Utilitarian and/or hedonic shopping – consumer motivation to purchase in smart stores
Authors: Chang Yu-Wei , Hsu Ping-Yu , Chen Jiahe , Shiau Wen-Lung , Xu Ni 
Published: January 2023

PurposeRecently, smart retail technology has emerged as an innovative technology that can improve consumer motivation and behavior in smart stores. Although prior studies have investigated factors influencing the adoption of smart retail technology, to the authors’ knowledge, no previous work has investigated the determinants of purchase intentions. The ultimate goal for retailers should be shopping, not technology adoption. However, traditional brick-and-mortar stores and theories focus on investing in utilitarian factors to attract customers. This study proposes that hedonic motivation should also play an important role, as new technologies may arouse customer curiosity and increase pleasant experiences. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore utilitarian and hedonic motivations that promote customers' purchase; intentions in smart stores. Specifically, the authors address the research questions: (1) What are the constituents of utilitarian motivation? (2) What are the constituents of hedonic motivation? (3) What are the factors that influence customers' purchase intentions? By answering the questions, the findings help retailers understand how to motivate customers to make purchases in smart stores.Design/methodology/approachTo investigate consumer motivation and purchase intentions, the customers who made purchases in smart stores were invited to participate in the questionnaire survey. This study collected 307 data in smart retail settings. Partial least squares (PLS) software was used to assess the reliability, validity and the paths and significance of all hypotheses.FindingsThe results show that perceived ease of use directly and indirectly influences purchase intentions through utilitarian and hedonic motivations. Utilitarian motivation is a formative second-order construct comprised of merchandise price, merchandise quality, location convenience, speed of shopping and product recommendation. Hedonic motivation is a reflective second-order construct composed of control, curiosity, joy, focused immersion and temporal dissociation. The findings provide insights into the successful implementation of smart retail technology and offer retailers to better understand consumer motivation and purchase intentions in smart stores.Originality/valueThis study is the first to examine how consumer motivation influences purchase intentions in smart stores. This study posits and verifies the extended hedonic system acceptance model (HSAM) to explain consumer motivation for shopping in smart retail settings. This study also models the original first-order utilitarian and hedonic constructs as second-order formative and reflective constructs, respectively. Utilitarian motivation regarding functional benefits is developed based on the 5Ps of marketing and situational factors, while hedonic motivation regarding pleasant experiences is proposed based on cognitive absorption.

Published: January 2023

PurposeUsing a dual-lens of leader–member exchange (LMX) and social exchange theory (SET), this study aims to propose a conceptual model that explores the nexus between inclusive leadership and turnover intention as mediated by follower–leader goal congruence and organizational commitment.Design/methodology/approachData were collected via a survey questionnaire from a sample of 322 front line employees working in different banks in Pakistan. The structural equational modeling (SEM) technique was used for hypotheses testing.FindingsFindings of the study show that inclusive leadership has a positive influence on follower–leader goal congruence which in turn has a positive influence on organizational commitment. Further, organizational commitment has a negative influence on turnover intention. Additionally, the results lend support to the mediating effects of follower–leader goal congruence on the relationship between inclusive leadership and organizational commitment, and the mediating effect of organizational commitment on the relationship between follower–leader goal congruence and turnover intention.Research limitations/implicationsThis research extends the literature on inclusive leadership, follower–leader goal congruence, organizational commitment and turnover intention. This study focuses on the follower–leader centric approach.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study can guide policymakers and management of the banking industry to develop the inclusive leadership qualities of existing managers to reduce the turnover intention of their employees.Originality/valueBy incorporating LMX and SET, this study tests a model that demonstrates the mediating role of follower–leader goal congruence and organizational commitment in the relationship between inclusive leadership and employees’ turnover intention.

Published: January 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is twofold: firstly, to investigate the effect of the infill value and build orientation on the fatigue behaviour of polylactic acid (PLA) specimens made by fused filament fabrication (FFF), also known as fused deposition modelling; and secondly, to model the fatigue behaviour of PLA specimens made by FFF and similar additive manufactured parts.

Design/methodology/approach
A new methodology based on filament characterisation, infill measuring, axial fatigue testing and fatigue strength normalisation is proposed and implemented. Sixty fatigue FFF specimens made of PLA were fabricated and evaluated using variable infill percentage and build orientation. On the other hand, fatigue modelling is based on the normalised stress amplitude and the fatigue life in terms of number of cycles. In addition, a probabilistic model was developed to predict the fatigue strength and life of FFF components.

Findings
The infill percentage and build orientation have a great influence on the fatigue behaviour of FFF components. The larger the infill percentage, the greater the fatigue strength and life. Regarding the build orientation, the specimens in the up-right orientation showed a much smaller fatigue strength and life than the specimens in the flat and on-edge orientations. Regarding the fatigue behaviour modelling, the proposed Weibull model can predict with an acceptable reliability the stress-life performance of PLA-FFF components.

Research limitations/implications
This study has been limited to axial fatigue loading conditions along three different build orientations and only one type of material.

Practical implications
The results of this study are valuable to predict the fatigue behaviour of FFF parts that will work under variable loading conditions. The proposed model can help designers and manufacturer to reduce the need of experimental tests when designing and fabricating FFF components for fatigue conditions.

Originality/value
A fatigue study based on a novel experimental methodology that considers the variation of the FFF process parameters, the measurement of the real infill value and the normalisation of the results to be comparable with other studies is proposed. Furthermore, a new fatigue model able to predict the stress-life fatigue behaviour of PLA-FFF components considering variable process parameters is also proposed.
Agricultural policies and food systems: Priorities for indicator development
Authors: Brooks Jonathan 
Published: January 2023

AbstractExisting indicators of agricultural protection and support were developed primarily to gauge the market and welfare effects of government policies. They have shed light on a wider range of impacts through their use in economic models and empirical analysis. The rising scale of support to agriculture globally, and continued reliance on market distorting policy instruments, make this work as important as ever. Deeper investments are nonetheless needed to address heightened concerns about the spill‐over impacts of agricultural policies on the performance of food systems, in particular with respect to food security and nutrition, rural livelihoods, resource use and the environment, and global emissions. A first area for development is improved measures of policies to correct agriculture's externalities. A priority here is to develop a carbon tax equivalent of sectoral mitigation efforts. A second area is to provide a clearer delineation of government spending on private versus public goods. This would make a valuable contribution to a ‘repurposing’ agenda that seeks to identify how agricultural budgets can be spent more effectively, as well as the scope for transferring resources to wider social priorities, such as public health and climate action.
De‐prosecution and death: A reply to an imprecise and ideological critique
Authors: Hogan Thomas P. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractIn an original article, I analyzed a potential causal link between the policy of de‐prosecution in Philadelphia and an increase in homicides. Utilizing the traditional synthetic control method with extensive descriptive data and a donor pool of the other 99 largest cities in the United States, the results demonstrated a statistically significant increase of over 74 homicides per year in Philadelphia during 2015‐19 associated with de‐prosecution (p<.05). A reaction essay addressing the original article on de‐prosecution has been submitted. In this reply, I correct inaccuracies in the reaction essay, explain the validity of methodological choices, discuss the reaction's misunderstanding of certain quantitative issues, and expose the ideological purposes of the reaction. In addition, I have included updated parallel research addressing the issue of de‐prosecution and examine the theoretical impact of the Covid‐19 pandemic on the interaction between de‐prosecution and homicides.

AbstractSaffron floral bio‐residues (SFB) are a valuable natural source of antioxidants and dyes that can contribute to the development of new food products and cosmetic products. Color change was usually observed during SFB storage, which may result in quality degradation of SFB or even cause potential hazard to human health. In order to clarify the mechanism of color change of SFB sample, the chemical differences among SFB samples stored under different conditions were analyzed using ultra‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry and chemometrics methods, from which differential flavonols and anthocyanins were screened and their kinetic variations during sample storage summarized. In addition, the color change of the SFB sample was digitalized using an electronic eye (E‐eye), which was found to be related to the content of delphinidin‐3,5‐di‐O‐glucoside (DDG). Moreover, the degradation kinetic parameters of DDG under different storage conditions were studied. In conclusion, the variation of kaempferol‐, isorhamnetin‐, and quercetin‐type flavonol, and delphinidin‐ and petunidin‐type anthocyanin resulted in the color change of SFB sample, and anthocyanin was found more unstable than flavonol.Practical ApplicationSaffron floral bio‐residues (SFB) are popular natural sources of antioxidants and colorants that can be used in food and cosmetic products. Color change usually occurs during SFB storage period. Clarifying the mechanism of the color change of SFB will help us to ensure the quality of SFB.
Global positioning with animal‐borne pressure sensors

AbstractOver the past decades, tracking technologies have become more ubiquitous and helped uncover crucial spatiotemporal relationships in nature. In order to apply these technologies to small animals and reduce any potential adverse impact of devices, geopositioning methodologies compatible with lightweight devices are highly sought after. Measured by lightweight geolocators, atmospheric pressure provides an untapped opportunity for global geopositioning, as its natural temporal variation is unique to each location.In this study, we estimate the position of birds by comparing pressure data recorded by the geolocator with reference data from a global weather reanalysis database. The method produces a likelihood map of the position based on (1) a mask of the locations for which the ground‐level elevation matches the pressure measured by the geolocator and (2) a mismatch between the temporal time series measured by the geolocator and the reanalysis dataset. This new method is introduced step by step and applied to 16 tracks of nine long‐ and short‐distance migrant species.Using known positions of double‐tagged individuals (light and pressure data), we demonstrate that our method is almost three times more accurate than light‐based positioning with an average error of 44 km in our trials. In contrast to the traditional light‐based approach, pressure geolocation can provide useful information for short stationary periods (less than a day) and is not affected by the equinox problem nor by any shading effects due to weather or animal behaviour. To facilitate the application of the method, we developed an R packageGeoPressureR, together with a user guideGeopressureManualand starting codeGeoPressureTemplate.The use of pressure sensors to position animals has the potential to become widespread thanks to the combination of both affordable lightweight devices (<0.4 g) and this method to estimate position of the device precisely and accurately. In particular, such devices can now be applied to short‐distant migrants (>100 km), forest‐dwelling species, nocturnal animals and altitudinal migrants.

AbstractCellular senescence leads to the depletion of myogenic progenitors and decreased regenerative capacity. We show that the small molecule 2,6‐disubstituted purine, reversine, can improve some well‐known hallmarks of cellular aging in senescent myoblast cells. Reversine reactivated autophagy and insulin signaling pathway via upregulation of Adenosine Monophosphate‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) and Akt2, restoring insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake in senescent cells. Reversine also restored the loss of connectivity of glycolysis to the TCA cycle, thus restoring dysfunctional mitochondria and the impaired myogenic differentiation potential of senescent myoblasts. Altogether, our data suggest that cellular senescence can be reversed by treatment with a single small molecule without employing genetic reprogramming technologies.
SPACs: An overview and assessment of returns
Authors: Barth James R. , Gu Min , Liu Jiachen 
Published: January 2023

AbstractSpecial purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) originated in the 1980s. A SPAC is a shell company formed by a sponsor to raise capital through a SPAC IPO to acquire or merge with an existing (target) private company. In a SPAC IPO, the units issued, consisting of (1) shares of common stock and (2) warrants, are typically priced at a nominal $10. Until 2022, SPAC IPOs were an increasingly popular alternative to traditional IPOs. We provide an overview of SPACs and an assessment of two measures of returns to SPACs, one is market‐adjusted buy and holds abnormal returns, and the other is risk‐adjusted abnormal returns by estimating a three‐factor regression model. The return calculations are based on 299 SPAC completed mergers between January 2013 and December 2021. Our results indicate that the main driver in a series of regressions, including various explanatory variables in explaining deSPAC returns, is the extent of warrants issued in a SPAC IPO, and robustness checks confirm these results.

Published: January 2023

AbstractObjectivesUncertainty regarding the legitimacy of functional neurological disorder (FND) remains among some health care professionals. Despite treatment guidelines and consensus recommendations, variability in clinical practice referral decisions persists. Evidence from other conditions suggests such clinical decision making is impacted by practitioners' implicit and explicit attitudes. We aimed to identify whether health care professionals hold implicit and/or explicit attitudes about the legitimacy of FND and whether these attitudes are associated with referral decision making.Design/MethodsWe included 66 health care professionals who work with people with neurological conditions: n = 37 medical doctors, mainly neurologists (n = 18) and psychiatrists (n = 10), and n = 29 doctoral level practitioner psychologists. Participants completed an Implicit Association Test (IAT), Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP), a referral decision‐making vignette task and self‐report measures of explicit attitudes on FND‐legitimacy, therapeutic optimism and clinician confidence. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) was used as a comparator condition.ResultsParticipants self‐reported strong explicit FND‐legitimate and MS‐legitimate attitudes but demonstrated an implicit FND‐illegitimate/MS‐legitimate bias. Deeper examination provided by the IRAP data indicated pro‐FND‐legitimate attitudes, but no bias for or against FND‐illegitimate—contrasting the pro‐MS‐legitimate, anti‐MS‐illegitimate attitudes for the comparator condition. Attitudes about FND‐illegitimacy were negatively associated with likelihood of referral to physical interventions such as physiotherapy. Medical doctors had lower treatment optimism and stronger explicit attitudes that FND is illegitimate than psychologists.ConclusionsAt an implicit level, clinicians are uncertain about the illegitimacy of FND, and such attitudes are associated with lower likelihood of referral to physiotherapy in particular. Improved education on FND among health care professionals is indicated.

AbstractAimPatients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may undergo several abdominal surgeries with a risk of incisional hernia repair (IHR). The objectives of this study were to establish the risk of IHR and to analyse predictors of IHR after a first‐time abdominal surgery for IBD.MethodThis Danish nationwide register‐based cohort study (1996–2018) followed IBD patients from index operation until the date of IHR. The absolute risk was calculated as the cumulative incidence proportion treating death as a competing risk. Cox proportional hazard regression was used to compare the risk of IHR among different subtypes of IBD and to explore predictors of IHR. IBD subtypes were classified as ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD) or unclassified IBD (IBD‐U).ResultsIn total, 10 130 patients with IBD (UC 3911 [39%]; CD 4210 [41%]; IBD‐U 2009 [20%]) underwent either an open or a laparoscopic index operation. The 10‐year cumulative incidence of IHR varied between 5.0% and 6.3%, with a significantly higher risk in patients with UC and IBD‐U. Patients with UC (75.9%) and IBD‐U (91.9%) had more (two or more) abdominal surgeries in the follow‐up period compared with CD (51.9%). The risk of IHR increased dramatically with the number of surgeries, although not as markedly if a laparoscopic approach was used. Male sex, age, comorbidity, fascial dehiscence, wound infection and presence of stoma were predictors of IHR for patients with IBD.ConclusionThe long‐term risk of IHR was roughly 5%–6%, with a higher risk in patients with UC and IBD‐U. Open surgical approach and number of previous surgeries were, among other things, important predictors of IHR.
Evolutionary features of ligands and their receptors via protein–protein interactions and essentiality in primates

Published: January 2023

AbstractProtein evolution rate is negatively correlated with several effectors, such as expression level, expression distribution, protein–protein interactions (PPIs), and essentiality for survival. These effectors can characterize the signaling pathways mediated by ligand‐receptor binding. However, it is unclear whether these effectors are constraining factors on the pathway‐specific evolution of ligands and receptors. To clarify the relation between the effectors and protein evolution (dN/dS ratio) in ligands and their receptors considering each signaling pathway, we investigated 377 proteins in 20 peptide/protein ligand groups and their receptor groups using 15 primate sequences. The dN/dS ratios between peptide/protein ligand groups and their receptor groups were positively correlated, suggesting the protein evolution under the influence of signaling pathway to which they belong. Comparing each signaling pathway, ligands and receptors mainly related to development and growth (FGF/Hedgehog/Notch/WNT groups) showed lower dN/dS ratios, higher PPI numbers, and higher essentiality, whereas those mainly related to immune process (CSF/IFN/IL/TNF groups) showed higher dN/dS ratios, lower PPI numbers, and lower essentiality. Most ligands and receptors were poorly expressed, and expression level was not a constraining factor on the protein evolution. These findings indicate that PPI and essentiality are constraining factors that characterize the pathway‐specific evolution of ligands and receptors.
