Building an organizational legacy: four key principles for responsible leadership
Authors: Welch James 
Published: March 2024

Purpose
In response to the prevalent emphasis on short-term leadership, this article introduces a leadership framework that emphasizes four essential principles. These principles are aimed at promoting long-term effectiveness and sustainability in organizations centered on responsible leadership. These principles include developing long-term orientation, embracing organizational diversity, demonstrating emotional intelligence, and prioritizing ethical decision-making. These responsible leadership principles play a critical role in fostering long-term organizational success.

Design/methodology/approach
This article presents a conceptual framework that organizes and structures the key concepts, ideas, and theories regarding organizational effectiveness and long term viability.

Findings
For a responsible leader to establish a lasting social legacy and foster sustainable development, it is crucial for them to cultivate a robust and viable corporate culture, built around these four leadership principles. These principles bear witness to the fact that true evidence of sustainable leadership achievement emerges only after the leader's departure. Responsible leaders, through their track record, leave behind a social legacy by nurturing long-term organizational viability. To ensure a positive and enduring legacy beyond their leadership tenure, leaders can adopt these five principles that provide a foundation for the organization to thrive well into the future.

Originality/value
In the modern context, many leaders hesitate to make tough decisions due to the prevailing focus on immediate results. Followers, stakeholders, and investors prioritize quick responses, often at the expense of long-term considerations. However, by prioritizing the implementation of these four principles, leaders can overcome the allure of immediate gratification and instead, shift their focus toward long-term success measured in years, not just months. In leadership, the legacy left behind holds greater significance than we often realize, and recognizing this importance is crucial for the future prosperity of our organizations.

Authors: Purandare Saloni , Xiang Chunhui 
Published: March 2024

PurposeFirefighter Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the only barrier between the firefighter and hazardous environment. Gloves are a crucial component of the multi-component PPE. Over time the gloves have reduced the intensity of hand injuries, yet further improvement in terms of material selection and glove design is required to strike the balance between protection and comfort. Focusing on the material aspect, the purpose of this study is to present literature analysis on material selection and testing for firefighter gloves.Design/methodology/approachThe study conducted a literature analysis on material selection and characterization of firefighter PPE. The review summarizes and evaluates past work addressing the characterization of firefighter gloves in accordance with NFPA 1971 requirements and points out found research gaps to aid with foundation of future research.FindingsThe study summarizes several research works to inform readers about the material selection and characterization of firefighter gloves. Based on the analyzed literature, the study resulted in material specification sheets for firefighter gloves. The developed material specification sheets provide information in terms of crucial material properties to be incorporated for accurate functioning of firefighter gloves, testing methods to validate those material properties and materials from analyzed literature exhibiting desired properties.Originality/valueWith large research addressing firefighter PPE, only limited studies focus specifically on gloves. Thus, this study provides a literature analysis covering material selection and testing for gloves. A consolidated firefighter gloves material specification document, which does not appear to be available in the literature, will provide a foundation for the development and characterization of firefighter gloves to better serve the functions along with ensuring user comfort.

Authors: Sharma Ankita , Sharma Swati 
Published: March 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to present a review of small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) literature on the adoption of technology for marketing with the objective the knowledge trajectory from SMEs to tourism SMEs (TSMEs) and presents a research agenda for the adoption of digital marketing among TSMEs.

Design/methodology/approach
The quantitative literature review method is adopted to analyze 50 articles published in high-ranking journals from 2011–2021. The selected papers were reviewed to quantitatively present the popular theoretical frameworks, constructs and research methods used for the adoption of digital marketing among SMEs and to present a future research agenda in the context of TSMEs.

Findings
The findings present a review of theoretical approaches, research design, methods, and models used by researchers, and identify new directions for future research in the context of the adoption of digital marketing among TSMEs. The paper presents a theoretical critique of the technology adoption theories and builds on diffusion of innovation theory, technology–organization–environment (TOE), and institutional theory to propose an expanded model to study digital marketing adoption among TSMEs.

Research limitations/implications
The article presents a significant advancement in the theoretical understanding of the adoption of digital marketing by offering the application of the TOE framework with moderating role of mimetic and normative pressures. Thus, the study contributes to the scarce research on institutional theory in the context of services (tourism) and offers an alternative and holistic perception to study digital marketing. The research model serves as an organizing tool for future researchers and practitioners to probe and further augment knowledge development in tourism and TSMEs.

Originality/value
Negligible published work on TSMEs makes this study valuable and the proposed model gives strategic information in the given context.
Modelling in Support of Better Agricultural and Food Policies: the JRC's Integrated Agro‐economic Modelling platform (iMAP)
Authors: Barreiro‐Hurle Jesus , Fellmann Thomas , M'barek Robert 
Published: March 2024

SummaryResearch in the area of agro‐economic modelling has been one of the key contributions of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) to the development of better agri‐food policies in the EU. This article provides an overview of the development of the JRC's integrated agro‐economic modelling platform since its establishment in 2005. We highlight the main contributions to policy analysis and describe in detail two key areas, namely the provision of medium‐term projections for agricultural markets and the analysis of various CAP proposals. Furthermore, we describe the gradual shift to expand the capabilities of individual models within the platform to encompass aspects beyond traditional agro‐economic aspects and incorporate environmental considerations. Model integration remains a focus both within the platform at different levels and scales, and in conjunction with biophysical models. This, together with incorporating knowledge from other fields of economic analysis is fundamental to capture changing policy objectives.

Published: March 2024

AbstractIntroductionVaricocoele is commonly encountered in males with infertility. Studies have shown that varicocoele repair (surgery or embolisation) can improve the rate of subsequent pregnancy. In Australia, there have been no studies assessing the cost of varicocoele embolisation and current practice is based on international data. This study aimed to assess the cost of varicocoele embolisation and estimate the treatment cost per pregnancy.MethodsRetrospective cost‐outcome study of patients treated by embolisation between January 2018 and 2023. A bottom‐up approach was used to calculate procedure costs whereas a top‐down approach was used to calculate costs for all other patient services, including direct and indirect costs. To calculate cost per pregnancy, costs were adjusted according to existing published data on the rate of pregnancy after embolisation.ResultsCosting data from 18 patients were included, of median age 33.5 years (range 26–60) and median varicocoele grade 2.5 (range 1–3). All patients had unilateral treatment, most commonly via right internal jugular (16 patients, 89%) and using a 0.035″ system (17 patients, 94%). The median cost for the entire treatment including procedural, non‐procedural, ward and peri‐procedural costs was AUD$2208.10 (USD$1405 or EUR€1314), range AUD$1691–7051. The projected cost to the healthcare system per pregnancy was AUD$5387 (USD$3429 or EUR€3207).ConclusionTotal varicocoele embolisation cost and the cost per‐pregnancy were lower than for both embolisation and surgical repair in existing international studies. Patients undergoing varicocoele treatment should have the option to access an interventional radiologist to realise the benefits of this low‐cost pinhole procedure.

Published: March 2024

ABSTRACTUnderstanding more about the discharge of care orders is vital—whether a care order remains in place has significant implications for children and their families and for local authorities. While there has been comprehensive research about the process and outcomes of care proceedings, much less is known about the discharge of care orders—particularly how, why and when care orders are ended and the differences between applications that are granted and those that are not. The present study combined data from an anonymized administrative data on discharge applications, a detailed analysis of children's e‐records and qualitative interviews with family justice professionals to create the first detailed profile of discharge applications across England and Wales. This paper reports, for the first time, the number of discharge applications and outcomes across England and Wales, highlighting regional as well as between‐country variation. Drawing on data from children's e‐records and interviews with professionals, highlighting how and why local authorities are more likely to submit discharge applications, and to have applications granted, than parents. Recommendations are made for how to adapt professional practice and policy around discharge applications to better meet the needs of children and families.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackgroundInflammation and oxidative stress are considered crucial to the pathogenesis of depression. Rat models of depression can be created by combined treatments of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Behaviors associated with depression could be improved by treatment with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) owing to immunomodulatory functions of the cells. Therapeutic potentials of the MSCs to reverse pro‐inflammatory cytokines, proteins, and metabolites were identified by transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analysis, respectively.MethodsA depression model was established in male SD rats by 2 weeks of CUMS combined with LPS. The models were verified by behavioral tests, namely SPT, OFT, EPM, and qRT‐PCR for pro‐inflammatory cytokines. Such depressed rats were administered human umbilical cord MSCs (hUC‐MSCs) via the tail vein once a week for 2 and 4 weeks. The homing capacity was confirmed by detection of the fluorescent dye on day 7 after the hUC‐MSCs were labeled with CM‐Dil and administered. The expression of GFAP in astrocytes serves as a biomarker of CNS disorders and IBA1 in microglia serves as a marker of microglia activation were detected by immunohistochemistry at 2 and 4 weeks after final administration of hUC‐MSCs. At the same time, transcriptomics of rat hippocampal tissue, proteomic and metabolomic analysis of the serum from the normal, depressed, and treated rats were also compared.ResultsReliable models of rat depression were successfully induced by treatments of CUMS combined with LPS. Rat depression behaviors, pro‐inflammatory cytokines, and morphological disorders of the hippocampus associated with depression were reversed in 4 weeks by hUC‐MSC treatment. hUC‐MSCs could reach the hippocampus CA1 region through the blood circulation on day 7 after administration owing to the disruption of blood brain barrier (BBB) by microglial activation from depression. Differentiations of whole‐genome expression, protein, and metabolite profiles between the normal and depression‐modeled rats, which were analyzed by transcriptomic, proteomics, and metabolomics, further verified the high association with depression behaviors.ConclusionsRat depression can be reversed or recovered by treatment with hUC‐MSCs.

AbstractAimsTo investigate the risk factors for early‐onset psychosis in Parkinson's disease (PD) in a cohort of patients from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative.MethodsLongitudinal data on motor and non‐motor features, dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) measurements were collected. The survival probability of psychotic symptoms, potential risk factors for psychosis development over a 5‐year follow‐up period, and the performance of the prediction model were evaluated.ResultsAmong the 338 newly diagnosed patients with PD, 83 developed psychotic symptoms. Gastrointestinal autonomic dysfunction, presence of probable rapid‐eye‐movement sleep behavior disorder, and the ratio Aβ42: total‐tau could independently predict onset of psychosis in PD (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.157, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.022–1.309, p = 0.021, HR = 2.596, 95% CI 1.287–5.237, p = 0.008, and HR = 0.842, 95% CI 0.723–0.980, p = 0.027, respectively). The combined model integrating baseline clinical predictors, DAT imaging, and CSF measurements achieved better sensitivity than the clinical predictors alone (area under the curve = 0.770 [95% CI 0.672–0.868] vs. 0.714 [95% CI 0.625–0.802], p = 0.098).ConclusionWe identified clinical and CSF predictors of early‐onset psychosis in patients with PD. Our study provides evidence and implications for prognostic stratification and therapeutic approaches for PD psychosis.
Niche overlap with an exotic competitor mediates the abundant niche‐centre relationship for a native lady beetle
Authors: Petersen Matthew J. , Losey John E. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractAimThe abundant niche‐centre hypothesis has been used to describe patterns of species abundance relative to position in ecological niche space. Such relationships, however, are inconsistently recovered and may be obscured due to non‐equilibrium distributions, such as those caused novel interactions with exotic species. Here, we explore patterns of fitness for the nine‐spotted lady (Coccinella novemnotata) following the introduction of an exotic competitor, the seven‐spotted lady beetle (C. septempunctata). We examine how niche overlap between species may be causing a range reduction for C. novemnotata through a modified abundant niche‐centre relationship.LocationNorth America.MethodsWe applied a time‐oriented view of the abundant niche‐centre relationship for C. novemnotata, both before and after the introduction of C. septempunctata. We tested for both niche overlap and correlation between C. novemnotata body size (i.e. fitness) and the distance from its niche centroid relative to the invasion status of C. septempunctata.ResultsThe current niche space currently occupied by C. novemnotata is equivalent to its historic niche but has shifted to avoid overlap with C. septempunctata. A historic abundant niche‐centre relationship with larger individuals closer to the niche centroid was observed for C. novemnotata. However, this pattern changed to have smaller beetles near the niche centroid when the current distribution was considered.Main ConclusionsFitness patterns displayed by C. novemnotata are effectively described by the abundant niche‐centre hypothesis. However, this relationship was modified with the introduction of C. septempunctata. Coccinella novemnotata is not excluded from previously suitable areas that correspond to niche space nearest to its niche centroid. Abundant niche‐centre relationships may provide strong predictions of species' fitness across a species geographic range; however, these relationships may be obscured by novel pressures resulting in non‐equilibrium states.

Published: March 2024

AbstractAimAs climate change increases the frequency and severity of droughts in many regions, conservation during drought is becoming a major challenge for ecologists. Droughts are multidimensional climate events whose impacts may be moderated by changes in temperature, water availability or food availability, or some combination of these. Simultaneously, other stressors such as extensive anthropogenic landscape modification may synergize with drought. Useful observational models for guiding conservation decision‐making during drought require multidimensional, dynamic representations to disentangle possible drought impacts, and consequently, they will require large, highly resolved data sets. In this paper, we develop a two‐stage predictive framework for assessing how drought impacts vary with species, habitats and climate pathways.LocationCentral Valley, California, USA.MethodsWe used a two‐stage counterfactual analysis combining predictive linear mixed models and N‐mixture models to characterize the multidimensional impacts of drought on 66 bird species. We analysed counts from the eBird participatory science data set between 2010 and 2019 and produced species‐ and habitat‐specific estimates of the impact of drought on relative abundance.ResultsWe found that while fewer than a quarter (16/66) of species experienced abundance declines during drought, nearly half of all species (27/66) changed their habitat associations during drought. Among species that shifted their habitat associations, the use of natural habitats declined during drought while use of developed habitat and perennial agricultural habitat increased.Main ConclusionsOur findings suggest that birds take advantage of agricultural and developed land with artificial irrigation and heat‐buffering microhabitat structure, such as in orchards or parks, to buffer drought impacts. A working lands approach that promotes biodiversity and mitigates stressors across a human‐induced water gradient will be critical for conserving birds during drought.

ObjectivesThis consensus was developed by the Asian EUS Group (AEG), who aimed to formulate a set of practice guidelines addressing various aspects of endoscopic ultrasound‐guided tissue acquisition (EUS‐TA).MethodsThe AEG initiated the development of consensus statements and formed an expert panel comprising surgeons, gastroenterologists, and pathologists. Three online consensus meetings were conducted to consolidate the statements and votes. The statements were presented and discussed in the first two consensus meetings and revised according to comments. Final voting was conducted at a third consensus meeting. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system was adopted to define the strength of the recommendations and quality of evidence.ResultsA total of 20 clinical questions and statements regarding EUS‐TA were formulated. The committee recommended that fine‐needle biopsy (FNB) needles be preferred over conventional fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) needles for EUS‐TA of subepithelial lesions. For solid pancreatic masses, rapid on‐site evaluation is not routinely recommended when FNB needles are used. For dedicated FNB needles, fork‐tip and Franseen‐tip needles have essentially equivalent performance.ConclusionThis consensus provides guidance for EUS‐TA, thereby enhancing the quality of EUS‐TA.

ObjectivesThere are several types of colorectal cancer (CRC) according to the detection methods and intervals, including interval CRC (iCRC) and postcolonoscopy CRC (PCCRC). We aimed to examine their proportions and characteristics.MethodsWe conducted a multicenter prospective study using questionnaires in Japan (“C‐DETECT study”), in which differences in CRC characteristics according to detection methods and intervals were examined from consecutive adult patients. Because the annual fecal immunochemical test (FIT) was used in population‐based screening, the annual FIT‐iCRC was assessed.ResultsIn total, 1241 CRC patients (1064 with invasive CRC) were included. Annual FIT‐iCRC (a), 3‐year PCCRC (b), and CRC detected within 1 year after a positive FIT with noncompliance to colonoscopy (c) accounted for 4.5%, 7.0%, and 3.9% of all CRCs, respectively, and for 3.9%, 5.4%, and 4.3% of invasive CRCs, respectively. The comparison among these (a, b, c) and other CRCs (d) demonstrated differences in the proportions of ≥T2 invasion ([a] 58.9%, [b] 44.8%, [c] 87.5%, [d] 73.0%), metastasis ([a] 33.9%, [b] 21.8%, [c] 54.2%, [d] 43.9%), right‐sided CRC ([a] 42.9%, [b] 40.2%, [c] 18.8%, [d] 28.6%), and female sex ([a] 53.6%, [b] 49.4%, [c] 27.1%, [d] 41.6%). In metastatic CRC, (a) and (b) showed a higher proportions of BRAF mutations ([a] [b] 12.0%, [c] [d] 3.1%).ConclusionsAnnual FIT‐iCRC and 3‐year PCCRC existed in nonnegligible proportions. They were characterized by higher proportions of right‐sided tumors, female sex, and BRAF mutations. These findings suggest that annual FIT‐iCRC and 3‐year PCCRC may have biological features different from those of other CRCs.
