When firms adopt sustainable human resource management: A fuzzy‐set analysis
Authors: Jia Junyun , Yuan Shuo , Wei Li‐Qun , Tang Guiyao 
Published: February 2023

AbstractSustainable human resource management (HRM) is critical to sustainable corporate development. However, there is little systematic research examining the determinants of sustainable HRM adoption. We fill this void by identifying and introducing a configurational approach to examine when firms adopt sustainable HRM. Based on institutional theory, we develop a typology of institutional contexts associated with sustainable HRM adoption. We posit that institutional conditions in configuration facilitate firms' adoption of sustainable HRM. Thus, we hypothesize a primary institutional configuration where institutional support, institutional quality, and institutional infrastructure combine to promote the adoption of sustainable HRM. We further propose alternative types of configurations conducive to the adoption of sustainable HRM by introducing two organizational conditions: strategic leadership support and resource slack. A fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis on data from 57 cases in China supports our hypotheses. We find that the combination of institutional conditions promotes the adoption of highly sustainable HRM, and the two alternative types provide functional substitutes for the primary type: (a) strategic leadership support substitutes for the combination of institutional support and institutional infrastructure, and (b) resource slack substitutes for institutional infrastructure. We build an institutional configurational model to advance a holistic understanding of the theoretical drivers of sustainable HRM, contributing to the research on sustainable HRM, institutional theory, leadership, and resource slack.

AbstractIntroductionPhone use during face‐to‐face interactions (i.e., digital social multitasking [DSMT]) is a growing activity among adolescents. DSMT appears to be a risk factor for problematic phone use, but little is known about why adolescents engage in DSMT and how different motives of DSMT would be associated with problematic phone use. Drawing on the framework of DSMT and the uses and gratifications theory, this study explored (1) the motives of adolescent DSMT and (2) the direct and indirect relationships between DSMT motives and problematic phone use via the level and perception of DSMT.MethodThe study involved survey data from 517 adolescents in the United States recruited through the Qualtrics panels (Mage = 14.83, SD = 1.93) in the fall of 2020. The sample's gender and racial/ethnic distributions were nationally representative.ResultsWe developed a scale measuring adolescent DSMT motives, which showed that adolescents engaged in DSMT because of enjoyment and connection, boredom, information, and habitual use. The motive of habitual use was associated with problematic phone use both directly and indirectly via level of DSMT and perceived distraction caused by DSMT. The information motive was directly associated with problematic phone use, while the boredom motive was indirectly associated with problematic phone use via perceived distraction. Conversely, the motive of enjoyment and connection was related to lower problematic phone use both directly and indirectly via lower perceived distraction.ConclusionThe study identifies DSMT‐related risk and protective factors for problematic phone use. The findings should help adults recognize adaptive versus maladaptive forms of DSMT among adolescents and develop proper guidance and intervention.

Published: February 2023

AbstractStimuli–responsive biomaterials may be used to better control the release of bioactive molecules or cells for applications involving drug delivery and controlled cell release. In this study, we developed a Factor Xa (FXa)‐responsive biomaterial capable of controlled release of pharmaceutical agents and cells from in vitro culture. FXa‐cleavable substrates were formed as hydrogels that degraded in response to FXa enzyme over several hours. Hydrogels were shown to release both heparin and a model protein in response to FXa. Additionally, RGD‐functionalized FXa‐degradable hydrogels were used to culture mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), enabling FXa‐mediated cell dissociation from hydrogels in a manner that preserved multicellular structures. Harvesting MSCs using FXa‐mediated dissociation did not influence their differentiation capacity or indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase (IDO) activity (a measure of immunomodulatory capacity). In all, this FXa‐degradable hydrogel is a novel responsive biomaterial system that may be used for on‐demand drug delivery, as well as for improving processes for in vitro culture of therapeutic cells.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACTVertebral fractures (VFs) have been associated with future fractures, yet few studies have evaluated whether this pertains to VFs available for identification on routine radiological imaging. We sought to evaluate the risk of subsequent fractures in subjects with VF identified opportunistically on computed tomography (CT) scans performed as part of routine clinical practice. From the radiology database of Holbæk Hospital we identified the first CT scan including the thorax and/or abdomen of 2000 consecutive men and women aged 50 years or older, performed from January 1, 2010 onward. The scans were assessed in a blinded approach to identify chest and lumbar VF, and these data linked to national Danish registers. Subjects were excluded if treated with an osteoporosis medication (OM) in the year prior to baseline (date of CT), and the remaining subjects with VF matched on age and sex in 1:2 ratio against subjects with no VF. We found that the risk of major osteoporotic fractures (hip, non‐cervical vertebral, humerus, and distal forearm fractures) was higher for subjects with VF than without VF: incidence rates (IRs) were 32.88 and 19.59 fractures per 1000 subject‐years, respectively, and the adjusted hazard ratio (HRadj) was 1.72 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03–2.86). Subsequent hip fracture IRs were 16.75 and 6.60; HRadj 3.02 (95% CI, 1.39–6.55). There were no significant differences in other fracture outcomes (including a pooled estimate of any subsequent fracture, except face, skull, and fingers: IRs 41.52 and 31.38; HRadj 1.31 [95% CI, 0.85–2.03]). Our findings suggest that subjects undergoing routine CT scans including the chest and/or abdomen are a high risk population in terms of fracture risk. Even within this group, subjects with VF are at higher risk of future major osteoporotic fracture (MOF), in particular hip fracture. Hence, systematic opportunistic screening for VF and subsequent fracture risk management is important to reduce the risk of new fractures. © 2023 The Authors.

AbstractBackgroundHypothesizing that soccer‐associated public health campaigns influence men more than women, we investigated the characteristics and motivations of participants who received rubella antibody testing at a Japanese professional football league event.MethodsThis was a survey‐based cross sectional study, comparing the characteristics and motivations between men and women regarding rubella antibody testing.ResultsFree and convenient testing was the biggest behavioral influencer, but the information provided by healthcare professionals and athletes also played a strong motivating role. Men reported more influence from celebrity athletes than women.ConclusionsPublic health attention raised by celebrity athletes may facilitate rubella awareness among male spectators.
Modeling disruption of Apis mellifera (honey bee) odorant‐binding protein function with high‐affinity binders
Authors: Mayack Berin Karaman 
Published: February 2023

AbstractChemical toxins pose a great threat to honey bee health because they affect memory and cognition, diminish immunity, and increase susceptibility to infection, resulting in decreased colony performance, reproduction, and survival. Although the behavioral effects of sub‐lethal chemical exposure on honey bees have been intensively studied, how xenobiotics affect olfaction, at the molecular level, still needs to be elucidated. In the present work, in silico tools, such as molecular docking, binding free energy calculations, and molecular dynamics simulations are used to predict if environmental chemicals have stronger binding affinities to honey bee antennal odorant‐binding protein 14 (OBP14) than the representative floral odors citralva, eugenol, and the fluorescent probe 1‐N‐phenylnaphthylamine. Based on structural analysis, 21 chemicals from crop pesticides, household appliances, cosmetics, food, public health‐related products, and other sources, many of which are pervasive in the hive environment, have higher binding affinities than the floral odors. These results suggest that chemical exposures are likely to interfere with the honey bee's sense of smell and this disruptive mechanism may be responsible for the lower associative learning and memory based on olfaction found in bees exposed to pesticides. Moreover, bees mainly rely on olfactory cues to perceive their environment and orient themselves as well as to discriminate and identify their food, predators, nestmates, and diseased individuals that need to be removed with hygienic behavior. In summary, sub‐lethal exposure to environmental toxins can contribute to colony collapse in several ways from the disruption of proper olfaction functioning.

Published: February 2023

AbstractGenome‐wide association study (GWAS) could identify host genetic factors associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). The genes or functional DNA elements through which genetic factors affect COVID‐19 remain uncharted. The expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) provides a path to assess the correlation between genetic variations and gene expression. Here, we firstly annotated GWAS data to describe genetic effects, obtaining genome‐wide mapped genes. Subsequently, the genetic mechanisms and characteristics of COVID‐19 were investigated by an integrated strategy that included three GWAS‐eQTL analysis approaches. It was found that 20 genes were significantly associated with immunity and neurological disorders, including prior and novel genes such as OAS3 and LRRC37A2. The findings were then replicated in single‐cell datasets to explore the cell‐specific expression of causal genes. Furthermore, associations between COVID‐19 and neurological disorders were assessed as a causal relationship. Finally, the effects of causal protein‐coding genes of COVID‐19 were discussed using cell experiments. The results revealed some novel COVID‐19‐related genes to emphasize disease characteristics, offering a broader insight into the genetic architecture underlying the pathophysiology of COVID‐19.

Published: February 2023

AbstractAlthough regional journals publish high‐quality research in diverse languages, research published in non‐English‐speaking countries (NESC) tends to have lower international visibility. By outlining the characteristics of SCOPUS journals published in NESC, this study aimed to inform regional scholarly communities interested in internationalizing their journals. A list of 294 SCOPUS journals in the Library and Information Science (LIS) field was extracted from the SCOPUS database; 39.12% of SCOPUS LIS journals (115 journals) were published in NESC. After excluding journals published in English‐speaking countries as well as journals published by international commercial publishers, this study analysed the characteristics of 62 journals. Forty‐eight (77.42%) of the 62 analysed journals were open access (OA) journals, and 37 (77.08%) of which were diamond OA journals. Although journals from NESC had relatively lower impact, journals that primarily used English (journal homepage, specified manuscript language) had higher impact than non‐English journals. This article discusses the importance of supporting OA (including diamond) journals to ensure international access of NESC journals, the limitations of this study, including relying on the SCOPUS LIS journals and quantitative analysis, and an agenda for future research regarding the internationalization of regional journals.
MISQ's DEI initiatives: A continuing journey
Authors: Burton‐Jones Andrew , Sarker Saonee 
Published: February 2023

Key points
MIS Quarterly's (MISQ's) mission is to help develop, publish, and promote the finest scholarship within the IS academic community, and to do so without discrimination and bias.
To address the above, MISQ's Editor‐in‐Chief and DEI Director published a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) position statement with an accompanying MISQ Editorial in 2021.
MISQ decided to direct its DEI efforts equally towards ‘scholars’ (e.g., authors, reviewers) and the ‘scholarship’ (e.g., topics we study and approaches we take).
Formation of a DEI workgroup was an early effort aimed at ensuring that the DEI‐related practices are developed and implemented through a collective voice.
A year‐long mentoring programme including paper and career development sessions was designed to help scholars who had been inequitably affected by the pandemic.
Initiatives such as flexible accommodation for board members and mentorship track for authors from disadvantaged groups/regions are being designed.
Tensions and challenges in the decolonisation of academic publishing: A cross‐tabulation analysis of articles in Island Studies Journal
Authors: Grydehøj Adam , Su Ping , Huang Shoujuan , Nadarajah Yaso 
Published: February 2023

AbstractCalls to decolonise academia are increasing, yet progress has been halting, including in academic publishing. This paper considers publishing practices and outcomes in Island Studies Journal (a diamond open access, multidisciplinary, high‐ranked journal), which has taken an explicitly decolonial editorial direction in recent years. We undertake a cross‐tabulation analysis of the 175 articles published in Island Studies Journal between January 2017 and October 2022, attending to characteristics of authors, articles, regions, branches of science, and impact. We find that coloniality and the West/non‐West divide remain prevalent in the journal, with differences in the kinds of research scholars from different regions can get published and the kinds of impact their articles make. Western scholarly norms are reproduced and enforced even in a journal that seeks to support antiracism and decolonization. We discuss the editorial tensions involved in seeking to simultaneously increase opportunities for individual intersectionally marginalized scholars while challenging colonial power structures.
Performance evaluation of brake pads developed using two different manufacturing methods
Authors: Saindane U. V. , Soni S. , Menghani J. V. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThe aim is to study the effect of several distinct manufacturing processes, parameters and ingredients on the physical, mechanical and frictional characteristics of brake pad developed using hand lay method (sample 1), brake pad developed using hot compression method (sample 2) and commercial brake pad (sample 3). The non asbestos brake pad samples were compared with the selected commercial brake pad sample using pin on disc test set up. Results showed that friction performances of all three samples were insensitive to water and oil absorption test. Sample 2 had better mechanical properties and greater wear resistance than other two samples which are attributed to use of hot press method of manufacturing the composite and selecting the carbon‐based ingredients. Sample 1 maintained high coefficient of friction even though manufactured with the help of hand lay method. Both fabricated brake pads are stable upto the temperature 220 °C without any weight loss and degradation. Brake pad surfaces showed different shape wear debris and plateaus significantly affecting the friction characteristics. Finally, the test results indicated that both fabricated brake pad samples have potential braking characteristics to be used as a brake pad material.

Published: February 2023

AbstractSecond particles play a crucial role in influencing the performance of magnesium alloys. A previous work showed that during the fracture initiation process a competitive relationship exists between micron MgZn2particles and submicron Mg4Zn7particles of ZK60 magnesium alloy. Especially, some of the MgZn2particles were found to be gathered in pairs, which resulted in the interaction effect. In this work, three‐dimensional MgZn2particles were characterized in terms of size, morphology, and distribution using computed tomography technology. Based on the visualization and quantification results of MgZn2particles, the typical structural models were established. The relationship between stress concentration and shape ratio induced by a single particle was investigated using finite element computations. Furthermore, empirical equations were proposed to quantify the interaction effect induced by two adjacent particles. The validity of the equations was verified by models based on real particle. Comparing the stress concentration between micron MgZn2particles and submicron Mg4Zn7particles, the fracture initiation was confirmed to be caused by Mg4Zn7particles considering the interaction effect of micron particles. The obtained quantitative information would be useful for understanding the crack initiation of engineering materials.

AbstractIn this study, aluminium‐silicon7‐magnesium alloy was reinforced with carbide ceramics (silicon carbide and boron carbide) and coke microparticles. The composite samples (S1, S2, and S3) with 4 %, 8 %, and 12 % by weight of silicon carbide and boron carbide microparticles and 8 % by weight of coke micro particles respectively, were prepared through the ultrasonic assisted melt‐stir casting route. It was observed from the literature that only a few research works reported the cumulative effect of adding these micro‐particulate reinforcements within aluminium‐silicon7‐magnesium alloy. The microstructural evaluation revealed uniform dispersion of particulate reinforcements. Area energy dispersive x‐ray spectroscopy scan results proved the presence of the reinforcement particles as heterogeneous phases at distinct zones. The samples undergone tensile tests failed under the brittle fracture mode. The ultimate tensile strength of the composites improved by about 27.4 %, the % elongation improved by about 6.8 %, and Vickers microhardness dropped 1.9 % to the maximum. Dimples were observed in the fracture morphology analysis and it was mainly due to the mixed ductility of the sample S2. An abrasive wear mechanism was observed in the worn‐out sample S2. The wear rate decreased significantly with an increase in weight fraction of the reinforcements.
Robust design in material machining on basis of probability multi‐objective optimization

Published: February 2023

AbstractThis paper regulates a rational approach of robust design in material machining process on basis of the probability method for multi‐objective optimization. As an expansion, it takes the arithmetic mean value of the performance index of the alternative and its deviation as twin independent responses to make contributions of two parts of the partial favorable probability individually; the arithmetic mean value of the performance index represents the performance index according to its function and preference in the assessment, and the deviation exhibits an index with the characteristic of the smaller the better in general. Furthermore, the product of the above twin parts of partial favorable probability forms the actual favorable probability of the performance index of each alternative in the treatment, which is the unique indicator of the performance index of the alternative in the robust optimum. Moreover, examples are given to illustrate the application of the approach.
Spatially tunable and self‐healing plasmonic Talbot imaging by using periodic metal nanopore arrays

Published: February 2023

AbstractPlasmonic Talbot imaging exhibits unique advantages over conventional Talbot imaging owing to the potential possibility of the miniaturization and integration of optoelectronic devices. However, the fixed structure parameters limit imaging manipulation, and the defects of masks also affect imaging integrity. Here, we propose a plasmonic Talbot imaging scheme based on the periodic metal nanopore arrays to achieve spatially tunable and self‐healing performance evaluated by the FDTD method. The results reveal that the transverse field distribution at the Talbot planes can be offset in the 500 nm range with the incident light angle changed from 0° to 25°, exhibiting a tunability of the spatial position. Meanwhile, the randomly missing and misaligned defects of such periodic metal nanopore arrays can be effectively restored by the presence of low density or defects located at the center. The feasibility of spatial tunability and self‐healing may provide an opportunity for optical imaging, nanolithography, and phase manipulation.
