Published: February 2025

AbstractTransposon mobilizations could cause gene mutations and even genomic instability, whose aberrant activation is tightly linked with cancer, neurodegenerative disorder and other pathologies. However, the precise suppression mechanisms of transposon mobilizations during somatic development throughout evolution remain largely obscure. Here, by spatiotemporally monitoring transpositions with single-cell resolution, we determined a highly conserved mechanism in suppressing transposon mobilizations. We identified that Cramp1 safeguards the genomic integrity in bothDrosophilahindgut regeneration and mouse embryonic erythropoiesis through silencing transposon mobility. Cramp1 is characterized as a major hallmark that specifically binds to the DNA sequences of histone gene cluster to initiate transcription of linker histone H1, which subsequently promotes H3K36me2-established heterochromatin for transposon silencing. Our finding highlights that with the endless arms race between hosts and transposons during evolution, the core mechanisms will also evolve to suppress transposon mobilizations during somatic development.One-sentence abstractCramp1 plays an evolutionarily conserved role in specifically initiating linker histone H1 transcription and triggering H1-H3K36me2-established heterochromatin to suppress transposon mobilizations and maintain genome integrity during somatic development.
Searching for resonant flavor-changing charged Higgs production at the LHC
Authors: Hou Wei-Shu , Krab Mohamed 
Published: February 2025

We suggest a resonant cb¯→H+ production search, followed by bosonic H+→W+H weak decay at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In the general two-Higgs-doublet model (G2HDM) that has flavor-changing neutral Higgs couplings, H+ is resonantly produced via the top-charm ρtcVtb coupling at tree level, while H+→W+H weak decay occurs within the exotic second doublet, leading eventually to same-sign dilepton signals. We perform a signal-to-background analysis at the 14 TeV LHC and show that discovery seems possible with LHC Run 2 data already at hand.

The impact of board subcommittees on firm performance: the moderating role of CEO duality according to the legal system
Authors: Bel-Oms Inmaculada , Grau Grau Alfredo 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore the moderating role of chief executive officer (CEO) duality in the relationship between board subcommittees and audit committees with financial expertise on firm performance in European countries. To extend this research, the sample is divided into two subsamples based on common and civil law, with the latter being divided into the three subgroups of civil French law, civil German law and civil Scandinavian law.

Design/methodology/approach
Panel data for 3,448 observations from nine European countries are analyzed for the period 2016–2019. The model is estimated and contrasted with the generalized method of moments.

Findings
The main findings of this study show that CEO duality moderates positively the relationship between corporate governance committees and firm performance in Europe. Furthermore, the results indicate that CEO duality moderates positively on the association between corporate governance committees and firm performance in countries located by civil law. The findings also evidence that CEO duality moderates positively on the association between corporate governance and compensation committees and firm performance in countries located by Civil-French. Finally, the findings reveal that CEO duality moderates positively the relationship between audit committees with financial experts and firm performance performance in countries located by Civil-German.

Research limitations/implications
This study has some limitations. First, this study may not have considered some characteristics that could influence firm performance from other empirical and theoretical approaches. Second, this study divided the sample according to La Porta et al. (1997) and Graff’s (2008) approaches, but other classifications from different studies may have led to different outcomes. Finally, this study did not examine the country-level aspects that influenced firm performance, such as culture and institutional characteristics beyond corporate governance, economic and political factors. This is a potential avenue for future research.

Practical implications
Managers can use the findings to make strategic company decisions, and they can help other directors understand the important effects CEO duality has on corporate boards because board subcommittees mitigate the negative effect of CEO duality on firm performance.

Originality/value
This study expands upon the research about the moderating role of CEO duality through the different board subcommittees, thereby presenting it as an instrument that greatly enhances firm performance. In this sense, this moderating role preserved firm performance when the agency theory was previously corroborated, and the independent management of CEO duality was found to negatively impact.
Black women’s green blues: songs as black women’s environmental expression and engagement in keeping a black feminist tradition
Authors: Johnson Jacquita N. 
Published: February 2025

PurposeBlack women have been practically erased from reviews of environmentally-conscious songs. This may result from past findings demonstrating Black women’s disinterest in environmental issues, despite them having increased exposures to environmental degradation and subsequent adverse health outcomes. However, this assertion did not take into account Black women’s standpoints, nor the creative, alternative locations Black women use to express and engage in social issues—songs.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, I utilize Black feminist thought, a critical social theory and its matrix of domination as an analytical framework to understand and analyze Black women’s expression and engagement in environmental issues through song. Sample lyrics from one of the most popular blues songs that focus on an environmental theme is analyzed: Bessie Smith’s “Backwater Blues.” By demonstrating the viability of this strategy, I simultaneously evidence how Smith kept Black feminist thought’s Black women’s blues tradition.FindingsThis paper explores insights about an alternative location Black women use to express and engage in environmental issues– songs. It suggests that Black feminist thought’s matrix of domination is an effective analytical framework to highlight Black women’s expression and engagement in environmental issues and identify the power structures that shape them. It is also shown that Smith kept Black feminist thought’s Black women’s blues tradition. The environmental and related fields would benefit from incorporating Black feminist thought and creative expressions, such as songs, into the field to expand its thought, approaches and ultimately, its equitable impact.Originality/valueThis paper builds on and expands existing environmental literature by analyzing Black women’s expression and engagement in environmental issues from a Black women’s standpoint through the use of songs.
Investigating the impacts of psychological safety climate on mental ill health in the Vietnamese construction industry
Authors: Nguyen Minh Van , Khanh Ha Duy , Phan Chien Thanh , Thuc Le Dinh 
Published: February 2025

PurposeMental ill health is prevalent among construction workers due to high job demands and unsafe working conditions. Psychological safety climate (PSC) has emerged as a potential solution for improving workplace mental health. However, there is still limited understanding of how different dimensions of PSC influence mental ill health. Thus, this study aims to explore the impact of PSC on the mental ill health of construction employees in the Vietnamese context.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 238 construction professionals using a non-probability sampling method. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to analyze the relationships between various PSC dimensions and mental ill health.FindingsThe findings revealed that management commitment and management priority have the most significant influence on reducing mental ill health in the Vietnamese construction sector. While organizational communication and participation contribute, their impact is less pronounced but crucial in promoting employee well-being.Originality/valueFirms should actively promote mental well-being by visibly prioritizing psychological health alongside productivity and providing resources for stress prevention. For policymakers, these findings suggest the need for regulations that encourage or mandate mental health programs. Additionally, the study highlights the need for employees to engage with mental health initiatives to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health discussions in the workplace.

Authors: Tiwari Sampada , Asma Asma , Tiwari Puja , Singh Basant Kumar 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the relationship between internal environment of the Indian service sector organisations and innovative work behaviour of their employees. Additionally, it examines the influence of gender of the employees on this relationship.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on responses collected from 612 Indian service sector employees, the study examines the impact of the factors constituting internal environment, namely, management support (MS), work discretion/ autonomy (WD), rewards (R), time availability (TA) and organisational boundaries (OB) on their innovative work behaviour (IWB). Structural equation modelling has been used to study this relationship. To study the moderating role of gender, multi-group analysis has been used.

Findings
The results show that all the factors constituting the internal environment significantly predict innovative work behaviour. The moderating effect of gender is found with regard to the impact of management support, work discretion and time availability on innovative work behaviour. However, no moderating effect is seen regarding the impact of rewards and organisational boundaries on innovative work behaviour.

Practical implications
This study assists managers in understanding the factors which are the facilitators and inhibitors of innovative work behaviour among employees. It also aids them in tailoring their approaches towards male and female employees to increase their involvement in innovative activities.

Originality/value
The study offers insights into how gender diversity among employees affects the relation between the factors constituting the internal environment of their organisations and their innovative behaviour.
Bottom-line mentality: systematic literature review and future research directions
Authors: Moazzam Sania , Malik Muhammad Abdur Rahman 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThe purpose of current systematic literature review (SLR) is to propose 1) theoretical perspectives which may be adopted in future research to explain the antecedents and outcomes of bottom-line mentality (BLM); 2) social environmental factors which may be responsible for provoking employees’ BLM and 3) buffering variables which can curtail the negative outcomes of BLM.Design/methodology/approachWe searched Google Scholar and Scopus database and looked for keywords “bottomline mentality” OR “BLM” OR “bottom line mentality” in the title, abstract and keywords. This study systematically reviewed 87 articles that have empirically examined BLM phenomenon.FindingsCertain theoretical perspectives (i.e. social information processing theory, social exchange and social-cognitive theories) have been overly utilized to explain the phenomenon of BLM. Second, we identified the person, supervisor and organization-related antecedents leading to the development of BLM. Third, we found that BLM was positively related to certain employee behaviors (i.e. knowledge hiding, unethical behavior, social undermining) and negatively related to other behaviors (i.e. helping behavior and innovative work behaviors).Originality/valueThe current review is the first to propose buffering variables which may likely curtail the negative effects of BLM.
Assessment of factors inhibiting engagement of quantity surveyors on private residential building projects in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria
Authors: Olatunde Nathaniel Ayinde , Awodele Imoleayo Abraham , Adebayo Bosede Olajumoke , Makanjuola Sola Samuel 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
The study examined the factors inhibiting the engagement of Quantity Surveyors (QS) on private residential building projects in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria with a view to enhance the performance of such projects.

Design/methodology/approach
The study used a qualitative research approach with the use of interview protocol for data collection. A Convenient sampling method was used to select 20 on-going residential building construction projects for the study in the Government Reserved Area, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. The client and the architect of the selected projects were the population of research for interview. For data analysis, 28 successful interviews were used, while frequency, percentile and content analysis were the method of data analysis used.

Findings
The result indicated that the most important factor inhibiting the engagement of QSs on private residential building projects is lack of awareness of the benefit inherent in engagement of QS on residential projects. Other important factors are; the perception that engagement of QS will increase the construction cost, absence of legislation that mandate engagement of QS, usurpation of Quantity Surveyor’s roles by other professionals and the perception that engagement of QS is essential only in big projects.

Practical implications
It was recommended that every state chapter of the Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (NIQS) should start a series of awareness campaign program within their State to enlighten the populace on the services that a professional QS can offer them with emphasis on the benefits of engaging QS on the small scale projects such as residential building projects. More recommendation has it that as a matter of policy and requirement for building approval criteria, deliverables from QS should be made compulsory. This measure will help every potential residential building client to see QS as an important professional that must be engaged before their project can be successfully delivered.

Originality/value
The study attempted to investigate the factors inhibiting the engagement of QS on private residential building construction projects. This was motivated by the perceived prevalent of non-engagement of QS in the study area with the attendant poor project performance.
Cooperation or coopetition? Online platforms’ private label products encroachment and brand manufacturers’ pricing model selection
Authors: Zha Yong , Ren Lixiang , Li Quan 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
This study aims to explore the dynamics between the brand manufacturer’s revenue model choice and the platform’s private label product entry strategy, specifically, (1) Under the wholesale and agency models, when should the platform introduce its private label product to compete with the manufacturer? (2) Facing the potential threat of the platform’s entry, how should the manufacturer choose between the wholesale and agency models? (3) How does the platform’s entry strategy affect the manufacturer’s price decisions and demand? (4) What are the implications of the strategic interaction between the manufacturer’s model selection and the platform’s encroachment on social welfare and consumer surplus?

Design/methodology/approach
This study develops a multistage game model consisting of a manufacturer, a platform and consumers. The model describes the strategic interaction between the manufacturer and the platform, where the manufacturer first chooses one of the revenue models from the agency model and the wholesale model, followed by the platform’s decision whether to offer its own products to enter the competition, after which the two parties set the price of their products to compete on price according to their strategies, then the consumers make purchase decisions based on the principle of utility maximization.

Findings
For the platform, to not hurt its profitability in the manufacturer channel with too much competition, lower social utility sensitivity and lower similarity of product imitation rather favor platform entry. Platform entry affects manufacturers’ retail prices and demand differently across different revenue models. Interestingly, if the social utility sensitivity and imitation similarity are moderate, when the commissions extracted by the platform are low, manufacturers still have the incentive to adopt the wholesale model rather than the agency model. In addition, platform entry into competition increases consumer surplus and social welfare only when consumer sensitivity to social utility is low.

Originality/value
The research model innovatively describes the strategic interaction between the manufacturer and the platform; to more accurately portray the consumer demand model, this model also introduces the parameters of the similarity of the platform’s products to the products of the manufacturer, as well as the social utility sensitivity of consumers. Conclusions are drawn on the choice of platform entry strategy versus the choice of revenue model for manufacturers. Relevant managerial insights are provided for both platforms and manufacturers, which partially explains the existing market situation.
The impact of artificial intelligence usage on supply chain resilience in manufacturing firms: a moderated mediation model
Authors: Yue Xiaochen , Kang Mary , Zhang Yanming 
Published: February 2025

PurposeManufacturing firms must strengthen their supply chain resilience to survive in turbulent business environments. This study explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can be leveraged to enhance supply chain resilience.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on organizational information processing theory, the research investigates the impact of AI usage on proactive and reactive supply chain resilience by fostering referent power in the context of demand dynamism. The study analyzes survey data from 285 Chinese manufacturing firms using structural equation modeling and regression analysis.FindingsThe results indicate that AI usage can enhance both proactive and reactive supply chain resilience. Referent power only mediates the relationship between AI usage and reactive supply chain resilience. Furthermore, this mediating effect is stronger under high-level demand dynamism.Originality/valueThis study highlights the value of AI usage in strengthening supply chain resilience and uncovers its underlying mechanisms. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
Internet of things as an enabler of knowledge management in manufacturing firms: does supply chain visibility mediate?
Authors: Doe Precious 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThe purpose of the study is to assess the enabling role of Internet of Things on knowledge management in manufacturing firms and if supply chain visibility mediates this relationship.Design/methodology/approachThe study was a quantitative study. Survey data was collected from 205 manufacturing firms within the Ghana Free Zones area. PLS-SEM was used to test the hypothesized relationship.FindingsThe findings revealed that automation and connectivity have significant positive effects on knowledge acquisition, knowledge generation, and supply chain visibility, while interoperability and real-time data do not have significant effects. Supply chain visibility does not significantly mediate the relationships between IoT dimensions and knowledge management processes.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the limited literature by demonstrating the enabling role of IoT dimensions on knowledge management process and the mediating role of supply chain visibility in the context of manufacturing firms in emerging markets.
Research on the balanced scorecard for government entities: a literature review
Authors: Barros Rúben Silva 
Published: February 2025

PurposeNew public management reforms have allocated a central place within public organisations to performance measurement. The balanced scorecard (BSC) is one of the models adapted and promoted for use in that setting. After more than 30 years of practice, this study reviews the leading literature published on the BSC for government entities and considers how it has been developed, the main insights gained and what could be investigated further.Design/methodology/approachA literature review procedure inspired by a structured literature review process was conducted using the Scopus and Web of Science databases.FindingsOur research approach allowed us to obtain 39 articles published in 26 journals, showing a steady interest over the period from 1999 to 2022. These studies mainly adopt a case study approach with a practical orientation. With diverse situations reported, ranging from more beneficial situations to ones involving greater difficulties, this study calls for future researchers to investigate not only the implementation and use issues of the BSC but also its continuing use over time and the course that its application may take. Additionally, future researchers should not ignore the political and social issues concerning its implementation and use. We also observe that qualitative approaches are likely to remain valuable research designs for pursuing our research suggestions.Originality/valueThis study offers a comprehensive review of the use of the BSC for government entities, connecting the results and considerations to further research with reflections on NPM.
