Ethnic food tasting and gastronomy online reviews: incorporating enjoyment in the behavioral intention model
Authors: Baba Sabreena Nawaz , Dada Zubair Ahmad , Qureshi Reyaz A. 
Published: May 2023

PurposeThis study explores the tourists' behavioral intention toward tasting ethnic food by proposing 'enjoyment’ as an indirect mechanism in improvising the model of Wang. In other words, when affective and cognitive components are triggered positively while reading online gastronomy reviews on social media platforms, enjoyment is aroused, subsequently enhancing the desire to taste ethnic foods displayed online.Design/methodology/approachData from 385 visitors from Kashmir, India, were gathered using a purposive sample technique. The research model was put to the test using PLS-SEM.FindingsDirect and indirect mechanisms influence Behavioral Intention. Enjoyment acts as a mediator. Overall, the results validated the presence of three direct and full mediation paths.Practical implicationsThis study will help tourism practitioners justify their promotional activities on social networking sites, particularly in endorsing regional ethnic dishes. For example, tourism authorities could collaborate with bloggers on social media and offer incentives to promote attractive images of ethnic food. Similarly, ethnic food outlets can improve online exposure and interactivity by encouraging travelers to leave feedback after visits.Originality/valueUnlike other studies, this research broadens our understanding by focusing on direct and indirect mechanisms. The inclusion of a mediator enhanced the total variance of the dependent variable.
Co-worker undermining, emotional exhaustion and organisational commitment: the moderating role of servant leadership

Published: May 2023

PurposeNot much is known about the conditions under which the negative relationship between co-worker undermining and employee outcomes may wax or wane. This study seeks to address this issue by analysing the role of leadership in mitigating the negative impact of co-worker undermining on employee outcomes. Drawing on expectancy violation theory (EVT), the study proposes that servant leadership will alleviate the association between co-worker undermining, emotional exhaustion and consequently organisational commitment.Design/methodology/approachTwo-wave time-lagged data were collected from a sample of 345 nurses working under 33 supervisors in a large public hospital in Malaysia. To account for the nested nature of the data, generalised multilevel structural equation modeling (GSEM) in STATA was used to test the hypotheses.FindingsAfter controlling for transformational leadership, co-worker undermining was indirectly related to organisational commitment via emotional exhaustion, and this indirect relationship was weaker when servant leadership was high.Practical implicationsOrganisations need to invest in interventions that help reduce co-worker undermining and put emphasis on promoting servant leadership.Originality/valueThe study extends the literature by introducing EVT as a new theoretical lens to analyse the consequences of co-worker undermining on employee outcomes. The study also addresses calls for research on the role of leadership in ameliorating the negative consequences of co-worker undermining.
Contract design for a closed-loop supply chain considering information asymmetry of remanufacturing process innovation
Authors: Zhao Senlin , Mao Rongrong 
Published: May 2023

PurposeAsymmetric cost information exists between a supplier and a manufacturer regarding the manufacturer's process innovation for remanufacturing (PIR), which may hurt the supplier's profit. The authors therefore seek to develop a menu of nonlinear pricing contracts for channel information sharing.Design/methodology/approachBased on principal–agent theory, the supplier, acting as a Stackelberg leader, designs a menu of nonlinear pricing contracts to impel the manufacturer to disclose its private cost information on PIR (i.e. PIR efficiency). In addition, the authors compare the equilibrium outcomes under asymmetric and symmetric information to examine the effects of asymmetric PIR information on the production policies and profits of the supplier and the manufacturer.FindingsThe proposed contract menu encourages th4e manufacturer to spontaneously share PIR efficiency information with the supplier. Asymmetric PIR information may distort the output of new products upward or downward, but the output of remanufactured products may only be distorted downward. In addition, the manufacturer with high PIR efficiency gains information rent, and interestingly, the increase in the probability of low PIR efficiency amplifies its information rent. Finally, an asymmetric information environment may increase the threshold for the manufacturer to enter remanufacturing.Originality/valueThe authors probe the issue of the supplier's contract design by jointly considering remanufacturing, process innovation and information asymmetry. The paper expands the influencing mechanism of process innovation information in the remanufacturing field. The authors also observe new results that may offer guidance to decision makers.

Published: May 2023

PurposeThis study aims to optimize the structural design of reinforced concrete columns with variable hollow circular sections.Design/methodology/approachThe columns were optimized according to the criteria of instability (buckling) and mechanical strength (compression and/or tensile strength). To perform the optimizations, routines are developed in Python using the penalty and sequential linearization programming (SLP) function methods to optimize the elements satisfying the buckling and stress criteria.FindingsAt the end of the optimization process, the optimal section is obtained for the example of a circular column with a variable section, this section has an average radius of 5% smaller than that initially defined.Originality/valueThe theoretical basis for column optimization and the structuring of an algorithm in Python language for the computational resolution of these problems are presented in a didactic way, as well as the comparative efficiency of the methods.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of 2‐dimensional shear wave elastography (2D‐SWE) in the assessment of lacrimal gland involvement in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) and to determine the association between ultrasonographic findings and clinical activity measures.MethodForty‐six patients who fulfilled the 2016 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) classification criteria of pSS and 23 age and gender‐matched healthy control subjects were enrolled. Clinical, laboratory and labial biopsy histopathologic characteristics of patients were recorded. Disease activity of pSS and severity of ocular dryness were evaluated with EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI) and Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), respectively. Parotid and lacrimal gland architectures were assessed by B‐mode ultrasound and 2D‐SWE techniques.ResultsMean shear wave elastography measurements, reflecting loss of elasticity, were remarkably higher in pSS patients compared to healthy subjects both in the lacrimal and parotid glands (8.99 ± 3.45 vs 3.68 ± 1.76 in lacrimal glands and 14.14 ± 4.39 vs 7.83 ± 1.69 in parotid glands, all P < 0.001). Shear wave elasticity of lacrimal glands was correlated with OSDI and ESSPRI scores (r = 0.69; P = 0.001 and r = 0.58; P = 0.001, respectively). A cut‐off value of 4.6 kPa in the lacrimal gland elasticity discriminated pSS patients from healthy subjects with a sensitivity of 94% and specificity of 87%.ConclusionResults of our study suggest that lacrimal glands lose elasticity in patients with pSS and the assessment of elasticity with 2D‐SWE might help to classify patients as having pSS. Further studies are needed to validate the diagnostic utility of lacrimal 2D‐SWE by including diseases other than pSS.

Published: May 2023

AbstractIntroductionRestless leg syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by an uncontrollable desire to move legs along with abnormal sensations, particularly at night, which can lead to sleep disturbance. RLS may mimic rheumatic diseases or can be associated with them, hence their identification and treatment are important to improve sleep quality and overall quality of life in rheumatic diseases.MethodsWe conducted a search of the PubMed, SCOPUS, and EMBASE databases to identify studies reporting a prevalence of RLS in patients with rheumatic disease. Two authors independently screened, selected, and extracted the data. Heterogeneity was assessed using I2 statistics and random effect method of the meta‐analysis was used to synthesize the results.ResultsOut of 273 unique records, 17 eligible studies including 2406 rheumatic patients were identified. RLS prevalence (95% CI) among patients of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia and ankylosing spondylitis are found to be 26.6% (18.6 34.6); 32.5% (23.1–41.9), 4.4% (2.0–6.8), 38.1% (31.3–45.0) and 30.8% (23.48–39.16) respectively. RLS prevalence was similar for males and females.ConclusionOur study indicates a high prevalence of RLS in patients with rheumatic diseases. Early detection and treatment of RLS in patients with rheumatic conditions could be beneficial in improving their overall health and quality of life.

AbstractBackgroundSystemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune rheumatic disease. Individuals with a diagnosis of SSc describe repercussions on their activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living that affect their everyday functional capacity. The objective of this systematic review was to explore the effectiveness of non‐pharmacological interventions to improve hand function and the ability to perform activities of daily living.MethodsA systematic review was conducted on the Cochrane Library, Medline/PubMed, OTseeker, PEDro, Scopus, Web of Science up to September 10, 2022. Inclusion criteria were defined following PICOS recommendations (Populations, Intervention, Comparison and Outcome measures). Methodological quality was assessed with the Downs and Black Scale and risk of bias was assessed using version 2 of the Cochrane risk‐of‐bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2). A meta‐analysis of each outcome was performed.ResultsA total of 8 studies met the inclusion criteria, providing data on 487 individuals with SSc. The non‐pharmacological intervention applied the most was exercise. The effects of non‐pharmacological interventions were better than those of the waiting list or no treatment control conditions in both outcomes – hand function (mean difference [MD] = −6.98; 95% CI [−11.45, − 2.50], P = 0.002, I2 = 0%) and performance of daily activities (MD = −0.19; 95% CI [−0.33, − 0.04], P = 0.01, I2 = 0%). Moderate risk of bias was found in the majority of the studies included.ConclusionThere is emerging evidence that non‐pharmacological interventions can improve hand function and performance of daily activities in individuals with a diagnosis of SSc. Given the moderate risk of bias found in the studies included, the results should be considered with caution.

AbstractObjectivesAberrantly expressed circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been detected in many types of tumors. Hence, they are currently investigated as candidate biomarkers for diagnostic and potential targets for therapy in cancers. The objective of this study was to assess the expression profile of circRNA in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).MethodsThis study included 14 pairs of postoperative lung adenocarcinoma specimens, including cancer tissues and matched adjacent tissues. Second‐generation sequencing was applied to the specimens to determine the circRNA expression in them among the 5242 distinct circRNAs detected.ResultsWe identified a total of 18 significantly dysregulated circRNAs in the LUAD tissues: upregulation in four and downregulation in 14. ROC (The receiver operating characteristic curve) further suggested that hsa_circ_0120106, has_circ_0007342, has_circ_0005937, and circRNA_0000826 could potentially be used as biomarkers in the diagnosis of LUAD. Furthermore, study of the circRNA–microRNA (miRNA)–messenger RNA (mRNA) revealed interactions between the 18 dysregulated circRNA and several cancer‐related miRNAs. Finally, a further Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that the cell cycle phase transition, p53 signaling pathway, AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) relative signaling pathway, and so on were key putative pathways in the process of LUAD.ConclusionsThese findings demonstrated the correlation between abnormality in circRNA expression and LUAD, which lays the foundation of making CircRNAs candidate biomarkers in the diagnosis of LUAD.

Published: May 2023

ResumoOs girinos são componentes importantes de muitas teias alimentares aquáticas, pois influenciam as populações em outros níveis tróficos e, consequentemente, a transferência de energia entre os ecossistemas aquáticos e terrestres. O que os girinos consomem é um fator chave para suas funções ecológicas. As assembleias de anuros neotropicais incluem muitas espécies com estágio larval, porém as dietas dos girinos neotropicais são relativamente pouco conhecidas. Realizamos uma revisão sistemática da literatura disponível sobre estudos in situ de dietas de girinos neotropicais e descobrimos que a maioria dos estudos são descritivos e temporalmente restritos, não considerando variações sazonais. Frequentemente, os estudos também não consideram possíveis variações ontogenéticas da dieta ou a capacidade dos girinos de selecionar alimentos com base no que está disponível em seus habitats. Contribuímos para este tópico investigando variações sazonais e comparando as dietas de dois estágios de desenvolvimento dos girinos de Scinax curicica. A dieta dos girinos variou entre as estações seca e chuvosa, mas não entre as etapas de desenvolvimento estudadas. Estes resultados, juntamente com estudos publicados, sugerem que múltiplos fatores ecológicos/fisiológicos podem influenciar a alimentação do girino e não devem ser desconsiderados. Estudos sobre a ecologia da alimentação do girino neotropical, capacidade de digestão, efeitos fisiológicos de diferentes dietas e interações entre microbioma e dieta são altamente desejáveis, mas em grande parte inexplorados. Tais estudos poderão acrescentar informações valiosas para compreender o papel dos girinos nas teias alimentares aquáticas, seu crescimento e eficiência no desenvolvimento resultantes da obtenção e assimilação de alimentos e, consequentemente, seus efeitos sobre outras espécies nos ecossistemas aquáticos e terrestres.

Published: May 2023

AbstractGlobalization in Asia and consequent strengthening of healthcare economic factors in tandem with an increasing heart failure (HF) population have enhanced potential for development and progress in the fields of HF medicine and mechanical circulatory support (MCS). In Japan, there are unique opportunities to investigate the outcome of acute and chronic MCS and a national registry for percutaneous and implantable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) including Impella pumps has been established. A Peripheral extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for acute MCS has been used in more than 7000 patients annually and Impella usage in more than 4000 patients over the past 4 years was noted. Recently, a novel centrifugal pump with hydrodynamically levitated impeller was developed and approved for mid‐term extracorporeal circulatory support. In terms of chronic MCS more than 1200 continuous flow LVADs have been implanted during the past decade, and 2‐year survival rate after primary LVAD implantation is 91%. Because of donor organ shortage, more than 70% of heart transplant recipients required LVAD support for more than 3 years and prevention and treatment of complications during long‐term LVAD support have become important. Five important topics including hemocompatibility‐related complications, LVAD infections, aortic valve insufficiency, right ventricular failure and cardiac recovery during LVAD support are discussed in this review for improving clinical outcomes. Findings from Japan will continue to provide useful information regarding MCS for the Asia‐Pacific region and beyond.
Measuring individual social capital in cooperatives in West Shoa, Ethiopia

Published: May 2023

AbstractThe aim of the paper is to extend the knowledge of the measurement of dimensions of social capital in cooperatives. The paper draws on data collected in a survey of 154 members in dairy cooperatives to develop and test composite indicators for measuring dimensions of social capital: structural, relational, and cognitive. Principal component analyses (PCAs) were performed on the data sets of indicators of dimensions of social capital. The Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin measure of sampling adequacy and Bartlett's test of Sphericity supported the appropriateness of performing PCAs. After the extraction of the principal components, intermediate composite indicators were computed for the dimensions of social capital. Finally, the composite indicators were computed as linear weighted aggregations of the intermediate composite indicators. The internal consistency of the composite indicators was verified using Cronbach's alpha. The method provided single, synthetic measures for the dimensions of social capital, which are robust and exhibit construct validity. The paper provided practical knowledge that can be applied to measuring dimensions of social capital in cooperatives.
Navigating team resilience: A video observation of an elite yacht racing crew
Authors: King Elizabeth , Branicki Layla , Norbury Kate , Badham Richard 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIn this paper, we take a process perspective to inductively theorize how shifting sources of adversity and subjective experiences of team relationship quality influence team resilience across time. Building on the literature, we characterize team resilience as a set of team‐level processes—anticipation, coping, and learning—which can support teams to work interdependently to return to, or beyond, pre‐adversity levels of performance. Despite the rising interest, existing research has tended to be theoretical or exploratory in relation to sources of everyday team adversity. To further understand team resilience, we examine how the characteristics of team resilience unfold across time between a crew of sailors during a challenging multi‐day yacht race and competitive demands. Using video observations and interview data, we explore in real‐time how team resilience processes are (i) shaped by dynamism in the sources of external (environmental) adversity and internal team adversity encountered and (ii) influenced by shifts in the subjective experience of team relationship quality across time. We make two contributions: a novel conceptualization of how external (environmental) adversity and internal team adversity affect team resilience processes across time and a theorization of how relationship quality affects team resilience in the context of shifting adversities.

AbstractMethodsThe aetiological composition and clinical characteristics of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) hospitalised in the respiratory department were retrospectively analysed, as well as the correlation between transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and right heart catheterization (RHC) for evaluating pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP).ResultsOf 731 patients, 544 (74.42%) were diagnosed with PH by RHC. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) was the most common type of PH, accounting for 30.10%; PH due to lung disease and/or hypoxia accounted for 20.79%, and PH due to pulmonary artery obstructions accounted for 19.29%. TTE has the highest specificity for diagnosing PH due to pulmonary artery obstructions. The specificity was 0.9375, the sensitivity was 0.7361 and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.836. PASP, and mPAP estimated by TTE were different for various types of PH. In terms of PASP, TTE overestimated PASP in PH due to lung disease and/or hypoxia, but there was no significant difference compared with RHC (P > 0.05). TTE underestimates PAH patients' PASP compared with RHC. In terms of mPAP, TTE underestimated the mPAP of all types of PH, as there was a significant difference in the TTE‐estimated mPAP of patients with PAH compared with RHC but not on other types of PH. Pearson correlation analysis of TTE and RHC showed a moderate overall correlation (rPASP 0.598, P < 0.001; rmPAP 0.588, P < 0.001).ConclusionsAmong the patients with PH in the respiratory department, patients with PAH accounted for the majority. TTE has high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of PH due to pulmonary artery obstructions in the respiratory department.
