Technostress in entrepreneurship: focus on entrepreneurs in the developing world
Authors: Simba Amon , Tajeddin Mahdi , Jones Paul , Rambe Patient 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThis study analyzes technostress in African entrepreneurship. It advances contextualized theoretical explanations of technostress depicting its impact on entrepreneurs who excessively consume digital technology in Africa. The study also describes how research linking transactional benefits to digital technology has created an imbalanced literature that ignores technostress and well-being in African entrepreneurship.Design/methodology/approachConsidering the study’s theoretical explanations derived at the technostress–entrepreneurship–well-being nexus, structural equation modeling (SEM) was deemed appropriate. Unlike qualitative–based methods, SEM experiments on 643 observations of early–stage African entrepreneurs in South Africa enabled robust statistical interpretations of their social settings. Thus, strengthening our analysis and focus on the interplay between the variables of technostress, including overload, invasion, complexity and uncertainty, and their impact on entrepreneurship intentions defined through perceived behavior control, entrepreneurship passion and digital self-efficacy.FindingsSEM experiments on these African entrepreneurs revealed technostress dimensions of overload, invasion, complexity and uncertainty as moderators of their entrepreneurial actions encompassing perceived behaviour control and entrepreneurship passion in connection with their entrepreneurial intentions. The results also suggested that perceived behaviour control, entrepreneurship passion, and the digital self-efficacy of these entrepreneurs influenced their entrepreneurial intentions.Research limitations/implicationsBesides inspiring more studies on technostress and well-being in varied entrepreneurial contexts, this research also initiates debate on policy and social reforms geared toward entrepreneurs considered vulnerable to excessive digital technology consumption.Originality/valueThe novelty of this study lies in its theoretical explanations derived at the technostress–entrepreneurship–well-being nexus. This conceptual overlay elevates the interpretations of the findings of this study beyond the averages in entrepreneurship and information technology (IT) research. Specifically, it increases their inferential value by revealing subtle and hard to dictate social interactions inherent in how African entrepreneurs consume and are impacted by technology as they pursue their entrepreneurial endeavors.
Unabsorbed slack, capability reconfiguration and green innovation behavior: the moderating role of consumer green pressure
Authors: Yang Jianjun , Gu Lei , Liu Kangxin , Deng Cheng 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
Implementing green innovation is crucial for firms to build or sustain competitive advantages within the context of the sustainable development goals. Academic research has broadly explored how firms can induce green innovation behavior (GIB), examining external factors, but few studies in the current literature have deeply investigated unabsorbed slack as an internal antecedent of GIB. Drawing upon the behavioral theory of the firm and integrating it with dynamic capabilities theory, this study aims to address this deficiency by investigating the impact of unabsorbed slack on GIB and the mediating roles of two dimensions of capability reconfiguration: capability evolution and capability substitution in the relationship between unabsorbed slack and GIB. Furthermore, this study also discusses the moderating effects of consumer green pressure on the relationship between unabsorbed slack and capability evolution/substitution.

Design/methodology/approach
Survey data were collected from 286 Chinese technology-intensive manufacturing firms to empirically test the relationships among the variables.

Findings
The results reveal that unabsorbed slack has a positive influence on GIB. Furthermore, capability evolution and substitution both play mediating roles in the relationship between unabsorbed slack and GIB. Comparative analysis showed that the mediating effect of capability substitution is stronger than that of capability evolution. Moreover, consumer green pressure strengthens the positive relationship between unabsorbed slack and capability evolution/substitution.

Originality/value
This study enriches the research on the driving forces of GIB and contributes to providing managerial implications for firms to launch green innovation activities.
Categorizing world regional art prices by artistic movement: an analysis of Latin American art
Authors: Garay Urbi , Pulga Fredy 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThe literature on the potential benefits of art investing has yet to consider the effects of categorizing world regional art markets (e.g. Latin American art) by artistic styles or movements (e.g. Latin American surrealism, Latin American conceptual art, etc.). We propose that such categorization should be carried out and analyze the Latin American art market as an example.Design/methodology/approachEleven artistic style price indices within the Latin American art market (30,288 artworks created by 293 artists and sold at auction between 1970 and 2014) are estimated using hedonic regressions: Abstract-geometric, abstract-informal, conceptual, costumbrismo, cubism, figurative, muralism, landscape, surrealism, nineteenth century and avant-garde. We find that several variables that rely on the corresponding Latin American art movement index have a significant relationship with painting prices.FindingsThere is significant variation in the financial performance of the various price indices for Latin American art styles: the conceptual (10.33% annual real return), abstract geometric (1.97%), cubism (0.97%) and costumbrismo (0.91%) movements overperformed a market that exhibited an aggregate negative cumulated real return of 0.9% during the sample period. The average correlation between each of the styles was only 0.12. The estimated price index for paintings sold at Christie's and Sotheby's clearly outperformed the index estimated for the other auction houses, and we also found that paintings created by Latin American women artists yielded higher returns.Practical implicationsOur results have practical applications for investors, collectors, auction houses and policymakers.Originality/valueThis is the first paper to highlight the need to decompose art price indices by artistic movements at the regional level.

Authors: Le Phong Ba , Thai Phong Le , Vu Khoa Dinh 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of transformational leadership (TL) on frugal innovation (FI) of hotel and restaurant firms through the mediating role of knowledge sharing (KS) and moderating role of information technology utilization (ITU).Design/methodology/approachThe paper used a quantitative research method and structural equation modeling to test the relationship among the latent factors based on a sample of 315 participants from 113 hotel and restaurant firms.FindingsFindings show the significant impacts of TL on FI directly or indirectly via the mediating role of tacit and explicit KS behaviors. It highlights the important role of ITU in fostering influence of KS behaviors on FI.Practical implicationsThe paper provides managers and directors in the Vietnamese restaurant and hotel industry with valuable insights into the development of leadership programs focusing on TL practices to improve the knowledge resource and FI capabilities of firms.Originality/valueThis study contributes to bridging research gaps in the literature and advances the insights of the key antecedents and appropriate conditions to pursue FI of hotel and restaurant firms.
Robots vs humans: an examination of emotional and cognitive responses in upselling and cross-selling
Authors: Chan Janelle 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
Besides the mainstream discussion around customer expectation, this study aims to review would customer surprise be influential in up- and cross-selling. Although hotel customers are becoming more used to robotic services, due to a negative impression of the robot’s lack of warmth, other customers still prefer the human-to-human services. Thus, what happens when up- and cross-selling are delivered by a robot versus human salesperson?

Design/methodology/approach
This study designs three experiments to investigate how guests would be surprised by a human or robot salesperson when checking in following a scenario of up- and cross-selling. This paper has three studies and data were collected through an online survey with the United States residents (n = 270).

Findings
This study validates that when up- and cross-selling are conducted separately, a human salesperson performs a better job in terms of achieving higher customer surprise, satisfaction, perceived value and reuse intention. When promoting both up- and cross-selling together, a robot salesperson has a more competitive performance in all examined measures.

Research limitations/implications
This study contributes elucidations on a theoretical conception of Appraisal Tendency Framework and extends the idiomatic impression that humans are more favorable than robots when an intensive personal interaction is involved.

Practical implications
This study inspires hospitality practitioners an optimal strategy in adopting human or robot employees for up- and cross-selling. Suggestions for marketing management and service operation with analytical methods are elucidated.

Originality/value
This study not just fills all indicated knowledge voids but proffers theoretical and practical insights.

Published: January 2025

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to develop a set of policies to solve the decarbonization issues of container terminal clusters.Design/methodology/approachThis research used the system dynamics approach to develop an integrated multi-issue policy model.FindingsWe found that the mandatory use of low-sulfur fuel can decrease GRDP and container throughput and hinder the growth of companies and workers due to high fuel prices. However, it can contribute to a significant reduction in SOx emissions.Research limitations/implicationsThis research used the Tanjung Priok container terminal cluster in Jakarta, Indonesia, as its case study. Hence, some findings are attached to the characters of this container terminal cluster.Practical implicationsWe found that an integrated policy approach that can tackle technical and social issues can be used to develop a novel approach to solving the complexity that arises in a complex socio-technical system such as container terminal clusters.Social implicationsAs this research used the socio-technical systemic point of view, we found that solutions for major environmental issues should be coupled with significant social programs to (at least) maintain the welfare of society.Originality/valueThis research used the integrated complexity model approach, system dynamics, which can significantly increase society’s ability to tackle multi-issue problems such as decarbonizing container terminal clusters.

Abstract

Arthropods play key roles in ecosystems as pollinators or as food resources for many birds. The decline in arthropods in farmland due to agricultural intensification is related to negative population trends in farmland birds. Semi‐natural areas such as fallow land are valuable habitats for arthropod communities in farmland, but the potential of these areas to boost biodiversity greatly depends on their management.

We used a field experiment to explore the mechanisms behind the effects of mechanical management on arthropod communities in high conservation value fallow land. We used GLMMs to explore changes in arthropod abundance after treatment application, and pSEM to discriminate direct effects of treatments from indirect effects mediated by changes in vegetation structure.

Tillage had stronger negative effects than vegetation shredding on total arthropod, spider and bee abundance, which were mediated by a reduction in vegetation height, green cover and flowering. Coleoptera biomass did not vary between treatments.

The differences between treatments disappeared from 2 to 3 months after treatment application for total arthropod and spider biomass, but not for Orthoptera and bees.

Synthesis and applications. Low‐intensity mechanical management of fallows has short‐term negative effects on arthropod abundance. For conservation purposes, fallow management should combine untreated fallow fields (or strips within fields) to boost arthropod communities, with low‐intensity management to create suitable breeding habitats for steppe birds.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTDeep‐sea sediments contain a large number of Thaumarchaeota that are phylogenetically distinct from their pelagic counterparts. However, their ecology and evolutionary adaptations are not well understood. Metagenomic analyses were conducted on samples from various depths of a 750‐cm sediment core collected from the Mariana Trench Challenger Deep. The abundance of Thaumarchaeota and archaeal amoA generally decreased with depth, except for an unexpected peak midway through the core. The thaumarchaeotal metagenome‐assembled genomes were classified into diverse phylogenetic clusters associated with amoA‐NP‐γ, amoA‐NP‐θ, and amoA‐NP‐δ of ammonia‐oxidising Thaumarchaeota and non‐ammonia‐oxidising lineages. The most abundant group was within amoA‐NP‐γ, which is usually found in coastal and shallow habitats, indicating potential niche expansion from marine shallow to hadal environments. This benthic group showed within‐species genomic variations compared to the previously identified Hadal water group, suggesting microdiversification of hadal Thaumarchaeota along with niche separation between benthic and pelagic environments. Evolutionary adaptations associated with the benthic‐to‐pelagic transition included reduced genome size, loss of motility/cell adhesion, altered energy metabolism, and different mechanisms for substrate acquisition and regulation (e.g., ammonium). These findings offer new insights into the evolution of hadal Thaumarchaeota and demonstrate, for the first time, intraspecies‐level genomic variation in Thaumarchaeota related to the benthic‐versus‐pelagic niche partitioning in the deep ocean.
Unexpected recombination at the polled locus in a horned Holstein calf from the mating of a homozygous polled sire and a heterozygous polled cow
Authors: Brenig Bertram 
Published: January 2025

AbstractIn this study, I report an unexpected case of a Holstein calf that developed horns even though the sire was homozygous and the dam was heterozygous for polledness. After verifying and confirming the correct parentage, the parents and offspring were genotyped with the Illumina EuroG_MD BeadChip and the SNPs in the polled region on chromosome 1 were evaluated. In addition, the father was sequenced with next generation sequencing to identify possible, previously unknown variants. The deletion of two base pairs within the causative 80‐kb duplication described for the Friesian polled variant was verified by melting curve analysis and the 80‐kb duplication by droplet digital PCR. Analysis of all data showed that, as expected, the calf was heterozygous for all SNP positions flanking the 80‐kb duplication but was homozygous wild type in the 80‐kb duplication region and therefore carried horns. This is certainly a very rare case of a recombination within the highly conserved polled region, which on the one hand confirms that only the 80‐kb duplication is responsible for the expression of the Friesian polled variant, but on the other hand also shows that caution is required when interpreting the usual routine genotyping of the horn status based on linked single nucleotide polymorphisms in the polled region on chromosome 1. Based on the present case, it is recommended that, in addition to the evaluation of the SNP data of the BeadChip, an extended diagnosis with direct detection of the 2‐bp deletion (1:g.2629156_2629158delGT) should be carried out in any case when detecting the Friesian polled variant.
Anaesthesia for paediatric radiotherapy: A narrative review
Authors: Oswald Lauren , Al‐Kadhimi Sam , Thorp Nicola 
Published: January 2025

SummaryIntroductionRadiotherapy is currently used in approximately one‐third of children with cancer. Treatments are typically received as weekday outpatient appointments over 3–6 weeks. The treatment is painless but requires a still, co‐operative patient who can lie alone in set positions, facilitated by the use of immobilisation devices, for up to 1 h.MethodsWe conducted a literature search to identify relevant articles relating to radiotherapy treatment. Key search terms included: ‘radiotherapy’; ‘proton beam’; ‘photon’; ‘sedation’; ‘anaesthesia’; and ‘paediatric’. The abstracts of identified articles were assessed for relevance and their references reviewed for further relevant publications.ResultsThe requirement for anaesthesia is almost exclusively limited to younger children, who are committed to daily anaesthetics over the duration of their treatment course. Centres tend to adopt a primary anaesthetic technique of either general anaesthesia using a supraglottic airway device or deep sedation, with spontaneous ventilation maintained. A full variety of anaesthetic drugs has been used with insufficient evidence to support a standardised primary approach but an apparent global trend towards propofol by infusion for sedation. Children may become acutely unwell during their treatment course and systems for escalation of clinical care in this event are vital. Distance from the patient for staff radiation shielding, patient positioning for treatment delivery and the use of immobilisation devices may provide additional access challenges in the event of an emergency.DiscussionThe requirement for anaesthesia for paediatric radiotherapy is typically confined to younger children. Patients may be unwell, with several specific considerations related to their cancer diagnosis and the impact of various treatments including surgery and chemotherapy, in addition to the radiotherapy. A multidisciplinary team approach to all aspects of care is imperative in this group of high‐risk patients.
The increasing global burden of cancer: implications for anaesthesia and peri‐operative medicine
Authors: Guerra‐Londono Carlos E. , Uribe‐Marquez Santiago , Shah Rupen , Gottumukkala Vijaya 
Published: January 2025

SummaryIntroductionMost patients with cancer will require surgery at some point in their lifetime. As the global burden of cancer continues to increase, changes and challenges in cancer epidemiology and care are also borne peri‐operatively.MethodsDue to its broad scope, a formal systematic electronic literature search was not performed. This narrative review examines how an increasing global burden of cancer affects anaesthesia and peri‐operative medicine. We aimed to describe current cancer statistics; economic implications; the increasing survival of individuals with cancer; and the role of anaesthetists in enhancing the quality of life and survival after oncological surgery.ResultsEpidemiological reports show wide variation in cancer incidence and mortality worldwide. Countries with a lower human development index will be disproportionately affected by greater increases in cancer burden. At the same time, these countries will also suffer larger deficits in the surgical and anaesthetic workforce. Cancer has significant macro‐ and micro‐economic implications. Thus, public health and policy should address the large economic burden of cancer surgery and care. The improvement in cancer‐related survival can be attributed to research focused on a deeper understanding of tumour biology; effective awareness education campaigns and screening programmes; early diagnosis; newer cancer therapies; and patient‐centred precision care. Increasing survival brings new global challenges, such as delivering an adequate survivorship care plan and addressing long‐term psychosocial concerns in survivors. Anaesthetists are involved in all phases of a patient's cancer journey including facilitating diagnostic procedures; providing comprehensive peri‐operative care needs for ablative procedures; provision of critical care; addressing acute and chronic pain; and provision of integrative and palliative care services.DiscussionDeeper engagement of anaesthetists in cancer care programmes will be instrumental in reducing postoperative complications; improving the quality of life for patients; enhancing population health; and contributing to improved global economies.

ABSTRACTObjectiveOur aim was to research the neuromelanin‐sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (NM‐MRI) features of the locus coeruleus (LC) in essential tremor (ET) patients of various cognitive states and to explore the relationships between these features and cognition.MethodsWe recruited three groups of participants, including 30 ET patients with mild cognitive impairment (ET‐MCI), 57 ET patients with normal cognition (ET‐NC), and 105 healthy controls (HCs). All participants underwent MRI scanning and clinical evaluation. Through NM‐MRI images, we compared the contrast‐to‐noise ratio of LC (CNRLC) between groups and evaluated the relationships between CNRLC and cognitive scales.ResultsCompared to HCs, ET‐MCI patients had a substantially lower CNRLC value (p = 0.017). The CNRLC of ET‐NC patients was intermediate between that of ET‐MCI patients and HCs. Furthermore, a partial correlation analysis in ET‐MCI patients, controlling for age, gender, and education level, showed that higher CNRLC values correlate with better performance on the Montreal cognitive assessment test and the trail making test A.ConclusionLC degeneration in ET patients may partially contribute to cognitive decline, suggesting that the LC norepinephrine system deserves further research on the mechanism of cognitive decline of ET patients as well as the development of targeted drugs.
