Authors: Radun Jenni , Lindberg Mikko , Lahti Aleksi , Veermans Marjaana , Alakoivu Reijo , Hongisto Valtteri 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
This study aims to examine activity-related sound levels and pupils’ perceptions of the acoustic environment in two classrooms, one of which was a traditional classroom (Reference classroom, reverberation time (RT) 0.54 s) and the other a refurbished classroom (Demo classroom, RT 0.32 s).

Design/methodology/approach
Three types of data were gathered: room acoustic measurements, activity sound levels during different activities and pupils’ subjective experience concerning factors related to acoustics. Pupils, 10–11 years old (N = 34), estimated their subjective experience in general and after four test lessons. Teachers planned the test lessons to have four different lesson types: quiet work, one-person speaking, group work and activity-based work. The sound levels of activities were measured during the test lessons.

Findings
The activity sound levels were 2–13 dB LAeq lower in the Demo classroom than in the Reference classroom, depending on lesson type. Pupils were less annoyed by noise in the Demo than in the Reference classroom. Pupils’ speech was the most annoying sound source. More pupils were annoyed by it in the Reference classroom (65%) than in the Demo classroom (15%). Hearing the teacher while not seeing her face, concentrating on teaching and sitting in one’s place were estimated easier in the Demo classroom than in the Reference classroom.

Originality/value
This study offers a new approach using test lessons for studying activity sounds in schools. Activity sounds and their annoyance can be significantly diminished by classroom refurbishments.
Using social marketing strategies to develop and pretest PrEP education materials for transgender women
Authors: Bass Sarah Bauerle , Kelly Patrick J.A. , Brajuha Jesse , Gutierrez-Mock Luis , D'Avanzo Paul , Herrera Samantha , Sevelius Jae 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to develop pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) education materials that directly address the needs of trans women. PrEP medication is an effective HIV prevention strategy, but some groups at high risk of HIV, such as transgender (trans) women, have suboptimal uptake and adherence. Most PrEP marketing has been aimed fat men who have sex with men (MSM) and include trans women as part of that audience, but this strategy ignores important differences in perceptions of and barriers to PrEP.

Design/methodology/approach
This study used a social marketing approach grounded in exchange theory to systematically develop and pretest PrEP messaging and communication materials for trans women through qualitative (focus groups: n = 5, 34 participants) and quantitative (surveys: n = 128) methods in Philadelphia and the San Francisco Bay area. Segmentation analysis, perceptual mapping and vector message modeling techniques were used to create three-dimensional visualizations of PrEP perceptions to identify highly targeted messaging. Working with trans artists, the authors developed prototype materials using the targeted messaging and pretested these (n = 11) in both locations for feedback on content, look and insight on appropriate intervention strategies.

Findings
Using segmentation and perceptual mapping, this study identified key PrEP messaging across different subgroups, including by demographic and psychographic variables. Differences by group were determined to not be significant and overall messages that would resonate with all groups were built into the materials. Pretesting sessions indicated high acceptability of the messaging and trans women-centered approach to increase PrEP uptake.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to use a social marketing framework to create targeted PrEP communication materials for trans women in partnership with trans women.
Risk response decisions for projects in project portfolios considering objective adjustments and project interdependencies
Authors: Zhang Xu , Goh Mark , Bai Sijun , Wang Zonghan 
Published: March 2023

PurposeRisk response decisions (RRDs) are vital for project risk mitigation. Although past research has focused on RRDs for independent single projects, it has scarcely explored how to make RRDs for single projects in project portfolios (SPPPs). Consequently, this study aims to bridge the gap in extant literature by developing an integrated approach to select risk response strategies (RRSs) for SPPPs considering objective adjustments and project interdependencies (PIs).Design/methodology/approachAn integrated quality function deployment (QFD) method was used throughout this study. More so, a balanced score card (BSC) and stratified-Z-numbers-full consistency method (SZFUCOM) was applied to identify SPPP success criteria (SP3SC) to determine their weights. In addition, a spherical fuzzy set-design structure matrix (SFDSM) was used to quantify the correlation between the risks and the relationship between the risks and the predecessor projects. Consequently, the relationships between the risks and SP3SC and RRSs were described by the spherical fuzzy set (SFS) and Z-numbers, respectively. Besides, the results are weaved into QFD to transform SP3SC into risks and then into RRSs, while a linear optimization model is used to obtain the optimal RRSs. Lastly, a construction project portfolio (PP) was used to test the veracity of the results to prove their validity.FindingsThe approach to RRDs for single projects is observed to be different from that of SPPPs. In addition, this study finds that project portfolio objective adjustments (PPOAs) and PIs have significant impacts on RRDs given that they influence the risk priorities of independent single projects and SPPPs. Moreover, the application of an integrated QFD effectively synthesized the results from the findings of this study, as well as enabled companies to determine robust RRSs. Finally, the consistency results of the SZFUCOM were better than those of the triangular fuzzy number-full consistency method.Originality/valueThe study innovatively explores the method of RRDs for SPPP, which has been ignored by past research. SP3SC highly compatible with PP success is determined. Z-numbers are first used to evaluate the effect of RRSs to enhance the robustness of RRDs. The study proposes a method of RRDs comprehensively considering PPOAs and PIs, which provides robust methodological guidance for SPPP managers to control risks.

Authors: Panda Subhajit , Kaur Navkiran 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of using ChatGPT-based chatbot systems as an alternative to traditional knowledge base-based chatbot systems in library and information centers (LICs).

Design/methodology/approach
The study used a qualitative research approach to examine the viability of ChatGPT-based chatbot systems in LICs. The researchers conducted an extensive literature review and analyzed data collected from interviews with experts in the field of library and information science.

Findings
The findings of the study reveal that ChatGPT-based chatbot systems are a viable alternative to traditional knowledge base-based chatbot systems in LICs. ChatGPT has the potential to provide more accurate and personalized responses to user queries, improve the user experience and reduce the workload of library staff. However, there are some limitations to the use of ChatGPT in LICs, such as the need for substantial training data and the risk of perpetuating biases.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the first to explore the potential of ChatGPT-based chatbot systems in the context of LICs. The research provides insights into the advantages and limitations of ChatGPT-based chatbots and highlights the possibilities for future use of this technology in the information service industry.
Leader green behavior as an outcome of followers' critical thinking and active engagement: the moderating role of pro-environmental behavior
Authors: Javaid Mudaser , Kumari Kalpina , Khan Sajjad Nawaz , Jaaron Ayham A.M. , Shaikh Zainuddin 
Published: March 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the role of followership dimensions of active engagement (AE) and independent critical thinking (ICT) in leader green behavior (LGB), and how followers' pro-environmental behavior (FPEB) moderates between the proposed relationship.Design/methodology/approachThe data was collected from 381 employees working in different small and medium enterprises (SMEs) of Pakistan, through a structured questionnaire with five points Likert scale. The proposed hypotheses were tested by using Smart-partial least square (PLS).V.3.FindingsResults showed a significant positive impact of followership dimensions on LGB. Moreover, the findings of the study substantiated the moderating role of FPEB between the direct relationship of ICT and LGB, but no significant moderation of FPEB in case of the relationship between AE and LGB was observed.Practical implicationsThis paper argues that organizational effective green leadership can be enhanced by followership dimensions of AE and ICT, and by participation of followers in pro-environmental behavior. This has been largely overlooked in the past studies.Originality/valueThe study attempted to empirically test the “Reversing the Lens” perspective by Shamir (2007) in the context of green human resource management (HRM). This study extends a distinct theoretical contribution to the social exchange theory (SET) by focusing on the fact that follower's role is equally as important as that of a leader in the effective leadership process.
Green consumption behaviour among Generation Z college students in China: the moderating role of government support
Authors: Ling Pick-Soon , Chin Chee-Hua , Yi Jia , Wong Winnie Poh Ming 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
Green consumption behaviour (GCB) has been advocated to mitigate the environmental consequences of traditional consumption patterns. Besides the current circumstances, Generation Z college students are a sizable consumer group who are likely to be concerned about the future. Thus, this study aims to examine the factors affecting the college students’ GCB and the moderating effect of government support to provide new evidence from college students in China.

Design/methodology/approach
In addition to environmental knowledge and social media influence as the variables, government support was used as a moderator to develop the extended theory of planned behaviour (TPB) model. Purposive sampling was used to obtain 328 valid responses from Chinese college students. The collected data were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling.

Findings
The findings indicated that subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, environmental knowledge and social media influence substantially affect students’ GCB. Notably, the moderation analysis suggested that government support greatly strengthens the relationship between subjective norms and social media influence on the GCB of Chinese college students.

Practical implications
The study provides several significant practical implications as the findings could be referred by stakeholders, such as government and businesses entities, in formulating policies and strategies to encourage the consumers’ GCB in mitigating ecological consequences.

Originality/value
The extended TPB model that integrated environmental knowledge and social media influence with the government support as the moderator contributes to the extant literature with the evidence derived from Generation Z in China.
Is the relationship between bank stability, competition, and intervention quality nonlinear? Evidence from North African countries
Authors: Ghazouani Ines , Basty Nadia 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis paper highlights the existence of a nonlinear relationship between bank stability and competition and analyzes the role that government intervention plays in shaping this relationship. We used a sample of 45 banks in North African countries over the period 2005–2019. We applied a semiparametric approach based on penalized spline estimation. The results unveil the specific shape of the competition–stability relationship at different levels of competition; banks reconsider their risk‐taking behavior at each level of competition. This nonmonotonic stability at different levels of competition is attributed to the quality of intervention, which is found to be an important determinant in shaping this relationship. Thus, we explain the dispersion of risk levels among North African banks in part by the quality of regulation in each country and conclude by recommending the strengthening of regulation, supervision and the macro‐prudential framework.
Wiley Lecture 2022. Communicating climate change with comics: Life beyond apocalyptic imaginaries
Authors: Sou Gemma 
Published: March 2023

AbstractDrawing on my experience with creative research translation, in this work I discuss how comics provide several possibilities to communicate climate change using geographical analysis and anti‐essentialist representations. Comics can be deployed as a multi‐modal method that encourages researchers to use thick description to communicate embodied, intangible, and hidden experiences of life with climate change that are difficult to capture in other ways. Comics are also a powerful way for authors to visualise how life with climate change is multi‐temporal and to capture diverse images of still‐possible and alternative climate futures that move beyond apocalyptic imaginaries to inform debates about the geographies of hope as they relate to climate change. Finally, comics can enhance the participatory nature of research and facilitate a move to more ‘desire‐based’ research frameworks that emphasise character‐driven and anti‐essentialist narratives. The work reported here should be of broad interest among geographers engaging in geohumanities and climate change researchers experimenting with creative methods to narrativise and communicate human experiences of climate change. My intentions are to move beyond disciplinary boundaries; speak to scholars working in the interdisciplinary fields of climate change, comics studies, climate change communication, and visual studies; and invite more engagement with this mode of creative research translation.
MiFID II and the unbundling of analyst research from trading execution
Authors: Lourie Ben , Shanthikumar Devin , Yoo Il Sun 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) requires the unbundling of research payments from trading execution, fundamentally changing the way in which investors typically pay for analyst research in Europe. We examine the effectiveness of the regulation in changing the link between analyst research and trading, the research‐trading link, and the analyst response to this potential change in incentives. Using a difference‐in‐differences research design, we find that forecast frequency, optimism, and accuracy are less associated with the brokerage trading share after MiFID II, suggesting that MiFID II weakened the link between the brokerage share of trading and analyst research. Following MiFID II, analysts in Europe are less likely than analysts in the United States to continue high forecast frequency, optimism, and accuracy for stocks with high share importance for the analyst's brokerage house. We find similar results throughout for buy/sell recommendations. Overall, our evidence suggests that MiFID II is at least partially successful in unbundling research from execution, and impacts both the trading effects and the production of analyst research.

AbstractAimHyperphosphatemia is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in both the general population and patients with end‐stage renal disease. We evaluated whether high inorganic phosphate (Pi) intake causes atrial remodeling and increased atrial fibrillation (AF) risk.MethodsThe 5/6 nephrectomized chronic kidney disease (CKD) mice were fed a high‐Pi (2%) diet for 10 weeks. AF vulnerability was evaluated through transesophageal burst atrial pacing. Phosphoproteomic, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry were used to evaluate the effects of high Pi in atrial fibroblasts, atrial myocytes, and HL‐1 myocytes.ResultsCKD and sham mice fed a high‐Pi diet exhibited increased AF vulnerability, atrial fibrosis, and oxidative stress compared with mice fed a normal diet. Compared with normal (1 mM) Pi, high (2 mM) Pi significantly increased the activity of atrial fibroblasts and mitochondrial oxidative stress. Phosphoproteomic analysis revealed that compared with normal Pi, high Pi considerably increased the phosphorylation of intracellular proteins in atrial fibroblasts, including proteins related to NF‐κB signaling and STAT3. Inhibition of NF‐κB, STAT3, and Nox4 by small interfering RNA reduced the high‐Pi‐induced expression of collagen. In HL‐1 myocytes, the high Pi induced the degradation of myofibril proteins and hyperphosphorylation of RyR2, which was abolished by Nox4 and CaMKII inhibition. Switching back to a normal‐Pi diet improved the atrial abnormalities induced by high‐Pi diet.ConclusionsHigh‐Pi intake causes atrial structural and electrical remodeling and increases AF vulnerability, which is mediated through STAT3/NF‐κB signaling and oxidative stress. High dietary Pi intake can exert detrimental effects on atria and may increase AF risk.

Published: March 2023

AbstractDeprescribing is an essential component of safe prescribing, especially for people with higher levels of polypharmacy. Identifying individuals prepared to consider medicine changes may facilitate deprescribing‐orientated reviews. We aimed to explore the relationship between revised patients' attitudes towards deprescribing (rPATD) scores and medication changes in older people prescribed ≥15 medicines. A secondary analysis of rPATD scores and prescription data from a cluster randomised controlled trial of a GP‐delivered, deprescribing‐orientated medication review was conducted. The association between number of medicines stopped, started and changed and baseline rPATD scores was assessed using Poisson regression, adjusting for patient age, gender, study group allocation, baseline number of medicines and effects of clustering. Participants (n = 404) had a mean age of 76.4 years and were prescribed a mean of 17.1 medicines at baseline. Willingness to stop a medicine was associated with higher rates of both deprescribing (IRR: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.06–1.84) and initiating medicines (IRR: 1.43; 95% CI: 1.09–1.88). Satisfaction with current medicines was associated with a lower rate of deprescribing (IRR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.57–0.85). The rPATD questionnaire could be used as part of a deprescribing intervention to identify participants who may be prepared to engage in deprescribing, enabling more efficient use of clinician time during complex consultations.
Targeting formyl peptide receptor 1 with anteiso‐C13‐surfactin for neutrophil‐dominant acute respiratory distress syndrome

Published: March 2023

Background and PurposeAcute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a catastrophic pulmonary inflammatory dysfunction with a high mortality rate. An overwhelming immune response by neutrophils is a key feature in infective or sterile ARDS. The formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) is a crucial damage‐sensing receptor for inflammatory reactions in the initiation and progression of neutrophil‐mediated ARDS. However, effective targets for controlling dysregulated neutrophilic inflammatory injuries in ARDS are limited.Experimental ApproachHuman neutrophils were used to explore the anti‐inflammatory effects of cyclic lipopeptide anteiso‐C13‐surfactin (IA‐1) from marine Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. The lipopolysaccharide‐induced model of ARDS in mice was used to determine the therapeutic potential of IA‐1 in ARDS. Lung tissues were harvested for histology analyses.Key ResultsThe lipopeptide IA‐1 inhibited immune responses of neutrophils, including respiratory burst, degranulation, and expression of adhesion molecules. IA‐1 inhibited the binding of N‐formyl peptides to FPR1 in human neutrophils and in hFPR1‐transfected HEK293 cells. We identified IA‐1 as a competitive FPR1 antagonist, thus diminishing the downstream signalling pathways involving calcium, mitogen‐activated protein kinases and Akt. Furthermore, IA‐1 ameliorated the inflammatory damage to lung tissue, by decreasing neutrophil infiltration, reducing elastase release and oxidative stress in endotoxemic mice.Conclusion and ImplicationsThe lipopeptide IA‐1 could serve as a therapeutic option for ARDS by inhibiting FPR1‐mediated neutrophilic injury.
