Authors: Kassem Rasha 
Published: November 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to discuss the impact of fraud on individuals’ wellbeing by drawing on insights from the academic literature. It also highlights literature gaps and suggests new avenues for future research.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper is based on a comprehensive literature review to gain insights into the impact of fraud on individuals’ wellbeing and identify literature gaps. The review is not limited to a particular date or a specific discipline.

Findings
The results reveal a general consensus in the literature that fraud severely and negatively impacts individuals’ wellbeing. Fraud’s impact on victims goes beyond financial hardship. It could result in stress, anger, upset, worries, fear of future victimisation, shame, loss of self-esteem, health deterioration, loss of confidence in financial matters, suicide ideation, unemployment, homelessness, less happiness and life satisfaction and broken relationships. However, research on how fraud impacts individuals’ wellbeing is scarce and has yet to receive substantial attention.

Originality/value
To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first comprehensive literature review compiling evidence on the impact of fraud on individuals’ wellbeing.

Published: November 2023

PurposeThe study investigated the predictive role of supportive leadership and psychological safety for mindful organizing and the subsequent impact of mindful organizing on individual task performance. Mindful organizing, a concept from high-reliability organizations (HROs), can improve performance in various industrial settings. The limited availability of novel predictors for mindful organizing necessitates exploring this concept in the context of adventure tourism.Design/methodology/approachThrough a cross-sectional research approach, 394 respondents were selected from the adventure tourism industry in Malaysia. The proposed causal research model was evaluated through structural equation modeling (SEM), aggregation and bootstrapping.FindingsPsychological safety and supportive leadership significantly impacted mindful organizing. Mindful organizing, in turn, was positively associated with individual task performance. The mediating role of mindful organizing between psychological safety and task performance was statistically significant. However, the mediating role of mindful organizing between supportive leadership and task performance was not statistically significant.Practical implicationsManagers in the adventure tourism industry should consider applying mindful organizing to increase employee productivity and develop collective sensemaking. Also, developing a culture of support among managers and coworkers, emphasizing the team's psychological safety, may boost the morale and productivity of the workforce.Originality/valueThis research has identified and empirically tested new antecedents, psychological safety and leadership for mindful organizing in the adventure tourism context and has addressed a significant research gap (Sutcliffe et al., 2016) by broadening the scope of mindful organizing research to encompass contexts beyond those exclusively considered HROs.
Blockchain adoption in the food and beverage industry from a behavioral reasoning perspective: moderating roles of supply chain partnerships
Authors: Jang Ha-Won , Jung Hyo Sun , Cho Meehee 
Published: November 2023

Purpose
Blockchains provide significant benefits for business operations due to its transparency, traceability and information sharing. However, application to the food and beverage (F&B) industry was scarce. The purpose of this study is to explore how to form F&B managers’ blockchain adoption by applying behavioral reasoning theory (BRT). Additionally, supply chain partnerships (SCPs) were tested for the potential moderating roles within BRT. This study’s findings expand existing knowledge by providing novel information for F&B management.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected from F&B managers by using an online survey method. A structural equation modeling and multi-group analysis were performed to test the hypothesized relationships.

Findings
Findings revealed that the positive effects of “reasons for” on “attitudes,” and “adoption intentions” while “reasons against” did not show such effects. Environmental benefits of blockchains were found to lead more positive attitudes while traditional barriers were the greatest constraints for adopting blockchains. This study supports the significant moderating roles of SCPs within the context of F&B blockchain adoption.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the technology literature in the foodservice context by applying BRT as a theoretical lens. The importance of developing SCPs for F&B blockchain adoption and exploitation is highlighted.

Published: November 2023

PurposeSupervisory abuse is a form of destructive leadership. Research has continued to document many deleterious consequences associated with such improper behavior at work. This study further extends its consequences by testing a model linking abusive supervision to job apathy through a climate of fear.Design/methodology/approachThis study drew on affective events theory in investigating the role of the climate of fear in instances where casual workers perceive abuse in commercial banks. A three-wave and three-week time lag approach was adopted for data collection from 245 casual workers in southeastern Nigeria.FindingsResults from partial least squares structural equation modeling supported the model by showing that abusive supervision had a direct positive relationship with the climate of fear and job apathy, while the climate of fear related positively to job apathy. Results also revealed that the climate of fear partially mediated the relationship between abusive supervision and job apathy.Practical implicationsManagers can be trained to become more supportive and less abusive to address the problem of abusive supervision. Furthermore, casual workers are encouraged to report any abuse from their manager to higher authorities inside or outside their workplace.Originality/valueThis study sheds new insights and advances the abusive supervision literature by investigating the climate of fear as the underlying mechanism.

Authors: Pouran Manjily Hajar , Alborzi Mahmood , Behrouz Turaj , Seyed- Hosseini Seyed Mohammad 
Published: November 2023

Purpose
This study aims to focused on conducting a comprehensive assessment of the technology readiness level (TRL) of Iran’s oil field intelligence compared to other countries with similar oil reservoirs. The ultimate objective is to optimize oil extraction from this field by leveraging intelligent technology. Incorporating intelligent technology in oil fields can significantly simplify operations, especially in challenging-to-access areas and increase oil production, thereby generating higher income and profits for the field owner.

Design/methodology/approach
This study evaluates the level of maturity of present oil field technologies from the perspective of an intelligent oil field by using criteria for measuring the readiness of technologies. A questionnaire was designed and distributed to 18 competent oil industry professionals. Using weighted criteria, a mean estimate of oil field technical maturity was derived from the responses of respondents. Researchers evaluated the level of technological readiness for Brunei, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia’s oil fields using scientific studies.

Findings
None of the respondents believe that the intelligent oil field in Iran is highly developed and has a TRL 9 readiness level. The bulk of experts believed that intelligent technologies in the Iran oil industry have only reached TRL 2 and 1, or are merely in the transfer phase of fundamental and applied research. Clearly, Brunei, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia have the most developed oil fields in the world. In Iran, academics and executive and contracting firms in the field of intelligent oil fields are working to intelligently develop young oil fields.

Originality/value
This study explores the level of maturity of intelligent technology in one of Iran’s oil fields. It compares it to the level of maturity of intelligent technology in several other intelligent oil fields throughout the globe. Increasing intelligent oil fields TRL enables better reservoir management and causes more profit and oil recovery.

SolBeePop: A model of solitary bee populations in agricultural landscapes
Authors: Schmolke Amelie , Galic Nika , Hinarejos Silvia 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

With their large diversity of species, solitary bees are important pollinators of crops and native plant communities in agricultural landscapes. Stressors such as changing landscapes, climate and pesticide exposures may affect populations differently, dependent on each species' ecological traits.

We developed a population model for solitary bees, SolBeePop, which can be applied to simulate a variety of species by using species‐specific traits, including the nesting strategies. Species' phenological traits are mechanistically combined with input time series capturing temporal and spatial variability in landscape compositions.

Calibration and validation of the model with empirical study data demonstrate that the model can capture realistic dynamics in bee populations. In simulations conducted representing four species, Osmia bicornis, Megachile rotundata, Nomia melanderi and Eucera pruinosa, identical conditions and assumed nesting resource limitations resulted in different population‐level outcomes, indicating the importance of interactions between external factors and species‐specific traits including phenological, survival and reproductive traits.

Synthesis and applications. The publicly available model is intended as a tool for the assessment of population‐level outcomes of stressors, for instance, the limitation of floral resources in agricultural landscapes, limitation of nesting habitat and the exposure to pesticides. Realistic landscape scenarios can be tested and available data for one species can be used to estimate outcomes in other solitary bee species, informing conservation plans and risk assessment approaches to support managed and natural populations in the field.
How a ‘good parent’ decides on childhood vaccination. Demonstrating independence and deliberation during Dutch healthcare visits
Authors: Prettner Robert , te Molder Hedwig , Humă Bogdana 
Published: November 2023

AbstractChildhood vaccination consultations are considered an important phase in parents’ decision‐making process. To date, only a few empirical studies conducted in the United States have investigated real‐life consultations. To address this gap, we recorded Dutch vaccination conversations between healthcare providers and parents during routine health consultations for their newborns. The data were analysed using Conversation Analysis and Discursive Psychology. We found that the topic of vaccination was often initiated with ‘Have you already thought about vaccination?’ (HYATAV), and that this formulation was consequential for parental identity work. Exploring the interactional trajectories engendered by this initiation format we show that: (1) interlocutors treat the question as consisting of two types of queries, (2) conversational trajectories differ according to which of the queries is attended to and that (3) parents work up a ‘good parent’ identity in response to HYATAV, by demonstrating that they think about their child’s vaccination beforehand and make their decisions independently. Our findings shed new light on the interactional unfolding of parental vaccination decisions.
Multimorbidity as chronic crisis: ‘Living on’ with multiple long‐term health conditions in a socially disadvantaged London borough
Authors: van Blarikom Esca , Fudge Nina , Swinglehurst Deborah 
Published: November 2023

AbstractContemporary health services are primarily designed around single diseases. People with multimorbidity (multiple long‐term health conditions) often become burdened by accumulated treatments. Through multimodal fieldwork in a socially disadvantaged London borough, we explore how people living with multimorbidity navigate conditions of ‘chronic crisis’, encompassing ill‐health, overmedicalisation, polypharmacy and social exclusion. Participants in our study frequently experience ‘existential stuckness’, exacerbated by processes of social exclusion. We argue that diagnoses and treatments should account for people’s unique aetiologies, and prioritise the notion of ‘flourishing’ over ‘cure’ as the absence of disease is not always achievable. To foster this emphasis on flourishing, we advocate for a dialogical turn in diagnostic processes that better support patients’ existential needs in the context of long‐term illness.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate whether conisation increases chorioamnionitis (CAM) and assess whether this risk differs between preterm and term periods. Furthermore, we estimated mediation effects of CAM between conisation and preterm birth (PTB).DesignA nationwide observational study.SettingJapan.PopulationSingleton pregnant women derived from the perinatal registry database of the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology between 2013 and 2019.MethodsThe association between a history of conisation and clinical CAM was examined using a multivariable logistic regression model with multiple imputation. We conducted mediation analysis to estimate effects of CAM on PTB following conisation.Main Outcome MeasuresClinical CAM.ResultsOf 1 500 206 singleton pregnant women, 6961 (0.46%) underwent conisation and 1 493 245 (99.5%) did not. Clinical CAM occurred in 150 (2.2%) and 11 484 (0.8%) women with and without conisation, respectively. Conisation was associated with clinical CAM (odds ratio [OR] 3.09; 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.63–3.64; p < 0.001) (risk difference 1.57%; 95% CI 1.20–1.94). The association was detected among 171 440 women with PTB (OR 3.09; 95% CI 2.57–3.71), whereas it was not significant among 1 328 284 with term birth (OR 0.88; 95% CI 0.58–1.34). OR of total effect of conisation on PTB was 2.71, OR of natural indirect effect (effect explained by clinical CAM) was 1.04, and OR of natural direct effect (effect unexplained by clinical CAM) was 2.61. The proportion mediated was 5.9%.ConclusionsConisation increased CAM occurrence. Obstetricians should be careful regarding CAM in women with conisation, especially in preterm period. Bacterial infections may be an important cause of PTB after conisation.

AbstractBio‐based products are nowadays useful tools able to affect the productivity and quality of conventionally cultivated crops. Several bio‐based products are currently on the market; one of the newest and most promising is the wood distillate (WD) derived from the pyrolysis process of waste biomass after timber. Its foliar application has been widely investigated and shown to promote the antioxidant profile of cultivated crops. WD was used here as additive for the cultivation of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants. The application improved quality (chemical) parameters, minerals, polyphenols, and lycopene contents of tomato fruits. The extracts of WD‐treated and untreated tomatoes have been chemically and biologically characterized. The 1H‐NMR and ESI‐mass spectrometry analyses of the extracts revealed the presence of different fatty acids, amino acids and sugars. In particular, the WD‐treated tomatoes showed the presence of pyroglutamic acid and phloridzin derivatives, but also dihydrokaempferol, naringenin glucoside, cinnamic acid, and kaempferol‐3‐O‐glucoside. When tested in cells, the extracts showed a promising anti‐inflammatory profile in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Furthermore, the extracts displayed a slight vasorelaxant activity on rat aorta rings (either endothelium‐denuded or endothelium‐intact) pre‐contracted with phenylephrine or potassium chloride.Practical ApplicationWood distillate has been used for tomato plant growth. Tomatoes showed improved nutritional parameters, and their extracts displayed antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory activities.
Pulsed electric field treatment of soymilk: Impact on Kunitz trypsin inhibitor allergenicity, antinutritional factor, and aroma characteristics

Published: November 2023

AbstractAllergens, antinutritional factors, and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzyme present in soymilk limit its consumption as vegan milk. Therefore, the present study focuses on reducing these limiting factors using pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment. In this regard, 20–40 kV/cm electric field was applied to soymilk for the effective treatment periods of 450, 1350, and 2250 ms. After the treatment, a reduction in pH (6.60 ± 0.10 to 6.47 ± 0.12) and an increase in the conductivity (173.03 ± 0.40 to 177.33 ± 0.72 µS) were observed. Furthermore, FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), UV (Ultra Violet) intrinsic spectra, and CD (Circular Dichroism) spectra (α‐helix reduction and β‐sheet increase) data indicated mild structural changes in the proteins of soymilk. As a result, PEF treatment reduced the soymilk allergenicity (67.33 ± 20.48%), LOX activity (69.45 ± 9.38%), and trypsin inhibitor activity (75.61 ± 4.04%). Apart from that, the color, viscosity, and volatiles of soymilk also had significant changes due to PEF treatment. The aroma changes in PEF‐treated soymilk were highly influenced by two major principal component (PC1 & PC2) groups and they accounted for about 70% of the aroma variations. However, these changes were mild and did not induce any off‐flavors and the treatment remained effective against the quality hazards like allergens, antinutritional factors, and LOX enzyme.Practical ApplicationPEF treatment of soymilk reduces the possible allergic reactions in human body at least by 30%. Further, it reduces the antinutritional factor and off‐odor inducing compounds. Therefore, the PEF treatment can be used in industries as a pre‐treatment to produce allergen and antinutritional compounds free protein isolates from soybeans.
