Published: February 2024

Purpose
This study aims to identify the role of innovation research in formulating the intellectual structure of the hospitality and tourism literature by performing a bibliometric analysis.

Design/methodology/approach
In total, 6,255 journal articles on innovation were gathered from Scopus and analyzed using co-citation, bibliographic coupling and thematic content analyses. The most influential articles were also carefully read to reveal a nomological network of innovation research in hospitality and tourism scholarship.

Findings
Co-citation analysis reveals that there are six significant clusters in the field of innovation research. Various philosophical underpinnings might be used in different circumstances, with actor-network and Schumpeterian theory playing significant roles. A review of current works using bibliographic coupling reveals five interesting emerging research areas and makes numerous recommendations for when to conduct more studies. A review of influential articles displayed differences between the co-citation and bibliographic coupling analysis findings and produced a framework for further investigation of the knowledge field.

Originality/value
This paper is among the first integrative reviews on innovation research in hospitality and tourism by quantitatively reviewing published articles and qualitatively reviewing the content of the most influential studies.
Healthy at Home: an integrated health and social care initiative for vulnerable and marginalized older adults in Toronto
Authors: Cheng Siu Mee , Catallo Cristina 
Published: February 2024

PurposeThe Healthy at Home (H@H) is an older adult day program that is in Toronto in Ontario, Canada. This is an integrated health and social care (IHSC) program that seeks to address the social isolation and health needs of a highly vulnerable older adult population living in the north Toronto communities. These are Russian-speaking Jewish older adult immigrants. The case provides a detailed description of the factors that enabled a diverse group of health and social care organizations to integrate their respective services to address the health and social care needs of their clients using a culturally appropriate and trauma-informed lens.Design/methodology/approachA case description comprised of key informant interviews, and a focus group was undertaken of representatives from health and social care organizations serving clients in the north Toronto area.FindingsThis case description identified eleven integration factors that enabled organizations to provide integrated care using a culturally appropriate and trauma-informed lens, and they include developing an aligned vision and goals, communications, an inter-organization culture of inter-dependence, champions, pre-existing relationships, and champions. In addition, operating in the not-for-profit sector, sector differences, enabling public policies and a strong sense of community have influenced integration of services across the organizational partners to serve its high-risk client group.Originality/valueThis case description lends insights into how IHSC can be leveraged to provide culturally appropriate and trauma-informed care for highly vulnerable client/patient populations. A lesson learnt is that social care partners can engage in successful integration leadership in joint health and social care integration efforts.
Brand heritage on Twitter: a text-mining stereotype content perspective
Authors: Mähnert Lydia , Meyer Caroline , Orth Ulrich R. , Rose Gregory M. 
Published: February 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine how users on social media view brands with a heritage. Consumers commonly post opinions and accounts of their experiences with brands on social media. Such consumer-generated content may or may not overlap with content desired by brand managers. Drawing from “The medium is the message” paradigm, this study text-mines user narratives on Twitter1 to shed light on the role of social media in shaping public images of brands with heritage through the lens of the stereotype content model.

Design/methodology/approach
The study uses a data set of almost 80,000 unique tweets on 12 brands across six categories, compares brands high versus low in heritage and combines dictionary-based content analysis with sentiment analysis.

Findings
The results indicate that both user-generated content and sentiment are significantly more positive for brands low rather than high in heritage. Regarding warmth, consumers use significantly more positive words on sociability and fewer negative words on morality for brands low rather than high in heritage. Regarding competence, tweets include more positive words on assertiveness and ability for low-heritage brands. Finally, overall sentiment is more positive for brands low rather than high in heritage.

Practical implications
Important from co-creation and integrated marketing communication perspectives, the findings provide brand managers with actionable insights on how to more effectively use social media.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this research is among the first to examine user-generated content in a brand heritage context. It demonstrates that heritage brands, with their longevity and strong links to the past, need to be aware of how contemporary social media can detract from their image.
Agricultural insurance and pesticides selection in China: traditional or green?
Authors: Zhang Zhuang , Chen You Hua 
Published: February 2024

PurposeNumerical literature shows that agricultural insurance can affect pesticide investments, but few of them are devoted to explain how agricultural insurance affects farmers’ selection on green or traditional pesticides. This paper aims to develop a theoretical model about how agricultural insurance influences on green pesticides selections and tests our conclusions by using the data from China land economic survey (CLES) from 2020 to 2021.Design/methodology/approachWe employ probit model to capture the effects of agricultural insurance on green pesticides adoption.FindingsWe indicate that green pesticides have a stronger effect on stabilizing yield and increasing income than traditional pesticides, but there are still risks disturbing farmers’ decisions on green pesticides usage. By providing premium subsidies after the farmers are affected by natural risk, agricultural insurance improves the farmers’ expected income and encourages farmers to use green pesticides. Further, we further confirm these conclusions by considering different scenarios such as climate risks, farmers’ entrepreneurship and credit constraints. We find that the effects are more salient if croplands are under higher natural risks and, farmers are equipped with entrepreneurship and formal credit. This paper implies that the agricultural insurance decoupled with green technologies also have salient positive effects on agricultural pollution control.Originality/valueThe potential contributions of this paper can be outlined in three aspects in detail. Firstly, this paper aims to revel the effects of agricultural insurance on pesticide selection by structuring a general theoretical model. By using the CLES data from 2020 to 2021, we confirm that agricultural insurance increases the probability for adopting green pesticides. Secondly, this paper discusses the effects of farmers’ characteristics on the results and finds that if farmers have entrepreneurship, the effects of agricultural insurance on green pesticide usage will be more salient. Thirdly, it uncovers some practices in China, which will supply experiences for other developing countries. For example, this paper further demonstrates that “insurance + credit” plan the present Chinese government carried out will be an important measure for strengthening effects of agricultural insurance on green pesticides usage. Moreover, it shows that decouple agricultural policies will also guide farmers to use green technologies eventually if the technologies are reliable and farmers can afford.
Conscientiousness and entrepreneurship
Authors: Khalaf Sarah 
Published: February 2024

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the influence of conscientiousness on entrepreneurship over and above the impact of other factors that are associated with entrepreneurship in the literature.Design/methodology/approachThe design uses household responses from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) biennial survey that follows the same heads of households over time to measure their conscientiousness, businesses owned and other demographic and financial characteristics. Ordinary least squares (OLS), Probit and Poisson regression techniques are applied at the head of household and state level to examine the relationship.FindingsThe results show heads of households’ conscientiousness positively relating to the average number of businesses owned, beyond other Big Five traits and the impact of other characteristics. A one-standard deviation increase in conscientiousness is significantly associated with a 0.012 increase in the number of businesses owned. This association is robust to alternative regression specifications and variable measurements.Originality/valueThe results are original to the finance literature, complementing studies by linking intrinsic head of household-level traits to entrepreneurship while controlling for external financial and demographic factors. The study also attempts to externally validate previous findings using aggregate-level outcomes. The data and setting used to measure personality traits as well as entrepreneurial outcomes are original to the entrepreneurship literature, validating previous findings.
Best of both worlds: Acclimation to fluctuating environments confers advantages and minimizes costs of constant environments
Authors: Hodgson Mitchell J. , Schwanz Lisa E. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Thermal acclimation is often considered critical in organismal responses to novel thermal conditions. Our understanding of the physiological implications of acclimation is largely derived from lab studies that either manipulate daytime basking availability or use of constant thermal regimes. In contrast, the importance of the nocturnal thermal environment (e.g. the extent of thermal respite) is often overlooked yet could play a vital role in thermal acclimation in the wild.

To fill this gap, we acclimated lizards (Amphibolurus muricatus) under three thermal regimes (Hot Constant, Cold Constant and Alternating) and compared their physiological responses (Metabolic Rate, Sprint Speed, Thermal Preferences and Thermal Limits).

We found that animals maintained constantly at hot temperatures (preferred temperature, 35°C) gained sprint performance increases and exhibited shifts in thermal optima not seen in those maintained constantly at cold temperatures (20°C), yet suffered costs to growth (in smaller animals) and maintenance (mass loss in larger animals). Animals maintained at alternating temperatures (12 h 20°C; 12 h 35°C) had performance benefits similar to animals in the hot treatment, without experiencing reductions in juvenile growth and adult mass.

Animals acclimated under hot temperatures showed a significant lower preferred and voluntary maximum temperatures compared to animals acclimated under a cold temperature regime.

We found no impact of acclimation treatment on behavioural thermal limits or standard metabolic rate.

Overall, we show that alternating between access to preferred temperatures and having periods of energetic rest confer the greatest benefits for our animals. These results highlight the importance of natural body temperature variation for enhancing overall ectotherm performance and physiology, and the costs of novel thermal environments that fail to provide this variation.

Published: February 2024

Abstract

A key challenge in the management of populations is to quantify the impact of interventions in the face of environmental and phenotypic variability. However, accurate estimation of the effects of management and environment, in large‐scale ecological research is often limited by the expense of data collection, the inherent trade‐off between quality and quantity, and missing data.

In this paper we develop a novel modelling framework, and demographically informed imputation scheme, to comprehensively account for the uncertainty generated by missing population, management, and herbicide resistance data. Using this framework and a large dataset (178 sites over 3 years) on the densities of a destructive arable weed (Alopecurus myosuroides) we investigate the effects of environment, management, and evolved herbicide resistance, on weed population dynamics.

In this study we quantify the marginal effects of a suite of common management practices, including cropping, cultivation, and herbicide pressure, and evolved herbicide resistance, on weed population dynamics.

Using this framework, we provide the first empirically backed demonstration that herbicide resistance is a key driver of population dynamics in arable weeds at regional scales. Whilst cultivation type had minimal impact on weed density, crop rotation, and earlier cultivation and drill dates consistently reduced infestation severity.

Synthesis and applications: As we demonstrate that high herbicide resistance levels can produce extremely severe weed infestations, monitoring herbicide resistance is a priority for farmers across Western Europe. Furthermore, developing non‐chemical control methods is essential to control current weed populations, and prevent further resistance evolution. We recommend that planning interventions that centre on crop rotation and incorporate spring sewing and cultivation to provide the best reductions in weed densities. More generally, by directly accounting for missing data our framework permits the analysis of management practices with data that would otherwise be severely compromised.
Putting seed traits into pellets: Using seed mass data to improve seed encapsulation technology for native plant revegetation
Authors: Lieurance Paige E. , Mills Charlotte H. , Tetu Sasha G. , Gallagher Rachael V. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Poor seedling emergence often limits the success of direct seeding in ecological restoration. New techniques for maximising seed use efficiency and seedling emergence are needed to help meet global targets for nature repair in the UN Decade on Restoration. Extruded pellets are widely used in agriculture and represent a promising advancement in seed‐based restoration. However, extruded pellets must be optimised for diverse suites of native species that possess a range of seed sizes and morphotypes.

We investigated how seed mass affects the performance of native plant seeds (total % seedling emergence) when encapsulated in extruded pellets designed for revegetation. Two glasshouse trials were undertaken using seeds from 30 native Australian plant species. In Trial 1, we encapsulated seeds in the centre of pellets and determined the relationship between seed mass and emergence. In Trial 2, we encapsulated seeds nearer the periphery of pellets and determined whether the position of seeds (central vs. peripheral) affected emergence for a subset of 10 small‐seeded species. In both trials, emergence from pellets was compared to an optimal, bare‐seeded control to identify any barriers to seed encapsulation under well‐watered conditions.

In Trial 1, when seeds were centrally encapsulated, emergence was generally higher for bare‐seeded controls relative to pelleted seeds. However, seed mass predicted emergence when seeds were encapsulated in the pellet centre (R2 = 0.32, p = 0.002), such that larger‐seeded species tended to have higher emergence than smaller‐seeded species.

In Trial 2, encapsulating seeds nearer the pellet periphery (relative to the centre) resulted in an average 28‐fold increase in emergence for all 10 small‐seeded species. For half of the small‐seeded species trialled, emergence from the pellet periphery was equivalent to that of bare‐seeded controls.

Synthesis and applications: Collectively, our results demonstrate: (1) a positive relationship between seed mass and emergence under central‐encapsulation, and (2) that emergence can be significantly improved for small‐seeded species when seeds are positioned nearer the pellet periphery. Translation of these findings into practice can help optimise emergence outcomes for native species with different sized seeds and nuanced germination requirements.
Facilitation against herbivory more important than resource‐based niche differences for plant coexistence in a field experiment
Authors: Carroll Oliver , MacDougall Andrew S. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Theory suggests that eutrophication impacts plant community biodiversity by constraining niche differences and increasing competitive inequalities among species, leading to the exclusion of weaker competitors. However, explicit tests of nutrient effects on the strength and direction of inter‐ and intraspecific plant–plant interactions that dictate coexistence are lacking, especially in complex field settings where multiple processes can simultaneously affect plant growth and reproduction.

We conducted a field experiment in southeastern Vancouver Island, Canada, using four annual grassland plant species to test how species interactions responded to eutrophication and the covariation of herbivore pressure and neighbour species light‐ and moisture‐use.

We found that focal species reproduction was limited by nutrient availability and herbivory, such that the nature of species interactions was context‐dependent. Competitive interactions failed to predict species persistence under these conditions. Instead, facilitation was critical—phytometers grown without neighbours consistently failed to produce seed under herbivore pressure meaning that fecundity significantly increased with neighbour density.

Synthesis. Our work demonstrates the importance of species interactions in plant community responses to eutrophication but emphasizes that ‘indirect’ drivers of plant performance may influence or overwhelm nutrient effects on plant–plant competition. The widespread occurrence of mortality overcome primarily by facilitation highlights the importance of positive density dependence. Overall, our results suggest that knowledge of resource niche overlap may be insufficient to explain plant community responses to eutrophication. This highlights the necessity of considering the broader environmental context when leveraging ecological theory to understand global change effects in empirical settings.
Population‐wide long‐term study of incidence, renal failure, and mortality rates for lupus nephritis
Authors: Nossent Johannes C. , Keen Helen I. , Preen David B. , Inderjeeth Charles A. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractObjectiveGiven limited regional data, we investigate the state‐wide epidemiology, renal and patient outcomes for lupus nephritis (LN) in Western Australia (WA).MethodsPatients hospitalized with incident SLE (≥2 diagnostic codes in the state‐wide WA Health Hospital Morbidity Data Collection) in the period 1985–2015 were included (n = 1480). LN was defined by the presence of glomerulonephritis and/or raised serum creatinine. Trends over three study decades for annual incidence rate (AIR)/100.000 population, mortality (MR), and end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) rates/100 person years were analyzed by least square regression and compared with a matched control group (n = 12 840).ResultsClinical evidence of LN developed in 366 SLE patients (25.9%) after a median disease duration of 10 months (IQR 0–101) with renal biopsy performed in 308 (84.2%). The AIR for LN (0.63/100.000) did not change significantly over time (R2 = .11, p = .85), while point prevalence reached 11.9/100.000 in 2015. ESRD developed in 14.1% (n = 54) of LN patients vs. 0.2% in non‐LN SLE patients and 0.05% in controls (all p ≤ 0.01). ESRD rates increased over time in LN patients (0.4 to 0.7, R2 = .52, p = .26). The odds ratio for death was 8.81 (CI 3.78–22.9) for LN and 6.62 (CI 2.76–17.9) for non‐LN SLE patients compared to controls and MR for LN patients increased over time (1.3 to 2.2, R2 = .84, p = .26).ConclusionsThe incidence rate of LN in WA remained unchanged over 30 years. A lack of improvement in renal failure and mortality rates illustrates the pressing need for better long‐term treatment options and/or strategies in LN.

AbstractObjectiveThe HEART score successfully risk stratifies emergency department (ED) patients with chest pain in high‐income settings. However, this tool has not been validated in low‐income countries.MethodsThis is a secondary analysis of a prospective observational study that was conducted in a Tanzanian ED from January 2019 through January 2023. Adult patients with chest pain were consecutively enrolled, and their presenting symptoms and medical history were recorded. Electrocardiograms and point‐of‐care troponin assays were obtained for all participants. Thirty‐day follow‐up was conducted, assessing for major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), defined as death, myocardial infarction, or coronary revascularization (coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention). HEART scores were calculated for all participants. Likelihood ratios, sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive values (NPVs) were calculated for each HEART cutoff score to predict 30‐day MACEs, and area under the curve (AUC) was calculated from the receiver operating characteristic curve.ResultsOf 927 participants with chest pain, the median (IQR) age was 61 (45.5–74.0) years. Of participants, 216 (23.3%) patients experienced 30‐day MACEs, including 163 (17.6%) who died, 48 (5.2%) with myocardial infarction, and 23 (2.5%) with coronary revascularization. The positive likelihood ratio for each cutoff score ranged from 1.023 (95% CI 1.004–1.042; cutoff ≥ 1) to 3.556 (95% CI 1.929–6.555; cutoff ≥ 7). The recommended cutoff of ≥4 to identify patients at high risk of MACEs yielded a sensitivity of 59.4%, specificity of 52.8%, and NPV of 74.7%. The AUC was 0.61.ConclusionsAmong patients with chest pain in a Tanzanian ED, the HEART score did not perform as well as in high‐income settings. Locally validated risk stratification tools are needed for ED patients with chest pain in low‐income countries.
