Personal values and travel motivations: the moderating effects of visit experience, gender and age
Authors: Maghrifani Dila , Sneddon Joanne , Liu Fang 
Published: January 2024

PurposeTo understand differences in visitors' travel motivations, this study investigates the relations between personal values and travel motivations as well as the moderating effects of visit experience, age and gender on values–motivations relations among Australian visitors visiting Indonesia.Design/methodology/approachThe multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) was performed using Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) to assess the constructs' validity across groups (potential vs repeat visitors; younger vs older visitors; male vs female visitors). A group model comparison thus was run in the multigroup analysis to test whether any differences in values–motivations relationships were significant across the groups.FindingsThis study shows that travel motivations are associated with values in a systematic way, and values–motivations relations can vary by age, gender and visit experience. Specifically, self-enhancement values are associated with escape-seeking motivation and conservation values are associated with assurance-seeking motivations. Whilst, there is no associations found between openness to change values and novelty-seeking motivations and between self-transcendence values and interaction-seeking motivations. Further, values influence travel motivations for potential but not repeat visitors and for younger but not older visitors.Research limitations/implicationsTailoring marketing strategies to align with visitors' personal values and travel motivations is crucial. Further, acknowledging the moderating influences of visit experience, gender and age in values–motivations relations enables destination marketers to create more effective and targeted approaches for diverse demographic groups in marketing, promotions and destination development.Originality/valueThis study for the first time provides a better explanation on how the travel motivations are formed in relation to values, age, gender and visit experience.
Investigating consumers’ reactions towards female-empowerment advertising (femvertising) and female-stereotypical representations advertising (sex-appeal)
Authors: Negm Eiman 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
This study aims to explore the impact of women empowerment and gender-stereotypical advertising exposure on consumers’ attitudes and purchase intents.

Design/methodology/approach
The quantitative research approach was used to assess the women-empowerment and gender-stereotypical advertising on consumers’ attitudes and purchase intentions, explicating the most effective approach in marketing communication in the Arab context, specifically Egypt. Administrated questionnaires were distributed online cross-gender through the use of convenience sampling. The targeted average sample size sought was minimum of 370. Once the data was acquired, partial least square path modelling of structural equation modelling was conducted to test the hypotheses.

Findings
Results show that male consumers and female consumers react to a certain extent differently to women-empowerment and gender-stereotypical advertisings. For instance, gender-stereotypical advertisings effect attitude for both genders; it effects male consumers’ purchase intentions, but not female consumers. Women empowerment advertising is insignificant on brand attitude and purchase intention among male consumers; among female consumers, it has significant impact on brand attitude, but not purchase intention. Nevertheless, both categories of advertising contribute to male consumers’ and female consumers’ perception and attitude towards gender role portrayal.

Originality/value
This study provides noteworthy insights and perspectives on women-empowerment (Femvertising) and gender-stereotypical advertising effects on cross-gender consumers in the Arab region (a region of strong masculine culture values). The emerged conclusions aid as a reference and guide for scholars and practitioners to develop effective advertising that create prospect depictions and build inspired female customer base.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to review the role of knowledge management (KM) in disaster management and crisis. Disaster causes many detrimental impacts on human lives through loss of life and damage to properties. KM has been shown to dampen the impact of the disaster on the utilization of knowledge among agencies involved and the local communities impacted by disasters.Design/methodology/approachThrough a bibliometric methodology (co-citation, bibliographic coupling and co-word analysis), this study presents significant themes in the past, current and future predictions on the role of KM in disaster management. In this review paper, 437 publications were retrieved from the Web of Science and analyzed through VOSviewer software to visualize and explore the knowledge map on the subject domain.FindingsFindings suggest that the significant themes derived are centralized to disaster preparedness during disaster and disaster postrecovery. This review presents a state-of-art bibliometric analysis of the crucial role of KM in building networks and interconnection among relevant players and stakeholders involved in disaster management.Research limitations/implicationsThe main implication of this study is how the authorities, stakeholders and local community can integrate the KM system within the three stages of disasters and the crucial role of technologies and social media in facilitating disaster management.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to present a bibliometric analysis in mapping KM’s past, present and future trends in disaster management.

PurposeConventional wisdom says stakeholders matter to managers as they develop strategy – but do they? If so, what type of stakeholders matter and what can managers do?Design/methodology/approachAn in-depth exploration of five deep case studies where senior executives embarked upon strategy development. Analysis revealed five significant factors for managing stakeholders effectively.FindingsThese findings include: determining the nature of a stakeholder, separating those who care about the strategy and its implementation from those who do not but still could impact it; addressing stakeholders at an appropriate level; considering internal as well as external stakeholders and attending to the stakeholders’ responses to proposed strategies and the consequent dynamics created.Research limitations/implications(1) The research was conducted with senior managers, and the authors detail the difficulties involved in doing so within the introduction and (2) The research was specific to the healthcare sector, but has relevance to all strategy makers.Practical implicationsThis paper explores five factors and their implications and suggests techniques to address them that are well established and available to promote the effective strategic management of stakeholders.Originality/valueEmpirical research in strategy formation with elites is rare because it is difficult to gain access and trust. Empirical research in stakeholder studies is even rarer. By combining the two elements, the authors gather and interpret a unique dataset.
What are the main drivers of private saving in Egypt?
Authors: Emam Hebatalla Atef 
Published: January 2024

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the main drivers of private saving in Egypt (2005–2020).Design/methodology/approachIt employs an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach for quarterly data on private saving, lagged private saving, real gross domestic product (GDP) growth, public saving, inflation, real interest rate, money supply, current account deficit and unemployment.FindingsPrivate saving in Egypt displays persistency and public saving depresses private saving in the short run and long run. Real interest rate, inflation and unemployment have negative and statistically significant impacts on private saving in the short run and long run. The current account deficit displays a negative effect on private saving but is significant only in the short run. Other incorporated variables, like real GDP and money supply, are not statistically significant. This could be attributed to the high consumption rather than saving motive of the Egyptian population and their tendency to rely more on other informal saving channels.Research limitations/implicationsFindings are of policy relevance as unleashing the determinants of private saving guides policymakers in formulating the appropriate sustainable development policies. It also assists in identifying the main obstacles hindering the promotion of private saving and hence major areas for policy intervention, like financial inclusion, poverty eradication, employment generation and structural reforms.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature: (1) it tackles private saving figure rather than aggregate saving figure that is covered by similar studies due to lack of consistent data, (2) given the relatively low quality, unavailability and inconsistency of data on private saving in developing countries, investigating the determinants of private saving should be carried out on an individual country basis which is done by this study, (3) this study fulfills the gap in literature related to the lack of up-to-date studies on private saving in Egypt and (4) it relies on quarterly data that could produce more reliable results.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Hybridization between organisms from evolutionarily distinct lineages can have profound consequences on organismal ecology, with cascading effects on fitness and evolution. Most studies of hybrid organisms have focused on organismal traits, for example, various aspects of morphology and physiology. However, with the recent emergence of holobiont theory, there has been growing interest in understanding how hybridization impacts and is impacted by host‐associated microbiomes. Better understanding of the interplay between host hybridization and host‐associated microbiomes has the potential to provide insight into both the roles of host‐associated microbiomes as dictators of host performance as well as the fundamental rules governing host‐associated microbiome assembly. Unfortunately, there is a current lack of frameworks for understanding the structure of host‐associated microbiomes of hybrid organisms.

In this paper, we develop four conceptual models describing possible relationships between the host‐associated microbiomes of hybrids and their progenitor or ‘parent’ taxa. We then integrate these models into a quantitative ‘4H index’ and present a new R package for calculation, visualization and analysis of this index.

We demonstrate how the 4H index can be used to compare hybrid microbiomes across disparate plant and animal systems. Our analyses of these data sets show variation in the 4H index across systems based on host taxonomy, host site and microbial taxonomic group.

Our four conceptual models, paired with our 4H index and associated visualization tools, facilitate comparison across hybrid systems. This, in turn, allows for systematic exploration of how different aspects of host hybridization impact the host‐associated microbiomes of hybrid organisms.
Population assignment from genotype likelihoods for low‐coverage whole‐genome sequencing data

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Low‐coverage whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) is increasingly used for the study of evolution and ecology in both model and non‐model organisms; however, effective application of low‐coverage WGS data requires the implementation of probabilistic frameworks to account for the uncertainties in genotype likelihoods.

Here, we present a probabilistic framework for using genotype likelihoods for standard population assignment applications. Additionally, we derive the Fisher information for allele frequency from genotype likelihoods and use that to describe a novel metric, the effective sample size, which figures heavily in assignment accuracy. We make these developments available for application through WGSassign, an open‐source software package that is computationally efficient for working with whole‐genome data.

Using simulated and empirical data sets, we demonstrate the behaviour of our assignment method across a range of population structures, sample sizes and read depths. Through these results, we show that WGSassign can provide highly accurate assignment, even for samples with low average read depths (<0.01X) and among weakly differentiated populations.

Our simulation results highlight the importance of equalizing the effective sample sizes among source populations in order to achieve accurate population assignment with low‐coverage WGS data. We further provide study design recommendations for population assignment studies and discuss the broad utility of effective sample size for studies using low‐coverage WGS data.

Published: January 2024

AbstractBackgroundSeveral studies report lack of meropenem pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) target attainment (TA) and risk of therapeutic failure with intermittent bolus infusions in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The aim of this study was to describe meropenem TA in an ICU population and the clinical response in the first 72 h after therapy initiation.MethodsA prospective observational study of ICU patients ≥18 years was conducted from 2014 to 2017. Patients with normal renal clearance (NRC) and augmented renal clearance (ARC) and patients on continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) were included. Meropenem was administered as intermittent bolus infusions, mainly at a dose of 1 g q6h. Peak, mid, and trough levels were sampled at 24, 48, and 72 h after therapy initiation. TA was defined as 100% T > 4× MIC or trough concentration above 4× MIC. Meropenem PK was estimated using traditional calculation methods and population pharmacokinetic modeling (P‐metrics®). Clinical response was evaluated by change in C‐reactive protein (CRP), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, leukocyte count, and defervescence.ResultsEighty‐seven patients were included, with a median Simplified Acute Physiology (SAPS) II score 37 and 90 days mortality rate of 32%. Median TA was 100% for all groups except for the ARC group with 45.5%. Median CRP fell from 175 (interquartile range [IQR], 88–257) to 70 (IQR, 30–114) (p < .001) in the total population. A reduction in SOFA score was observed only in the non‐CRRT groups (p < .001).ConclusionIntermittent meropenem bolus infusion q6h gives satisfactory TA in an ICU population with variable renal function and CRRT modality, except for ARC patients. No consistent relationship between TA and clinical endpoints were observed.

Published: January 2024

AbstractBackground and aimsOn 1 May 2018, Scotland introduced a minimum unit price (MUP) of £0.50 for alcohol, with one UK unit of alcohol being 10 ml of pure ethanol. This study measured the association between MUP and changes in the volume of alcohol‐related ambulance call‐outs in the overall population and in call‐outs subsets (night‐time call‐outs and subpopulations with higher incidence of alcohol‐related harm).DesignAn interrupted time−series (ITS) was used to measure variations in the daily volume of alcohol‐related call‐outs. We performed uncontrolled ITS on both the intervention and control group and a controlled ITS built on the difference between the two series. Data were from electronic patient clinical records from the Scottish Ambulance Service.Setting and casesAlcohol‐related ambulance call‐outs (intervention group) and total ambulance call‐outs for people aged under 13 years (control group) in Scotland, from December 2017 to March 2020.MeasurementsCall‐outs were deemed alcohol‐related if ambulance clinicians indicated that alcohol was a ‘contributing factor’ in the call‐out and/or a validated Scottish Ambulance Service algorithm determined that the call‐out was alcohol‐related.FindingsNo statistically significant association in the volume of call‐outs was found in both the uncontrolled series [step change = 0.062, 95% confidence interval (CI) = −0.012, 0.0135 P = 0.091; slope change = −0.001, 95% CI = −0.001, 0.1 × 10−3 P = 0.139] and controlled series (step change = −0.01, 95% CI = −0.317, 0.298 P = 0.951; slope change = −0.003, 95% CI = −0.008, 0.002 P = 0.257). Similarly, no significant changes were found for the night‐time series or for any population subgroups.ConclusionsThere appears to be no statistically significant association between the introduction of minimum unit pricing for alcohol in Scotland and the volume of alcohol‐related ambulance call‐outs. This was observed overall, across subpopulations and at night‐time.
Victim or Threat? Shipwrecks, Terrorist Attacks, and Asylum Decisions in France
Authors: Emeriau Mathilde 
Published: January 2024

AbstractTragic events such as terrorist attacks have been shown to influence voters’ policy preferences, but less is known about whether such events also affect actual immigration policy. In this study, I bring new evidence to this question by examining whether migrant shipwrecks and terrorist attacks affected asylum decisions in France during the refugee crisis of 2015–16. I find that asylum officers were more likely to approve an individual's refugee application if a shipwreck has recently been in the news than they are otherwise. Yet they were less likely to grant refugee status to asylum seekers from Syria and Iraq after a terrorist attack. Together, these findings suggest that tragic events can affect immigration policy through their influence on asylum officers.
Does hypometabolism constrain innate immune defense?
Authors: Kadamani Karen L. , Logan Samantha M. , Pamenter Matthew E. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractMany animals routinely make energetic trade‐offs to adjust to environmental demands and these trade‐offs often have significant implications for survival. For example, environmental hypoxia is commonly experienced by many organisms and is an energetically challenging condition because reduced oxygen availability constrains aerobic energy production, which can be lethal. Many hypoxia‐tolerant species downregulate metabolic demands when oxygen is limited; however, certain physiological functions are obligatory and must be maintained despite the need to conserve energy in hypoxia. Of particular interest is immunity (including both constitutive and induced immune functions) because mounting an immune response is among the most energetically expensive physiological processes but maintaining immune function is critical for survival in most environments. Intriguingly, physiological responses to hypoxia and pathogens share key molecular regulators such as hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α, through which hypoxia can directly activate an immune response. This raises an interesting question: do hypoxia‐tolerant species mount an immune response during periods of hypoxia‐induced hypometabolism? Unfortunately, surprisingly few studies have examined interactions between immunity and hypometabolism in such species. Therefore, in this review, we consider mechanistic interactions between metabolism and immunity, as well as energetic trade‐offs between these two systems, in hypoxia‐tolerant animals but also in other models of hypometabolism, including neonates and hibernators. Specifically, we explore the hypothesis that such species have blunted immune responses in hypometabolic conditions and/or use alternative immune pathways when in a hypometabolic state. Evidence to date suggests that hypoxia‐tolerant animals do maintain immunity in low oxygen conditions, but that the sensitivity of immune responses may be blunted.
The relationship between populism and attitudes on vaccine against COVID‐19: Trust in institutions as a moderation factor

Published: January 2024

AbstractThe aim of this study is to examine whether the relationship between populist orientation and attitudes towards the anti‐COVID vaccine and government measures is mediated by conspiracy beliefs and health risk perceptions, and whether these relationships are moderated by trust in institutions. Data were collected in Italy using a questionnaire (N = 390). The results largely supported our hypotheses of moderated mediation. Basically, while previous studies suggest that populist attitudes are positively associated with conspiracy theories, vaccine hesitancy and limited compliance with government measures, this study shows that these relationships are stronger when people do not trust institutions.

AbstractThis study proposed a method for measuring the methane (CH4)/carbon dioxide (CO2) ratio from individual beef cattle under on‐farm conditions and estimated the variance components of the CH4/CO2 ratio. Gas measurements were conducted using 166 Japanese Black cattle group‐housed in pens equipped with individual feed bins. The gas containing the animal's breath was measured individually after concentrate feeding by covering the feed bin with a sheet with sampling inlets. Measurements were performed six times (three consecutive days, twice daily) per individual. Most of the sampled gas contained more than 1000 ppm of the mean background‐corrected CO2, suggesting that the method proposed in this study successfully collected sufficient breath concentration to accurately measure the CH4/CO2 ratio. The between‐animal variance accounted for 31.7% of the total variance in the CH4/CO2 ratio. The results showed that the gas collection method proposed in this study could be a useful tool for measuring the CH4/CO2 ratio under on‐farm conditions. The variance component obtained from this study will help to establish protocols for generating data for genetic evaluation and performing dietary experiments with sufficient statistical power.
