Authors: Zheng Qinyao , Lin Jiabao 
Published: April 2024

PurposeDrawing on social capital theory, this study aims to explore the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on organizational resilience. The research investigates the mediating role of relationship quality in the association of CSR with organizational resilience, and the moderating role of data-driven culture in the association between CSR and relationship quality.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from Chinese agricultural firms with a sample of 241 senior or middle executives and structural equation modeling was used to test the research model and hypotheses.FindingsThe results indicate that CSR positively affects the relationship quality between agribusinesses and farmers, which in turn positively affects both proactive resilience and reactive resilience. Relationship quality has a partial mediating role in the association of CSR with proactive resilience and reactive resilience. Data-driven culture has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between CSR and relationship quality.Originality/valueBy arguing for CSR toward organizational resilience and analyzing its underlying mechanism, this study enriches the literature on CSR and organizational resilience and expands the existing knowledge on the roles of relationship quality and data-driven culture. This study also provides practical insights into how to improve organizational resilience.

Published: April 2024

PurposeIn a complex, ever-changing, and turbulent business world, encouraging employees to express their improvement-oriented novel ideas through voice behavior is crucial for organizations to survive and thrive. Understanding how to foster employee promotive voice at work is a significant issue for both researchers and managers. This study explores how to foster employee promotive voice through specific HRM practices and positive employee attitudes. It also examines the effect of employee promotive voice on perceived organizational performance.Design/methodology/approachThis study employed a time-lagged multisource survey design. Data were collected from 215 executives, 790 supervisors, and 1,004 employees in 113 firms, and analyzed utilizing a multilevel moderated serial mediation model.FindingsThe findings of this study revealed that promotive voice was significantly related to perceived organizational performance. Innovation-enhancing HRM was positively associated with employee promotive voice. The HRM-voice relationship was partially mediated by employee job satisfaction. Power distance orientation was found to significantly moderate the relationship between innovation-enhancing HRM and employee job satisfaction at the firm level. Our findings showed that innovation-enhancing HRM policies may fail to foster promotive voice if they do not enhance employee job satisfaction.Originality/valueThis study challenges some taken-for-granted assumptions in the literature such as any high performance HRM bundles (e.g. HPWS) can foster employee promotive voice, and the effects of HRM are direct and even unconditional on organizational outcomes. It emphasizes the need to avoid potential unintended effects of HRM on employee voice and the importance of contextualizing voice research.

Experimental study of geophysical and transport properties of salt rocks in the context of underground energy storage

Published: April 2024

AbstractArtificial caverns in salt rock formations play an important role in the net‐zero energy transition challenge, both for covering short‐term fluctuations in energy demand and serving as safe locations for long‐term underground gas storage both for hydrogen and natural gas. Geophysical tools can serve for monitoring geomechanical changes in the salt cavern during selection and development, and during gas storage/extraction activities, but the use of common geophysical monitoring techniques has been very limited in this area. Here, we present experimental work on physical and transport properties of halite rocks within the energy storage context and assess the potential of seismic and electromagnetic data to monitor gas storage activities in salt formations. First, we analysed the stress‐dependency of the elastic and transport properties of five halite rocks to improve our understanding on changes in the geological system during gas storage operations. Second, we conducted two dissolution tests, using cracked and intact halite samples, monitored with seismic (ultrasonic P‐ and S‐waves velocities and their attenuation factors) and electromagnetic (electrical resistivity) sources to evaluate (i) the use of these common geophysical sensing methods to remotely interpret caverning development and (ii) the effect of structural discontinuities on rock salt dissolution. Elastic properties and permeability showed an increasing trend towards rock sealing and mechanical enhancement with increasing pressure for permeabilities above 10−21 m2, with strong linear correlations up to 20 MPa. In the dissolution tests, the ultrasonic waves and electrical resistivity showed that the presence of small structural discontinuities largely impacts the dissolution patterns. Our results indicate that seismic and electromagnetic methods might help in the selection and monitoring of the caverning process and gas storage operations, contributing to the expected increase in demand of large‐scale underground hydrogen storage.
What did it used to look like? A case study from tall, wet mainland Mountain Ash forests prior to British invasion
Authors: Lindenmayer David , Taylor Chris , Bowd Elle , Zylstra Philip 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThere has been extensive commentary about historical First Nations' land management in Australia, including in tall, wet forests, and therefore their condition at the time of the British invasion in 1788. Popular texts have interpreted records kept by early British invaders to argue that extensive areas of tall, wet forest were kept open through frequent burning by the First Peoples. However, these interpretations conflict with historical and ecological evidence, which is rarely acknowledged in public discourse. Here, we present evidence about what Victorian Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans) forests were like at the time of the British invasion. We show that at the time of the British invasion, most areas of mainland Mountain Ash forests were likely to have been naturally dense and wet, with: (1) overstorey trees spaced relatively widely; and (2) an understorey consisting of a cool temperate rainforest mesic layer. Ecological and physiological evidence suggests that Mountain Ash forests evolved under conditions where high‐severity wildfire was comparatively rare, leading to patterns of landscape‐level cover dominated by relatively mature forests. This is broadly consistent with reports from the First Peoples, early historical accounts, paintings, and photographs. These forests were not open or park‐like, as may have been the case in some other Australian vegetation types. However, these forests were not wilderness, but places of significance to the First Peoples. Understanding forest structure at the time of the British invasion is critically important in establishing historical reference conditions for guiding appropriate restoration programmes, especially the reinstatement of traditional ecological knowledge, after long periods of post‐British invasion disturbance and degradation. Notably, the dense, wet understorey that characterizes Mountain Ash forests should be recognized as an inherent and entirely natural part of the ecological dynamics of this ecosystem, with approaches to thin, burn, or remove it highly likely to be counterproductive and have a range of detrimental environmental effects.
Productive leisure on the farm
Authors: Frazier Camille 
Published: April 2024

AbstractIn the context of deepening national concern about the future of farming in India, professionals in Bengaluru's (Bangalore's) booming information technology and related industries are purchasing agricultural land at the edges of the city and farming in their free time. These “techie farmers” invest their money and time in cultivation either (1) to generate idealized agrarian traditions and aesthetics or (2) to prove that with the right approach, agriculture can be economically and ecologically viable. Techie farmers’ weekends spent on the farm are a form of what I call “productive leisure”: the act of engaging in leisure activities that are positioned as productive alternatives to other forms of work and play. Yet techie farmers’ experiments in cultivating self and society remain anchored in and further entrench the inequalities that make agriculture a precarious livelihood strategy for some and a productive leisure activity for others.

Published: April 2024

AbstractAimThe aim of this study is to evaluate an early discharge programme with video consultations for preterm infants.MethodsA homecare programme for preterm infants was developed. Prospective data on readmissions, length of stay, growth, breastfeeding rates, and parent self‐reports about satisfaction were collected from April 2021 to August 2023. Additionally, retrospective data were collected from the Norwegian Neonatal Network Central Database from 2020.ResultsPreterm infants, 72 and parents, 128 were included. The infants were discharged from the hospital at a median of 35 + 6 (34 + 0–42 + 4) weeks postmenstrual age. The median length of stay in the program was 18 days (3–37). There were four readmissions. The Z‐score of infant weight slightly increased during the follow up, with a mean of 0.16. By discharge, 75% of the infants were exclusively breastfed. Growth and breastfeeding rates were in line with retrospective data (85 infants). The response rate of the parents to the survey was 61 (52%). Overall, the parents (n = 54) were highly satisfied (96%). The video consultations contributed to ensuring parents to feel safe in caring for their infant at home.ConclusionFollow up by video consultations is a viable healthcare service for preterm infants, the infants' growth is sufficient, breastfeeding rates are maintained, and parents feel safe and satisfied.
Group ethical voice and ethical behaviors: The mediating role of group moral transitive motivation and moderating role of group faultlines
Authors: Qi Meng , Feng Bin , Liu Fei , Qian Ting 
Published: April 2024

AbstractEthical voice involves individuals’ perceptions of what is right and what is wrong. Although prior research has investigated the impacts of individual‐level prohibitive ethical expression on personal outcomes, there has been limited examination of ethical voice at the group level. Our study examines how and when different types of ethical voice influence group outcomes. Using data gathered from 363 participants from 61 groups in two Chinese companies, the results reveal that promotive and prohibitive ethical voices at the group level exert opposing influences on group moral transitive motivation. Group moral transitive motivation serves as a mediating factor in the association between the two types of ethical voice and group ethical behaviors (GEB). In addition, group faultlines moderate the impact of promotive ethical voice and prohibitive ethical voice on group moral transitive motivation and on GEB (via group moral transitive motivation). Our study extends the focus of research from a single type of ethical voice at the individual level to multiple types at the group level. The findings contribute to the body of knowledge regarding group ethical voice (GEV) by articulating its mediating mechanism as well as its boundary condition. This research provides valuable insights for researchers and managers by offering a comprehensive understanding about the role of different types of GEV and how to reform GEV.

Published: April 2024

SummaryBariatric surgery is an effective treatment for severe obesity, affording significant improvements in weight loss and health‐related quality of life. However, bariatric surgeons' views on whether certain pre‐operative factors predict improvements in post‐operative health‐related quality of life, and if so, which ones, are largely unknown. This cross‐sectional survey study examined the views of 58 bariatric surgeons from Australia and New Zealand. A total of 18 factors were selected for exploration based on their mention in the literature. Participants rated the extent to which they thought these pre‐operative factors would improve post‐operative health‐related quality of life. Responses showed that bariatric surgeons held diverse perspectives and revealed a lack of consensus regarding “predictive” factors. Generally, respondents agreed that better than average health literacy, higher socioeconomic status, good physical and psychological health, and positive social support were predictors of improved health‐related quality of life following surgery. However, poor eating behaviours, smoking, and the use of alcohol or other substances were deemed negative predictors. Interestingly, aside from higher socioeconomic status, good psychological health, and positive social support, none of the aforementioned views aligned with existing literature. This study offers an initial insight into bariatric surgeons' views on the influence of different pre‐operative factors on post‐operative health‐related quality of life. The array of views identified suggests that there may be an opportunity for medical education, but the findings warrant caution due to the sample size. Replication with a larger survey may be useful, especially as predicted health‐related quality of life outcomes could guide decisions regarding surgical (non)progression.

AbstractThe invasive alien stink bug Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), native to eastern‐southern Africa and central‐southern Asia, poses significant economic threats to agroecosystems due to its polyphagous diet with a preference for brassicaceous crops. Current control methods using broad‐spectrum insecticides are expensive and often result in significant negative ecological impacts, as well as posing a health risk to consumers. This study provides a detailed description of the mating behavior of B. hilaris, with the aim to ascertain whether substrate‐borne vibrations have a role in premating phases. Such knowledge may contribute to the development of alternative biorational control techniques employing vibrational strategies. Virgin adults were tested individually or in pairs on different substrates, that is, a loudspeaker membrane and a bean plant. Vibrations emitted by males and females were recorded using a laser Doppler vibrometer, and the following spectral and temporal parameters were analyzed: fundamental frequency, emission time, repetition time, and signal modulation. Three distinct types of vibration emitted by males and females were identified: a male vibrotype (MV‐1), a female vibrotype (FV), and a copula signal exclusively emitted by males (MS‐2). MV‐1 and FV were emitted prior to genitalia contact, whereas MS‐2 was emitted within the mounting and engagement phases. Statistical analysis revealed significant transitions in behavioral phases for couples that achieved mating. By analyzing the walking behavior, there was an inverse relationship between motility and signal emission when comparing the two sexes, which suggests that males might engage in a form of searching behavior. These findings provide insight into the crucial role of vibrational communication to achieve mating in B. hilaris.

AbstractAimTo evaluate the implementation of a mixed virtual and in‐person brief intervention for young people, aged 12–25 years, presenting to a large urban mental health service in crisis with suicidal ideation and/or self‐harm.MethodsA pragmatic, real‐world evaluation was conducted on the Youth Brief Intervention Service between June 2021 (inception) and October 2022. Service users were offered four sessions over an approximate one‐month period. Sessions focused on distress tolerance, safety plans and support systems. Implementation outcomes related to service uptake, retention, fidelity of the model and service user experience. Effectiveness outcomes were measured pre‐post and included mental health‐related hospital service utilization (primary outcome), functioning, mental health status, self‐harm, suicidal ideation and quality of life.ResultsOf the 136 young people referred to the Youth Brief Intervention Service, 99 were accepted with 17 disengaging before the first session. Eighty percent of people who commenced, completed the package of care. Young persons' and parent/carers experience of service was high (97% and 88%, respectively). Mental health‐related emergency department presentations and inpatient days decreased from 3 months pre‐intake to 3 months post‐intake (42 vs. 7 presentations, X
2 = 25.3, p < .001; 11 vs. 0 inpatient days, X
2 = 9.1, p = .01). There were significant improvements in mental health status, days engaging in self‐harm, general health and functioning and quality of life.ConclusionsThe Youth Brief Intervention Service is feasible, acceptable, subjectively beneficial and coincided with less mental health‐related emergency department presentations and inpatient days, and improved mental health status and behaviour.
Extruded seed pelleting offers an alternative direct seeding option to rehabilitate forested ecosystems impacted by a soil‐borne plant pathogen

Published: April 2024

SummaryThe high cost of native seeds and low seedling establishment percentages after seed broadcasting are major constraints for seed‐based rehabilitation. This study examines whether extruded seed pelleting can be used as a tool to distribute seeds more effectively (e.g. distribute small seeds in a precise manner) while maintaining or enhancing seedling emergence and establishment of Australian shrub species used in the rehabilitation of Phytophthora cinnamomi infested Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) forest sites. Pellet formulation was first tested using five different formulations of dry ingredients and the addition of seeds from four Phytophthora‐resistant species under glasshouse conditions. The best performing formulation from this work was then adopted to compare laboratory‐produced and field‐deployed pellets. Seedling emergence of the larger seeded species, Raspberry Jam Wattle (Acacia acuminata) and Pin‐cushion Hakea (Hakea laurina), was highest using field‐deployed pellets and emergence was statistically similar to the non‐pelleted seeds. Seedling emergence reached 100% for the small seeded species, Silky‐leaved Bold Flower (Calothamnus sanguineus) and Melaleuca seriata, from laboratory‐produced pellets and was significantly higher than non‐pelleted seeds. These results indicate that extruded pelleting offers an alternative direct seeding option that can result in greater or equal seedling emergence than that observed with non‐pelleted seeds, yet the responses are species‐specific. These species‐specific pelleting techniques must now be tested under field conditions to confirm whether pellet production method and delivery improve seedling establishment under field conditions.

Published: April 2024

SummaryThe type of attractant used in camera trap lures is recognised as an important methodological decision. We investigated whether the type of attractant in lures indirectly influences detectability of wildlife on cameras via differential attraction of invertebrates which themselves constitute prey of insectivorous animals. We indexed invertebrate abundance using pitfall and sticky‐traps at 36 camera stations deployed in a Latin Squares design for 5 days, with three lure options (peanut‐butter, tuna oil and control) in a coastal mosaic, at Cape Otway, Victoria, Australia. We classified vegetation types (habitat) as: low (no or sparse), medium (grass), and high (shrubs) from aerial imagery and estimated their percentage cover at each grid point (medium and high were uncorrelated and included as separate variables in models). We first examine if attractant types or the habitat influence invertebrate abundance and assemblage, and then examine whether invertebrate abundance influences vertebrate detectability on cameras. There was a trend for the composition of terrestrial invertebrate assemblages to be influenced by lure type (peanut‐butter, tuna oil and control attractants) and the proportional cover of medium height vegetation within 20 m; however, assemblage composition was clearly influenced by the proportional area of high vegetation cover within 20 m. The detection probability of insectivorous birds increased where medium‐sized (2.5–5 mm) flying invertebrates were present whereas insectivorous mammal detectability increased with terrestrial invertebrate species richness. Mammal detections are more likely associated with use of habitats that have more diverse invertebrate communities. This study provides some support to the hypothesis of the indirect mechanism whereby bird detections are influenced by invertebrate attraction to lures. Therefore, lure choice for camera traps is critical and the possibility of guild‐level biases in detection suggests that cautious interpretation of results is required.
