HRM practices in the public service: a measurement model
Authors: Demo Gisela , Costa Ana Carolina Rezende , Coura Karla Veloso 
Published: February 2024

Purpose
Considering the significant increase in researchers’ interest in human resource management (HRM) in the public sector domain, this study aims to focus on producing a scale of HRM practices customized for the context of public organizations.

Design/methodology/approach
Experts and semantic analysis were performed for the scale development (qualitative stage), and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis through structural equation modeling was conducted for the scale validation (quantitative stage).

Findings
The public HRM practices scale (public HRMPS) is composed of 19 items, distributed along four factors/dimensions, named training, development and education; relationship; work conditions; and competency and performance appraisal. The scale showed evidence of internal and construct validity (convergent, divergent, criterion-related and discriminant), as well as reliability and content validity.

Research limitations/implications
The public HRMPS can be applied in relational studies to test structural models of prediction, mediation and moderation to evaluate relationships with organizational behavior variables, such as leader-members exchange, engagement at work, life quality at work and well-being at work, among others.

Practical implications
The public HRMPS may also serve as a useful diagnostic tool for the decision-making process made by public managers so they can promote a strategic, evidence-based HRM. Furthermore, the transforming role of strategic HRM can be operationalized by adopting practices gathered in the public HRMPS, advancing toward new HRM strategies to promote healthier and more productive work environments.

Social implications
Healthier and more productive environments translate into real impacts for society, the first beneficiary of public services with more quality, efficiency and accountability.

Originality/value
The public HRMPS is the first attempt to produce an operationally valid and reliable measure to evaluate strategic HRM practices, responding to calls in the literature concerning the need for an integrated, comprehensive and customized HRM practices scale for the public service context.
The relationships between political-economic typology and public service satisfaction: an empirical evidence from Türkiye
Authors: Kurt Merve , Çelikay Ferdi 
Published: February 2024

Purpose
There are many factors that determine consumers’ satisfaction. Specifically, the current study examines how political-economic views affect the perception of public services. This study also aims to extend the relationship between public service satisfaction and political-economic opinion from an empirical perspective.

Design/methodology/approach
The analysis process is carried out with the Microdataset of the Life Satisfaction Survey. Independent sample t-test which compares individual public service satisfaction ratings and ordinal probit regression models assesses the impacts of political-economic attitude on public service satisfaction.

Findings
According to the findings, household size and gender impact public service satisfaction. Again, service satisfaction diminishes as the education level rises. Moreover, a person’s political-economic view affects their public service satisfaction. The study has the potential to literature in terms of determining society’s political-economic view on public services with these empirical results.

Research limitations/implications
The study’s use of the state as a point of reference and quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the service exchange between the citizen and the state is a significant difference in the literature. Also, unlike the other studies, this one used microdata to test the relationship between the political-economic type and the level of satisfaction with public services at different levels. It is thought that future studies on the determinants of public service satisfaction, to be carried out in different country samples, will contribute to the field.

Practical implications
This study has implications on whether the perception of public service varies according to partisanship status.

Social implications
This study has implications on whether the perception of public service varies according to partisanship status.

Originality/value
This study determines the interaction between the political-economic typology derived from microdata and the satisfaction level variables related to public services offered at different levels. It also evaluates how public service satisfaction differs regarding personality traits and political-economic attitudes.

Purpose
Understanding the multifaceted images of tourism destinations is critical for effective destination marketing and management strategies. Traditional approaches, including conceptualization of destination images or analysis of their antecedents and consequences, are commonly used. This study aims to advocate the inclusion of visitors’ latent profiles based on cognitive images to enrich the evaluation and formulation of destination marketing and management strategies.

Design/methodology/approach
The analysis focuses on Serbia, an emerging destination, that attracts an increasing number of first-time, repeat and prospective visitors. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used to test the potential dimensions (tangible and intangible cultural destination; infrastructural and accessible destination; active, nature and family destination; sensory and hospitable destination; and welcoming, value for money (VFM) and safe destination) of the cognitive destination image factors scale while subtypes (profiles) were obtained using latent profile analysis (LPA).

Findings
The cognitive image component encompasses the perceived attributes of a destination, whether derived from direct experience or acquired through other means. The study identified the following profiles: conventional destination; sensory and hospitable destination; welcoming, VFM and safe destination; secure and active family destination and accessible cultural destination, which are presented individually with their sociodemographic assets.

Originality/value
The main contribution of the paper is the application of a novel method (LPA) for profiling visitor segments based on cognitive destination image. From a theoretical perspective, this research contributes to the extant body of literature pertaining to the destination image, thereby facilitating the identification of discrete latent visitor segments and elucidating noteworthy differences among them concerning a cognitive image.

Abstract

Many African large carnivore populations are declining due to decline of the herbivore populations on which they depend. The densities of apex carnivores like the lion and spotted hyena correlate strongly with prey density, but competitively subordinate carnivores like the African wild dog benefit from competitive release when the density of apex carnivores is low, so the expected effect of a simultaneous decrease in resources and dominant competitors is not obvious.

Wild dogs in Zambia's South Luangwa Valley Ecosystem occupy four ecologically similar areas with well‐described differences in the densities of prey and dominant competitors due to spatial variation in illegal offtake.

We used long‐term monitoring data to fit a Bayesian integrated population model (IPM) of the demography and dynamics of wild dogs in these four regions. The IPM used Leslie projection to link a Cormack–Jolly–Seber model of area‐specific survival (allowing for individual heterogeneity in detection), a zero‐inflated Poisson model of area‐specific fecundity and a state‐space model of population size that used estimates from a closed mark–capture model as the counts from which (latent) population size was estimated.

The IPM showed that both survival and reproduction were lowest in the region with the lowest density of preferred prey (puku, Kobus vardonii and impala, Aepyceros melampus), despite little use of this area by lions. Survival and reproduction were highest in the region with the highest prey density and intermediate in the two regions with intermediate prey density. The population growth rate () was positive for the population as a whole, strongly positive in the region with the highest prey density and strongly negative in the region with the lowest prey density.

It has long been thought that the benefits of competitive release protect African wild dogs from the costs of low prey density. Our results show that the costs of prey depletion overwhelm the benefits of competitive release and cause local population decline where anthropogenic prey depletion is strong. Because competition is important in many guilds and humans are affecting resources of many types, it is likely that similarly fundamental shifts in population limitation are arising in many systems.

Published: February 2024

AbstractCreativity is key for organizations’ ability to remain relevant in today's disruptive world. In this paper, we identify new ways in which organizations can use artificial intelligence (AI) more effectively for creativity. Drawing on the resource‐based view as a background mechanism, we developed and empirically tested a new integrative model. We collected the research data via a large survey of managers distributed to 600 organizations in China. Our findings show that coupling AI capability with strategic agility can directly support creativity. It also mediates the effects of ambidexterity, customer orientation and competitor orientation on organizations’ creativity and performance when developing new products and services. In addition, our findings show that coupling AI capability and strategic agility can significantly improve firms’ new product creativity and new service development performance when there is a high level of government institutional support. Our findings provide theoretical and practical implications for academics and practitioners interested in managing AI for organizational creativity.

Published: February 2024

AbstractObjectiveTo assess whether labour variables (i.e. individuals characteristics, labour characteristics and medical interventions) impact maternal and newborn microbiomes.DesignProspective monocentric study.SettingSaint‐Joseph Hospital tertiary maternity unit, in Paris, France.PopulationAll consecutive primiparous women with a physiological pregnancy and term labour from 15 April to 1 June 2017.Methods16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing of the maternal vaginal, newborn skin and newborn oral microbiomes from 58 mother–baby dyads.Main outcome measuresAnalysis of the effects of 19 labour variables on the composition and diversity of these microbiomes.ResultsThe 19 labour variables explained a significant part of the variability in the vaginal, newborn oral and skin microbiomes (44%–67%). Strikingly, duration of rupture of membranes was the single factor that explained the greatest variability (adjusted R2: 7.7%–8.4%, p ≤ 0.002) and conditioned, by itself, the compositions of the three microbiomes under study. Long duration of rupture of membranes was specifically associated with a lower relative abundance of the Lactobacillus genus (1.7‐fold to 68‐fold reduction, p < 0.0001) as well as an increase in microbiome diversity, including genera implicated in nosocomial infections. The effects of duration of rupture of membranes were also present in newborns delivered by non‐elective caesarean section.ConclusionsMaternal and newborn microbiomes were greatly affected by labour variables. Duration of rupture of membranes, even in non‐elective caesarean sections, should be considered in epidemiological and microbiological studies, as well as in vaginal seeding practices.

Published: February 2024

AbstractA list of species of Lepidoptera, aquatic insects, and higher plant species inhabiting 22 National parks in Korea was compiled. A similarity analysis was performed to compare all National parks, and cladograms were constructed. In the case of higher plants, those inhabiting the Hallasan region were categorized as a separate group, while the plants living in National parks located near the southern and western coasts formed one group, and other terrestrial National parks were divided into two groups as follows: the Taebaek Mountain range/adjacent mountain group and the others group. Species of Lepidoptera, which appear to be related to plants, in the Hallasan, Taebaeksan, Taeanhaean, and Bukhansan mountains were each classified independently, and those in the Hallyeohaesang, Dadohaehaesang, Naejangsan, and Byeonsanbando in the southern and western parts of Korea were classified as a single group. In case of aquatic insects, those in the Hallasan, Taeanhaean, and Bukhansan region were categorized in independent groups, and other terrestrial National parks were placed in one group with high similarity. A similarity analysis was performed through a detailed classification of the habitats in National parks revealed that marine‐coastal National parks particularly showed low similarity with other mountainous National parks. In addition, other terrestrial National parks were further grouped into large and small National parks. Comparing the subject map that divided Korea into climate, vegetation, and topography, some marine‐coastal National park areas were confirmed to be distinguished from other areas. Furthermore, similarity analysis revealed that Gangwon‐do and Baekdu‐Daegan regions in Gyeongsangbuk‐do were categorized into one group with high similarity.

AbstractAimTo investigate the clinical characteristics, DMARD treatment pattern, remission rate, and factors associated with disease remission of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in Indonesia.MethodA multicenter survey was conducted in 2019–2020 involving 16 hospitals in Indonesia. Inclusion criteria were RA patients who fulfilled the 2010 ACR/EULAR classification criteria, were aged ≥18 years, and have been treated with 1 DMARD or more for at least 6 months, with exclusion criteria being the co‐existence of other autoimmune diseases or pain syndromes. Disease activities and remission rate were defined using DAS28‐ESR.ResultsA total of 870 patients were completed for analysis. Remission was achieved in 24.5% of patients, while low disease activity in 18.5%, moderate disease activity in 44.6%, and high disease activity in 12.4%. The distribution of conventional DMARDs from subjects was methotrexate 69.9%, leflunomide 15.9%, sulfasalazine 12.0%, chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine 8.9%, and cyclosporine 4.8%. Patients treated with biologic DMARDs were only 0.3%. The mean methotrexate dose was 11.2 ± 4.0 mg/week, and the mean methotrexate duration was 45.1 ± 36.6 months. The majority of patients received glucocorticoids (65.5%). 71.1% received DMARD monotherapy, while 28.9% had combined DMARDs. According to the multivariate analysis, delayed time to diagnosis and treatment (>6 months), DMARD monotherapy, and glucocorticoid use were negatively associated with disease remission.ConclusionThe remission rate of Indonesian RA patients is 24.5%, and low disease activity is 18.5%. Methotrexate and leflunomide are the most frequent conventional DMARDs used. Delayed diagnosis, delayed treatment, and DMARD monotherapy contributed to the current low remission rate in Indonesia.

Published: February 2024

AbstractThe abundance of literature on ethical concerns regarding artificial intelligence (AI) highlights the need to systematize, integrate, and categorize existing efforts through a systematic literature review. The article aims to investigate prevalent concerns, proposed solutions, and prominent ethical approaches within the field. Considering 309 articles from the beginning of the publications in this field up until December 2021, this systematic literature review clarifies what the ethical concerns regarding AI are, and it charts them into two groups: (i) ethical concerns that arise from the design of AI and (ii) ethical concerns that arise from human–AI interactions. The analysis of the obtained sample highlights the most recurrent ethical concerns. Finally, it exposes the main proposals of the literature to handle the ethical concerns according to the main ethical approaches. It interprets the findings to lay the foundations for future research on the ethics of AI.

Published: February 2024

AbstractBackgroundBipolar depression is the major cause of morbidity in patients with bipolar disorder. It affects psychosocial functioning and markedly impairs occupational productivity. Anhedonia is one of the most debilitating symptoms of depression contributing to treatment resistance. It correlates with suicidality, low quality of life, social withdrawal, and poor treatment response. Currently, there is no approved treatment specifically targeting anhedonia. Emerging evidence suggests that ketamine possesses anti‐anhedonic properties in individuals with depression.ObjectivesThe aim of this naturalistic open‐label study was to investigate the effect of add‐on ketamine treatment on anhedonia in treatment resistant bipolar depression.MethodsOur main interest was the change in patient‐reported (Snaith‐Hamilton Pleasure Scale) and rater‐based anhedonia measure (Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale‐anhedonia subscale). The secondary aim was to analyze the score change in three Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology‐Self Report (IDS‐SR) domains: mood/cognition, anxiety/somatic, and sleep. Patients underwent assessments at several time points, including baseline, after the third, fifth, and seventh ketamine infusions. Additionally, a follow‐up assessment was conducted 1 week following the final ketamine administration.ResultsWe found improvement in anhedonia symptoms according to both patient‐reported and rater‐based measures. The improvement in IDS‐SR domains was most prominent in anxiety/somatic factor and mood/cognition factor, improvement in sleep factor was not observed. No serious adverse events occurred.ConclusionAdd‐on ketamine seems to be a good choice for the treatment of anhedonia in treatment resistant bipolar depression. It also showed a good effect in reducing symptoms of anxiety in this group of patients. Considering unmet needs and the detrimental effect of anhedonia and anxiety, more studies are needed on ketamine treatment in resistant bipolar depression.
The impact of preferential market access: British imports into Canada, 1892–1903
Authors: Keay Ian , Varian Brian D. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractCanada initiated the formation of the (modern) imperial trade bloc in 1897 when it extended preferential market access to imports from Britain. British goods initially received a preferential reduction of one eighth of the applicable duty, rising to one quarter in 1898 and one third in 1900. Because duties varied across imported commodities, the uniform relative margins of preference resulted in cross‐commodity variation in the absolute margins of preference. This cross‐commodity variation is exploited in our paper. Relying on a data set that includes over 32,000 Canadian import products, we find that a 1 percentage‐point increase in the absolute margin of preference was associated with a 5.4% increase in the value of imports from Britain. Counterfactually, if Canada had not adopted a preferential trade policy, by 1903, the value of British imports into Canada would have been reduced by approximately one half.
Person‐reported outcomes in diabetes care: What are they and why are they so important?
Authors: Hermanns Norbert , Kulzer Bernhard , Ehrmann Dominic 
Published: February 2024

AbstractIn this review, we aim to show how person‐reported outcomes (PROs) and person‐reported experiences (PREs) can significantly contribute to the way diabetes care is delivered, the involvement of people with diabetes in diabetes care, and the collaboration between health care professionals and people with diabetes. This review focuses on the definition and measurement of PROs and PREs, the importance of PROs and PREs for person‐centred diabetes care, and integrating the perspectives of people with diabetes in the evaluation of medical, psychological and technological interventions. PROs have been increasingly accepted by Health Technology Assessment bodies and are therefore valued in the context of reimbursement decisions and consequently by regulators and other health care stakeholders for the allocation of health care resources. Furthermore, the review identified current challenges to the assessment and use of PROs and PREs in clinical care and research. These challenges relate to the combination of questionnaires and ecological momentary assessment for measuring PROs and PREs, lack of consensus on a core outcome set, limited sensitivity to change within many measures and insufficient standardization of what can be considered a minimal clinically important difference. Another issue that has not been sufficiently addressed is the involvement of people with diabetes in the design and development of measures to assess PROs and PREs.
