Individual differences reveal similarities in serial dependencies across perceptual tasks, but no relation to serial dependencies for oculomotor behavior
Authors: Guan Shuchen , Goettker Alexander 
Published: February 2024

AbstractSerial dependence effects from one trial to the next have been observed across a wide range of perceptual tasks, as well as for oculomotor behavior. This opens up the question of whether the effects observed across all of these studies share underlying mechanisms. Here we measured the same group of observers across four different tasks, two perceptual (color judgments and orientation judgments) and two oculomotor (tracking of moving targets and the pupil light reflex). On the group level, we observed significant attractive serial dependence effects for all tasks, except the pupil response. The rare absence of a serial dependence effect for the reflex like pupil light response suggests that sequential effects require cortical processing or even higher-level cognition. In the following step, we leveraged reliable individual differences between observers in the other tasks to test whether there is a trait-like behavior of some observers showing stronger serial dependence effects across all of these tasks. We observed a significant relationship in the strength of serial dependence for the two perceptual experiments, but no relation between the perceptual tasks and oculomotor behavior. This indicates, differences in processing between perception and oculomotor control and the absence of a general trait-like behavior that affects all tasks similarly. However, the shared variance in the strength of serial dependence effects across different perceptual tasks indicates the importance of a similar positive decision bias present, that is reliably different between observers and consistent across different serial dependence tasks.

ABSTRACTMany factors, including temperature, can affect the embryonic development of spiders, leading to a variety of deformities in their body structure. Early studies on teratological changes in spiders were aimed mainly at describing the morphology of affected individuals. Now, with new tools and molecular techniques used to carry out a functional analysis of genes involved in body segmentation and leg formation, the explanation of these defects is finally possible. In our new experiment on spiders collected in 2022/2023 breeding season, we obtained 87 postembryos with various body defects by applying alternating temperatures (140C and 320C) for the first 10 days of embryonic development. The most common anomaly, i.e. oligomely, occurred in 70 individuals, while other defects (schistomely, symely, polymely, heterosymely) were noted sporadically. Partial prosoma duplication affected only six embryos. In the context of recent advances in molecular spider embryology we conclude that recorded anomalies may be connected with the suppression or erroneous expression of certain genes of body segmentation and appendage formation, and by disturbances in the formation and migration of the cumulus, which leads to an axis duplication phenotype.Summary statementThis article presents a rare anomaly - bicephaly, which appeared in spider postembryos as a result of thermal shocks applied during embryogenesis.

Published: February 2024

ABSTRACTTerminal selectors are transcription factors that control neuronal identity by regulating the expression of key effector molecules, such as neurotransmitter (NT) biosynthesis proteins, ion channels and neuropeptides. Whether and how terminal selectors control neuronal connectivity is poorly understood. Here, we report that UNC-30 (PITX2/3), the terminal selector of GABA motor neuron identity inC. elegans, is required for NT receptor clustering, a hallmark of postsynaptic differentiation. Animals lackingunc-30ormadd-4B,the short isoform of the MN-secreted synapse organizermadd-4(Punctin/ADAMTSL), display severe GABA receptor type A (GABAAR) clustering defects in postsynaptic muscle cells. Mechanistically, UNC-30 acts directly to induce and maintain transcription ofmadd-4Band GABA biosynthesis genes (e.g.,unc-25/GAD,unc-47/VGAT). Hence, UNC-30 controls GABAAR clustering on postsynaptic muscle cells and GABA biosynthesis in presynaptic cells, transcriptionally coordinating two critical processes for GABA neurotransmission. Further, we uncover multiple target genes and a dual role for UNC-30 both as an activator and repressor of gene transcription. Our findings on UNC-30 function may contribute to our molecular understanding of human conditions, such as Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome, caused by PITX2 and PITX3 gene mutations.
Understanding the relevance and impact of the cost of quality in the construction industry: a systematic literature review using PRISMA
Authors: Sharma Nandini , Laishram Boeing 
Published: February 2024

Purpose
Construction industry faces challenges in making objective decisions due to monetary value attached to quality. Among various quality management techniques available, cost of quality (COQ) is one such method used to address the concern. However, the absence of measurable COQ factors to monitor quality costs hampers the implementation of COQ framework in the construction industry. Therefore, this study aims to identify COQ factors focused on visible factors (VF) and hidden factors (HF) and the current requirements to achieve it.

Design/methodology/approach
This study is based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses protocol guidelines. The present study identified 57 articles published between 1992 and 2023 in peer-reviewed journals.

Findings
The findings reveal 22 factors, which are grouped into four categories based on COQ. Through systematic review, the authors observed limited methodological and theoretical diversity. In fact, there are no quantitative frameworks to calculate COQ. The study, therefore, developed a framework comprising four major routes/paths of COQ factors within the framework.

Practical implications
The COQ routes developed through this study will enable the practitioners to meticulously categorise VF and HF, facilitating quantifying of quality throughout the lifecycle of project, which is currently absent from the existing quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) approach. In addition, these COQ routes stand as essential construction strategies, significantly enhancing outcomes related to time, cost, quality, sustainability and fostering closer relationships within project frameworks.

Originality/value
The current study contributes significantly to the existing body of knowledge by developing various COQ routes and proposing future research directions to address gaps in the literature.
Loneliness at the top: outstanding success, peace lasting one match
Authors: Ünsal Efe 
Published: February 2024

Learning outcomes
Firstly, leaders are assessed according to a wide variety of criteria. To be an effective leader, one should be aware of these criteria and perform accordingly. Secondly, there is an ongoing debate between scholars on whether leaders are lonely at the top or not. Leaders might feel lonely because of the great responsibility and exhaustion related to the role. Social support from the leader’s network helps to cope with the loneliness. Thirdly, work motivation and job satisfaction have an impact on employee performance. A leader should pay attention to these concepts for higher organizational performance.

Case overview/synopsis
In the early 2020s, the world of Turkish football met a new leader: Hakan Karaahmet, the club president who led Giresunspor’s rise to the Turkish Super League. In the summer of 2020, Karaahmet was elected as the president of Giresunspor, which is the most popular football club in Giresun, a small city in Turkey on the Black Sea coast. The club was founded in 1925 and re-formed in 1967 as three other small clubs merged. It played in Turkish Super League (Turkish first league) between 1971 and 1977 and was back in the top flight after a 44-year absence, with the leadership of Karaahmet in the 2020–2021 football season. Even though it was quite a difficult task, the president ensured that the club was not relegated from the super league in the 2021–2022 season. Although Giresunspor made a promising start to the 2022–2023 football season with two wins out of three matches, the team fell behind its rivals regarding squad depth because of financial difficulties. As of 1 February, the consecutive crushing losses pushed the team into the relegation zone. The team, fans and the president were devastated. Karaahmet was faced with the dilemma of resigning from the club or not.

PurposeDrawing upon the theory of communication visibility, this research intends to investigate the direct effect of enterprise social media (ESM) usage on team members’ knowledge creation capability (KCC) and the mediating effects of psychological safety and team identification. In addition, it aims to untangle how the efficacy of ESM usage varies between pre- and post-COVID-19 periods.Design/methodology/approachUsing two-wave survey data from 240 members nested within 60 teams, this study utilizes a multilevel approach to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsWe discover that ESM usage enhances team members’ KCC. More importantly, the results show that psychological safety and team identification mediate the ESM–KCC linkage. Interestingly, we further find that the impacts of ESM usage on team members’ KCC, psychological safety, and team identification are stronger in the pre-COVID-19 period than those in the post-COVID-19 period.Originality/valueThis research sheds light on the ESM literature by unraveling the mechanisms of psychological safety and team identification underlying the linkage between ESM usage and team members’ KCC. Moreover, it advances our understanding of the differential efficacy of ESM usage in pre- and post-COVID-19 periods.

Authors: Zhong Xuanyan , Zhan Zehui 
Published: February 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to develop an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) for programming learning based on information tutoring feedback (ITF) to provide real-time guidance and feedback to self-directed learners during programming problem-solving and to improve learners’ computational thinking.

Design/methodology/approach
By analyzing the mechanism of action of ITF on the development of computational thinking, an ITF strategy and corresponding ITS acting on the whole process of programming problem-solving were developed to realize the evaluation of programming problem-solving ideas based on program logic. On the one hand, a lexical and syntactic analysis of the programming problem solutions input by the learners is performed and presented with a tree-like structure. On the other hand, by comparing multiple algorithms, it is implemented to compare the programming problem solutions entered by the learners with the answers and analyze the gaps to give them back to the learners to promote the improvement of their computational thinking.

Findings
This study clarifies the mechanism of the role of ITF-based ITS in the computational thinking development process. Results indicated that the ITS designed in this study is effective in promoting students’ computational thinking, especially for low-level learners. It also helped to improve students’ learning motivation, and reducing cognitive load, while there’s no significant difference among learners of different levels.

Originality/value
This study developed an ITS based on ITF to address the problem of learners’ difficulty in obtaining real-time guidance in the current programming problem-solving-based computational thinking development, providing a good aid for college students’ independent programming learning.

Do what is possible with enthusiasm: the impact of ambidextrous leadership on employees’ innovation behaviour
Authors: Cheng Chun 
Published: February 2024

PurposeThis study investigates the direct influence of ambidextrous leadership on employees’ innovation behaviour, the mediating role of innovative self-efficacy and harmonious work passion, and the moderating role of Zhong-Yong thinking.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted a series of questionnaire surveys to collect data in three time periods and from multiple sources; 332 supervisor–subordinate matched samples were obtained. The hypothesised relationships were tested using structural equation modelling and ProClin.FindingsAmbidextrous leadership is positively associated with employees’ innovation behaviour, while innovative self-efficacy and harmonious work passion play mediating roles. The analysis further confirms that innovative self-efficacy and harmonious work passion play a chained double-mediating role between ambidextrous leadership and employees’ innovation behaviour, while Zhong-Yong thinking plays moderating roles between ambidextrous leadership and innovative self-efficacy and between ambidextrous leadership and harmonious work passion.Originality/valueThis study demonstrates the influence of ambidextrous leadership on employees’ innovation behaviour, specifically the role of ambidextrous leadership, and extends the relationship’s theoretical foundation. It is also expected to provide inspiration and serve as a reference for local Chinese management.
Mitigating consumer guilt through resale
Authors: Chu Hsunchi 
Published: February 2024

PurposeThis research draws on drive reduction theory and mental accounting theory to understand how the prospect of reselling used items can influence consumer feelings of consumption guilt and impact their willingness to purchase new products.Design/methodology/approachWe conducted two studies with between-subjects designs to explore this relationship. In Study 1, we examined the correlation between consumers' perceived guilt and their willingness to buy a new product, considering their awareness of the product’s resale potential. Study 2 delved into the aspect of reselling a similar old product already owned by the consumer.FindingsThe findings suggest three key insights. First, consumers' awareness of resale potential significantly affects their guilt perception and purchasing decisions. Second, the resale reference price (RRP) can decrease guilt perception but increase the intention to buy a new product. Lastly, when consumers are aware of the resale value of a previously owned product that is similar to the desired new product, the effect of the RRP on their purchasing intent is mediated by consumer guilt.Originality/valueThis research fills a theoretical gap by empirically exploring the emotional motivations behind consumer resale behavior. It presents a novel perspective on how resale activities can shape feelings of guilt and impact purchasing decisions. This offers important implications for understanding the dynamics of consumer behavior in the second-hand market.
