurate posterior estimates that are robust to the change of forward model for all parameters, except σ8. We mitigate the robustness issues with σ8 by removing the WST coefficients that probe scales smaller than k∼0.3  h/Mpc. Applied to the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey CMASS sample, our WST analysis yields seemingly improved constraints obtained from a standard perturbation-theory-based power spectrum analysis with kmax=0.25  h/Mpc for all parameters except h. However, we still raise concerns on these results. The observational predictions significantly vary across different normalizing flow architectures, which we interpret as a form of model misspecification. This highlights a key challenge for forward modeling approaches when using summary statistics that are sensitive to detailed model-specific or observational imprints on galaxy clustering.

Spur of the moment: the unintended consequences of excessive food purchases and food waste during Ramadan
Authors: Hassan Siti Hasnah , Low Eve Chee 
Published: April 2024

PurposeFood waste, a global conundrum with adverse socioeconomic and environmental implications, occurs when more money is spent on food during occasions akin to Ramadan. This study examines the moderating role of antecedents (festive experience, nostalgic food memory, perceived scarcity, and religiosity) to understand the impacts of excessive food buying on Ramadan food waste.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional survey was performed with a self-administered questionnaire using Google Forms to gather data on social media. Notably, 349 valid responses were analysed via Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4 for model development and hypothesis testing.FindingsFestive experience, nostalgic memory, and perceived food scarcity could explain excessive buying behaviour. In this vein, excessive food buying contributed to Ramadan food waste. Meanwhile, religiosity was found to moderate excessive food-buying behaviour.Practical implicationsThe empirical findings offered useful insights for practitioners and policymakers to implement optimal marketing strategies and interventions that improve responsible consumption and minimise food waste.Originality/valueThis study provided a sound understanding of consumer buying behaviour during Ramadan regarding food waste and overconsumption. The current work delineated the role of descriptive, injunctive norms and cognitive dissonance in shaping buying behaviour during Ramadan.

Authors: Khan Alamgir , Iqbal Javed , Shah Rasool 
Published: April 2024

PurposeThis study presents a two-step numerical iteration method specifically designed to solve absolute value equations. The proposed method is valuable and efficient for solving absolute value equations. Several numerical examples were taken to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method.Design/methodology/approachWe present a two-step numerical iteration method for solving absolute value equations. Our two-step method consists of a predictor-corrector technique. The new method uses the generalized Newton method as the predictor step. The four-point open Newton-Cotes formula is considered the corrector step. The convergence of the proposed method is discussed in detail. This new method is highly effective for solving large systems due to its simplicity and effectiveness. We consider the beam equation, using the finite difference method to transform it into a system of absolute value equations, and then solve it using the proposed method.FindingsThe paper provides empirical insights into how to solve a system of absolute value equations.Originality/valueThis paper fulfills an identified need to study absolute value equations.
Whisper network knowledge of BAME women in academia: a critical realist, critical race feminist theory model of theorising inequality regimes
Authors: Martinez Dy Angela 
Published: April 2024

PurposeThis paper introduces a new approach to theorising and learning from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) women’s experiences of inequality in academia. It offers a versatile model with which the structure of a particular racist-sexist inequality regime can be theorised from empirical evidence.Design/methodology/approachThe paper presents composite, fictionalised accounts of intersectional discrimination which are then analysed through critical realist frameworks, employing critical race feminist theory insights. This novel “whisper network” method centres the knowledge of BAME women in academia, and is translatable to other marginalised actors, offering a more protective means by which to access their knowledge as a foundation for organisational change.FindingsThrough theorising the ontological arrangement of key causal mechanisms responsible for the reproduction of inequality regimes, the paper illuminates links between micro-level intersectional discrimination and meso-level institutional inequality.Research limitations/implicationsIn order to preserve anonymity and reduce potential backlash, the vignettes in this paper are not intended to precisely capture specific empirical realities, but instead reflect wider patterns from the author's own whisper network knowledge. Nonetheless, the analytical method developed here could be applied to rigorously collected empirical data, with clear implications for improving organisational practice.Practical implicationsThe paper offers a structured and systematic process by which qualitative data on institutional inequality can be analysed and stakeholders engaged to develop and propose solutions, even by individuals new to the field.Social implicationsA methodical basis for strategic action addressing the issues revealed through such an analysis can be developed in order to galvanise and steer organisational change.Originality/valueThe novelty of the paper is twofold: in its original synthesis of critical realist depth ontology and ontological insights from critical race feminist theory about social structures of oppression, and in the development of the innovative “whisper network” method based upon a critical race theory counter-storytelling epistemology, in conversation with the emergent stream of literature within feminist organisation studies regarding the importance of “writing differently”.
Does the conflict between work and family hinder thriving? Role of depersonalization and intrinsic motivation
Authors: Iqbal Juman , Alam Mohammad Nurul , Khan Hamia 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
Elucidating on the concrete outline of conservation of resource theory, this study aims to explore the links between work-family conflict and workplace thriving. In particular, this study has integrated depersonalization as a mediator and tested the moderated mediation effects of intrinsic motivation in work-family conflict and depersonalization relationships.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected using a sample of 357 doctors working across various public hospitals in India over two waves (T1 and T2) and was tested using AMOS and Process Macros.

Findings
Exploration reveals that work-family conflict is negatively associated with workplace thriving. The mediating role of depersonalization in between work-family conflict and workplace thriving was established. Moreover, the moderating role of intrinsic motivation in work-family conflict and workplace thriving via depersonalization was also established.

Originality/value
The present study makes a theoretical addition to the literature by investigating nuances through which work-family conflict relationships and thriving at the workplace can be affected. To date, such a relationship has not been established. The study also extends the role of depersonalization as an underlying mechanism between work-family conflict and workplace thriving, making an imperative contribution. This study also tested the moderating role of intrinsic motivation. Overall, these relationships are novel and have been seldom reported.

Published: April 2024

PurposeThe present study assesses the impact resistance of the shear thickening fluids-filled (STFs-filled) foam through drop-hammer impact tests.Design/methodology/approachThe maximum residual impact load and specific impact energy absorption rate of STF-filled foam are studied with varying thickness (4–14 mm), densities (0.35–0.6 g/cm3) and hardness (40–50 Rockwell Hardness C Scale (HRC)) under different ambient temperatures (−20−20 °C) and impact energies (25–75 J).FindingsThe following conclusions are obtained from this study: (1) the higher the impact energy, the greater the maximum residual impact force and energy absorption efficiency of the material; (2) the impact resistance of STF-filled foam can be improved with the decrease of ambient temperature, achieving the highest energy absorption rate at −10?. (3) STF-filled foam substrate has the highest impact resistance, the lowest maximum residual impact force and the highest energy absorption coefficient when the density is 0.35 g/cm3, the hardness is 45HC and the thickness is 10 mm.Originality/valueThis is the first paper to analyze the impact of both environmental factors and material properties on the impact resistance of STF-filled foam. The results show that the decrease in temperature and the increase in hardness can enhance the impact resistance of STF-filled foam.
The dilemma of employee productivity measures and managerialism practices: an empirical exploration in financial institutions
Authors: Olekanma Obafemi , Harrison Christian , Oyewunmi Adebukola E. , Adedeji Oluwatomi 
Published: April 2024

PurposeThis empirical study aims to explore how actors in specific human resource practices (HRPs) such as line managers (LMs) impact employee productivity measures in the context of financial institutions (FI) banks.Design/methodology/approachThis cross-country study adopted a qualitative methodology. It employed semi-structured interviews to collect data from purposefully selected 12 business facing directors (BFDs) working in the top 10 banks in Nigeria and the UK. The data collected were analysed with the help of the trans-positional cognition approach (TPCA) phenomenological method.FindingsThe findings of a TPCA analytical process imply that in the UK and Nigeria’s FIs, the BFDs line managers’ human resources practices (LMHRPs) resulted in a highly regulated workplace, knowledge gap, service operations challenges and subjective quantitatively driven key performance indicators, considered service productivity paradoxical elements. Although the practices in the UK and Nigerian FIs had similar labels, their aggregates were underpinned by different contextual issues.Practical implicationsTo support LMs in better understanding and managing FIs BFDs productivity measures and outcomes, we propose the Managerial Employee Productivity Operational Definition framework as part of their toolkit. This study will be helpful for banking sectors, their regulators, policymakers, other FIs’ industry stakeholders and future researchers in the field.Originality/valueWithin the context of the UK and Nigeria’s FIs, this study is the first attempt to understand how LMHRPs impact BFDs productivity in this manner. It confirms that LMHRPs result in service productivity paradoxical elements with perceived or lost productivity implications.

Authors: Mishra Poornima , Sharma Ashish , Rabbani Mustafa Raza , Khan Asif , Kumar Sunil 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
Financial and nonfinancial disclosures (sustainable accounting) are crucial in the annual financial reports of many firms. This study aims to explore the dynamic relationship between sustainability disclosure quality (SDQ) and financial performance (FP) within mandatory disclosure frameworks. SDQ is evaluated across six dimensions, encompassing both the quality and quantity of disclosures, aiming to understand their reciprocal influence.

Design/methodology/approach
Using the generalized method of moments (GMM), this research analyzes data from 2013 to 2019, focusing on 99 listed Indian firms within the S&P Bombay stock exchange (BSE) 500 index. The study uses rigorous measurement criteria to assess SDQ and uses statistical methods to unveil the causal link between SDQ and FP.

Findings
The results show a positive causal connection between SDQ and FP, where organizations with good FP make relatively higher disclosures across FP proxies than their counterparts. Additionally, the study investigates the impact of research and development (R&D) expenditure and dividend payments (DIVD) on SDQ. Notably, lower R&D spending is associated with higher quality SDs, and companies with superior SDQ exhibit increased DIVD.

Practical implications
The findings advocate for strengthened regulatory compliance, incentivized sustainable practices and heightened reporting standards for a transparent business environment and achieving the relevant United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Originality/value
This research contributes original insights by uncovering the intricate relationship between SDQ and FP, shedding light on the impact of R&D expenditure and DIVD on SDQ. These findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of the interplay between FP and sustainability reporting within the context of mandatory disclosure frameworks.
Spirituality in organizational leaders – Ways to Inner, Ways to Wisdom
Authors: Azevedo Andreia Magalhães , Gonçalves Carlos Manuel , Costa Patrício 
Published: April 2024

PurposeWork is central to human life. It requires high mental and emotional involvement from organizational leaders, whose decisions have far-reaching impacts. Currently, industrial and technological societies struggle with growing problems of trust in leadership, mental health, feelings of emptiness and the search for relevant meaning, which highlights the importance of attending to spirituality at work. This study aims to fill two main gaps: the need for empirical research on spirituality in organizational leaders, and access to the meanings and experiences of leaders themselves.Design/methodology/approachQualitative data from 25 Portuguese organizational leaders were collected through in-depth interviews. We followed a phenomenological approach to reveal participants' own meanings and experiences of spirituality. Content analysis was performed to identify emergent categories and a framework of spirituality development.FindingsThe results suggest the participant’s plural views and spirituality practices, which generate common achievements – Ways to Inner. Relations of leaders’ spirituality with their development and integration at work are also evidenced – Ways to Wisdom. A spirituality development framework is presented with aspects revealed in leaders’ ways, from deepening individual issues to the orientation for existential impacts.Originality/valueThis study proposes a framework of spirituality development based on empirical data, with the potential for adaptation to various professional contexts. Spirituality is approached as a human dimension in leaders, as whole beings and a decisive dimension of present organizational change towards a holistic work paradigm.
Incivility and engagement: the role of emotional exhaustion and psychological capital in service organizations
Authors: Tetteh Stephen 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
Based on the conservation of resource theory and the affective events theory, the study aims to explore the role of workplace incivility in predicting work engagement through emotional exhaustion and how psychological capital moderates this relationship.

Design/methodology/approach
Using the questionnaire survey with a sample of 278 restaurant employees in Ghana and through process macro analysis, the hypotheses were tested.

Findings
The results depict the mediating role of emotional exhaustion on the workplace incivility–engagement relationship. Also, the level of an individual’s psychological capital buffers the impact of workplace incivility on engagement through emotional exhaustion. When psychological capital is high, the negative effect of workplace incivility on work engagement through emotional exhaustion weakens.

Practical implications
The findings suggest that organizations, particularly those in developing economies in Africa, can derive immense benefit from giving psychological capital training to employees to help buffer the effects of incivility on engagement through emotional exhaustion.

Originality/value
With a focus on a developing economy in Africa, to the best of the author’s knowledge, this study is novel in exploring the mediating and moderating mechanisms of the incivility–engagement relationship.
