Studying international complaints: a multicultural analysis across two time periods
Authors: Küster Ines , Vila Natalia , Kuster-Boluda Amparo 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
This paper first aims to examine associations between factors involved in business-to-business complaints management and results (satisfaction and loyalty) and analyses three types of distributors based on their cultural profile (domestic, low context and high context). Second, the paper investigates whether the identified associations remain stable over time.

Design/methodology/approach
Data from a sample of distributors for a manufacturing company were gathered during two periods of time. A factorial analysis of correspondences and a cluster analysis were carried out to visually represent the associations among clients, complaints and results in the associations among clients, complaints and results. The stability over time of these relationships was also analysed by calculating the correlations between the Euclidean distances on the two maps (one per year) and their mobility ratio.

Findings
The authors found significant evidence that clients from different cultures are associated with varying profiles of complaint and different result types and that certain associations remain stable over time.

Originality/value
While many studies have analysed complaint behaviour in business-to-consumer contexts, there is a lack of research from an international business-business relations point of view, leaving questions virtually unexplored. Second, the last phases of supply chain management, specifically complaints management, have been undeveloped, limiting the cultural factor to the general scope of negotiation. In this vein, this paper compares different complaint profiles and results, comparing culturally different customers/distributors. Third, research has mostly referred to a single period, while this paper investigates two different periods of time for the same company (and their distributors) to analyse the relevance of the stability (or not) over time of the associations identified.

Published: January 2024

PurposeThe effect of playfulness climate on employees in firms has been the subject of an increasing number of studies in recent years. Given the growing number of businesses that have incorporated playfulness into their operations, it is possible to enhance the task performance and innovative performance of the younger generation of workers by rationally managing playfulness, particularly when it comes to that aspect of the workplace. Based on the conservation of resources theory, this study aims to investigate how the playfulness climate in organizations influences the change self-efficacy of the millennial workers and how to enhance their task performance and innovation performance.Design/methodology/approachThe authors used a quantitative approach to test the relationship between the hypotheses. The survey population for this study consisted of the millennial workers in the computer sector who are involved in research and development in China. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the built mediation model empirically over the course of the study's three rounds of data collection, each separated by one month. Through the collection of paired questions for leadership and their subordinates, 424 valid questionnaires were obtained.FindingsThe examination of the questionnaire results supports the study's theoretical hypothesis, which states that when millennial workers sense a more playfulness work environment, it will encourage them to develop a sense of change self-efficacy. Additionally, they will be better able to handle work-related responsibilities and come up with innovative ideas as a result of change self-efficacy, which would eventually enhance the task performance and innovation performance of millennial employees.Originality/valueBy introducing the mediation of change self-efficacy, this study expands on the application of the conservation of resources theory. The research on the performance of millennial employees is complemented and enhanced by investigating the relationship between the playfulness climate and employees' task performance and innovation performance from the perspective of their sense of change self-efficacy. This study also reveals that managers should foster a positive and playfulness environment in their workplaces in order to manage the performance of millennial employees.

Authors: Wu Chong , Zhang Zijiao , Liu Chang , Zhang Yiwen 
Published: January 2024

PurposeThis paper aims to propose a bed and breakfast (B&B) recommendation method that takes into account review timeliness and user preferences to help consumers choose the most satisfactory B&B.Design/methodology/approachThis paper proposes a B&B ranking method based on improved intuitionistic fuzzy sets. First, text mining and cluster analysis are combined to identify the concerns of consumers and construct an attribute set. Second, an attribute-level-based text sentiment analysis is established. The authors propose an improved intuitionistic fuzzy set, which is more in line with the actual situation of sentiment analysis of online reviews. Next, subjective-objective combinatorial assignments are applied, considering the consumers’ preferences. Finally, the vlsekriterijumska optimizacija i kompromisno resenje (VIKOR) algorithm, based on the improved score function, is advised to evaluate B&Bs.FindingsA case study is presented to illustrate the use of the proposed method. Comparative analysis with other multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) methods proves the effectiveness and superiority of the VIKOR algorithm based on the improved intuitionistic fuzzy sets proposed in this paper.Originality/valueProposing a B&B recommendation method that takes into account review timeliness and user customization is the innovation of this paper. In this approach, the authors propose improved intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Compared with the traditional intuitionistic fuzzy set, the improved intuitionistic fuzzy set increases the abstention membership, which is more in line with the actual situation of attribute-level sentiment analysis of online reviews.

Authors: Singh Nirmal , Banga Harmanjit Singh , Singh Jaswinder , Sharma Rajnish 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to prompt ideas amongst readers (especially librarians) about how they can become active partners in knowledge dissemination amongst concerned user groups by implementing 3D printing technology under the “Makerspace.”

Design/methodology/approach
The paper provides a brief account of various tools and techniques used by veterinary and animal sciences institutions for information dissemination amongst the stakeholders and associated challenges with a focus on the use of 3D printing technology to overcome the bottlenecks. An overview of the 3D printing technology has been provided following the instances of use of this novel technology in veterinary and animal sciences. An initiative of the University Library, Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Ludhiana, to harness the potential of this technology in disseminating information amongst livestock stakeholders has been discussed.

Findings
3D printing has the potential to enhance learning in veterinary and animal sciences by providing hands-on exposure to various anatomical structures, such as bones, organs and blood vessels, without the need for a cadaver. This approach enhances students’ spatial understanding and helps them better understand anatomical concepts. Libraries can enhance their visibility and can contribute actively to knowledge dissemination beyond traditional library services.

Originality/value
The ideas about how to harness the potential of 3D printing in knowledge dissemination amongst livestock sector stakeholders have been elaborated. This promotes creativity amongst librarians enabling them to think how they can engage in knowledge dissemination thinking out of the box.
A brief review of Secondary School Food Policy (SSFP) approaches in the UK from 2010 to 2022
Authors: Lalli Gurpinder , Smith Kim , Woodside Jayne , Defeyter Greta , Skafida Valeria , Morgan Kelly , Martin Christopher 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to provide a snapshot of secondary school food policy (SSFP) across the devolved nations (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) to offer insights into a growing area of policy concern. The selected context of research is school food policy (SFP), an area of research which has received little attention in terms of policy approaches. The review is focused on 2010 to 2022.

Design/methodology/approach
This work combines interdisciplinary perspectives spanning across food policy, public health, psychology, education and sociology. This combination has merit as it offers different perspectives in terms of understanding SFP. The study was conducted between August 2021 and March 2022, using a desk-based review, analysing policies on food in secondary schools. Data collection was conducted through the Web using key search terms. The READ (Read, Extract, Analyse, Distil) approach was used as a systematic procedure to analyse policy and evaluation documents.

Findings
To all levels of government, it is recommended that a coherent policymaking approach be used to tackle SSFP improvements, to progress a whole school approach to food, supported by long-term dedicated resources while engaging children in SSFP development. For education departments, it is recommended that a food curriculum review, connected to school meals alongside a refocus on school food standards monitoring and reporting is crucial in serving the future generations. The current economic crisis has had an impact on public spending. Universal Free School Meals has been said to make an enormous difference to well-being.

Originality/value
The current findings suggest that researching SFP across nations has merit. There is a relative lack of focus on secondary schools, in light of England’s focus on the National Food Strategy (focus on children), post-pandemic, economic crisis – together this makes school food and food policy a topic of real urgency and importance. Lessons can both be learned, particularly in promoting healthier and more educationally inclusive school food practices. Research in this area can inform curriculum design and school food environment and system changes from the perspective of learnings around taking a whole school food approach to education.

Authors: Lopes João M.M. , Gomes Sofia , Trancoso Tiago 
Published: January 2024

PurposeGreen consumption is fundamental to sustainable development, as it involves adopting practices and technologies that reduce the environmental impact of human activities. This study aims to analyze the influence of consumers’ green orientation on their environmental concerns and green purchase decisions. Furthermore, the study investigates the mediating role of consumers’ environmental concerns in the relationship between pro-sustainable orientation and green purchase decisions.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a quantitative methodology, applying the partial least squares method to a sample of 927 Portuguese consumers of green products. The sample was collected through an online survey.FindingsPerceived benefits and perceived quality of products play a positive and significant role in influencing green behavior, especially when consumers are endowed with greater environmental concerns. In addition, consumers’ awareness of the prices of green products and their expectations regarding the future benefits of sustainable consumption positively impact green consumption behavior, further intensifying their environmental concerns.Practical implicationsAccording to the present findings, companies should adopt a holistic and integrated approach to promote green consumption. This means creating premium eco-friendly products, communicating their benefits, addressing the cost factor, emphasizing the future impact of eco-friendly options and raising consumers’ environmental awareness.Social implicationsIt is critical that environmental education is a priority in schools and that there are political incentives for green behaviors. In addition, media campaigns can be an important tool to raise awareness in society.Originality/valueThe results of this study provide important insights for companies on consumer engagement in the circular economy. Deepening knowledge of the antecedents of consumers’ environmental concerns contributes to a deeper understanding of green purchasing decision behavior, allowing companies to support new business strategies.
Cascade model for Australian housing
Authors: Khemka Gaurav , Tang Yifu , Warren Geoffrey J. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractWe design a ‘cascade model’ that integrates projections for Australian housing with inflation, incomes and asset markets over long horizons. The model allows simulating joint ‘paths’ for inflation, wages, cash rates, mortgage rates, rents, rental yields, house prices and fund returns. The cascade model structure ensures that equilibrium relationships are maintained between the variables when projecting over very long time periods. It achieves this through linking either growth rates or levels for variables in a manner that ensures consistent trends emerge within each simulated path over the very long‐term, thus avoiding excessively divergent behaviour between variables with common underlying fundamentals.

AbstractObjectiveTo understand the determinants and benefits of cross‐sector partnerships between Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs) and geographically affiliated AmericaServes Network coordination centers that address Veteran health‐related social needs.Data Sources and SettingSemi‐structured interviews were conducted with AmericaServes and VAMC staff across seven regional networks. We matched administrative data to calculate the percentage of AmericaServes referrals that were successfully resolved (i.e., requested support was provided) in each network overall and stratified by whether clients were also VAMC patients.Study DesignConvergent parallel mixed‐methods study guided by Himmelman's Developmental Continuum of Change Strategies (DCCS) for interorganizational collaboration.Data CollectionFourteen AmericaServes staff and 17 VAMC staff across seven networks were recruited using snowball sampling and interviewed between October 2021 and April 2022. Rapid qualitative analysis methods were used to characterize the extent and determinants of VAMC participation in networks.Principal FindingsOn the DCCS continuum of participation, three networks were classified as networking, two as coordinating, one as cooperating, and one as collaborating. Barriers to moving from networking to collaborating included bureaucratic resistance to change, VAMC leadership buy‐in, and not having VAMCs staff use the shared technology platform. Facilitators included ongoing communication, a shared mission of serving Veterans, and having designated points‐of‐contact between organizations. The percentage of referrals that were successfully resolved was lowest in networks engaged in networking (65.3%) and highest in cooperating (85.6%) and collaborating (83.1%) networks. For coordinating, cooperating, and collaborating networks, successfully resolved referrals were more likely among Veterans who were also VAMC patients than among Veterans served only by AmericaServes.ConclusionsVAMCs participate in AmericaServes Networks at varying levels. When partnerships are more advanced, successful resolution of referrals is more likely, especially among Veterans who are dually served by both organizations. Although challenges to establishing partnerships exist, this study highlights effective strategies to overcome them.

Published: January 2024

This study aimed to investigate the influence of the moisture content of dehulled sesame seeds on the aroma formation and harmful substances in sesame paste (SP). The SP samples were made of dehulled sesame seeds with moisture contents of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% and denoted as T5, T10, T15, T20, and T25, respectively. The results revealed that adjusting the moisture content had a significant impact on aroma compounds, color intensity, and sensory properties. SP pre‐adjusted to a moisture content of 10% exhibited the smallest L* value and the highest browning strength. Using gas chromatography–olfactometry–mass spectrometry analysis, the researchers identified 38 aroma‐active compounds in the SP, with pyrazines being the most abundant, contributing to roasted sesame and nutty aromas. Additionally, the presence of pyrrole and furan derivatives led to enhanced caramel and almond aromas, positively influencing the overall sensory properties. T10 demonstrated the highest levels of roasted sesame and nutty odors. Furthermore, the regulation of moisture content also affected the formation of harmful compounds, such as heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Notably, the sample made of the sesame seeds with 10% and 15% moisture content exhibited the lowest total PAHs content (18.21–28.91 ng/g) and PAH4 content (non‐detectable‐0.15 ng/g). The carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene was not detected in any of the samples, ensuring a safer product. The pre‐adjustment of moisture content in SP appears to be a promising approach to improve both its flavor and safety qualities.

AbstractBackgroundThe relationship between fibrosis‐4 (FIB‐4) index and all‐cause mortality in critically ill patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) is unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the predictive ability of FIB‐4 for all‐cause mortality in critically ill AUD patients and the association between them.MethodsA total of 2528 AUD patients were included using the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC‐IV) database. FIB‐4 was calculated for each patient using the existing formula. The patients were equally divided into four groups based on the quartiles of FIB‐4. Multivariate logistic regression and Cox proportional hazard model were used to evaluate the association of FIB‐4 with in‐hospital mortality, 28‐day mortality and 1‐year mortality. Kaplan–Meier curves were used to analyse the incidence of 28‐day mortality among four groups.ResultsFIB‐4 was positively associated with 28‐day mortality of AUD patients with hazard ratio (HR) of 1.354 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.192–1.538]. There were similar trends in the in‐hospital mortality [odds ratio (OR): 1.440, 95% CI (1.239–1.674)] and 1‐year mortality [HR: 1.325, 95% CI (1.178–1.490)].ConclusionIncreased FIB‐4 is associated with greater in‐hospital mortality, 28‐day mortality and 1‐year mortality in critically ill AUD patients.
Sex‐specific negative affect‐like behaviour and parabrachial nucleus activation induced by BNST stimulation in adult mice with adolescent alcohol history
Authors: Albrechet‐Souza Lucas , Kasten Chelsea R. , Bertagna Natalia B. , Wills Tiffany A. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractAdolescent alcohol use is a strong predictor for the subsequent development of alcohol use disorders later in life. Additionally, adolescence is a critical period for the onset of affective disorders, which can contribute to problematic drinking behaviours and relapse, particularly in females. Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that exposure to adolescent intermittent ethanol (AIE) vapour alters glutamatergic transmission in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) and, when combined with adult stress, elicits sex‐specific changes in glutamatergic plasticity and negative affect‐like behaviours in mice. Building on these findings, the current work investigated whether BNST stimulation could substitute for stress exposure to increase the latency to consume a palatable food in a novel context (hyponeophagia) and promote social avoidance in adult mice with AIE history. Given the dense connections between the BNST and the parabrachial nucleus (PBN), a region involved in mediating threat assessment and feeding behaviours, we hypothesized that increased negative affect‐like behaviours would be associated with PBN activation. Our results revealed that the chemogenetic stimulation of the dorsolateral BNST induced hyponeophagia in females with AIE history, but not in female controls or males of either group. Social interaction remained unaffected in both sexes. Notably, this behavioural phenotype was associated with higher activation of calcitonin gene‐related peptide and dynorphin cells in the PBN. These findings provide new insights into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the development of negative affect in females and highlight the potential involvement of the BNST‐PBN circuitry in regulating emotional responses to alcohol‐related stimuli.
