Authors: Hanu Charles , Agbenyegah Albert T. , Kumadey Gifty , Amankwaa Robert , Ofosu-Appiah Samuel 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
Grounded on trait activation and social learning theories, this study aims to examine the effects of bottom-line mentality (BLM) and perceived abusive supervisory behaviour on proactive employee work behaviour and employee bottom-line mentality (EBLM) in micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Ghana. The moderating effects of relational attachment on how abusive supervisory behaviour relates to employee proactive work behaviour (PWB) and BLM were examined.

Design/methodology/approach
The study was based on a quantitative approach. An online questionnaire was used in a cross-sectional survey to elicit data from 643 conveniently sampled employees. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data.

Findings
The results support the proposition that owner-manager bottom-line mentality (OMBLM) positively and significantly predicts abusive supervision. The findings also revealed that owner-manager abusive supervisory behaviour significantly predicts employee PWB and EBLM. While the moderating effect of relational attachment on the relationship between perceived owner-manager abusive supervisory behaviour and EBLM is positive and significant, its effect on perceived owner-manager abusive supervisory and proactive employee work behaviour relationship was positive but insignificant.

Originality/value
The authors studied owner-manager abusive supervisory behaviour to understand how OMBLM relates to proactive employee work behaviour and EBLM among MSMEs in Ghana. The study sets the tone to investigate further the impact of OMBLM and the functional effect of owner-manager abusive supervisory behaviour on manager–employee relationships and outcomes among MSMEs in emerging economies.

Authors: Behl Abhishek , Pereira Vijay , Nigam Achint , Wamba Samuel , Sindhwani Rahul 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the potential of NFTs in revolutionizing innovation management and information systems. Innovations done by firms are blatantly used by other firms to develop cheap knock-off. This leads to huge economic loses to the firm investing in research and development activities. Firms are in need of trusted, immutable and verifiable means of storing information which cannot be used by others, even if publically available without their consent. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) appear to be one such solution to this problem that has recently attracted a lot of investor interest. Using NFTs the information is tokenized and is stored in a secure manner.

Design/methodology/approach
Through this scoping review, the authors investigate the influence of NFTs towards the innovation management from the dual aspects of management and information systems. This scoping review is underpinned by the five-stage framework by Arksey and O’Malley. The five stages of Arksey and O’Malley’s framework were used in this analysis to classify the literature through five stages of identifying the initial research questions; locating relevant studies; study selection; charting the data; and compiling, summarizing and reporting the results.

Findings
This study suggests that NFTs on the blockchain have significant potential to revolutionize innovation management and information systems. Theoretical frameworks used in investigating the role of digital tokens in blockchain management are mainly based on contracts, diversity theory, portfolio theory and faking likelihood theory. The study reveals gaps in the literature, particularly in the under-researched areas of behavioural psychology and social psychology theories. The appropriate regulation and regulation authority for different types of digital tokens are required. The study also presents archetypes that represent patterns in the current landscape of blockchain tokens, which have significant potential for future research and practical applications.

Originality/value
This study is unique in its approach to assessing the future of NFTs in the field of innovation and information management. While many existing reviews have focused on describing the progress and development of NFTs in the past, this study takes a forward-looking perspective and projects the future potential of NFTs. This innovative approach allows for a deeper understanding of the potential impact of NFTs in various fields such as entrepreneurship, innovation management and tokenomics. Therefore, this study contributes to the literature on NFTs by providing insights and recommendations for future research and practical applications.
Mothers’ self-representations and representations of childhood on social media
Authors: Kallioharju Minna , Wilska Terhi-Anna , Vänskä Annamari 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine mothers’ social media accounts that focus on children’s fashion. The authors probed children’s fashion photo practices as representations of the mothers’ extended self and the kind of childhood representations produced by the social media accounts. They also investigated mothers’ perceptions of children’s privacy when engaging in sharenting – the sharing of information about children or parenting online.

Design/methodology/approach
The study is based on 16 semi-structured interviews with Finnish mothers who had Instagram accounts focusing on children’s fashion.

Findings
Children’s fashion photos play a diverse role in mothers’ identity work. The photos can be used to express a mother’s taste and aesthetic skills, to express values, to fit into peer groups and to store memories of oneself and the children. Through the photos, representations of the prevailing Finnish childhood ideals, such as authenticity, naturalness and playfulness, are reproduced. The mothers perceived the children as part of their extended self and justified sharenting with mother- and child-centered arguments.

Originality/value
Through shedding light on the practices of social media fashion photography, this paper provides insights into how commercialism and social media shape cultural expectations for both motherhood and childhood. The paper contributes to previous research on sharenting, extending it to the context of fashion photography.

Abstract

Seasonal migration is a physiologically demanding endeavour that animals prepare for by finding and storing energy. Species and populations vary in their tendencies to migrate and the energetic demands of migration likely determine the degree and type of preparation that different animals undergo.

Birds fuel their migratory flight using stored fat. Previous work has suggested that in addition to being energetically dense, certain lipids like polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may be particularly efficient fuels that are preferentially mobilized for flight or serve may additional functions, such as modulating membrane fluidity or stimulating gene expression as ligands, during long‐distance migratory flight.

Using a series of behavioural and metabolic experiments in a partial transplant aviary setting of Common Blackbirds (Turdus merula) populations that range from being fully migratory to partially migratory to sedentary, we asked how migratory restlessness (Zugunruhe), weight gain and oxidation of stearic acid (18:0), oleic acid (18:1n‐9), linoleic acid (18:2n‐6) and alpha linolenic acid (18:3n‐3; ALA) varied with migratory mode and season.

We found no population‐level differences in the timing of Zugunruhe. However, before migration, a greater proportion of individuals from fully migratory populations exhibited weight gain and migratory restlessness, as well as increased oxidation of PUFAs. After Zugunruhe, only individuals from migratory populations showed reduced PUFA oxidation. All populations showed increased oxidation of saturated fat after Zugunruhe.

Our results demonstrate that certain migratory traits, like the timing of Zugunruhe are expressed similarly across populations in response to local environmental conditions, while other traits, like lipid oxidation, can vary among populations.

Published: May 2023

AbstractThe Late Devonian–early Carboniferous deposits of the Anarak section in northeastern Isfahan, Central Iran, evaluated based on conodont biostratigraphy, sedimentary environment and sequence stratigraphy. According to the field observations, five lithological units were identified. Investigating the conodont fauna of the Late Devonian–Carboniferous (Mississippian–Pennsylvanian) deposits of Bahram, Shishtu, and Qaleh (Sardar 1) formations in Anarak section led to the identification of 67 species of 18 conodont genera, and accordingly 22 conodont biozones were differentiated. The correlation of sea‐level change curves, regarding to the conodont biofacies with the global sea‐level curve, demonstrates the relative correlation in the mentioned times due to the shallow condition of the central Iran basin compared to the European and American basins. The microfacies analysis led to the identification of 12 microfacies related to the open sea, bioclastic barrier, lagoon and tidal flat sub‐sedimentary environments in a homoclinal carbonate ramp environment. Based on sequence stratigraphy studies, three 3rd order sequences were identified. The first sequence, which is of the Late Devonian (upper part of the Bahram Formation, 32.5 m), the second sequence (12.5 m) is the Late Devonian (uppermost part of the Bahram Formation), and the third sequence (68 m) is the early Carboniferous (the Shishtu I Formation).

Published: May 2023

AbstractThe Lucaogou Formation, located in the Jimsar Sag, Junggar Basin, NW China, has great potential for shale oil resources. In the process of CO2‐EOR (CO2 enhance oil recovery), mineral dissolution, precipitation and transformation, leading to the local corrosion or blockage of reservoirs, have a significant influence on recovery. In this study, a combination of high‐temperature and high‐pressure laboratory experiments and coupled temperature/fluid‐chemistry multi‐field numerical simulations are used to investigate CO2‐water‐rock reactions under various reservoir conditions in the upper and lower ‘sweet spots’, to reveal the mechanisms underlying CO2‐induced mineral dissolution, precipitation and transformation. In addition, we quantitatively calculated the evolution of porosity over geological timescales; compared and analyzed the variability of CO2 transformation in the reservoir under a variety of temperature, lithology and solution conditions; and identified the main factors controlling CO2‐water‐rock reactions, the types of mineral transformation occurring during long‐term CO2 sequestration and effective carbon sequestration minerals. The results demonstrate that the main minerals undergoing dissolution under the influence of supercritical CO2 are feldspars, while the main minerals undergoing precipitation include carbonate rock minerals, clay minerals and quartz. Feldspar minerals, especially the initially abundant plagioclase in the formation, directly affects total carbon sequestration, feldspar‐rich clastic rocks therefore having considerable sequestration potential.
Transinfected Wolbachia strains induce a complex of cytoplasmic incompatibility phenotypes: Roles of CI factor genes
Authors: Li Jing , Dong Bei , Zhong Yong , Li Zheng‐Xi 
Published: May 2023

AbstractWolbachia can modulate the reproductive development of their hosts in multiple modes, and cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) is the most well‐studied phenotype. The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is highly receptive to different Wolbachia strains: wCcep strain from the rice moth Corcyra cephalonica and wMel strain from the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster could successfully establish and induce CI in transinfected whiteflies. Nevertheless, it is unknown what will happen when these two exogenous Wolbachia strains are co‐transinfected into a new host. Here, we artificially transinferred wCcep and wMel into the whitefly and established double‐ and singly‐transinfected B. tabaci isofemale lines. Reciprocal crossing experiments showed that wCcep and wMel induced a complex of CI phenotypes in the recipient host, including unidirectional and bidirectional CI. We next sequenced the whole genome of wCcep and performed a comparative analysis of the CI factor genes between wCcep and wMel, indicating that their cif genes were phylogenetically and structurally divergent, which can explain the crossing results. The amino acid sequence identity and structural features of Cif proteins may be useful parameters for predicting their function. Structural comparisons between CifA and CifB provide valuable clues for explaining the induction or rescue of CI observed in crossing experiments between transinfected hosts.

Abstract

The growing interest in combining spatial and temporal patterns in nature has been fostered by the current availability of high‐frequency measurements. However, we still lack a methodological framework to process and interpret spatiotemporal datasets into meaningful values, adaptable to different time windows and/or responding to different spatial structures. Here, we developed and tested a framework to evaluate spatiotemporal connectivity using two new measures: the spatiotemporal connectivity (STcon) and the spatiotemporal connectivity matrix (STconmat).

To obtain these measures, we consider a set of spatially connected sites within a temporally dynamic network. These measures are calculated from a spatiotemporal matrix where spatial and temporal connections across sites are captured. These connections respond to a determined network structure, assign different values to these connections and generate different scenarios from which we obtain the spatiotemporal connectivity. We developed these measures by using a dataset of stream flow state spanning a 513‐day period obtained from data loggers installed in seven temporary streams. These measures allowed us to characterise connectivity among stream reaches and relate spatiotemporal patterns with macroinvertebrate community structure and composition.

Spatiotemporal connectivity differed within and among streams, with STcon and STconmat capturing different hydrological patterns. Macroinvertebrate richness and diversity were higher in more spatiotemporally connected sites. Community dissimilarity was related to STconmat showing that more spatiotemporally connected sites had similar communities for active and passive dispersers. Interestingly, both groups were related to spatiotemporal connectivity patterns for some of the analysed scenarios, highlighting the relevance of spatiotemporal connectivity in dynamic systems.

As we exemplified, the proposed framework can help to disentangle and quantify spatiotemporal dynamics or be applied in the conservation of dynamic systems such as temporary streams. However, the current framework is not limited to the temporal and spatial features of temporary streams. It can be extended to other ecosystems by including different time windows and/or consider different network structures to assess spatiotemporal patterns. Such spatiotemporal measures are especially relevant in a context of global change, with the spatiotemporal dynamics of ecosystems being heavily disrupted by human activities.
Combinatorial approach of immuno‐proton therapy in cancer: Rationale and potential impact
Authors: Gaikwad Utpal , Bajpai Jyoti , Jalali Rakesh 
Published: May 2023

AbstractCancer management is an expansive, growing, and evolving field. In the last decade or so, immunotherapy (IT) and particle beam therapy have made a tremendous impact in this domain. IT has already established itself as the fourth pillar of oncology. Recent emphasis has been centred around combination therapy, postulating additive or multiplicative effects of combining IT with one or more of the three conventional “pillars,” that is, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. Radio‐IT is being increasingly explored and has shown promising outcomes in both preclinical and clinical settings. Particle beam therapy such as protons, when used as the radiotherapeutic modality in conjunction with IT, can potentially limit toxicities and improve this synergism further. Modern proton therapy has demonstrated a reduction in integral dose of radiation and radiation‐induced lymphopenia in various sites. Protons, by virtue of their inherent clinically desirable physical and biological characteristics, namely, high linear energy transfer, relative biological effectiveness of range 1.1–1.6, and proven anti‐metastatic and immunogenic potential in preclinical studies, might have a superior immunogenic profile than photons. Proton‐IT combination is being studied currently by various groups in lung , head neck and brain tumors, and should be evaluated further in other subsites to replicate preclinical outcomes in a clinical setting. In this review, we summarize the currently available evidence for combinatorial approaches and feasibility of proton and IT combination, and thereafter highlight the emerging challenges for practical application of the same in clinics, while also proposing plausible solutions.

AimsCarboplatin is generally dosed based on a modified Calvert formula, in which the Cockcroft–Gault‐based creatinine clearance (CRCL) is used as proxy for the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The Cockcroft–Gault formula (CG) overpredicts CRCL in patients with an aberrant body composition. The CT‐enhanced estimate of RenAl FuncTion (CRAFT) was developed to compensate for this overprediction. We aimed to evaluate whether carboplatin clearance is better predicted by CRCL based on the CRAFT compared to the CG.MethodsData of four previously conducted trials was used. The CRAFT was divided by serum creatinine to derive CRCL. The difference between CRAFT‐ and CG‐based CRCL was assessed by population pharmacokinetic modelling. Furthermore, the difference in calculated carboplatin dose was assessed in a heterogeneous dataset.ResultsIn total, 108 patients were included in the analysis. Addition of the CRAFT‐ and CG‐based CRCL as covariate on carboplatin clearance led, respectively, to an improved model fit with a 26‐point drop in objective function value and a worsened model fit with an increase of 8 points. In 19 subjects with serum creatinine <50 μmol/L, the calculated carboplatin dose was 233 mg higher using the CG.ConclusionsCarboplatin clearance is better predicted by CRAFT vs. CG‐based CRCL. In subjects with low serum creatinine, the calculated carboplatin dose using CG exceeds the dose using CRAFT, which might explain the need for dose capping when using the CG. Therefore, the CRAFT might be an alternative for dose capping while still dosing accurately.

SummaryObesity has emerged as one of the most challenging worldwide problems and, if left untreated, can lead to major illnesses and consequences that can impair patients' health The study's objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of Liraglutide 3.0 mg in inducing weight loss and to assess the improvement of obesity‐related comorbid conditions among people living with obesity (PwO) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). A retrospective cohort review of PwO with or without diabetes and taking Liraglutide 3.0 mg in combination with diet and exercise for weight management was performed and evaluated at King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, KSA. We collected patient data from electronic medical records for different parameters. The side effects were not recorded. A cohort of 399 patients who used Liraglutide 3.0 mg for 6 months was included in the study. At baseline, the mean age of the cohort was 46.4 (±12.1) years, mean BMI was 40.4 (±7.7) kg/m2 and most patients (74.4%) were women. Their mean average weight loss was 6.5 (±9.5) kg; p < .001. In the entire cohort, 52.6% of subjects had lost ≥5% of their bodyweight, 27.8% of subjects had lost ≥10%, and 11.3% of subjects had lost ≥15% of their bodyweight. There was a significant reduction in HbA1c by 0.5% (p < .0001) at 6 months of the treatment. Liraglutide 3.0 mg treatment did not affect systolic blood pressure and alanine transferase. Liraglutide 3.0 mg resulted in clinically significant weight loss with better glycaemic control, confirming the drug's effectiveness in the real‐world evidence setting.
