Authors: Marín-García Antonio , Gil-Saura Irene , Ruiz-Molina María Eugenia , Berenguer-Contrí Gloria 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThe food sector is currently undergoing a process of transition as a result of the increased level of consumers' awareness towards issues related to sustainability. This work aims at analyzing the existence of links between technological innovation and sustainability and its consequences on variables of paramount importance in the retail sector such as store image and loyalty towards the establishment. Moreover, we examine if the strength of these relations differs across store formats.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the objective of this work, a theoretical model based on the literature is proposed, contrasted through an empirical study carried out in a sample of 510 customers from three food retail formats: hypermarkets, supermarkets and discount stores.FindingsThe results indicate that technological innovation strengthens sustainability. In addition, sustainability is postulated as a dynamic element of the store's image and loyalty. The intensity of these relationships may vary depending on the commercial format.Practical implicationsThe implementation of innovative and sustainable practices such as reducing energy consumption, the use of recycled materials to manufacture products, and the participation of retail companies in collective social actions is considered to be of primary importance.Originality/valueThe study sheds light on the knowledge of the relations between customers' perceptions of technological innovation and sustainability in retailing, confirming their influence on store image and customer loyalty. Moreover, the findings reveal the importance of sustainability and innovation for the main types of retail food store format, although with some peculiarities that allow to draw relevant managerial implications for practitioners.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on bank systemic risk: some cross-country evidence
Authors: Yan Yuanyun , Jeon Bang Nam , Wu Ji 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThis study tends to investigate how the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected banks' contribution to systemic risk. In addition, the authors examine whether the impact of the pandemic may vary across advanced/emerging economies, and with banks with differed characteristics.Design/methodology/approachThe authors construct the bank-specific conditional value at risk (CoVaR) and marginal expected shortfall (MES) to measure their contribution to systemic risk and define the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic by the timing when countries report more than 100 confirmed cases. The authors use the approach of difference-in-differences to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on banks' contribution to systemic risk. This sample comprises monthly panel data of around 900 listed commercial banks in 39 advanced and emerging economies.FindingsThe authors find that, firstly, the COVID-19 pandemic increased banks' contribution to systemic risk significantly around the world. Secondly, the impact of the COVID-19 virus was more pronounced in developed countries than in emerging economies. Finally, banks with a larger size and higher loan-to-deposit ratio are more greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, while a higher capitalization for banks is insufficient to shelter them from the adverse impact of such pandemic.Originality/valueThe authors assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on banks' contribution to systemic risk. Using the conditional value at risk (marginal expected shortfall) of banks as the measure, this study’s results suggest that banks' contribution to systemic risk increases by around 25% (48%) amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This study’s findings may shed some light on the potential policies that financial regulators may employ to ameliorate the adverse outcomes of the ongoing pandemic.
The influence of institutional and in-group collectivism practices on next-generation engagement in the family business
Authors: Torres Pedro , Augusto Mário , Quaresma Rui 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThis research aims to investigate the influence of country culture on the next generation's intention to become managerial leaders of the family business, focussing on institutional and in-group collectivism practices. The authors investigate not only the direct effect of these collectivism practices on next-generation engagement, but also the extent to which institutional and/or in-group collectivism moderate the relationship between parental support and next-generation engagement and the extent to which institutional and/or in-group collectivism moderate the relationship between self-efficacy and next-generation engagement.Design/methodology/approachUsing cross-national data from the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students' Survey (GUESSS) and the Global Leadership and Organisational Behaviour Effectiveness (GLOBE), hierarchical linear modelling (HLM) is employed to test the hypotheses using a sample of 33,390 observations collected in 20 countries.FindingsThe main findings show that both institutional and in-group collectivism practices may increase next-generation engagement levels. Furthermore, these cultural practices can amplify the relationship between family business self-efficacy and next-generation engagement. However, institutional collectivism can slightly reduce the positive effect of parental support on family offspring's intention to become leaders of the family business. The results also reveal that parental support has a stronger direct effect on next-generation engagement than family business self-efficacy.Originality/valueThis study examines the influence of cultural practices on next-generation engagement, focussing on collectivism practices. The study distinguishes between institutional collectivism and in-group collectivism. Unlike past research, a direct effect of parental support on next-generation engagement is considered. The study also uses a particular type of self-efficacy: family business self-efficacy. In addition, a multi-level method is employed, which is rarely used in this context.
Estimation and prediction in generalized half logistic lifetime model using hybrid censored data
Authors: Soni Sakshi , Shukla Ashish Kumar , Kumar Kapil 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThis article aims to develop procedures for estimation and prediction in case of Type-I hybrid censored samples drawn from a two-parameter generalized half-logistic distribution (GHLD).Design/methodology/approachThe GHLD is a versatile model which is useful in lifetime modelling. Also, hybrid censoring is a time and cost-effective censoring scheme which is widely used in the literature. The authors derive the maximum likelihood estimates, the maximum product of spacing estimates and Bayes estimates with squared error loss function for the unknown parameters, reliability function and stress-strength reliability. The Bayesian estimation is performed under an informative prior set-up using the “importance sampling technique”. Afterwards, we discuss the Bayesian prediction problem under one and two-sample frameworks and obtain the predictive estimates and intervals with corresponding average interval lengths. Applications of the developed theory are illustrated with the help of two real data sets.FindingsThe performances of these estimates and prediction methods are examined under Type-I hybrid censoring scheme with different combinations of sample sizes and time points using Monte Carlo simulation techniques. The simulation results show that the developed estimates are quite satisfactory. Bayes estimates and predictive intervals estimate the reliability characteristics efficiently.Originality/valueThe proposed methodology may be used to estimate future observations when the available data are Type-I hybrid censored. This study would help in estimating and predicting the mission time as well as stress-strength reliability when the data are censored.
Can independent hotels survive? A case study of how technology changes the industry
Authors: Darras Barquissau Nathalie , Pett Timothy L. , Fontan Sers Charlotte 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this case study is to examine the hospitality industry by exploring the activities of a small, independent hotel. The hotel was experiencing disruption in recent years due to technology, intense competition and changes in customer preferences.

Design/methodology/approach
This case study uses a qualitative methodology approach by interviewing two generations of family members that were on the brink of failure. Discussions included ways and activities in which the business was exploring that could be identified to address the loss of customers and revenues because of the digitalization of the industry.

Findings
The case findings indicate that by creating a new hybrid business model can provide a successful direction for owners facing digitization with an industry. The findings suggest creating a new hybrid business model can provide improvements in areas such as financial stability and cost reductions, attracting new customers, improved usage of assets and the ability to leverage the technology disruption in the hospitality industry.

Originality/value
This study provides a reflective examination of a small, independent hotel facing financial collapse. However, the family members were able to use the threat of new technologies to create a new opportunity by developing a new hybrid business model that other similar businesses could explore in designing.

Published: January 2023

PurposeThis study draws insight from the leader-member exchange theory to examine the link between supply chain ethical leadership and circular supply chain practices. This study further draws on the contingent theory to explore the interactive effect of environmental orientation and circular supply chain practices on corporate sustainability performance.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a quantitative research approach where partial least square structural equation modelling (SMART PLS) is used to analyse survey data gathered from 122 managers of small and medium enterprises in Ghana.FindingsThis study reports that there is a significant positive relationship between ethical supply chain leadership and circular supply chain practices. The findings further reveal that internal environmental orientation and external environmental orientation moderate the relationship between circular supply chain practices and corporate sustainability performance.Originality/valueThis study sheds light on ethical supply chain leadership's influence on circular supply chain practices. The study also offers an empirical argument to explain contradictory relationships between circular supply chain practices and corporate sustainability performance by applying the contingency roles of internal and external environmental orientation.
Six decades of North American bird banding records reveal plasticity in migration phenology
Authors: Horton Kyle G. , Morris Sara R. , Van Doren Benjamin M. , Covino Kristen M. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract

The timing of avian migration has evolved to exploit critical seasonal resources, yet plasticity within phenological responses may allow adjustments to interannual resource phenology. The diversity of migratory species and changes in underlying resources in response to climate change make it challenging to generalize these relationships.

We use bird banding records during spring and fall migration from across North America to examine macroscale phenological responses to interannual fluctuations in temperature and long‐term annual trends in phenology.

In total, we examine 19 species of North American wood warblers (family Parulidae), summarizing migration timing from 2,826,588 banded birds from 1961 to 2018 across 46 sites during spring and 124 sites during fall.

During spring, warmer spring temperatures at banding locations translated to earlier median passage dates for 16 of 19 species, with an average 0.65‐day advancement in median passage for every 1°C increase in temperature, ranging from 0.25 to 1.26 days °C−1. During the fall, relationships were considerably weaker, with only 3 of 19 species showing a relationship with temperature. In those three cases, later departure dates were associated with warmer fall periods. Projecting these trends forward under climate scenarios of temperature change, we forecast continued spring advancements under shared socioeconomic pathways from 2041 to 2060 and 2081 to 2100 and more muted and variable shifts for fall.

These results demonstrate the capacity of long‐distance migrants to respond to interannual fluctuations in temperatures, at least during the spring, and showcase the potential of North American bird banding data understanding phenological trends across a wide diversity of avian species.

Abstract

Escalating conflicts between grassland farming and wintering geese in northern Germany stimulated a long‐term study in order to promote a fair and workable system of compensation of harvest loss. Between 1996 and 2018 standardized experiments were carried out to quantify changes in yield loss and herbage quality. Simultaneously, we weekly monitored the number of geese to relate yield losses to goose numbers and to identify the impact of the different species.

Exclosure experiments were established on conventionally managed grasslands. The number of investigated fields differed over the study period (1990s: n = 6, 2000s: n = 14, 2010s: n = 2–18). On each field, we established 12 marked plots (4.5 m2), six with exclosures from early November until the first cut of grass in May and six with access for the geese. In all plots dry biomass and the quality of herbage (contents of energy, crude protein, crude fibre and ash) were determined at first and second harvest.

The total goose‐dependent yield losses at first harvest increased from 15% in the year 1996/97 to 50% at the end of the 2010s. The increase corresponds with changes in the maximum numbers and the migratory behaviour of the barnacle goose Branta leucopsis. Yield reductions correlated positively with densities of barnacle geese present in April. In contrast, we found no decline in grassland yields with increasing numbers of greater white‐fronted geese Anser albifrons. In all periods second harvest was not affected.

The combined maximum number of both geese which were counted over approximately 23,000 ha of grasslands increased until 2002/03 but levelled off with numbers around 100,000 birds thereafter. While the maximum wintering population of greater white‐fronted geese dropped since 2007/08, the maximum number of barnacle geese increased until mid of 2010s. An increasing proportion of barnacle geese delayed their departure until May.

Within each year grazed plots possessed higher energy and crude protein contents than ungrazed controls, suggesting that the geese maximize their potential nutrient intake rate by grazing.

Synthesis and applications. The present study reveals a significant increase in goose‐related loss of grassland yields which form the basis for a fair and comprehensible system of compensation payments to affected farmers.
Relative importance of two bat species as pollinators of Neobuxbaumia tetetzo (Cactaceae): Evidences from morphometric and pollen load analyses

Published: January 2023

AbstractNeobuxbaumia tetetzo is a columnar cactus whose flowers are visited by the bat species Choeronycteris mexicana and Leptonycteris yerbabuenae. Although both bat species are considered the pollinators of N. tetetzo, the probability of pollination of each bat species has not been estimated. In this study, we determine the relative importance of C. mexicana and L. yerbabuenae as pollinators of N. tetetzo. The probability of pollination was estimated using two different approaches: (i) morphological correspondence between head (linear traits [total head length, snout length, and face height and width]) and cranial traits (shape traits) of bats and flower traits (linear [internal floral tube length including and excluding the nectary, corolla diameter, stamen length, style length, and corolla tube diameter] and shape traits), and (ii) pollen load analyses to estimate the percentage of occurrence (PO) and the pollination probability index (PPI). Our results showed a lack of a significant correspondence between both head and cranial traits of C. mexicana and the flowers of N. tetetzo, and linear morphological correspondence between total head length of L. yerbabuenae and flower length. Pollen loads of C. mexicana were composed by seven different pollen types, its PO and PPI were 41.87 ± 9.53% and 0.29, respectively. Leptonycteris yerbabuenae pollen loads were composed by three pollen types, with a PO of 78.29 ± 13.67% and a PPI of 0.67. Our results suggest that whereas C. mexicana has a low constancy to the flowers of N. tetetzo, L. yerbabuenae has a higher probability of pollination.

AbstractObjectiveThe Accelerating Innovation for Mothers project established a new database of candidate medicines under development between 2000 and 2021 for five pregnancy‐related conditions, including fetal growth restriction. The objective was to assess medicines for fetal growth restriction and their potential for clinical use globally.DesignLandscape analysis.SettingGlobal (focus on low‐ and middle‐income countries, LMICs).SampleDrugs, dietary supplements and biologics under investigation for prevention or treatment of fetal growth restriction.MethodsA research pipeline database of medicines was created through searching AdisInsight, PubMed and various grant and clinical trial databases. Analysis of clinical and preclinical candidates were descriptive.Main Outcomes MeasuresFetal growth restriction candidates in clinical development were identified and ranked as high, medium or low potential based on prespecified criteria, including efficacy, safety and accessibility.ResultsOf the 444 unique candidates in the database across all five pregnancy‐related conditions, 63 were for fetal growth restriction. Of these, 31 were in clinical development (phases I, II or III) and 32 were in preclinical development. Three candidates, aspirin, l‐arginine and vitamin D, were ranked as having high potential as preventive agents. There were no high‐potential candidates for treating fetal growth restriction, although five candidates were ranked as having medium potential: allylestrenol, dalteparin, omega‐3 fatty acids, tadalafil, and United Nations International Multiple Micronutrient Antenatal Preparation (UNIMMAP).Conclusionsl‐Arginine, aspirin and vitamin D are promising, high‐potential preventative agents for fetal growth restriction. Based on the medicines pipeline, new pharmacological agents for fetal growth restriction are unlikely to emerge in the near future.
COInr and mkCOInr: Building and customizing a nonredundant barcoding reference database from BOLD and NCBI using a semi‐automated pipeline
Authors: Meglécz Emese 
Published: January 2023

AbstractReference databases with wide taxonomic coverage are greatly needed in many fields of biology, most particularly for the taxonomic assignment of metabarcoding sequences. Therefore, it is fundamental to be able to access and pool data from different primary databases. The COInr database is a freely available, easy‐to‐access database of COI reference sequences extracted from the BOLD and NCBI nucleotide databases. It is a comprehensive database: not limited to a taxon, a gene region or a taxonomic rank; therefore, it is a good starting point for creating custom databases. Sequences are dereplicated between databases and within taxa. Each taxon has a unique taxonomic identifier (taxID), fundamental to avoid ambiguous associations of homonyms and synonyms in the source database. TaxIDs form a coherent hierarchical system fully compatible with the NCBI taxIDs, allowing their full or ranked lineages to be created. The mkcoinr tool is a series of Perl scripts designed to download sequences from BOLD and NCBI, to build the COInr database and to customize it according to the users’ needs. It is possible to select or eliminate sequences for a list of taxa, select a specific gene region, select for minimum taxonomic resolution, add new custom sequences, and format the database for blast, vtam, qiime and rdp classifier. This is a semi‐automated pipeline using command lines in a Linux environment. The COInr database can be downloaded from https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6555985 and mkcoinr and its full documentation is available at https://github.com/meglecz/mkCOInr.

AbstractPlatelets are uniquely positioned as mediators of not only hemostasis but also innate immunity. However, how age and geriatric conditions such as frailty influence platelet function during an immune response remains unclear. We assessed the platelet transcriptome at baseline and following influenza vaccination in Younger (age 21–35) and Older (age ≥65) adults (including community‐dwelling individuals who were largely non‐frail and skilled nursing facility (SNF)‐resident adults who nearly all met criteria for frailty). Prior to vaccination, we observed an age‐associated increase in the expression of platelet activation and mitochondrial RNAs and decrease in RNAs encoding proteins mediating translation. Age‐associated differences were also identified in post‐vaccination response trajectories over 28 days. Using tensor decomposition analysis, we found increasing RNA expression of genes in platelet activation pathways in young participants, but decreasing levels in (SNF)‐resident adults. Translation RNA trajectories were inversely correlated with these activation pathways. Enhanced platelet activation was found in community‐dwelling older adults at the protein level, compared to young individuals both prior to and post‐vaccination; whereas SNF residents showed decreased platelet activation compared to community‐dwelling older adults that could reflect the influence of decreased translation RNA expression. Our results reveal alterations in the platelet transcriptome and activation responses that may contribute to age‐associated chronic inflammation and the increased incidence of thrombotic and pro‐inflammatory diseases in older adults.
