Impact of knowledge management capabilities on organisational performance in construction firms: the mediating role of innovation
Authors: Idrees Hisham , Haider Syed Arslan , Xu Jin , Tehseen Shehnaz , Jan Naveed 
Published: February 2023

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the mediating effect of innovation on the relationship between KM (KM) capabilities and organisational performance in the context of construction firms operating in Pakistan. Worldwide innovation predicts the performance of any firm. Today, the construction industry in Pakistan is booming, which reinforces the need for a study on innovation and KM in this sector.

Design/methodology/approach
This empirical study uses a correlational research design. An online survey questionnaire was used as a data collection method. Through convenient sampling, the sample comprised 277 employees from different construction firms working under the Defence Housing Authority (a construction company operating in major cities) in Pakistan. Data were analysed through partial least squares-structural equation modelling (Smart PLS-SEM version 3) to assess the hypothesis.

Findings
Data analysis reveals that KM dimensions, knowledge acquisition, application and protection positively and significantly influence organisational performance; however, knowledge conversion is insignificant. Furthermore, innovation positively and substantially mediates the relationship between knowledge acquisition, application, protection, organisational performance and the insignificant terms of knowledge conversion.

Research limitations/implications
This study is limited to the construction industry, and future research should be conducted on larger scales for better generalisation. Other mediators between KM and organisational performance (i.e. organisational complexity, workplace environment, employee knowledge-sharing attitude) should be investigated.

Practical implications
These results are crucial and encourage managers in the construction industry, especially from a developing country like Pakistan, to understand the importance of innovation, the application of KM and the essential role it has in boosting business performance.

Originality/value
This research contributes to the scholarly debate on the mediating role of innovation in the relationship between KM and organisational performance. It also expands the literature on KM through an empirical investigation on the innovation of the construction industry in Pakistan from a management perspective.

Authors: Joshipura Mayank , Joshipura Nehal , Sharma Aditya 
Published: February 2023

Purpose
The disposition effect remains one of the most significant investor behavior puzzles. This study aims to consolidate the knowledge, explore current dynamics, elicit trends and offer future research directions to demystify the disposition effect.

Design/methodology/approach
This study applies the hybrid review method. It first used bibliometric analysis (212 documents), followed by content analysis (54 articles) to analyze the breadth and depth of literature on the disposition effect.

Findings
This study presents performance analysis and science mapping. It identifies five main research streams: evidence, implications and mitigation techniques; theoretical explanations; investor biases and hedonic framing; attributes, beliefs and preferences; and implications for asset pricing and market efficiency. This study further offers future research directions for disposition effect research.

Research limitations/implications
This study deploys sequential bibliometric and content analysis. A meta-analysis of quantitative articles could provide specific insights regarding the disposition effect. Besides, this study is based on Scopus-indexed journals only.

Practical implications
This study benefits investors and portfolio managers as they learn effective ways to guard against the disposition effect. Policymakers may tweak tax laws to incentivize long-term holding, and regulators can run investor education campaigns to minimize the disposition effect’s consequences effectively.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is probably the first hybrid review of high-quality, contemporary articles on the disposition effect that offers science mapping, research streams, future research directions and a succinct summary of theories, contexts, characteristics and methods deployed in the field of research.
Natural disasters and economic policy challenges
Authors: Freebairn John 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThe frequency of and magnitudes of natural disasters associated with exogenous variation of climate vary between areas. Household, business and government decisions on location and investment influence the private and society costs of natural disasters. Government economic policy towards natural disasters face a challenging trade‐off between short term equity and long term efficiency objectives. Additional financial grants and subsidies for those adversely affected by a natural disaster event for equity reasons also reduce longer term private sector incentives and rewards to locate to less natural disaster‐prone areas and to invest in mitigation strategies.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine the impact of state Medicaid expansion on the delivery of population health activities in cross‐sector health and social services networks. Community networks are multisector, interorganizational networks that provide services ranging from the direct provision of individual social services to the implementation of population‐level initiatives addressing community outcomes.Data SourcesWe used data measuring the composition of cross‐sector population health networks 2006–2018 National Longitudinal Survey of Public Health Systems (NALSYS) linked with the Area Health Resource File.Study DesignA difference‐in‐differences approach was used to examine the impact of expansion on organization engagement in population health activities and network structure.Data Collection/Extraction MethodsStratified random sampling of local public health jurisdictions in the United States. We restricted our data to jurisdictions serving populations of 100,000 or more and states that had NALSYS observations across all time periods, resulting in a final sample size of 667.Principal FindingsResults from our adjusted difference‐in‐differences estimates indicated that Medicaid expansion was associated with a 2.3 percentage point increase in the density of population health networks (p < 0.10). Communities in states that expanded Medicaid experienced significant increases in the participation of local public health, local government, hospital, nonprofit, insurer, and K‐12 schools. Of the organizations with significant increases in expansion communities, nonprofits (7.7 percentage points, p < 0.01), local public health agencies (6.5 percentage points, p < 0.01), hospitals (5.8 percentage points, p < 0.01), and local government agencies (6.0 percentage points, p < 0.05) had the largest gains.ConclusionsOur study found increases in cross‐sector participation in population health networks in states that expanded Medicaid compared with nonexpansion states, suggesting that additional coverage gains are associated with positive changes in population health network structure.

AbstractObjectiveTo assess Muslim physician experiences with religious discrimination and identify strategies for better accommodating Muslim identity in health care.Data Sources and Study SettingInterviews were conducted with Muslim physicians from three US‐based Muslim clinician organizations between June and August 2021.Study DesignIn‐depth, semi‐structured qualitative interviews used a phenomenological approach to describe experiences of religious discrimination and accommodation. A team‐based framework approach to coding was used to inductively generate themes from interview data.Data Collection/Extraction MethodsPhysicians from the Islamic Medical Association of North America, American Muslim Health Professionals, and the US Muslim Physicians group were invited to participate using closed organizational listservs. Inclusion criteria sought English‐speaking, self‐identifying Muslims with current or past affiliation with a university hospital in the United States. Potential participants were segmented into groups based on responses to questions about perceived religious discrimination and accommodation. Purposive sampling was used to iteratively approach participants within these groups in order to capture a diverse respondent pool. Interviews stopped after thematic saturation was reached.Principal FindingsEighteen physicians (11 women and 7 men; mean age: 41.5 [standard deviation = 12.91] years) were interviewed. Nearly all (n = 16) held Islam to be important in their lives. Three overarching themes, with several subthemes, emerged. Participants (1) struggled to maintain religious practices and observances due to unaccommodating organizational structures; (2) experienced religious discrimination, which, in turn, impacted their professional trajectories and, at times, their personal well‐being; and (3) believed that institutions could implement specific educational and policy interventions to advance the religious accommodation of Muslims in health care.ConclusionsMuslim physicians frequently encounter religious discrimination, yet there are concrete ways in which health care workplaces can better accommodate their religious needs and combat discrimination. To improve workforce diversity, equity, and inclusion, educational forums and policies that support the religious practices of physicians need to be established.

AbstractHusks are the main source of bran and furfural flavor in traditional Chinese light‐aroma Baijiu, but they negatively affect its smell and taste. Here, bran husks were replaced with fresh bamboo to brew light‐aroma Baijiu. Flavor components in Jiupei and Baijiu were detected through headspace solid‐phase microextraction with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, and physicochemical properties were assessed; flavor results were obtained from correlation, principal component, and cluster analyses. Starch and reducing sugar content in Jiupei negatively correlated with moisture, alcohol content, and acidity. Fresh bamboo reduced furfural from bran husks in Jiupei by 88.5% and increased alcohol distillation by 51%; it also improved starch efficiency (5%). Surprisingly, isovanillin was found to be present in Baijiu. Total Baijiu yield (57% ± 2.01%) was attained when crushed bamboo size was 1.5 cm × 0.3 cm × 0.3 cm. This study supports the use of fresh bamboo (an eco‐friendly alternative for husks) in brewing light‐aroma Baijiu.Practical ApplicationThe use of fresh bamboo as a replacement for rice husks in brewing light‐aroma Baijiu was investigated. It attenuated the chaff taste in light‐aroma Baijiu and increased the liquor yield. Surprisingly, isovanillin was also present in the base Baijiu, and it added to the fragrance. This study not only supports the use of bamboo as an auxiliary material for brewing light‐aroma Baijiu but also provides a reference for brewing light‐aroma Baijiu with alternative auxiliary materials.
A CEO's expertise power and bank diversification
Authors: Ali Maisam , Gan Christopher , Nadeem Muhammad 
Published: February 2023

AbstractWe examine the effect of a chief executive officer (CEO)'s expertise power on bank diversification. Using US bank data from 1990 to 2020, we find that a CEO's expertise power is positively associated with bank diversification. Market competition and board composition (size and independence) positively affect this relationship. We also find that CEO delta and vega are the underlying mechanisms through which expertise power leads to greater diversification. We address endogeneity concerns using the two‐stage least squares, Heckman estimation and the difference‐in‐differences approaches and check result robustness in several ways. We provide a new explanation for bank diversification that is useful for policymakers in developing a bank strategy concerning CEO behaviour in diversification.

Published: February 2023

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesRates of cannabis use disorder (CUD) are higher in people with schizophrenia than in the general population. Irrespective of psychiatric diagnosis, tobacco co‐use is prevalent in those with CUD and leads to poor cannabis cessation outcomes. The cannabis withdrawal syndrome is well‐established and increases cannabis relapse risk. We investigated whether cannabis withdrawal severity differed as a function of high versus no/low tobacco dependence and psychiatric diagnosis in individuals with CUD.MethodMen with CUD (N = 55) were parsed into four groups according to schizophrenia diagnosis and tobacco dependence severity using the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND): men with schizophrenia with high tobacco dependence (SCT+, n = 13; FTND ≥ 5) and no/low tobacco dependence (SCT−, n = 22; FTND ≤ 4), and nonpsychiatric controls with high (CCT+, n = 7; FTND ≥ 5) and no/low (CCT−, n = 13; FTND ≤ 4) tobacco dependence. Participants completed the Marijuana Withdrawal Checklist following 12‐h of cannabis abstinence.ResultsThere was a significant main effect of tobacco dependence on cannabis withdrawal severity (p < .001). Individuals with high tobacco dependence had significantly greater cannabis withdrawal severity (M = 13.85 [6.8]) compared to individuals with no/low tobacco dependence (M = 6.49, [4.9]). Psychiatric diagnosis and the interaction effects were not significant. Lastly, cannabis withdrawal severity positively correlated with FTND (r = .41, p = .002).Conclusion and Scientific SignificanceAmong individuals with CUD and high tobacco dependence, cannabis withdrawal severity was elevated twofold, irrespective of diagnosis, relative to individuals with CUD and no/low tobacco dependence. Findings from this study emphasize the importance of addressing tobacco co‐use when treating CUD.

Published: February 2023

AbstractNon‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is considered the most common type of lung cancer (>80% of all lung cancers); patients are often diagnosed at advanced stages of the disease. The management of NSCLC is considered challenging owing to variations in size, an extension of the tumors, involvement patterns, and classification. Although adequate literature and guidelines are available on the management of NSCLC in several countries, an Indian perspective on stage III NSCLC management is lacking. We used the modified Delphi approach to form consensus statements. A thorough literature search was done. The authors then convened and deliberated over published literature, available guidelines, and clinical judgment. Recommendation statements were formed for different clinical scenarios. These statements were sent as a form of survey to other oncologists, and their responses were recorded and mentioned. Evidence‐based statements were formed for diagnosing and managing stage III NSCLC. These recommendation statements cover various aspects—surgical, radiation, and medical treatment in various clinical scenarios including adjuvant, neoadjuvant, and consolidation therapies.

AbstractBackgroundNitric oxide is a chemical agent produced by endothelial cells in a healthy blood vessel, inhibiting the overgrowth of vascular smooth muscle cells and regulating vessel tone. Liposomes are biocompatible and biodegradable drug carriers with a similar structure to cell bilayer phospholipid membrane that can be used as useful nitric oxide carriers in vascular grafts.MethodUsing a custom‐designed apparatus, the sheep carotid arteries were decellularized while still maintaining important components of the vascular extracellular matrix (ECM), allowing them to be used as small‐diameter vascular grafts. A chemical signal of sodium nitrite was applied to control smooth muscle cells' behavior under static and dynamic cell culture conditions. The thin film hydration approach was used to create nano‐liposomes, which were then used as sodium nitrite carriers to control the drug release rate and enhance the amount of drug loaded into the liposomes.ResultsThe ratio of 80:20:2 for DPPC: Cholesterol: PEG was determined as the optimum formulation of the liposome structure with high drug encapsulation efficiency (98%) and optimum drug release rate (the drug release rate was 40%, 65%, and 83% after 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively). MTT assay results showed an improvement in endothelial cell proliferation in the presence of nano‐liposomal sodium nitrite (LNS) at the concentration of 0.5 μg/mL. Using a suitable concentration of liposomal sodium nitrite (0.5 μg/mL) put onto the constructed scaffold resulted in the controllable development of smooth muscle cells in the experiment. The culture of smooth muscle cells in a pulsatile perfusion bioreactor indicated that in the presence of synthesized liposomal sodium nitrite, the overgrowth of smooth muscle cells was inhibited in dynamic cell culture conditions. The mechanical properties of ECM graft were measured, and a multi‐scale model with an accuracy of 83% was proposed to predict mechanical properties successfully.ConclusionThe liposomal drug‐loaded small‐diameter vascular graft can prevent the overgrowth of SMCs and the formation of intimal hyperplasia in the graft. Aside from that, the effect of LNS on endothelial has the potential to stimulate endothelial cell proliferation and re‐endothelialization.

AbstractAimTo evaluate the predictive value of perinatal factors and neurodevelopmental evaluation in the emotional and behavioural outcomes in preterm‐born children at 7–9 years of age.MethodsWe evaluated the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) extended score at 8.2 ± 0.2 years, among 70 preterm‐born children (32 early and 38 moderately preterms) with a previous Bayley‐III neurodevelopmental evaluation.ResultsEarly compared to moderately preterms had a higher total SDQ (12 compared to 8, p = 0.031), and emotional symptoms score (4 compared to 3, p = 0.022); no significant differences were recorded in abnormal/borderline‐scored children between the two groups. The total SDQ and emotional symptoms scores were significantly correlated with gestational age, birth weight, perinatal factors and the cognitive and motor Bayley‐III scores. Early prematurity was associated with the total SDQ score (beta 2.09, 95% CI 1.32, 3.87), and the score of emotional symptoms (beta 1.70, 95% CI 1.38, 2.19), after adjusting for sex, neonatal sepsis and the existence of an older sibling.ConclusionPrematurity, birth weight, perinatal factors and the cognitive and motor Bayley‐III scores were significantly associated with the total SDQ and the emotional symptoms score, in preterm‐born children.
When should I run—the role of exercise timing in metabolic health
Authors: Kirchner Henriette , Weisner Leon , Wilms Britta 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThe prevalence of type 2 diabetes is reaching epidemic proportions. First line therapy approaches are lifestyle interventions including exercise. Although a vast amount of studies reports on beneficial effects of exercise on metabolism in humans per se, overall data are contradictory which makes it difficult to optimize interventions. Innovative exercise strategies and its underlying mechanism are needed to elucidate in order to close this therapeutic gap. The skeletal muscle produces and secretes myokines and microRNAs in response to exercise and both are discussed as mechanisms linking exercise and metabolic adaptation. Aspects of chronophysiology such as diurnal variation in insulin sensitivity or exercise as a signal to reset dysregulated peripheral clocks are of growing interest in the context of impaired metabolism. Deep insight of how exercise timing determines metabolic adaptations is required to optimize exercise interventions. This review aims to summarize the current state of research on the interaction between timing of exercise and metabolism in humans, providing insights into proposed mechanistic concepts focusing on myokines and microRNAs. First evidence points to an impact of timing of exercise on health outcome, although data are inconclusive. Underlying mechanisms remain elusive. It is currently unknown if the timed release of mykokines depends on time of day when exercise is performed. microRNAs have been found as an important mediator of processes associated with exercise adaptation. Further research is needed to evaluate their full relevance. In conclusion, it seems to be too early to provide concrete recommendations on timing of exercise to maximize beneficial effects.

AbstractEssential thrombocythemia is a chronic myeloproliferative syndrome which usually runs its course as an asymptomatic elevated platelet count. Cutaneous manifestations secondary to microcirculation abnormalities are rare but can represent a helpful diagnostic clue in order to prevent major thromboembolic events. We report two cases of heterogeneous livedoid and “net‐like” skin lesions in the context of essential thrombocythemia with identical histopathologic findings (medium‐sized blood vessels with luminal obliteration by eosinophilic material, mostly positive for the platelet marker CD61, without vasculitis). In conclusion, we seek to raise awareness of the clinicopathological features of essential thrombocythemia to allow for prompt diagnosis and treatment.
