Supply chain risk and resilience in startups, SMEs, and large enterprises: a systematic review and directions for research
Authors: Safari Arsalan , Balicevac Al Ismail Vanesa , Parast Mahour , Gölgeci Ismail , Pokharel Shaligram 
Published: June 2023

PurposeThis systematic literature review analyzes the academic literature to understand SC risk and resilience across different organizational sizes and industries. The academic literature has well discussed the causes of supply chain (SC) risk events, the impact of SC disruptions, and associated plans for SC resilience. However, the literature remains fragmented on the role of two fundamental elements in achieving SC resilience: the firm's size and the firm's industry as firms' contingent factors. Therefore, it is important to investigate and highlight SC resilience differences by size and industry type to establish more resilient firms.Design/methodology/approachBuilding upon the contingent resource-based view of the firm, the authors posit that organizational factors such as size and industry sector have important roles in developing organizational resilience capabilities. This systematic literature review and analysis is based on the structural and systematic analysis of high-ranked peer-reviewed journal papers from January 2000 to June 2021 collected through three global scientific databases (i.e. ProQuest, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar) using relevant keywords.FindingsThis systematic literature review of 230 high-quality articles shows that SC risk events can be categorized into demand, supply, organizational, operational, environmental, and network/control risk events. This study suggests that the SC resilience plans developed by startups, small and mdium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and large organizations are not necessarily the same as those of large enterprises. While collaboration and networking and risk management are the most crucial resilience capabilities for all firms, applying lean and quality management principles and utilizing information technology are more crucial for SMEs. For large firms, knowledge management and contingency planning are more important.Originality/valueThis study provides a comprehensive review of the literature on SC resilience plans across different organizational sizes and industries, offering new insights into the nature and dynamics of startups', SMEs', and large enterprises' SC resilience in different industries. The study highlights the need for further investigation of SC risk and resilience for startups, SMEs, and different industries on a more detailed level using empirical data. This study’s findings have important implications for researchers and practitioners and guide the development of effective SC resilience strategies for different types of firms.
ICT-enabled approach for humanitarian disaster management: a systems perspective
Authors: Ghadge Abhijeet 
Published: June 2023

PurposeEach stage in disaster management faces different challenges concerning information gathering, sharing, interpretation and dissemination. However, a comprehensive understanding of different information and communication technology (ICT) systems utilised for humanitarian disaster management is limited. Therefore, the paper follows a systems thinking approach to examine ten major man-made and/or natural disasters to comprehend the influence of ICT systems on humanitarian relief operations.Design/methodology/approachA longitudinal, multi-case study captures the use of ICT tools, stakeholders involvement, disaster stages and zones of operations for relief operations over the past two decades. A systems thinking approach is utilised to draw several inferences and develop frameworks.FindingsMultiple ICT tools such as geographic information systems, online webpages/search engines, social media, unmanned aerial vehicles/robots and artificial intelligence are used for rapid disaster response and mitigation. Speed and coordination of relief operations have significantly increased in recent years due to the increased use of ICT systems.Research limitations/implicationsSecondary data on the past ten disasters is utilised to draw inferences. The developed ICT-driven model must be validated during upcoming humanitarian relief operations.Practical implicationsA holistic understanding of a complex inter-relationship between influential variables (stakeholders, disaster stages, zones of operation, ICT systems) is beneficial for effectively managing humanitarian disasters.Originality/valueBroadly classifying the ICT systems into surveillance, decision support and broadcasting systems, a novel ICT-enabled model for humanitarian relief operations is developed.
Improving Patient Access Scheme in Malaysia: lessons from Italy
Authors: Ashraf Amirul , Ong Siew Chin 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
Medicine prices are increasing globally, including in Malaysia where previous studies show prices higher than international averages. Patient Access Scheme (PAS) is a mechanism adopted by Malaysia in 2018 to facilitate access to expensive medicines, similarly used by Italy since 2005. This study aims to compare the implementation of PAS in Malaysia and Italy.

Design/methodology/approach
This review systematically searched for peer-reviewed articles in PubMed, Scopus and ScienceDirect on how Italy implemented PAS system from 2012 to 2022 using the related keywords. The systematic review is reported according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.

Findings
The search identified 363 articles. A total of eight studies were included. Most of the studies found that PAS is able to control the expenditure on expensive drugs. PAS has also had several challenges, such as high administrative burden, high upfront cost and the need for good data infrastructure.

Originality/value
This study’s unique focus on Italy’s adoption of managed entry agreements (MEA) can provide valuable insights for Malaysia’s pricing mechanisms and access to expensive drugs. Notably, this research addresses a gap in the literature regarding the practical implications of MEA implementation in developing countries. The findings have the potential to improve access to essential medicines for Malaysian citizens while offering a fresh perspective on MEA utilization in emerging markets.
A problem of generations? Habitus, social processes and climate change
Authors: Bickerstaffe Tim 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
This conceptual paper focusses on climate change as a social issue and therefore as a social scientific problem. According to young climate activists, Greta Thunberg being the most widely known, climate change is specifically a problem of generations. Typically, the discourse on responsibility focusses on the technical and philosophical questions posed by the study into “intra-” and “inter-generational justice”. It is the purpose of this paper to present sociological conceptual tools with which to both analyze and propose solutions to specific social problems caused by current generations that will affect future generations.

Design/methodology/approach
Figurational process sociology develops and tests models of long-term, unplanned developments, which produce the conditions in which short-term practices of informing and planning social interventions are bound up.

Findings
The paper reveals the significance of sociological models that can describe and explain social processes and long-term developments in human habitus that have important explanatory value for understanding contemporary social problems such as human-caused climate change.

Originality/value
The concepts and analytical frames of reference provided by figurational process sociology provide crucial insights into the problem of generations and can help reveal how this social dynamic contributes to challenges facing young climate activists calling for rapid “ecologization” processes and increased human restraint with regard to the natural environment.
Devote yourself to enjoy daily work: a diary study on flow experience and organizational identification
Authors: Mao Yanhui , Guo Shuangyang , Xie Mei , Yu Junkai , Deng Xuyuan , Li Yingchao , Zhai Yuxi , Kong Feng 
Published: June 2023

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the day-to-day within-person associations between employees' flow experience and organizational identification within the rarely studied context of construction engineering project organizations.Design/methodology/approachIn this daily diary design, the authors surveyed 204 (Mage = 28.3, SD = 5.69) employees of a state-owned construction engineering project organization in southwest China via the online questionnaires comprising flow and organizational identification scales once daily on each workday for three consecutive weeks, which yielded 3,060 data entries. The authors then tested the temporal directionality between flow and organizational identification with multilevel time-series cross-lagged path analysis using Mplus 8.3.FindingsDaily flow experience was linked positively with same-day organizational identification. Importantly, flow experience on the previous day predicted organizational identification on a subsequent day, but not vice versa.Practical implicationsThis study suggests that construction engineering project managers should implement interventions fostering the employees' flow experience to promote organizational identification, with important implications for organizations aiming at flourishing workforces by facilitating organizational identification through implementing flow strategies.Originality/valueThere is a dearth of diary studies on flow and organizational identification specific to construction engineering project employees. The authors’ findings provide concrete evidence of the fluctuant nature of daily flow experience and organizational identification as well as their dynamic predictive pathway relationship.
Transparency in public administrations: a structured literature review
Authors: Cuadrado-Ballesteros Beatriz , Ríos Ana-María , Guillamón María-Dolores 
Published: June 2023

PurposeLiterature about transparency in public-sector organizations has been attracting the attention of scholars for the last two decades. This study reviews the existing literature with the intention of creating a description of the state of the art, categorized by geographical areas, levels of government, topics, and methodologies.Design/methodology/approachThe authors have developed a structured literature review following a rigorous protocol. The initial search was launched on 25 April 2022 on Scopus and Web of Science, resulting in 3,217 articles. After removing duplicates and studies that did not meet all the inclusion criteria specified in the review protocol, the final sample includes 956 articles from 1991 to 2021.FindingsThe analyses show a considerable increase in studies since 2005, especially in the last two years, when 30% of the publications have been produced. Most of the studies analyze the national/central level of government. Many authors compare different countries, while other scholars focus on specific countries, overall, the USA and the UK. The local level of government has also been widely studied, especially in the Spanish and Chinese contexts. The most frequently used methodologies are quantitative and empirical techniques, and the most common topics are those associated with accountability.Originality/valueThis study uses a huge sample (956 articles over the period 1991–2021), which has never been used before, to examine the literature on transparency. The structured literature review facilitates the identification of gaps that can be filled by future studies. These include analyzing transparency in specific geographical areas like Africa, Asia, and Latin America, studying transparency at different levels of government, especially at the regional and federal levels, and providing comparative studies and case study collections.
Intangible capital and financial leverage in SMEs
Authors: Norkio Antti 
Published: June 2023

PurposeIntangible capital (IC) is an important factor for economic growth and firm performance. The role IC has played has become even more crucial in recent decades, possibly influencing debt capacity and default risk assessment. This paper studies how entrepreneurial and employee-based IC affects financial leverage.Design/methodology/approachEmployer–employee unbalanced panel data provided by Statistics Finland that refer to Finnish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are used. Intangibles are measured with an expenditure-based method. Employee-based IC and entrepreneurial knowledge are used to explain debt financing in SMEs.FindingsThe findings imply that IC-intensive firms have less debt capacity due to weak pledgeability and asymmetric information between borrower and lender. Entrepreneurs with managerial or financial knowledge increase the firm's debt capacity compared to other entrepreneurs, especially in knowledge-intensive services (KIS). One explanation is that the entrepreneurs are more competent in negotiating with lenders as the entrepreneurs possess better financial skills. Entrepreneurs with technical knowledge decrease the firm's debt capacity in all industries.Originality/valueWhile some earlier research focused on the IC–financial leverage relationship, hardly any study has looked at entrepreneurial IC. This paper provides new insights by including entrepreneurial IC alongside employee-based IC.
Research on two-stage grasping planning method for multifingered dexterous hand
Authors: Tian Zhonglai , Cheng Hongtai , Zhao Liangliang , Zhao Jingdong 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to design a multifingered dexterous hand grasping planning method that can efficiently perform grasping tasks on multiple dexterous hand platforms.

Design/methodology/approach
The grasping process is divided into two stages: offline and online. In the offline stage, the grasping solution form is improved based on the forward kinematic model of the dexterous hand. A comprehensive evaluation method of grasping quality is designed to obtain the optimal grasping solution offline data set. In the online stage, a safe and efficient selection strategy of the optimal grasping solution is proposed, which can quickly obtain the optimal grasping solution without collision.

Findings
The experiments verified that the method can be applied to different multifingered dexterous hands, and the average grasping success rate for objects with different structures is 91.7%, indicating a good grasping effect.

Originality/value
Using a forward kinematic model to generate initial grasping points can improve the generality of grasping planning methods and the quality of initial grasping solutions. The offline data set of optimized grasping solutions can be generated faster by the comprehensive evaluation method of grasping quality. Through the simple and fast obstacle avoidance strategy, the safe optimal grasping solution can be quickly obtained when performing a grasping task. The proposed method can be applied to automatic assembly scenarios where the end effector is a multifingered dexterous hand, which provides a technical solution for the promotion of multifingered dexterous hands in industrial scenarios.
The core microbiota as a predictor of soil functional traits promotes soil nutrient cycling and wheat production in dryland farming
Authors: Liu Lei , Gao Ya , Gao Zhiyuan , Zhu Li , Yan Rong , Yang Wenjie , Yang Yu , Liu Jinshan 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Host plants and the microbiota living in the rhizosphere are interdependent, mutually reinforced and mutually beneficial but the assembly, functions and microbial interactions of the host‐associated microbiota are still unclear.

Herein, winter wheat was selected as a test plant to explore the assembly process of total bacteria from bulk soil (BS) and rhizosphere soil (RS), and phoD‐harbouring bacteria in RS at a long‐term (14 years) trial site. We also identified core microbes that are potentially relevant to soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycling genes and soil biogeochemical properties, and investigated the relationships between soil variables, functional genes and wheat productivity.

The results showed that the microhabitat of the plant, rather than P fertilizer input, was the main factor affecting the microbial diversity, composition and co‐occurrence networks. The BS bacterial community was driven by deterministic processes but the RS and phoD bacterial communities were dominated by stochastic processes. The influence of deterministic processes decreased with increasing soil nutrient content. A core microbial community consisted of 10 OTUs in different microhabitats and was significantly related to soil functional genes and properties. In the rhizosphere soil, significant correlations were found between soil variables, soil functional bacteria and genes, and crop productivity.

Synthesis and applications. This study provides empirical evidence that the assembly process of the microbial community is governed by environmental factors in various soil environments and provides new perspectives on the sustainable improvement of crop productivity.

Effects of chaotropic salts on global proteome stability in halophilic archaea: Implications for life signatures on Mars
Authors: Carré Lorenzo , Gonzalez Daniel , Girard Éric , Franzetti Bruno 
Published: June 2023

AbstractHalophilic archaea thriving in hypersaline environments, such as salt lakes, offer models for putative life in extraterrestrial brines such as those found on Mars. However, little is known about the effect of the chaotropic salts that could be found in such brines, such as MgCl2, CaCl2 and (per)chlorate salts, on complex biological samples like cell lysates which could be expected to be more representative of biomarkers left behind putative extraterrestrial life forms. We used intrinsic fluorescence to study the salt dependence of proteomes extracted from five halophilic strains: Haloarcula marismortui, Halobacterium salinarum, Haloferax mediterranei, Halorubrum sodomense and Haloferax volcanii. These strains were isolated from Earth environments with different salt compositions. Among the five strains that were analysed, H. mediterranei stood out as a results of its high dependency on NaCl for its proteome stabilization. Interestingly, the results showed contrasting denaturation responses of the proteomes to chaotropic salts. In particular, the proteomes of strains that are most dependent or tolerant on MgCl2 for growth exhibited higher tolerance towards chaotropic salts that are abundant in terrestrial and Martian brines. These experiments bridge together global protein properties and environmental adaptation and help guide the search for protein‐like biomarkers in extraterrestrial briny environments.
The Role of Primary Care in Advancing Civic Engagement and Health Equity: A Conceptual Framework
Authors: HABIB DANIEL R. S. , KLEIN LAUREN M. , PERRIN ELIANA M. , PERRIN ANDREW J. , JOHNSON SARA B. 
Published: June 2023

Policy Points
Health and civic engagement are reciprocally and longitudinally linked: Poor health is associated with less civic engagement. Well‐established social drivers of health and health inequality such as inadequate access to health care, poverty, racism, housing instability, and food insecurity are also drivers of lower civic engagement.
A robust primary care system can play a key role in advancing civic engagement (e.g., voting, volunteerism, community service, and political involvement) at the population level but has received little attention.
Policy and practice solutions at the individual and structural levels should support and leverage potential synergies among health equity, civic engagement, and primary care.
ContextHealth and civic engagement are linked. Healthier people may be able to participate more fully in civic life, although those with poorer health may be motivated to address the roots of their health challenges using collective action. In turn, civically active people may experience better health, and societies with more equitable health and health care may experience healthier civic life. Importantly, a robust primary care system is linked to greater health equity. However, the role of primary care in advancing civic engagement has received little study.MethodsWe synthesize current literature on the links among health, civic engagement, and primary care. We propose a conceptual framework to advance research and policy on the role of primary care in supporting civic engagement as a means for individuals to actualize their health and civic futures.FindingsCurrent literature supports relationships between health equity and civic engagement. However, this literature is primarily cross‐sectional and confined to voting. Our integrative conceptual framework highlights the interconnectedness of primary care structures, health equity, and civic engagement and supports the crucial role of primary care in advancing both civic and health outcomes. Primary care is a potentially fruitful setting for cultivating community and individual health and power by supporting social connectedness, self‐efficacy, and collective action.ConclusionsHealth and civic engagement are mutually reinforcing. Commonalities between social determinants of health and civic engagement constitute an important convergence for policy, practice, and research. Responsibility for promoting both health and civic engagement is shared by providers, community organizations, educators, and policymakers, as well as democratic and health systems, yet these entities rarely work in concert. Future work can inform policy and practice to bolster primary care as a means for promoting health and civic engagement.
‘Your Offence is That You By‐Passed Us’: Women, Violence and Agency in Biafra during the Nigeria–Biafra War, 1967–1970
Authors: Bello Taiwo 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThis article examines women's roles in Biafra during the Nigerian Civil War. For more than five decades, the history of women's support for Biafra's secessionist struggle has been marginalised in the existing literature. Much of what we know about the conflict has been based on men's exploits and perspectives, creating an imbalance in the war's narratives. With the aid of recently conducted interviews and ample archival materials, this article brings a new insight into the war, challenging the long‐sustained assumption that women played marginal roles in the conflict.
