Turning commitment into performance through buyer dependence: a dual pathway approach
Authors: Padgett Daniel , Hopkins Christopher D. , Gabler Colin B. 
Published: March 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the interrelated role of relational commitment and dependence as drivers of key performance outcomes. Specifically, the authors provide a conceptual model of the impact of commitment on relationship value dependence and switching cost dependence. The authors further investigate how these dimensions of dependence offer differing noneconomic and economic paths to strategic and financial performance.

Design/methodology/approach
Survey data was collected from 296 purchasing agents across multiple industries located in the USA. The conceptual model and accompanying hypotheses were tested via partial least squares structural equation modeling.

Findings
The results show that the relational path is driven by affective and normative commitment, which are related to relationship value dependence. Conversely, calculative commitment is related to switching cost dependence. This economic path is related to both strategic and financial performance, whereas the relational path is more closely related to strategic as opposed to financial performance outcomes.

Research limitations/implications
This study extends research on Business-To-Business (B2B) relationships by leveraging social exchange theory to examine the interrelated roles played by two forms of dependence on performance outcomes. Thus, the authors answer Scheer et al.’s (2015) call for research into the two distinct types of dependence – relationship value and switching cost dependence – and their roles in determining B2B relationship outcomes. The findings contribute to the literature by integrating social exchange and relationship marketing concepts to develop a dual pathway approach to B2B partnerships.

Practical implications
The results suggest that dependence is not necessarily negative for firms. Specifically, buyers can and do still exhibit positive performance, both strategic and financial, in relationships with suppliers even when dependent on the relationship. Regardless of whether buyers are dependent due to a relationship or economic factors, both can, in different ways, lead to positive strategic and financial outcomes. Together, the authors contribute to the understanding of B2B partnerships by offering guidelines for both buyers and suppliers in the dyad.

Originality/value
The authors derive a comprehensive model depicting primarily relational and economic paths to performance through different types of commitment and dependence. The authors contribute to the literature by demonstrating that relational and economic paths to success are not the same, highlighting how firms could influence performance even when the relationship is not necessarily characterized by generally positive relational benefits and behaviors.

Published: March 2024

Purpose
Heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and cooling (HVAC) systems are crucial in daily health-care facility services. Design-related defects can lead to maintenance issues, causing service disruptions and cost overruns. These defects can be avoided if a link between the early design stages and maintenance feedback is established. This study aims to use experts’ experience in HVAC maintenance in health-care facilities to list and evaluate the risk of each maintenance issue caused by a design defect, supported by the literature.

Design/methodology/approach
Following semistructured interviews with experts, 41 maintenance issues were identified as the most encountered issues. Subsequently, a survey was conducted in which 44 participants evaluated the probability and impact of each design-caused issue.

Findings
Chillers were identified as the HVAC components most prone to design defects and cost impact. However, air distribution ducts and air handling units are the most critical HVAC components for maintaining healthy conditions inside health-care facilities.

Research limitations/implications
The unavailability of comprehensive data on the cost impacts of all design-related defects from multiple health-care facilities limits the ability of HVAC designers to furnish case studies and quantitative approaches.

Originality/value
This study helps HVAC designers acquire prior knowledge of decisions that may have led to unnecessary and avoidable maintenance. These design-related maintenance issues may cause unfavorable health and cost consequences.

Authors: Yan Da 
Published: March 2024

PurposeThe study investigated the feedback seeking abilities of learners in L2 writing classrooms using ChatGPT as an automated written corrective feedback (AWCF) provider. Specifically, the research embarked on the exploration of L2 writers’ feedback seeking abilities in interacting with ChatGPT for feedback and their perceptions thereof in the new learning environment.Design/methodology/approachThree EFL learners of distinct language proficiencies and technological competences were recruited to participate in the mixed method multiple case study. The researcher used observation and in-depth interview to collect the ChatGPT prompts written by the participants and their reflections of feedback seeking in the project.FindingsThe study revealed that: (1) students with different academic profiles display varied abilities to utilize the feedback seeking strategies; (2) the significance of feedback seeking agency was agreed upon and (3) the promoting factors for the development of students’ feedback seeking abilities are the proactivity of involvement and the command of metacognitive regulatory skills.Research limitations/implicationsAdditionally, a conceptual model of feedback seeking in an AI-mediated learning environment was postulated. The research has its conceptual and practical implications for researchers and educators expecting to incorporate ChatGPT in teaching and learning. The research unveiled the significance and potential of using state-of-the-art technologies in education. However, since we are still in an early phase applying such tools in authentic pedagogical environments, many instructional redevelopment and rearrangement should be considered and implemented.Originality/valueThe work is a pioneering effort to explore learners' feedback seeking abilities in a ChatGPT-enhanced learning environment. It pointed out new directions for process-, and student-oriented research in the era of changes.

Published: March 2024

PurposeThe aim of this research is to investigate the association between perceived overqualification and leisure crafting in the context of immigrants. Drawing on the cross-cultural adaptation theory, the study tests the moderating role that acculturation plays in this relationship.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from a total of 226 immigrants living in Northern Cyprus. In the initial survey, data were collected on perceived overqualification and acculturation, which was followed by the measurement of leisure crafting. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling.FindingsPerceived overqualification asserts a significantly positive impact on leisure crafting. Assuming that acculturation plays a moderating role, the research shows that the positive effect that perceived overqualification has on leisure crafting is increased in cases where positive acculturation is elevated as opposed to reduced.Research limitations/implicationsThe study results were based on self-reported surveys and data were limited to overqualified immigrant groups in Northern Cyprus.Practical implicationsThe study provides significant practical implications for management teams. They can design managerial interventions to increase the acculturation of immigrants, which may in turn reduce the perceived overqualification and increase the positive impact of leisure crafting. Also, the government needs to implement policies targeted at immigrants in order to help them rapidly adapt to the host society.Originality/valueThis research will be a pioneering attempt to explore the positive relationship between perceived overqualification and leisure crafting. The results suggest actions that can be taken to promote leisure crafting behaviors through the use of acculturation to enhance organizational commitment, belongingness to the host society, and well-being in overqualified immigrants.
Two host‐plant strains in the fall armyworm
Authors: Nam Kiwoong , Nègre Nicolas , Saldamando Benjumea Clara Ines 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is one of the major pest insects damaging diverse crops including cotton, corn, rice, and sorghum. Fall armyworms have been identified as two morphologically indistinguishable strains, the corn strain, and the rice strain, named after their preferred host‐plants. Although initially recognized as host‐plant strains, there has been an ongoing debate regarding whether the corn and rice strains should be considered as such. In this article, we present arguments based on recent population genomics studies supporting that these two strains should be considered to be host‐plant strains. Furthermore, host‐plant adaptation appears to be a driving evolutionary force responsible for incipient speciation in the fall armyworm.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackgroundThe polymorphisms of the FOXP3 gene may mediate abnormalities in Tregs, leading to an imbalance in maternal‐fetal immune tolerance and ultimately resulting in recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). This meta‐analysis aims to assess the potential association between FOXP3 polymorphisms and susceptibility to RSA using five specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).Materials and methodsBy conducting a comprehensive search across databases such as EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, and CBM, we identified suitable studies for inclusion in the meta‐analysis. The data extracted from these studies were subjected to analysis using Stata SE 15. To assess the degree of association, we utilized the odds ratio (OR) along with its corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Five specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were employed in assessing the connection between FOXP3 gene polymorphisms and RSA.ResultsThe meta‐analysis demonstrated a significant association between several polymorphisms (rs3761548, rs2232365, rs2232368, rs2280883, and rs2294021) and susceptibility to RSA. Conversely, the FOXP3 rs5902434 polymorphism was not associated with susceptibility to RSA.ConclusionOur meta‐analysis suggests that these genetic variations within the FOXP3 gene might play a role in the progression of RSA disease. Meanwhile, large‐scale studies that consider multiple factors are needed to validate this finding.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackgroundSocioeconomic differences are present within the population of men who experience infertility and seek treatment.ObjectiveTo study the association of socioeconomic status with semen parameters in a group of men using mail‐in semen analyses.Materials and methodsThe records of 11,134 men that used mail‐in semen analyses from a fertility company were identified. Their demographic information, semen parameters, and ZIP codes were collected. Area deprivation index (ADI) was used as a proxy for socioeconomic status and was calculated for each individual using their ZIP codes in order to measure their level of socioeconomic deprivation. A higher ADI signifies a more deprived area. The association between ADI and the semen parameters of this group was measured using linear regression analysis adjusted for age.Results11,134 men were included in the study with a median age of 35 years (interquartile range (IQR): 32–40) and a median ADI of 83 (IQR: 68–97). The cohort had a median sperm concentration of 31 million/mL (IQR: 14–59), median total sperm count of 123 million (IQR: 57–224), median total motile sperm of 35 million (IQR: 9–95), median total motility of 32% (IQR: 15–52), progressive motility of 22% (IQR: 9–38), and morphology percent normal of 4% (IQR: 2–7). Higher ADI, indicating lower socioeconomic status, was negatively associated with various semen parameters, including sperm concentration, total sperm count, total motile sperm, and total and progressive motility.Discussion and conclusionMen who live in more deprived areas are more likely to have worse semen parameters. Further research is needed to thoroughly examine the impact of socioeconomic status on male fertility. A comprehensive approach that targets upstream social, economic, and healthcare factors can possibly alleviate the negative association of socioeconomic status with fertility and semen parameters.

Published: March 2024

AbstractTo explore the of Qufeng Tongqiao Prescription in the treatment of cerebral ischemia–reperfusion (CIR) and associated molecular network mechanism. Venny diagram, gene ontology (GO) and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) analysis, protein–protein interaction (PPI), hub genes mining, molecular docking, combined with animal experiments and Nissl stain were performed to determine the molecular network mechanism of Qufeng Tongqiao Prescription for CIR treatment. Fifty three intersecting genes between Qufeng Tongqiao Prescription and cerebral ischemia reperfusion were acquired from Venny analysis. GO analysis showed that the main biological process (BP) was response to lipopolysaccharide, and the main cell localization (CC) process was membrane raft, while the most important molecular function (MF) process is Cytokine receptor binding. Moreover, AGE‐RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications is the most important signaling pathway in KEGG pathway. Through molecular docking, it was found that Astragalus membranaceus was docked with MAPK14, IL4, FOS, IL6, and JUN; pueraria membranaceus was directly docked with JUN and IL4; Acorus acorus was linked to JUN and MAPK14; Ganoderma ganoderma and human were involved in JUN docking, and Ligusticum chuanqi and pueraria could not be docked with MAPK14, respectively. The results of animal experiments showed that Qufeng Tongqiao Prescription significantly improved behavioral performance and reduced the number of neuronal deaths in rats subjected to CIR, and molecular mechanisms are associated with FOS, IL‐6, IL4, JUN, and MAPK14, of there, IL‐6, as a vital candidator, which has been confirmed by immunostaining detection. Together, Qufeng Tongqiao Prescription has positive therapeutic effect on CIR, and the underlying mechanism is involved MAPK14, FOS, IL4, and JUN network, while IL‐6 may be as a vital target.
How motivation restricts the scalability of universal school‐based mindfulness interventions for adolescents
Authors: Galla Brian 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn this article, I argue that the scalability and effectiveness of universal school‐based mindfulness interventions for adolescents will always be limited by the high motivational commitment required to meditate. Mindfulness interventions rely on a single and demanding health behavior—namely, meditation—to cultivate mindfulness skills. But unlike traditional mindfulness interventions delivered in clinics to self‐selected adults who are motivated to manage personal problems through meditation, universal school‐based mindfulness interventions are delivered to all adolescents regardless of their desire to meditate. I review evidence from multiple randomized controlled trials of universal school‐based mindfulness interventions to show that adolescents consistently report low levels of engagement in meditation and that many interventions have failed to improve adolescents' mental health. I propose that universal mindfulness interventions eliminate meditation entirely and focus on instilling contemplative viewpoints conducive to flourishing, and that the skill of mindfulness is taught only to adolescents who want to meditate.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackgroundPatients with sepsis‐associated encephalopathy (SAE) often exhibit cognitive impairments. Despite this, the underlying mechanisms of SAE remain largely unexplored. Here, we explored the role of serotonergic neurotransmission in cognitive dysfunction of two mouse models of SAE.MethodsThe mouse models of SAE were established by injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) and cecal ligation puncture (CLP) respectively. Barnes maze, new object recognition test and open field test were used to evaluate the effects of fluoxetine (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) and cyproheptadine (nonselective 5‐HT2 receptor antagonist) on cognition and motor activity of mice. Additionally, WAY100635 (5‐HT1A receptor antagonist) was co‐administered with fluoxetine to explore the mechanism underlying effect of fluoxetine on cognitive impairments of SAE. Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to determine 5‐HT levels in hippocampus, brainstem and frontal lobe of experimental groups.ResultsBoth LPS‐induced sepsis and CLP induced sepsis resulted in a notable learning deficit. Fluoxetine ameliorated, while cyproheptadine aggravated, cognitive impairment in two classic mouse models of SAE. The cognition‐enhancing effect of fluoxetine is reversed by WAY100635. Decreased 5‐HT levels in hippocampus, brainstem and frontal lobe were observed in LPS septic model and CLP septic model. Notably, both fluoxetine and cyproheptadine significantly increased 5‐HT levels in those brain regions in LPS septic model. Additionally, fluoxetine significantly increased 5‐HT levels in frontal lobe of CLP septic model.ConclusionsOur study demonstrated that serotonergic neurotransmission plays a significant role in mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment in SAE. These findings contribute to identification of novel targets to prevent and arrest cognitive impairment in SAE.

Published: March 2024

AbstractAimThe English Bowel Cancer Screening Programme detects colorectal cancers and premalignant polyps in a faecal occult blood test‐positive population. The aim of this work is to describe the detection rates and characteristics of adenomas within the programme, identify predictive factors influencing the presence or absence of carcinoma within adenomas and identify the factors predicting the presence of advanced colonic neoplasia in different colon segments.MethodThe Bowel Cancer Screening System was retrospectively searched for polyps detected during colonoscopies between June 2006 and June 2012, at which time a guaiac test was being used. Data on size, location and histological features were collected, and described. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the significant factors influencing the development of carcinoma within an adenoma.ResultsA total of 229 419 polyps were identified; after exclusions 136 973 adenomas from 58 334 patients were evaluated. Over half were in the rectum or sigmoid colon. Subcentimetre adenomas accounted for 69.8% of the total. The proportion of adenomas containing advanced histological features increased with increasing adenoma size up to 35 mm, then plateaued. A focus of carcinoma was found in 2282 (1.7%) adenomas, of which 95.6% were located distally. Carcinoma was identified even in diminutive adenomas (0.1%). The proportion of adenomas containing cancer was significantly higher in women than men (2.0% vs. 1.5%, p < 0.001).ConclusionThis national, prospectively captured dataset adds robust information about histological features of adenomas that convey an increased risk for colorectal cancer, and identifies caecal adenomas, high‐grade dysplasia, increasing adenoma size, distal location and female sex as independent risk factors associated with carcinoma.

AbstractThe Langbian Plateau, a biodiversity hotspot in the southern Annamites of Viet Nam, has undergone extensive hunting pressure. However, the limited information on the effects of overexploitation on the current status and community composition of wildlife hinders effective conservation efforts, including the implementation of targeted patrols to reduce snaring. In this study, we conducted a camera‐trapping survey across the Langbian Plateau, consisting of a broadleaf evergreen and coniferous habitat mosaic. We recorded 46 ground‐dwelling mammals and birds, including several threatened Annamite endemics. Using multi‐species Royle‐Nichols model and landscape covariates, we found higher richness in broadleaf evergreen forest located in more remote and less rugged areas. We then used species responses to covariates to predict species distribution and identify high‐priority areas for conservation. Furthermore, we constructed diversity profiles that indicated higher biodiversity in broadleaf evergreen forest compared to the coniferous forest. Finally, we used a dissimilarity index to assess the level of defaunation, revealing 16% of the community had been lost, with higher levels of defaunation for threatened and larger‐sized species. Our findings provide insights into the status, distribution, and occurrence of the ground‐dwelling mammal and bird communities in the Langbian Plateau, and can help stakeholders design more effective conservation strategies to protect existing populations.
