Participation of pre-hospital emergency physicians at ambulance missions in Germany's federal states
Authors: Hofmann Thomas , Möckel Luis 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThis study aims to determine the differences in the involvement of pre-hospital emergency physicians (PHEPs) within the ambulance service over time and between the federal states and identify possible reasons for the differences.Design/methodology/approachThe federal state-specific PHEP rates from 2012 to 2017 were analysed using publicly available data or data provided by the responsible state ministries. In addition, various correlations between PHEP rates and sociodemographic and health data were calculated.FindingsThe PHEP rates differ significantly between the 16 federal states. In 2017, Schleswig–Holstein had a PHEP participation rate of 19.00%, while in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania the rate was 41.08%. In all surveyed states, the rate fell over time. Only in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the rate increased from 37.68% in 2012 to 41.08% in 2017 (OR: 1.15 [95% CI: 1.14; 1.17]). Federal state-specific PHEP rates indicated strong deviations from the overall PHEP rate of all included federal states with ORs ranging from 0.61 (95% CI: 0,61; 0,62) for Schleswig–Holstein to 1.82 (95% CI: 1.81; 1.84) for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Socioeconomic factors indicated (inverse) correlations with the federal state-specific PHEP rate.Originality/valueThe PHEP rates differ significantly between the federal states. The correlations indicate possible connections but do not show clear causes within state-specific characteristics. Consequently, the occupational autonomy of paramedics differs between the states.

Published: January 2023

PurposeEmotional intelligence (EI) is a critical component of leadership that reflects the ability of leaders to understand how their emotions and actions affect the people around them in the organization. This paper aims to deliver state-of-the-art insights on EI and leadership.Design/methodology/approachThis paper leverages on bibliometric analysis to unpack 25 years of EI and leadership research.FindingsThis paper reveals the bibliometric profile (e.g. trends in publication activity and top articles, authors, countries and journals) and intellectual structure (e.g. themes and topics) of EI and leadership research, shedding light on EI manifestation in leadership, EI and leadership congruence, EI role in leadership and EI and leadership for human resource management.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper offers several noteworthy implications. First, EI is a leadership competency that can be cultivated and leveraged to improve leadership effectiveness. Second, the need for EI and leadership congruence indicates that leadership effectiveness is vital to human resource management (HRM). Taken collectively, these theoretical implications, and by extension, practical implications, suggest that increased investment in EI and leadership effectiveness is critical for organizations and their HRM.Originality/valueThis paper sheds light on current trends and ways forward for leading by feeling, showcasing the role and manifestation of EI in leadership, its value for HRM and the importance of its congruence for effective leadership in shaping the future of work.
Are Christian Arabs' business models different from those of Muslim Arabs?
Authors: Berger Ron , Barnes Bradley R. , Lee Liane W.Y. , Rachamim Matti 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThe study aims to test a measurement scale to examine social business networks (Wasta) surrounding Arab Christians and Arab Muslims.Design/methodology/approachA 31-item scale was used to capture Wasta, consisting of the following: Mojamala (emotional), Hamola (conative) and Somah (cognitive) tri-components. A total of 149 Christian Arab and 304 Muslim Arab respondents were sampled and multi-group structural equation modeling was used to confirm the concept and test several hypotheses.FindingsThe findings from the study reveal that in order for success to occur within the Arab context, a sequential process of first developing Mojamala is necessary, before Hamola can prevail. Christian Arabs are motivated to integrate with society and form relationships via generalized trust. Muslim Arabs meanwhile tend to retain their distinct culture, using social networks to forge particularized trust. Shariah principles may also play a significant role in explaining why satisfaction was not found to be a necessary condition for Arab Muslims in driving relationship performance.Research limitations/implicationsThe study suggests that the 370 million Arab population may not be totally cohesive and should be refrained from being grouped together. In-group identification is a major contributor in explaining why business models are different between Arab Muslims and Arab Christians. The findings further support that Muslim Arab business models are based on tribalism or sheikocracy, whilst Christian Arab business models are based on legalistic frameworks and integration.Practical implicationsThe study supports prior research associated with Muslim Arab business models based on tribalism or sheikocracy (Ali, 1995). The findings suggest that Arab Muslim business models focus on particularized trust as opposed to generalized trust that is common in Arab Christian business models and in most western countries. The study demonstrates that Mojamala (the emotional construct), Hamola (empathy) and Somah (particularized trust) are useful constructs for building Wasta and they serve a core element for Arab Muslim business models. Mojamala and Somah both directly affect satisfaction. Somah and satisfaction have a direct influence on performance.Originality/valueThe findings provide evidence to support institutional theory. Also from a stakeholder theory perspective, viewing companies, not only through an economic lens, but also building social institutions, can lead to a better understanding of business models drawing on diverse cultures and faiths. The study may therefore serve as a useful reference for academics and practitioners as they grapple to enhance satisfaction and leverage performance advantages within this context.
The impact of dialectical thinking on androgynous brand equity across cultures: the moderating role of brand positioning
Authors: Bravo Velázquez Alberto , Hang Haiming , Ren Shengnan 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThe authors’ research examines the impact of cross-cultural difference in dialectical thinking on consumers' responses to androgynous brands and its implication for brand equity. Their research also aims to see how consumers take both feminine and masculine attributes into consideration to form their judgments of androgynous brand equity and whether this process is moderated by brand positioning.Design/methodology/approachThe authors did two experiments with 400 Chinese consumers (high in dialectical thinking) and 528 British consumers (low in dialectical thinking) to test our framework.FindingsThe authors’ experimental results suggest an androgynous brand has higher brand equity in China than in the UK. Furthermore, Chinese consumers rate higher feminine/masculine attributes of masculine/feminine brands. In addition, an androgynous brand's equity is mainly driven by its less dominant attributes. Finally, their results suggest that brand positioning moderates the mediating role of less dominant attributes, more evident when brand positioning matches (vs mismatches) an androgynous brand's more dominant attributes.Originality/valueBy focusing on cross-cultural differences in dialectical thinking, the authors’ research offers a novel approach to reconcile existing inconclusive results on androgynous brand equity. Second, to their best knowledge, their research is the first to examine how feminine and masculine attributes jointly decide androgynous brand equity. Finally, by focusing on brand positioning, their research highlights the importance of an androgynous brand's less dominant attributes in driving its brand equity and provides a tool international marketing managers can use to strengthen such influence.
A sustainable model based on genetic algorithm for garment redesign process
Authors: Paras Manoj Kumar , Wang Lichuan , Pal Rudrajeet , Ekwall Daniel 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThis study proposes a garment modularization model based on an interactive genetic algorithm. The suggested model consists of extraction and identification of parts and the determination and implementation of connections. Rules and corresponding mathematical equations have been formulated for the part's extractions from the discarded products and connections for the redesigned products.Design/methodology/approachSustainability entices scholars and practitioners while referring to reducing waste to control environmental degradation. One of the ways to safeguard natural resources is to increase the reuse of old or discarded products. The current study focuses on the redesign process to improve the reuse of products.FindingsThe intelligent system proposed based on the modularization techniques is expected to simplify and quantify the redesign process. The model can further help in the minimization of wastage and environmental degradation.Originality/valuePresently, manual decisions are taken by the designers based on their memory, experience and intuition to extract and join the parts.
Exploring motivation and satisfaction in part-time PhD students
Authors: Turner Heather 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
This study aims to explore the motivation and satisfaction of part-time PhD students in the USA through the lens of self-determination theory (SDT).

Design/methodology/approach
Following an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, data sources consisted of a survey (N = 100) and focus groups (N = 20) of part-time PhD students.

Findings
Findings suggest that part-time PhD students achieve greater satisfaction when they are autonomously motivated. Part-time PhD student satisfaction may be increased through shifting motivation from an external to an internal locus of control, such as when doctoral work is framed within the context of solving practice-based problems. Facilitating this change requires those involved in the practice of research doctoral education to work toward satisfying students’ innate needs of autonomy, competence and relatedness with others, yet many part-time PhD students describe experiences within their doctoral education that do not meet these needs. Implications for research and practice are presented.

Originality/value
This paper tests the applicability of SDT, a widely used theory in doctoral studies, to part-time PhD students, an understudied student population in the USA.
Developing a knowledge-based perspective of coordination in global software development
Authors: Mishra Debasisha 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
This study aims to develop a model for coordination and communication overhead in distributed software development through case study analysis in the Indian outsourcing software industry. The model is based on business knowledge, which can be classified as domain, regulatory, strategic, business process and operation process knowledge as per existing literature.

Design/methodology/approach
Double case study method was used to verify an existing knowledge–management framework of software development from the literature. The stakeholders of both the cases were interviewed, and project documents were verified to reach conclusions.

Findings
The findings supported the business knowledge classification from the literature. The concept can be used to analyze the software project in a distributed environment.

Research limitations/implications
The research work findings are based only on two case studies. The study findings cannot be generalized and should be used as a learning tool. There can be large variations of project characteristics with differences in business knowledge requirements. The research shows the importance of business knowledge transfer in global software development.

Practical implications
Projects managers in the distributed software development environment can use the findings in project planning and work allocation for better control over cost and schedule, etc.

Originality/value
There is little research works attempted to study the business knowledge classification in the global software industry making the research novel.
Predator escape behaviour in threatened marsupials
Authors: Tay N. E. , Warburton N. M. , Moseby K. E. , Fleming P. A. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractEscaping from predators is fundamental for the survival of any prey species. Australian fauna within the ‘critical weight range’ (CWR; 35 g–5.5 kg) are vulnerable to introduced eutherian predators. The absence of co‐evolution between native marsupials and these novel predators may suggest that their antipredator behaviour towards the hunting strategies of these predators is inappropriate or ineffective. We quantified the escape behaviour of eight CWR marsupial taxa (three quadrupedal bandicoots and five bipedal macropods) to determine if differences in how they escape from predators indicate their ability to respond appropriately and effectively to introduced predators. Animals were filmed escaping through a runway and 20 measures relating to their gait, speed and path characteristics were recorded. These were reduced to four dimensions using multidimensional scaling (MDS): MDS1 linear speed versus agility, MDS2 acceleration style, MDS3 reactivity and MDS4 gait characteristics. We found a strong link between the phylogenetic relatedness of species and their use of linear speed or agility when fleeing (phylogenetic heritability, h2 = 0.96). Bipedal macropod species used straight‐line, fast escapes, which may be suited to escape pursuit predators. The quadrupedal bandicoots had an overall slower escape but were more likely to use sudden changes of direction, which can be successful if pursued by a larger, less mobile predator or where there is sufficient vegetation cover to obstruct pursuit. Repeated exposure increased linear speed (MDS1) and hastened the timing of acceleration (MDS2). The phylogenetic signal for escape speed/straightness suggests specific escape tactics may be constrained by morphology, although animals increased the intensity of their response after repeated exposure, suggesting training could enhance effective antipredator responses.

Published: January 2023

AbstractQuestionThis study aimed to assess the impact of the invasion of Asclepias syriaca, a perennial non‐native herbaceous species, on basic soil attributes and vegetation composition, and to study the effect of mechanical control, namely the cutting of Asclepias, on target and other plant species.LocationSandy region of Kiskunság National Park, Hungary, Central Europe.MethodsIn ten old‐fields, four 4 m × 4 m plots were established (n = 40), of which three were invaded by Asclepias, and one was uninvaded. The invaded plots were treated as: (1) all Asclepias shoots removed, (2) half of the Asclepias shoots removed, or (3) untreated. The treatment was conducted twice a year in summer during the period 2019–2021. Before the first treatment, soil and vegetation were sampled. Afterwards, vegetation monitoring was performed twice a year: the cover of each vascular plant species and the number of Asclepias shoots were recorded in each plot.ResultThere were no differences in the studied soil attributes between the uninvaded and invaded plots. However, there were differences in vegetation composition, namely, the cover of sand grassland specialists was higher in uninvaded plots. Short‐term cutting negatively affected Asclepias after two years. The cover of specialists did not change in response to treatments, but the cover of other neophyte plant species increased.ConclusionsBased on our results, the invasion of Asclepias changes the vegetation composition, but not the soil. Although short‐term mowing can reduce the cover of Asclepias, but the grassland specialist plants do not regenerate; instead, secondary invasion occurs. We conclude that more time or additional treatment is required for native plant recovery.
Self as both target and judge: Who has an easier time knowing their own personality?
Authors: Long Elizabeth U. , Carlson Erika N. , Human Lauren J. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractObjectiveThe past two decades have established that people generally have insight into their personalities, but less is known about how and why self‐knowledge might vary between individuals. Using the Realistic Accuracy Model as a framework, we investigate whether some people make better “targets” of self‐perception by behaving more consistently in everyday life, and whether these differences have benefits for psychological adjustment.MethodUsing data from the Electronically Activated Recorder (n = 286), we indexed self‐knowledge as the link between self‐reports of personality and actual daily behavior measured over 1 week. We then tested if consistency in daily behavior as well as psychological adjustment predicted stronger self‐knowledge.ResultsWe found that behaving more consistently in everyday life was associated with more accurate self‐reports, but that psychological adjustment was not.ConclusionsAnalogous to interpersonal perception, self‐knowledge of personality might be affected by “target‐side” factors, like the quality of information provided through one's behavior. However, unlike being a good target of interpersonal perception, self‐knowledge does not seem to be related to psychological adjustment.
Belatedness and innovation: Korean modernism
Authors: Walsh Kelly S. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractIf Japanese modernists, as Eric Hayot argues, conceived modernism and modernity as originating in the West, colonial Korean artists inevitably apprehended modernism from a double remove, through the mediation of Japanese literature and language. While they self‐consciously sought to develop a distinctive Korean modernist poetics (one not prefigured by Japanese modernism), the sense of belatedness remained inescapable among Korean modernist practitioners. With the ‘expansionism’ of the new modernist studies, as is well known, there has been substantial critical work to challenge and reject the belatedness and derivativeness attributed to ‘peripheral’ modernities and modernisms. However, to properly appreciate the singularity of Korean modernism, and its expressive efforts to place its colonial modernity in a global context, it is necessary to confront how these modernists understood, figured, and rearticulated their sense of belatedness. Taking a cue from Michaela Bronstein, I attend to the uses Korean modernists made of Western (and Japanese) modernisms and how these engagements enact the aesthetic and critical force of belatedness. Ultimately, I contend, Korean modernism's self‐reflexive, intertextual stagings of belatedness generate stylistic innovation, enabling writers to situate themselves within global modernism and disclose the fraudulence of colonial modernization and its imposition of second‐hand forms.

AbstractBackgroundCatheter ablation is an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF,) but arrhythmia recurrence occurs in a relevant number of patients. Mechanisms of late occurring arrhythmias after ablation procedures are not fully understood. We analyzed electrophysiological mechanisms of early and late arrhythmia recurrences in patients who underwent radiofrequency‐based catheter ablation of AF.Methods and resultsConsecutive patients who underwent repeat ablation procedures after initial pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for symptomatic arrhythmia recurrence were analyzed. A total of 110 consecutive patients who underwent catheter ablation for paroxysmal (79%) or persistent AF (21%) were included. Forty‐seven patients suffered from early arrhythmia recurrence (group #1: 3–24 months), 29 patients from mid‐term arrhythmia recurrences (group #2: 2–5 years), and 34 patients from late arrhythmia recurrences (group #3: > 5 years). Electrical PV reconnection was found in 98% in group #1, 72% in group #2 and 56% in group #3 (p < .001). Mode of arrhythmia recurrence was organized tachycardia in 25%, 28%, and 65% of patients in groups #1, #2, and #3 (p = .001), respectively. Patients with late arrhythmia recurrence had more pronounced left atrial low voltage as compared to patients with early arrhythmia recurrence based on two published scoring system.ConclusionElectrical PV reconnection was found in the majority of patients with early AF recurrence after PVI. In patients with late arrhythmia recurrences this mechanism may play an inferior role, with many patients presenting without PV reconnection, but with LA structural alterations. Thus, early and late occurring arrhythmia recurrence after catheter ablation may be the same symptom of different diseases.

AbstractObjectiveTo identify priority areas for schistosomiasis control, we analysed the epidemiological characteristics, temporal trends and spatial patterns of schistosomiasis‐related mortality in the state of Minas Gerais from 2000 to 2019.MethodsEcological and time‐series study with spatial analysis techniques on deaths from Schistosomiasis mansoni. A log‐linear regression model was used to identify changes in mortality rates. Moran's global index, local indicators of spatial association and a retrospective spatio‐temporal permutation model were applied to identify the spatial and temporal distribution of mortality rates and assist in identifying priority areas for interventions.ResultsA total of 1290 deaths from schistosomiasis were recorded between 2000 and 2019, with an average mortality rate of 0.33 deaths/100,000. Although the overall mortality rate in the state of Minas Gerais decreased significantly over time (average annual percentage change = −9.6; 95% confidence interval = −14.4 to −4.6; p < 0.001), it increased in the mesoregions of Jequitinhonha, Mucuri Valley, and Rio Doce Valley. Spatial analysis identified the displacement and emergence of high‐risk clusters from the central region of the state to the mesoregion of Rio Doce Valley.ConclusionTemporal changes and shifting of high‐risk areas from the central region to the mesoregion of Rio Doce Valley may indicate possible failures in early diagnosis and treatment of the schistosomiasis control program in these areas. Our research contributes to a better understanding of the spatio‐temporal dynamics of death rates due to schistosomiasis infections and might help health authorities to direct resources most efficiently to avoid serious clinical outcomes in Minas Gerais.
