Working too much in China's tech industry: corporate social advocacy as a crisis response strategy to issue-based opinion polarization
Authors: Ji Yingru , Wan Chang 
Published: January 2023

PurposeOnce a corporate crisis is entangled with a social issue, how consumers make sense of the crisis can be impacted by issue-based opinion polarization. This study investigates the underlying mechanisms as consumers go through this process. This study also examines whether corporate social advocacy (CSA) can be an effective crisis-response strategy for mitigating reputational loss.Design/methodology/approachTheoretical inquiries were empirically tested using an online experiment (N = 792). The experiment set the context in China, in a working-overtime-issue-related crisis. It had a 2 (online exposure: anti-issue opinion vs. pro-issue opinion) × 2 (CSA: absence vs. presence) between-subject design with a continuous variable (pre-existing issue attitudes) measured before the manipulation.FindingsThis study found that pre-existing issue attitudes can be directly and indirectly associated with corporate reputation, for the issue attitudes influence how consumers attribute crisis blame. Such a direct effect of pre-existing issue attitudes varies depending on which polarized opinion consumers were exposed to on social media. This study also found CSA to be a robust crisis response strategy, through multiple mechanisms, in protecting the corporate reputation.Originality/valueScholars are scarcely aware of the threats that issue-based opinion polarization poses to corporate reputation. This study serves as an early attempt to provide theoretical explanations. In addition to this, this study extends the current conceptual understandings of CSA during corporate crises that involve social issues while adding fresh insights into the established typology of crisis-response strategies.

Published: January 2023

PurposeIncreased demand for new batteries and strict government protocols have stressed the battery industries to collect and recycle used batteries for economic and environmental benefits. This scenario has forced the battery industries to collect used batteries and establish the formal battery recycling plant (BRP) for effective recycling. The starting of BRP includes several strategic decisions, one of the most critical decisions encountered is to find the best sustainable location for BRP. Hence, this paper aims to address the complexity of the issues faced during the BRP location selection through a hybrid framework.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the criteria are identified under socio-cultural, technical, environmental, economic and policy and legal (STEEP) dimensions through literature review and experts' opinions. Then, the hybrid methodology integrating fuzzy decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), best worst method (BWM) and technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) has been proposed to find the inter-relationship between criteria, the weights of criteria and the best alternative.FindingsThe identified five main criteria and 26 sub-criteria have been analyzed through fuzzy DEMATEL, and found that the policy and legal criteria have more inter-relationship with other criteria. Then from BWM results, it is found that the support from government bodies has attained the maximum weightage. Finally, the second alternative has been identified as a more suitable location for establishing BRP using TOPSIS. Further, it is found from the results that the support from government bodies, the impact of emissions, availability of basic facilities and community health are the essential criteria under STEEP dimensions for establishing BRP.Originality/valueIn addition to the various existing sustainable criteria, this study has also considered a set of policy and legal criteria for the evaluation of locations for BRP. Further, the hybrid MCDM method has been proposed in this study for selecting the best alternative. Thus, this study has yielded more insights to the decision-makers in choosing a sustainable location for BRP.

Published: January 2023

PurposeTotal Productive Maintenance (TPM) could act as a practical approach to offer sustainability deliverables in manufacturing firms aligning with the natural resource-based view (NRBV) theory's strategic capabilities: pollution prevention, product stewardship and sustainable development. Also, the emergence of Blockchain Technology (BCT) and Circular Economy (CE) are proven to deliver sustainable outcomes in the past literature. Therefore, the present research examines the relationship between BCT and CE and TPM's direct and mediation effect through the lens of NRBV theory.Design/methodology/approachThe current study proposes a conceptual framework to examine the relationship between BCT, CE and TPM and validates the framework through the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. Responses from 316 Indian manufacturing firms were collected to conduct the analysis.FindingsThe investigation outcomes indicate that BCT positively influences CE and TPM and that TPM has a significant positive impact on CE under the premises of NRBV theory. The results also suggest that TPM partially mediates the relationship between BCT and CE.Research limitations/implicationsThis research fills a gap in the literature by investigating the effect of BCT and TPM on CE within the framework of the NRBV theory. It explores the link between BCT, TPM and CE under the NRBV theory's strategic capabilities and TPM mediation.Practical implicationsThe positive influence of TPM and BCT on CE could initiate the amalgamation of BCT-TPM, improving the longevity of production equipment and products and speeding up the implementation of CE practices.Originality/valueThis research fills a gap in the literature by investigating the effect of BCT and TPM on CE within the framework of the NRBV theory. It explores the link between BCT, TPM and CE under the NRBV theory's strategic capabilities along with TPM mediation.

Authors: Ho Kevin K.W. , Li Ning , Sayama Kristina C. 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThis research uses a multifaceted approach to develop an MPA/MPP curriculum to support a data science track within the existing MPA/MPP programs by identifying the core and elective areas needed.Design/methodology/approachThe approach includes (1) identifying a suitable structure for MPA/MPP programs which can allow the program to develop its capacity to train students with the data science and general public administration skills to solve public policy problems and leave explicit space for local experimentation and modification; (2) defining bridging modules and required modules for the MPA/MPP programs; and (3) developing of data science track thought to make suggestions for the inclusion of suitable data science modules into the data science track and benchmarking the data science modules suggested with the best practices developed by other professional bodies. The authors review 46 NASPAA-accredited MPA/MPP programs from 40 (or 22.7%) schools to identify the suitable required modules and some potential data science and analytics courses that MPA/MPP programs currently provide as electives.FindingsThe proposal includes a three-course (six–nine credits, not counted in the program but as prerequisites) bridging module, a nine-course (27 credits) required module and a five-course (15 credits) data science track/concentration.Originality/valueThis work can provide a starting point for the public administration education community to develop graduate programs focusing on data science to cater to the needs of both public managers and society at large.
Putting the Aumann–Serrano Riskiness Index to work
Authors: Nisani Doron , Shelef Amit , David Or 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to estimate the convergence order of the Aumann–Serrano Riskiness Index.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses the equivalent relation between the Aumann–Serrano Riskiness Index and the moment generating function and aggregately compares between each two statistical moments for statistical significance. Thus, this study enables to find the convergence order of the index to its stable value.

Findings
This study finds that the first-best estimation of the Aumann–Serrano Riskiness Index is reached in no less than its seventh statistical moment. However, this study also finds that its second-best approximation could be achieved with its second statistical moment.

Research limitations/implications
The implications of this research support the standard deviation as a statistically sufficient approximation of Aumann–Serrano Riskiness Index, thus strengthening the CAPM methodology for asset pricing in the financial markets.

Originality/value
This research sheds a new light, both in theory and in practice, on understanding of the risk’s structure, as it may improve accuracy of asset pricing.
Sharing leadership behaviors in virtual teams: effects of shared leadership behaviors on team member satisfaction and productivity

Published: January 2023

Purpose
Virtual collaboration in teams becomes increasingly popular at work. With the advantages of working in virtual teams come leadership challenges for which the shared leadership theory is discussed as a potential solution. While previous empirical studies investigating shared leadership in virtual teams generally confirm positive effects on team outcomes, this study aims to investigate in detail the leadership behaviors that are typically shared in these settings and how these shared leadership behaviors affect individual level outcomes.

Design/methodology/approach
Individuals from different teams participated in a questionnaire study (n = 411). Structural equation modeling was used to assess the effects of shared task- and relations-oriented leadership behaviors on team member’s subjectively perceived productivity and satisfaction with leadership.

Findings
Results indicate that shared task-oriented leadership behaviors have a significant positive effect on subjectively perceived productivity and satisfaction with leadership, while relations-oriented leadership behaviors have a significant negative effect. A hypothesis stipulating a moderating effect of task interdependence was not confirmed.

Practical implications
Practical implications include that in virtual teams with hierarchical organizational structures, it may be recommended that task-oriented leadership behaviors are shared among team members, whereas relations-oriented leadership behaviors should remain the responsibility of the official leader.

Originality/value
The findings complement previous research with new insights on behavioral dimensions of shared leadership and their effects on outcomes on the level of the individual.
The utility of histology in assessing the cause of death in medico‐legal autopsies in selected trauma deaths: Suspension‐, immersion‐, fire‐, and traffic‐related

Published: January 2023

AbstractThe goal of a medico‐legal autopsy is primarily to determine the cause and manner of death. To this end, the pathologist often uses auxiliary analyses, including histology. However, the utility of routine histology in all medico‐legal autopsies is unknown. Earlier studies on the utility of routine histology have shown inconsistent effects, with some studies recommending it and others rejecting it. To study the degree to which histology informs on the underlying cause of death, we sent autopsy reports from suspension‐, immersion‐, fire‐, and traffic‐related deaths to senior board‐certified forensic pathologists and had them assess the cause of death, first without knowledge of the histological findings and then with knowledge thereof. Fifty cases were identified in each of four subgroups: fire‐, immersion‐, suspension‐, and traffic‐related deaths. The autopsy reports were anonymized, and the histological findings and conclusions were removed. Two board‐certified forensic pathologists independently reviewed the reports in each subgroup and assessed the manner and underlying cause of death (including their certainty of this assessment on a five‐level scale) with and without access to histological findings. The probability of changing the underlying cause of death posthistology was low in all study groups. There was a slight increase in the degree of certainty posthistology in cases where the underlying cause of death was not changed, but only when the antehistology certainty was low. Our results suggest that histology does not meaningfully inform on the underlying cause of death in suspension‐, immersion‐, fire‐, and traffic‐related deaths except when antehistology certainty is low.

Published: January 2023

AbstractIntroductionThere is increasing evidence in the literature to support venous sinus stenting in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension who fail first‐line therapy. Venous sinus stenting is a safe and successful technique compared with cerebrospinal fluid diversion procedures. This study examines the clinical outcomes of patients post intracranial venous stenting for intracranial hypertension across three tertiary hospitals in Western Australia.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 83 consecutive patients treated with intracranial venous stenting for IIH at three tertiary hospitals from October 2013 to March 2020. Data were collected from outpatient clinic letters, electronic discharge letters, electronic radiological imaging and procedural reports.Results89.2% patients were able to cease Acetazolomide post stenting. 78.3% patients reported resolution of headaches. 84.3% patients demonstrated resolution of their papilloedema. 91.6% patients demonstrated improvement of their visual acuity. Compared with a recent meta‐analysis by Satti and Chaudry in 2015, our results demonstrated a higher technical success rate and lower complication rates.ConclusionOur study findings support the paradigm shift from CSF diversion procedures to venous sinus stenting in patients with IIH who fail first‐line therapy. Venous sinus stenting has a high technical success rate and significantly lower complication rates than other invasive treatments.
Indocyanine green navigation in minimally invasive resection of multiple metachronous pulmonary metastases of hepatoblastoma

Published: January 2023

AbstractPulmonary metastases from hepatoblastoma (HB) have traditionally been identified by preoperative computed tomography scan image evaluation, and intraoperative visual and palpatory examinations through thoracotomy have been generally recommended. However, the safety and accuracy of surgery can be problematic in patients with small multiple lung metastases due to postoperative respiratory dysfunction risk secondary to decreased residual lung capacity in wedge resections. We present an 8‐month‐old patient with metastatic HB with multiple metachronous pulmonary lesions in whom thoracoscopic lung resections were performed guided by indocyanine green (ICG) administered intravenously 24 h earlier (0.5 mg/kg). ICG fluorescence allowed identification and limited resection of lung parenchyma, avoiding postoperative respiratory dysfunction. A total of 16 lung lesions were resected during four operations (two bilateral and two right thoracoscopies), with no postoperative complications. ICG‐guided thoracoscopic surgery allowed identification and resection of metastatic nodules in both lungs during the same procedure, achieving a hospital stay of less than 3 days for each intervention. The patient is currently 24 months old and remains asymptomatic, with no distant disease at the last imaging control. ICG‐guided resection via a thoracoscopic approach is particularly useful in patients with multiple and/or metachronous metastases requiring multiple surgical interventions.

Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundVolatile propofol can be measured in exhaled air and correlates to plasma concentrations with a time delay. However, the effect of single‐lung ventilation on exhaled propofol is unclear. Therefore, our goal was to evaluate exhaled propofol concentrations during single‐lung compared to double‐lung ventilation using double‐lumen tubes.MethodsIn a first step, we quantified adhesion of volatile propofol to the inner surface of double‐lumen tubes during double‐ and single‐lumen ventilation in vitro. In a second step, we enrolled 30 patients scheduled for lung surgery in two study centers. Anesthesia was provided with propofol and remifentanil. We utilized left‐sided double‐lumen tubes to separately ventilate each lung. Exhaled propofol concentrations were measured at 1‐min intervals and plasma for propofol analyses was sampled every 20 min. To eliminate the influence of dosing on volatile propofol concentration, exhalation rate was normalized to plasma concentration.ResultsIn‐vitro ventilation of double‐lumen tubes resulted in increasing propofol concentrations at the distal end of the tube over time. In vitro clamping the bronchial lumen led to an even more pronounced increase (Δ AUC +62%) in propofol gas concentration over time. Normalized propofol exhalation during lung surgery was 31% higher during single‐lung compared to double‐lung ventilation.ConclusionDuring single‐lung ventilation, propofol concentration in exhaled air, in contrast to our expectations, increased by approximately one third. However, this observation might not be affected by change in perfusion‐ventilation during single‐lung ventilation but rather arises from reduced propofol absorption on the inner surface area of the double‐lumen tube. Thus, it is only possible to utilize exhaled propofol concentration to a limited extent during single‐lung ventilation.Registration of Clinical TrialDRKS‐ID DRKS00014788 (www.drks.de).

AbstractThere is an urgent need to identify modifiable environmental risk factors that reduce the incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The B‐like vitamin choline plays key roles in body‐ and brain‐related functions. Choline produced endogenously by the phosphatidylethanolamine N‐methyltransferase protein in the liver is not sufficient for adequate physiological functions, necessitating daily dietary intake. ~90% of Americans do not reach the recommended daily intake of dietary choline. Thus, it's imperative to determine whether dietary choline deficiency increases disease outcomes. Here, we placed 3xTg‐AD, a model of AD, and non‐transgenic (NonTg) control mice on either a standard laboratory diet with sufficient choline (ChN; 2.0 g/kg choline bitartrate) or a choline‐deficient diet (Ch‐; 0.0 g/kg choline bitartrate) from 3 to 12 (early to late adulthood) months of age. A Ch‐ diet reduced blood plasma choline levels, increased weight, and impaired both motor function and glucose metabolism in NonTg mice, with 3xTg‐AD mice showing greater deficits. Tissue analyses showed cardiac and liver pathology, elevated soluble and insoluble Amyloid‐β and Thioflavin S structures, and tau hyperphosphorylation at various pathological epitopes in the hippocampus and cortex of 3xTg‐AD Ch‐ mice. To gain mechanistic insight, we performed unbiased proteomics of hippocampal and blood plasma samples. Dietary choline deficiency altered hippocampal networks associated with microtubule function and postsynaptic membrane regulation. In plasma, dietary choline deficiency altered protein networks associated with insulin metabolism, mitochondrial function, inflammation, and fructose metabolic processing. Our data highlight that dietary choline intake is necessary to prevent systems‐wide organ pathology and reduce hallmark AD pathologies.

Published: January 2023

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesA large portion of veterans referred to substance use disorder (SUD) treatment do not attend their first appointment or leave treatment prematurely. Telehealth options may increase access to care and treatment attendance. This study compared treatment initiation and retention between in‐person treatment pre‐COVID‐19 and telehealth treatment during COVID‐19 in a VA hospital outpatient alcohol and drug treatment clinic.MethodsElectronic health record data were collected on 373 veterans out of 481 referrals. Mixed logistic and negative binomial regression models were used for estimating the effect of treatment modality on treatment initiation and retention, respectively.ResultsThe odds of initiating treatment were 2.6 times greater when referred to a telehealth appointment during COVID‐19 compared to an in‐person appointment pre‐COVID‐19. Months retained in treatment postinitiation was similar between treatment modalities. Each month in treatment corresponded to a subsequently lower rate of treatment session attendance and by the fourth month, the average number of sessions attended was significantly lower for those receiving in‐person treatment compared to those receiving telehealth treatment.Conclusions and Scientific SignificanceThe odds of initiating SUD treatment and rate of treatment attendance over time was greater for services delivered via telehealth during COVID‐19 compared to in‐person pre‐COVID‐19. Extending telehealth services as an option for individual and group SUD treatment may promote treatment initiation and potentially higher rate of attendance over time. This study provides additional evidence for the feasibility and utility of rapidly expanding telehealth for veterans seeking outpatient substance use treatment.
