Abusive supervision, dehumanization, knowledge hiding behavior and psychological capital – a daily diary method study
Authors: Ahmed Ishfaq , Mohamed Makhbul Zafir Khan 
Published: March 2024

Purpose
Knowledge is the source of competitive advantage, but when shared at all levels. Unfortunately, there is a universal unruly present in the form of knowledge hiding at employees’ level, but the causes and remedies are still vague as past studies have rarely investigated the causes of daily knowledge hiding behavior. Against this backdrop, this study aims to entail a daily diary method investigation of the role of daily abusive supervision in daily employees’ knowledge hiding through the mediation of dehumanization and moderation of psychological capital.

Design/methodology/approach
The data for this study is collected using a daily diary method approach, which estimates the daily workplace events and their continuous influence on employees’ feelings (i.e. dehumanization) and actions (knowledge hiding). The daily responses of 279 respondents were considered useful for analysis purposes.

Findings
The findings of the study revealed that the daily events of abusive supervision have both direct and indirect (through dehumanization) influence on employees’ daily knowledge hiding behavior. Moreover, psychosocial capital has a significant conditional influence in the relationships of negative workplace treatments (abusive supervision and dehumanization) and their outcomes (i.e. knowledge hiding).

Research limitations/implications
The study provides some theoretical and practical insights by providing the explanatory and coping mechanism between continuous abusive supervision and daily knowledge hiding behavior.

Originality/value
There is a dearth of literature that has focused on daily episodes of abusive supervision, dehumanization and knowledge hiding behavior. Furthermore, the moderating role of psychological capital has also been rarely investigated.
Nietzsche’s three metamorphoses of the spirit and Schopenhauer’s primordial suffering: an organizational culture change model redefining spirituality in the workplace
Authors: Georgiadis Vasileios , Sarigiannidis Lazaros 
Published: March 2024

PurposeThe paper redefines workplace spirituality (WS/WPS) by transcending the existential vacuum (in psychiatric terms a sense of lack of meaning of human existence and thus of work), leading to the development of workplace creativity, productivity and satisfaction, targeting operational profitability and organizational optimization.Design/methodology/approachSpirituality is analyzed philosophically, following the Nietzschean definition in response to Schopenhauer’s primordial suffering. Philosophical syncretism yields a viable organizational culture change model of spiritualizing the workplace. For this purpose, specific techniques are proposed which are combined with those already applied to various large companies and organizations.FindingsSpirituality in the workplace acts as a catalyst for developing beneficial qualities by increasing employee job satisfaction, organizational efficiency and business profitability, when equally responding to stakeholders’ needs.Practical implicationsThe suggested change model holistically fosters organizational, operational, individual and collective effectiveness through work place spirituality redefined.Originality/valueFor the first time spirituality in the workplace is discussed under a brand new perspective, resulting in an interdisciplinary emerging model, contributing to the field by providing guidance to academics and practitioners to its auspicious implementation through organizational culture change.
Integrating sustainability with corporate governance: a framework to implement the corporate sustainability reporting directive through a balanced scorecard
Authors: Hristov Ivo , Searcy Cory 
Published: March 2024

PurposeThe growing importance of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, as well as related performance planning, measuring and reporting, has spurred interest in linking corporate sustainability and performance management systems (PMSs). In this context, the aim of this paper is to provide companies with a framework for implementing the requirements of the corporate sustainability reporting directive (CSRD) through a sustainability balanced scorecard (SBSC). The framework will further the integration of sustainability with corporate governance.Design/methodology/approachThe framework was grounded in the relevant literature and the CSRD requirements.FindingsThis paper provides companies with a novel framework for implementing the requirements of the CSRD through a SBSC. The framework specifies four key steps (i.e. identifying material themes, initial assessment, strategic formulation and action, and sustainability reporting) to integrate sustainability with corporate governance.Practical implicationsThe framework supports managers’ decision-making processes in linking sustainability with strategy and providing a basis for integrating sustainability with corporate governance in organizations. The paper provides a way to practically address the CSRD requirements.Originality/valueThis is the first study integrating the emerging CSRD requirements with corporate governance. The paper advances discussion and debate by management scholars on how a SBSC can be practically implemented, providing details on how this may be achieved.
The relationship between legitimacy and cooperation with the police - an empirical assessment
Authors: TK Vinod Kumar 
Published: March 2024

PurposeThe police require the cooperation of the public to ensure security in society. People cooperate with the police because they share norms and values reflected in the law and police action. Police face challenges in obtaining the cooperation of the public. There are studies examining the relationship between the legitimacy of the police and cooperation with the police. Using Tankebe's (2013) model of legitimacy as a multidimensional concept, this study examines the relationship between legitimacy and cooperation with the police in India.Design/methodology/approachFor examining the relationship, the study uses data collected from a survey of 705 victims of crime in India who had interacted with the police. The research questions were examined using structural equation modeling (SEM).FindingsOn the basis of the analyses, the study concludes that legitimacy is a multidimensional concept encompassing police lawfulness, procedural justice, distributive justice and effectiveness. The legitimacy of the police has both a direct impact on cooperation with the police and the obligation to obey as a mediating variable. The study indicates that legitimacy is an important antecedent to cooperation with the police, which has significant policy implications.Originality/valueThe study is significant as there are no studies examining the relationship between the legitimacy of police and cooperation with the police in India, which is a non-Western developing country and the largest democracy in the world. The present research is the first study of this nature.
Bi-objective optimization of an EDM process with Cu-MWCNT composite tool using single-valued neutrosophic grey relational analysis
Authors: Mandal Prosun , Chatterjee Srinjoy , Chakraborty Shankar 
Published: March 2024

Purpose
In many of today’s manufacturing industries, such as automobile, aerospace, defence, die and mould making, medical and electrical discharge machining (EDM) has emerged as an effective material removal process. In this process, a series of discontinuous electric discharges is used for removing material from the workpiece in the form of craters generating a replica of the tool into the workpiece in a dielectric environment. Appropriate selection of the tool electrode material and combination of input parameters is an important requirement for performance enhancement of an EDM process. This paper aims to optimize an EDM process using single-valued neutrosophic grey relational analysis using Cu-multi-walled carbon nanotube (Cu-MWCNT) composite tool electrode.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper proposes the application of grey relational analysis (GRA) in a single-valued neutrosophic fuzzy environment to identify the optimal parametric intermix of an EDM process while considering Cu-MWCNT composite as the tool electrode material. Based on Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array, nine experiments are conducted at varying combinations of four EDM parameters, i.e. pulse-on time, duty factor, discharge current and gap voltage, with subsequent measurement of two responses, i.e. material removal rate (MRR) and tool wear rate (TWR). The electrodeposition process is used to fabricate the Cu-MWCNT composite tool.

Findings
It is noticed that both the responses would be simultaneously optimized at higher levels of pulse-on time (38 µs) and duty factor (8), moderate level of discharge current (5 A) and lower level of gap voltage (30 V). During bi-objective optimization (maximization of MRR and minimization of TWR) of the said EDM process, the achieved values of MRR and TWR are 243.74 mm3/min and 0.001034 g/min, respectively.

Originality/value
Keeping in mind the type of response under consideration, their measured values for each of the EDM experiments are expressed in terms of linguistic variables which are subsequently converted into single-valued neutrosophic numbers. Integration of GRA with single-valued neutrosophic sets would help in optimizing the said EDM process with the Cu-MWCNT composite tool while simultaneously considering truth-membership, indeterminacy membership and falsity-membership degrees in a human-centric uncertain decision-making environment.

AbstractBlue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) are the largest living animal and, like other baleen whales, became endangered due to whaling. Here, we used population genomics to infer the number, distribution and other characteristics of subspecies and populations. We used the largest DNA dataset in blue whales, both in terms of genomic markers (16,661 SNPs and mtDNA) and geographic coverage (n = 276 for SNPs; n = 531 for mtDNA). We found greatest divergence among the eastern Pacific, Indo‐western Pacific and Antarctic blue whales. There were indications that natural selection in different environments promoted divergence among these groupings. Within these regions, there was divergence between the eastern North and eastern South Pacific, and among the eastern Indian Ocean, the western South Pacific and the northern Indian Ocean. There was no divergence within the Antarctic. These findings are consistent with the current classification of Antarctic and Indo‐western Pacific blue whales in the Southern Hemisphere as different subspecies but call into question the subspecies taxonomy of eastern Pacific blue whales. The study shows that opposite breeding seasons on either side of the equator do not necessarily inhibit connectivity across the equator, and reinforces that population structure needs to be well understood to conserve the diversity within species.

Published: March 2024

AbstractIntroductionFor patients with catecholamine‐resistant vasoplegic syndrome (VS) during liver transplantation (LT), treatment with methylene blue (MB) and/or hydroxocobalamin (B12) has been an acceptable therapy. However, data on the effectiveness of B12 is limited to case reports and case series.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed records of patients undergoing LT from January 2016 through March 2022. We identified patients with VS treated with vasopressors and MB, and abstracted hemodynamic parameters, vasopressor requirements, and B12 administration from the records. The primary aim was to describe the treatment efficacy of B12 for VS refractory to vasopressors and MB, measured as no vasopressor requirement at the conclusion of the surgery.ResultsOne hundred one patients received intraoperative VS treatment. For the 35 (34.7%) patients with successful VS treatment, 14 received MB only and 21 received both MB and B12. Of the 21 patients with VS resolution after receiving both MB and B12, 17 (89.5%) showed immediate, but transient, hemodynamic improvements at the time of MB administration and later showed sustained response to B12.ConclusionImmediate but transient hemodynamic response to MB in VS patients during LT supports the diagnosis of VS and should prompt B12 administration for sustained treatment response.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackgroundBacteriuria is common among kidney transplant recipients (KTR). Risk factors and outcomes associated with bloodstream infection due to a urinary source (BSIU) in KTR are poorly understood.MethodsThis single center case‐control study from 2010 to 2022 compared KTR with BSIU to those with bacteria without bloodstream infection (BU). Multivariable logistic regression identified BSIU risk factors, and Cox models assessed its impact on graft failure.ResultsAmong 3435 patients, who underwent kidney transplantation at Emory Hospital, 757 (22%) developed bacteriuria, among whom 142 (18.8%) were BSIU. Male sex, presence of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Pseudomonas species in urine culture, urethral stricture, neuromuscular bladder disorder, and history of diabetes‐induced renal failure were independently associated with increased odds of BSIU (Male sex: aOR 2.29, 95% CI 1.52, 3.47, E. coli: aOR 5.14, 95% CI 3.02, 9.13; K. pneumoniae aOR 3.19, 95% CI 1.65, 6.27, Pseudomonas spp aOR 3.06, 95% CI 1.25, 7.18; urethral stricture: 4.10, 95% CI 1.63, 10.3, neuromuscular bladder disorder aOR 1.98, 95% CI 1.09, 3.53, diabetes: aOR 1.64, 95% CI 1.08, 2.49). BSIU was associated with increased hazard of graft failure (HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.05, 2.20).ConclusionClose monitoring is warranted for male KTR with bacteriuria, those with urine cultures positive for Pseudomonas spp, K. pneumoniae, or E. coli, as well as KTR with a history of diabetes‐induced renal failure, urethral stricture, or neuromuscular bladder disorder due to their risk for developing BSIU. Future research should explore strategies to mitigate BSIU risk in these high‐risk KTR and reduce the associated risk of long‐term graft failure.

Published: March 2024

AbstractA living donor kidney transplant (LDKT) is the best treatment for ESRD. A prediction tool based on clinical and demographic data available pre‐KT was developed in a Norwegian cohort with three different models to predict graft loss, recipient death, and donor candidate's risk of death, the iPREDICTLIVING tool. No external validations are yet available. We sought to evaluate its predictive performance in our cohort of 352 pairs LKDT submitted to KT from 1998 to 2019. The model for censored graft failure (CGF) showed the worse discriminative performance with Harrell's C of .665 and a time‐dependent AUC of .566, with a calibration slope of .998. For recipient death, at 10 years, the model had a Harrell's C of .776, a time‐dependent AUC of .773, and a calibration slope of 1.003. The models for donor death were reasonably discriminative, although with a poor calibration, particularly for 20 years of death, with a Harrell's C of .712 and AUC of .694 with a calibration slope of .955. These models have moderate discriminative and calibration performance in our population. The tool was validated in this Northern Portuguese cohort, Caucasian, with a low incidence of diabetes and other comorbidities. It can improve the informed decision‐making process at the living donor consultation joining clinical and other relevant information.
Lived experience allyship in mental health services: Recommendations for improved uptake of allyship roles in support of peer workforces

Published: March 2024

AbstractInclusion of service users in the design and delivery of mental health services is clearly articulated throughout Australian mental health action plans and stated as an expectation within contemporary mental health policy. International and local Australian research demonstrates benefits for the inclusion of lived experience workers in service users' recovery journey; however, persistent challenges and barriers limit their effective integration into transdisciplinary mental health service teams. Non‐lived experience workers who actively advocate and champion the inclusion of lived experience or peer workers, known as allies, are acknowledged and recognised as enablers for effective integration of peer workers to service teams. In this discursive paper, authors present recommendations for further development of allyship roles within leadership positions of mental health organisations in Australia. Leaders are in a position to influence the allocation of resources, redress power inequalities and facilitate opportunities for the inclusion of lived experience expertise across all levels of mental health organisations. This paper makes recommendations for areas of learning and unlearning ingrained bias and assumptions which may be detrimental to integration of lived experience workforces and hinder movement toward greater adoption of recovery‐orientated service delivery.
Optimal Calibration of Items for Multidimensional Achievement Tests
Authors: Hassan Mahmood Ul , Miller Frank 
Published: March 2024

AbstractMultidimensional achievement tests are recently gaining more importance in educational and psychological measurements. For example, multidimensional diagnostic tests can help students to determine which particular domain of knowledge they need to improve for better performance. To estimate the characteristics of candidate items (calibration) for future multidimensional achievement tests, we use optimal design theory. We generalize a previously developed exchange algorithm for optimal design computation to the multidimensional setting. We also develop an asymptotic theorem saying which item should be calibrated by examinees with extreme abilities. For several examples, we compute the optimal design numerically with the exchange algorithm. We see clear structures in these results and explain them using the asymptotic theorem. Moreover, we investigate the performance of the optimal design in a simulation study.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThe International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) Geriatric Committee aims to improve the use of drugs in older adults and develop new therapeutic approaches for the syndromes and diseases of old age through advocacy, education, and research. In the present paper, we propose strategies relevant to drug development and evaluation, spanning preclinical and the full range of clinical studies. Drugs for older adults need to consider not only age, but also other characteristics common in geriatric patients, such as multimorbidity, polypharmacy, falls, cognitive impairment, and frailty. The IUPHAR Geriatric Committee's position statement on ‘Measurement of Frailty in Drug Development and Evaluation’ is included, highlighting 12 key principles that cover the spectrum of translational research. We propose that where older adults are likely to be major users of a drug, that frailty is measured at baseline and as an outcome. Preclinical models that replicate the age, frailty, duration of exposure, comorbidities, and co‐medications of the proposed patients may improve translation. We highlight the potential application of recent technologies, such as physiologically based pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic modeling informed by frailty biology, and Artificial Intelligence, to inform personalized medicine for older patients. Considerations for the rapidly aging populations in low‐ and middle‐income countries related to health‐care and clinical trials are outlined. Involving older adults, their caregivers and health‐care providers in all phases of research should improve drug development, evaluation, and outcomes for older adults internationally.
Application of Piezosurgery in Revision Surgery through Posterior Approach for Infection after Percutaneous Vertebral Augmentation: Technique Note with Case Series
Authors: Zhang Hao , Wang Qing , Wang Gaoju , Li Guangzhou 
Published: March 2024

ObjectivesPyogenic spondylitis after vertebral augmentation (PSVA) is a severe complication and even threatens the life of patients. How to deal with infectious bone cement is a big problem for surgeons. The application of piezosurgery has advantages in removal the infectious bone cement in limb bone and spinal laminectomy, but it is rarely used in PSVA. So, the present study aimed to introduce the application of piezosurgery in revision surgery for PSVA and report the preliminary radiological and clinical results.MethodsThe data of nine patients with PSVA who had undergone revision surgery were retrospectively reviewed between May 2017 and January 2023 in our hospital. The technique of removal of infectious bone cement and lesion by piezosurgery and the reconstruction of the spinal stability were described, and the operation time and intraoperative blood loss were recorded. Postoperatively, radiographs and computed tomography scans were reviewed to evaluate the condition of bone cement removal, control of infection, and bone fusion. Oswestry disability index (ODI) and visual analog scale (VAS) were assessed pre‐ and postoperatively, and clinical outcomes were assessed using Odom's criteria.ResultsAll patients achieved satisfactory tainted bone cement cleaning and restoration of spinal alignment. The surgical time was 258.8 ± 63.2 (160–360) min, and the intraoperative blood loss was 613.3 ± 223.8 (300–900) mL. The VAS score decreased from 7.0 (6–8) points preoperatively to 2.4 (1–4) points postoperatively. The ODI index decreased from 71% (65%–80%) preoperatively to 20% (10%–30%) postoperatively. The patient's VAS and NDI scores after operation were significantly improved compared with those before surgery (p ≤ 0.05). Odom's outcomes were good for all patients in the last follow‐up, and all patients reported satisfactory results.ConclusionsPiezosurgery can effectively remove large blocks of infectious bone cement through a posterior approach while avoiding nerve and spinal cord damage. We cautiously suggest that a one‐stage posterior approach using piezosurgery is an alternative option for surgical treatment of PSVA.
