Bank's service failures and bank customers' switching behavior: does bank reputation matter?
Authors: Zhao Cong , Noman Abu Hanifa Md. , Hassan Mohammad Kabir 
Published: January 2023

PurposeBanks' service failures are a major determinant of bank customers' switching behavior, which ultimately affects the profitability and stability of banks. Guided by the expectancy violation theory (EVT), this study aims to examine whether and how bank reputation influences the relationship between service failure and customers' switching behavior in the Malaysian banking industry.Design/methodology/approachBy distributing questionnaires to Malaysian bank account holders, the authors gathered 320 usable responses, which were subsequently subjected to explanatory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Logit regression, Probit regression and independent-variables T-test to identify and elucidate the relationship existent between the dependent and independent variables.FindingsThis study discovered that bank reputation affects the bank customers' switching behavior directly and indirectly via banks' service failure, thereby verifying the application of EVT in the context of customer management.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough the profile of respondents in this study presents a reasonable representation of the Malaysian population, the use of convenience (non-probability) sampling method via online survey may not provide generalizable results.Originality/valueThis study empirically revealed that bank reputation plays a moderator role between service failure in banks and customers' bank-switching behavior. This observation offers useful insights to bank managers into the role of bank reputation in managing customers' switching behavior.
Unlocking the benefits of diversity among healthcare workforces: a holistic view
Authors: Perrigino Matthew B. , Jenkins Marjorie 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThe increasing diversity among workforces – as well as the increasing diversity among patient populations served – offers a variety of opportunities and potential pitfalls for healthcare organizations and leaders. To unravel this complexity, the authors aim to holistically understand how to maximize provider and patient experiences regardless of (1) the degree to which diversity is present or lacking, and (2) the type(s) of diversity under consideration.Design/methodology/approachThis conceptual paper develops a framework that combines three organizational behavior theories – emotional labor theory, similarity-attraction theory and climate theory – with evidence from the broader healthcare literature.FindingsAuthentic interactions yield positive outcomes for providers (i.e. improved job attitudes and work-related well-being) and patients (i.e. patient satisfaction) and acts as a mediator between demographic diversity and positive outcomes. Demographic similarity facilitates authentic interactions, whereas demographic diversity creates an initial barrier to engaging authentically with others. However, the presence of a positive diversity climate eliminates this barrier.Originality/valueThe authors offer a conceptual model to unlock positive outcomes – including reduced absenteeism, better morale and improved patient satisfaction – regardless of the level and types of diversity present within the workforce. In addition to deriving an agenda for future research, the authors offer practical applications regarding how diversity can be more effectively managed and promoted within healthcare organizations.
Lessons learned in the field: conducting qualitative research with Bangladeshi immigrant communities in Lisbon, Brussels and Boston
Authors: Khan Rodela Anjum 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThis article presents fieldwork perspectives gained from conducting qualitative research among Bangladeshi immigrant communities in Lisbon (Portugal), Boston (Massachusetts – USA) and Brussels (Belgium). This discussion will primarily benefit those who conduct, or are interested in, undertaking qualitative research with Bangladeshi immigrants, one of the largest immigrant communities represented globally.Design/methodology/approachThe author conducted 32 semi-structured interviews using a qualitative descriptive approach.FindingsThe author discusses and demonstrates effective strategies to acquire meaningful insights from fieldwork while interviewing Bangladeshi immigrants. Though maintaining standard criteria for producing credible qualitative research is crucial, the adoption of a flexible and dynamic approach is also necessary. The article highlights versatile approaches taken in the following four areas: (1) establishing community presence, (2) managing informed consent, (3) adjusting research instruments and protocols, and (4) dealing with unexpected situations during fieldwork. Moreover, these elements are examined within the context of navigating the role and positionality of the researcher.Research limitations/implicationsThe generalizability of these techniques is limited to this study, but similar issues in conducting qualitative research with Bangladeshi communities and other immigrant groups can be found.Originality/valueThis paper addresses a gap in the discussion of fieldwork strategies for conducting qualitative research with Bangladeshi immigrant communities. Practical knowledge for researchers facilitating qualitative research with this group is relatively scarce despite the growing presence of these communities globally.
The impact of using digital technologies on supply chain resilience and robustness: the role of memory under the covid-19 outbreak
Authors: Alvarenga Murilo Zamboni , Oliveira Marcos Paulo Valadares de , Oliveira Tiago André Gonçalves Félix de 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
This paper’s main aim is to check the mediating effect of supply chain memory in the relationship between using digital technologies and both supply chain resilience and robustness. In addition, the impact of the COVID-19 disruption was tested as a moderator of the impact of supply chain memory on supply chain resilience and robustness.

Design/methodology/approach
Altogether, 257 supply chain managers answered the questionnaire, and data were analysed through structural equation modelling.

Findings
This paper contributes to theory and practice by demonstrating that the experience, familiarity and knowledge to deal with disruptions partially mediate the relationship between digital technologies, resilience and robustness. Moreover, our results show that memory is less efficient for the supply chain to maintain an acceptable level of performance in case of a new extreme disruptive event like COVID-19. The full model was able to explain 36.90% of supply chain memory, 41.58% of supply chain resilience and 46.21% of supply chain robustness.

Originality/value
The study helps to understand how to develop supply chain memory, positioning digital technologies as an antecedent of it. The impact of supply chain memory on supply chain resilience and robustness is proved. Knowledge about the impact of industry 4.0 technologies on disruption management is quantitatively improved. It demonstrates that digital technologies impact resilience and robustness mainly through supply chain memory. The study proves that supply chain memory is less efficient for the chain remains effective when a non-routine disruptive event occurs, but it is still imperative to recover from it.
Assimilated or the boundary of Whiteness expanded? A boundary model of group belonging
Authors: Karimi Aryan , Wilkes Rima 
Published: January 2023

AbstractIn 19th century U.S., European ethnics were considered dark‐skinned and working‐class. By the 1950s, they were re‐categorized as White Americans. Assimilation theory suggests that Europeans' intergroup interactions such as socioeconomic attainments and intermarriage with Anglo‐Saxon Whites led to their assimilation and racial re‐categorization. The theory anticipates that class mobility translates into re‐categorization into Whiteness such that non‐Europeans' upward mobility will also propel them into Whiteness. Despite non‐Europeans' successful intergroup interactions, their assimilation and belonging is still up for debate. If both Europeans and non‐Europeans have participated in similar rates of intergroup interactions, which other factor has determined their differential assimilation outcomes? In response, we conceptualize a boundary model for understanding group belonging. To do so, we distinguish between symbolic and phenotype or somatic race. The former provides and attaches meanings to soma. This boundary model comprises the combined effects of individuals' intergroup interactions and majority groups' symbolic racial boundary expansion‐contraction. Assimilation outcome occurs only when majority groups' boundary expands to recognize intergroup interactions as meaningful and to include newcomers as racial group insiders. We revisit the case of European ethnics to show that the symbolic boundary of Whiteness expanded to re‐categorize them as assimilated Whites. Accordingly, we formulate four hypotheses about the possibilities of re‐categorizing groups in and out of a master category such as Whiteness.

Published: January 2023

AbstractKiwifruit is a common and popular fruit around the world. However, white peach scale (Pseudaulacaspis pentagona [Targioni‐Tozzetti]), a scale insect with a wide range of hosts, seriously affects the yield and quality of kiwifruit. To investigate the differences in resistance of different kiwifruit cultivars to P. pentagona, cellular structure and gene expression assays were used to explain the mechanism. Based on the stability of the infestation rate, we selected four cultivars from 50 kiwifruits for in‐depth study, including ‘LC‐04285’, ‘CF‐3’, ‘DA‐7B’ and ‘Hayward’. The anatomical structure of the canes analysis revealed that the resistant cultivar ‘LC‐04285’ had thicker cuticle, denser epidermis and cortex. The expression levels of genes related to cuticle synthesis and formation of epidermis and cortex were also higher in ‘LC‐04285’. Further investigation revealed that Jasmonic acid (JA) receptors COI1 were highly expressed in ‘LC‐04285’. However, the expression levels of AcJAZs were higher in the susceptible cultivar ‘Hayward’. Besides, AcICS, AcPAL4, AcPAL5 and AcNPRs, which were involved in salicylic acid (SA) synthesis and SA response, were also highly expressed in ‘LC‐04285’. Our results preliminarily revealed the mechanism of kiwifruit resistance to P. pentagona at the molecular and cellular levels. This study provided useful guidance for breeding insect‐resistant kiwifruit in the future.
Do Immigrants Move to Welfare? Subnational Evidence from Switzerland
Authors: Ferwerda Jeremy , Marbach Moritz , Hangartner Dominik 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThe welfare magnet hypothesis holds that immigrants are likely to relocate to regions with generous welfare benefits. Although this assumption has motivated extensive reforms to immigration policy and social programs, the empirical evidence remains contested. In this study, we assess detailed administrative records from Switzerland covering the full population of social assistance recipients between 2005 and 2015. By leveraging local variations in cash transfers and exogenous shocks to benefit levels, we identify how benefits shape intracountry residential decisions. We find limited evidence that immigrants systematically move to localities with higher benefits. The lack of significant welfare migration within a context characterized by high variance in benefits and low barriers to movement suggests that the prevalence of this phenomenon may be overstated. These findings have important implications in the European setting where subnational governments often possess discretion over welfare and parties frequently mobilize voters around the issue of “benefit tourism.”
Impact of paternal age on assisted reproductive technology outcomes and offspring health: a systematic review

Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundThe increase in paternal age and the percentage of births after assisted reproductive technologies (ART) may have consequences on offspring and society's position regarding access to ART must be questioned. Most countries recommend limiting ART to men under 60 years. What is the rationale for this threshold?ObjectiveThis systematic review assesses scientific arguments to establish links between paternal age, male fertility, and offspring health.Material and methodsUsing the PRISMA guidelines, this systematic review of the literature analyzed 111 articles selected after screening PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science for articles published between January 1, 1995 and December 31, 2021.ResultsA strong correlation was highlighted between advanced paternal age and a decrease of some sperm parameters (semen volume and sperm motility) and infant morbidity (exponentially increased incidence of achondroplasia and Apert syndrome, and more moderately increased incidence of autism and schizophrenia). The impact of paternal age on pregnancy and fetal aneuploidy rates is more controversial. No association was found with spontaneous abortion rates.Discussion and conclusionThe scientific parameters should be explained to older parents undergoing ART. And for countries that discuss a limit on paternal age for access to ART, the debate requires consideration of social and ethical arguments.

AbstractAimWe aimed to improve bone health management of children with cerebral palsy (CP) by reviewing studies investigating bisphosphonate therapy in children with CP and other types of secondary osteoporosis.MethodsWe included trials on bisphosphonate treatment reporting any direct bone measurement or fracture outcome. All studies of patients with CP were included. We also included all controlled trials of children with secondary bone fragility as well as observational studies with ≥20 participants or at least 3 years of follow‐up. Studies were assessed according to PRISMA guidelines using the RoB2‐tool and the Newcastle‐Ottawa Scale.ResultsWe reviewed 1104 studies and found 37 eligible. Some studies were sufficiently homogeneous to include in a meta‐analysis, and we found a 1‐year effect on lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) Z‐score of +0.65 after oral and + 1.21 after intravenous bisphosphonates in children with secondary osteoporosis. Further, data on adverse events and post‐treatment follow‐up were reviewed. Limitations were heterogeneity and small size of the included studies.ConclusionMeta‐analysis consistently showed significant BMD increases with bisphosphonates in children with secondary osteoporosis. Direct evidence of the effect of bisphosphonates on reducing fractures is lacking. We found no reports of long‐term adverse events yet longer studies are needed.

AbstractBackgroundBetter understanding of the factors associated with formula feeding during the hospital stay can help in identifying potential lactation problems and promote early intervention. Our aim was to ascertain factors associated with exclusive formula feeding in newborns of low‐risk pregnancies.MethodsA population‐based, retrospective study using the United States vital statistics datasets (2014‐2018) evaluating low‐risk pregnancies with a nonanomalous singleton delivery from 37 to 41 weeks. People with hypertensive disorders, or diabetes, were excluded. Primary outcome was newborn feeding (breast vs exclusive formula feeding) during hospital stay. Adjusted relative risks (aRRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated.ResultsOf the 19 623 195 live births during the study period, 11 605 242 (59.1%) met inclusion criteria and among them, 1 929 526 (16.6%) were formula fed. Factors associated with formula feeding included: age < 20 years (aRR 1.31 [95% CI 1.31‐1.32]), non‐Hispanic Black (1.42, 1.41‐1.42), high school education (1.69, 1.69‐1.70) or less than high school education (1.94, 1.93, 1.95), Medicaid insurance (1.52, 1.51, 1.52), body mass index (BMI) < 18.5 (1.10, 1.09‐1.10), BMI 25‐29.9 (1.09, 1.09‐1.09), BMI 30‐34.9 (1.19, 1.19‐1.20), BMI 35‐39.9 (1.31, 1.30‐1.31), BMI ≥ 40 (1.43, 1.42‐1.44), multiparity (1.29, 1.29‐1.30), lack of prenatal care (1.49, 1.48‐1.50), smoking (1.75, 1.74‐1.75), and gestational age (ranged from 37 weeks [1.44, 1.43‐1.45] to 40 weeks [1.11, 1.11‐1.12]).ConclusionsUsing a large cohort of low‐risk pregnancies, we identified several modifiable factors associated with newborn feeding (eg, prepregnancy BMI, access to prenatal care, and smoking cessation). Improving the breast feeding initiation rate should be a priority in our current practice to ensure equitable care for all neonates.

Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundTeachers may play a key role in reducing bullying by responding to incidents among students. Inspired by the theory of planned behaviour, several studies have investigated teachers' bullying‐related cognitions as predictors of their responses to bullying.AimsThis study investigated whether six teachers' bullying‐related cognitions (i.e., perceived seriousness, empathy, attitudes, self‐efficacy and attribution of the bullying) predicted five student‐perceived teachers' responses (i.e., Non‐Intervention, Disciplinary Methods, Victim Support, Mediation and Group Discussion) over time. By examining this objective, more insight into student perceptions of teachers' responses to bullying could also be provided.SampleIn total, 999 upper elementary school students (Mage = 10.61 at Wave 1, SDage = .90; 53.6% girls) and their 59 teachers (Mage = 39.61 at W1, SDage = 11.60; 79.7% female) participated.MethodsA bullying questionnaire was administered in three waves to assess students' perceptions of the teachers' responses. Teachers reported bullying‐related cognitions in the first wave. Multilevel analyses were used to investigate the relative contribution of the predictors on the teachers' responses over time.ResultsNone of the teachers' bullying‐related cognitions significantly predicted the teachers' specific responses.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that teachers' bullying‐related cognitions are not reflected in their responses to bullying as perceived by students. Moreover, the findings indicate that students' perceptions of teachers' responses vary widely within classrooms and over time. Student‐ and teacher‐reported teachers' responses might differ, and these possible differences should be taken into account.

Published: January 2023

AbstractUsing Yi adolescents in rural China (n = 163) as an example, this qualitative study explored how school ethnic socialization shaped the ethnic identity development and the future self of indigenous youths in mainstream Han‐dominant school settings. Focus groups and thematic analysis were used. Six themes emerged, describing the participants' experiences of mainstream socialization, cultural socialization and multiculturalism within their school and how these practices shape their ethnic identity. Mainstream socialization also shaped their future aspirations by motivating them to utilize their education to contribute to the Yi community and to improve the status of Yi women. While mainstream socialization was seen as undesirable in current literature, our findings suggested that it facilitates ethnic identity development in indigenous adolescents by broadening their horizons to Han cultures if rural schools in China also practice cultural socialization concurrently.
Colorimetric sensing of H2PO4− using a Pb2+ complex of a pyridylazo dye in aqueous solution
Authors: Shimizu Mahiro , Aikawa Shunichi , Fukushima Yasumasa 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis study develops a sensitive and selective colorimetric probe for the detection of dihydrogen phosphate (H2PO4−) based on a lead ion (Pb2+) complex of a commercially available pyridylazo dye (PAPS) in aqueous media under physiological conditions. The complex was made by adding Pb2+ to PAPS in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio (PAPS‐Pb2+), which was accompanied by the remarkable solution change from yellow to purple. The colorimetric sensing of H2PO4− over other anions with PAPS‐Pb2+ occurred owing to the regeneration of original PAPS by the interaction of H2PO4− with Pb2+ in a 1:2 molar ratio. Moreover, the H2PO4− detection was less affected by the presence of other coexisting competitive anions. The colorimetric naked‐eye behaviour of PAPS‐Pb2+ rendered a useful and convenient probe for the detection of H2PO4− via the indicator displacement assay.

AbstractSepsis accounts for one in three hospital deaths. Higher concentrations of high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) are associated with apparent protection from sepsis, suggesting a potential therapeutic role for HDL‐C or drugs, such as cholesteryl ester transport protein (CETP) inhibitors that increase HDL‐C. However, these beneficial clinical associations might be due to confounding; genetic approaches can address this possibility. We identified 73,406 White adults admitted to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with infection; 11,612 had HDL‐C levels, and 12,377 had genotype information from which we constructed polygenic risk scores (PRS) for HDL‐C and the effect of CETP on HDL‐C. We tested the associations between predictors (measured HDL‐C, HDL‐C PRS, CETP PRS, and rs1800777) and outcomes: sepsis, septic shock, respiratory failure, and in‐hospital death. In unadjusted analyses, lower measured HDL‐C concentrations were significantly associated with increased risk of sepsis (p = 2.4 × 10−23), septic shock (p = 4.1 × 10−12), respiratory failure (p = 2.8 × 10−8), and in‐hospital death (p = 1.0 × 10−8). After adjustment (age, sex, electronic health record length, comorbidity score, LDL‐C, triglycerides, and body mass index), these associations were markedly attenuated: sepsis (p = 2.6 × 10−3), septic shock (p = 8.1 × 10−3), respiratory failure (p = 0.11), and in‐hospital death (p = 4.5 × 10−3). HDL‐C PRS, CETP PRS, and rs1800777 significantly predicted HDL‐C (p < 2 × 10−16), but none were associated with sepsis outcomes. Concordant findings were observed in 13,254 Black patients hospitalized with infections. Lower measured HDL‐C levels were significantly associated with increased risk of sepsis and related outcomes in patients with infection, but a causal relationship is unlikely because no association was found between the HDL‐C PRS or the CETP PRS and the risk of adverse sepsis outcomes.
