How to enhance company engagement in public-private emergency collaborations in the supply of essential goods
Authors: Lüttenberg Markus , Zienau Alexander , Wiens Marcus , Hansen Ole , Diehlmann Florian , Schultmann Frank 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
In crises like natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic, public actors might have to take over responsibility for the population’s supply when the market fails to meet the demand for essential goods. Companies can be valuable collaboration partners for public actors. However, conditions under which companies are willing and able to support public crisis management need to be better understood. This paper aims to empirically investigate expectations and motivation to better understand the motives leading companies to participate in public–private emergency collaborations. To enable successful collaboration, the paper develops crisis preparedness guidelines for state institutions and companies.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors develop and conduct a survey and statistically analyze the responses of 398 German companies from the food, health-care and logistics sectors.

Findings
Most companies have already engaged in crisis management and are willing to engage collaboratively. While their preferred contribution to collaborative crisis management is providing resources (e.g. goods or equipment) instead of coordination tasks, they also want to ensure that their business processes are sustained. Among the most promising incentives to increase company engagement are monetary compensation for provided resources and an improved communication policy. Logistics companies are motivated more by relaxing regulations, whereas health-care companies prefer reputation measures.

Practical implications
The insights provide the basis for public and private actors to foster public–private collaboration and raises awareness of its potential during crises. Moreover, this study promotes the systematic implementation of public–private emergency collaborations.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to empirically investigate the perspective of companies operating in the fields of logistics, food and health-care industries toward public–private collaboration in crisis management.
The key to unlocking implicit status: the effects of interpersonal perceptions and leadership emergence on advice-giving network centrality
Authors: Xu Minya , Liu Beini , Ji Xiaode 
Published: January 2025

PurposeMost existing research has focused on the outcomes of advice-giving network centrality for focal employees, neglecting to address what drives employee centrality in advice-giving networks. Our study aims to explore how and when employees attain a central position in an advice-giving network.Design/methodology/approachThrough a multi-wave, multi-source survey design, we collected data from 148 full-time employees on 34 newly established self-managed teams. We used Mplus 8 for data analysis and hypothesis testing.FindingsInterpersonal trust and leadership emergence sequentially mediate the relationship between warmth/competence perceptions and advice-giving network centrality. Employee narcissism weakens the positive relationship between leadership emergence and advice-giving network centrality and further weakens the mediation effects.Originality/valueDrawing on the social capital theory of career success and the approach-inhibition theory of power, we outline the driving mechanism behind and the boundary condition for advice-giving network centrality. Our findings not only uncover effective career development strategies for employees but also offer practical insights for managers to improve team effectiveness.
Boeing: wait, there’s more
Authors: Shea Gregory P. , Allon Gad 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
The unfolding story of Boeing enables increased understanding of what transpired, of how what happened. That understanding enables fuller, more nuanced, specific, and useful recommendations for organizational leaders everywhere.

Design/methodology/approach
Compiling key events in Boeing’s migration from symbol of acclaimed quality products to a troubled maker of a repeatedly (and fatally so) flawed product ground interpretation and extraction of lessons for organizational leaders.

Findings
Restoring Boeing’s legacy of trust and industry leadership would demand more than words. It will demand rethinking strategic direction and implementation, such as restructuring its work systems, particularly the decision-making processes, and aligning them with long-term goals of quality, safety, and innovation. Boeing needs a coordinated effort to rebuild its culture, an effort necessarily comparable to the effort it employed to disassemble it.

Practical implications
This paper assists readers in understanding what underlies the Boeing story, indeed the Boeing tragedy. The facts testify to the decay and rot at Boeing. The facts alone, even when combined with first pass “sense making” under headings such as “culture” and “short term focus”, do not adequately explain what produced the facts. This paper attempts to provide that explanation in the service of furthering learning and improving future actions by organizational leaders, especially concerning their development and implementation of strategy.

Social implications
Boeing offers a cautionary tale-fatality, destruction of value, and erosion of employee well-being. Organizing this tale, as the article does, through both application of theory and extraction of lessons, moves the tale beyond frightening to understanding of underlying leadership and of how to avoid replicating Boeing's tragedy.

Originality/value
This paper assists readers in understanding what underlies the Boeing story, indeed the Boeing tragedy. The facts testify to the decay and rot at Boeing. The facts alone, even when combined with first pass “sense making” under headings such as “culture” and “short term focus”, do not sufficiently explain what produced the facts. This paper attempts to provide that explanation in the service of furthering learning and improving future actions by organizational leaders, especially concerning their development and implementation of strategy.
Photosynthesis, water‐use and nitrogen relate to both plant height and leaf structure in 60 species from the Mediterranean

Abstract

Within individuals and/or species of trees, the structure and gas exchange of sun‐exposed leaves from the outer part of the canopy have been found to relate to sampling height. Across species, the gas exchange of such leaves has been shown to relate to their structure and biochemical composition, but not to canopy height. Why are leaf traits related to height within tree species but not across a broader range of species? And what are the components of leaf structure involved in leaf‐level carbon, water and nitrogen economies?

Plant height, leaf mass per area (LMA) and its underlying components, gas exchange, leaf nitrogen and carbon isotopic discrimination were assessed for 60 species from different life and growth forms growing in the Mediterranean, spanning a wide range of height and LMA values.

Contrary to previous comparisons across species, our study shows that leaves of tall plants had a high LMA, a high leaf dry matter content (LDMC) and were slightly thicker; their stomatal conductance and photosynthetic rate were low, while their intrinsic water‐use efficiency (iWUE) was high. LMA was related to all gas exchange variables as well as to leaf nitrogen. These effects were mostly mediated through LDMC, with limited effects of leaf thickness. These conclusions were hardly modified when phylogeny was account for.

Across species of varying life and growth forms, leaf functioning relates to both plant height and leaf structure. These results provide a generalization of previous conclusions found in trees at the intra‐individual and/or intraspecific levels. Inconsistencies among previous studies with respect to plant height are likely an issue of context‐dependency, which should be explicitly taken into account for a better understanding of plant form and function.

Differential Responses of Methylobacterium and Sphingomonas Species to Multispecies Interactions in the Phyllosphere
Authors: Schlechter R. O. , Remus‐Emsermann M. N. P. 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThe leaf surface, known as the phylloplane, presents an oligotrophic and heterogeneous environment due to its topography and uneven distribution of resources. Although it is a challenging environment, leaves support abundant bacterial communities that are spatially structured. However, the factors influencing these spatial distribution patterns are not well understood. To study the changes in population density and spatial distribution of bacteria in synthetic communities, the behaviour of two common bacterial groups in the Arabidopsis thaliana leaf microbiota—Methylobacterium (methylobacteria) and Sphingomonas (sphingomonads)—was examined. Using synthetic communities consisting of two or three species, the hypothesis was tested that the presence of a third species affects the density and spatial interaction of the other two species. Results indicated that methylobacteria exhibit greater sensitivity to changes in population densities and spatial patterns, with higher intra‐genus competition and lower densities and aggregation compared to sphingomonads. Pairwise comparisons were insufficient to explain the shifts observed in three‐species communities, suggesting that higher‐order interactions influence the structuring of complex communities. This emphasises the role of multispecies interactions in determining spatial patterns and community dynamics on the phylloplane.
Extremism and the potential dismantling of special education: Or moving forward with inclusive special education
Authors: Kauffman James M. , Hornby Garry 
Published: January 2025

AbstractExtremism in special education has been an endemic feature for decades but its most recent iteration, the full inclusion movement (FIM), is pushing special education toward a radical ideology in which placement in mainstream schools, rather than providing effective instruction, is becoming the main focus of efforts to meet the needs of students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). We first review some realities that we believe are basic to special education as it has been conceptualised and practiced. Second, we provide examples of the rhetoric of supporters of the full inclusion movement that do not conform to those realities and consequentially threaten the existence of special education. Third, we suggest a way in which special education might be transformed through the adoption of policies that conform to those realities while being based on research evidence of their effectiveness in improving outcomes and a combination of the best aspects of special education and inclusive education. We conclude that there is an urgent need to recognise this extremist threat to special education, do what we can to prevent it, and avoid its potential negative consequences.

ABSTRACTObjectiveProvide an evidence‐based basis for the selection of cardiovascular benefit drugs in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).MethodsConduct a comprehensive search of all relevant literature from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Clinical Trials.gov from their establishment until December 13, 2023, and select randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that meet the pre‐established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Use the Cochrane bias risk assessment tool to evaluate the quality of the included literature. Use R 4.3.2 software to conduct network meta‐analysis for drug category comparison.ResultsA total of 24 large‐scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included, including 19 intervention measures, and 172 803 patients participated in the study. The results of the network meta‐analysis show that: GLP1RA (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.81–0.97) and SGLT2i (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.83–0.99) can reduce the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), GLP1RA (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.79–0.97) and SGLT2i (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.81–0.99) reduced the risk of cardiovascular death. SGLT2i (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.62–0.75) reduced the occurrence of hospitalization for heart failure, GLP1RA (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.81–0.97) and SGLT2i (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.80–0.97) reduced the occurrence of all‐cause death.ConclusionIn the comparison of new hypoglycemic drug classes, GLP1RA and SGLT2i reduced MACE, cardiovascular mortality and all‐cause mortality in T2DM patients with CVD, with no significant difference in efficacy, and DPP4i was noninferior to placebo. Only GLP1RA reduced the risk of nonfatal stroke, and only SGLT2i reduced the risk of HHF.

ABSTRACTObjectivesTo determine the prevalence of self‐reported delayed adverse events (DAEs), major AEs, and flares following COVID‐19 vaccinations among patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs) in Malaysia.MethodologyAn electronically validated survey from the COVID‐19 vaccination in autoimmune diseases (COVAD) study group was distributed in July 2021 to patients with autoimmune diseases and healthy controls (HCs). The survey collected data on DAEs (any AE that persisted or occurred after 7 days of vaccination), any early or delayed major adverse events (MAEs), and flares following COVID‐19 vaccination. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) models were performed to determine the factors associated with repeated events of DAEs, MAEs, and flares.ResultsA total of 556 vaccines were administered to 204 subjects (150 AIRDs and 54 HCs), with 72.1% completing 3 doses. In multivariate GEE analysis, there was a greater frequency of minor DAEs among AIRDs versus HCs (OR 5.65, p = 0.052). The occurrence of MAEs was higher in AIRDs versus HCs (4.9% vs. 1.3%, p = 0.052), but it was no longer significant in the GEE model. In the AIRDs group, the BNT162b2 vaccine increased the risk for minor DAEs (OR4.68, p = 0.02) while patients with autoimmune multimorbidity showed a greater risk for MAEs (OR 8.25, p = 0.007). The rate of flare was 10.6% and multivariate GEE analysis revealed that The rate of flare was 10.6% and multivariate GEE analysis revealed that systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (OR0.31, p = 0.03) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) (OR 0.16, p < 0.001) were protective against flare.ConclusionThe rates of minor DAEs, major AEs, and flares were comparable with other reported studies. Different types of vaccines, underlying AIRDs, and treatments may influence the symptoms of AEs and flares postvaccination against COVID‐19.

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo analyze the diagnostic value of a combined test of anti‐cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (CCP), anti‐keratin antibody (AKA), anti‐carbamylated protein antibody (Carp antibody), and rheumatoid factor (RF) in the early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsSixty cases of RA admitted to our hospital from 2021 to 2022 (observation group) were selected, along with 50 cases of healthy physical examiners (control group). The results of CCP antibody, AKA antibody, Carp antibody, and rheumatoid factor in both groups were analyzed: the concentration of CCP antibody, AKA antibody, Carp antibody, and rheumatoid factor in each group at different levels; the comparison of various testing methods with the “gold standard” test; and the ROC curve analysis of CCP antibody, AKA antibody, Carp antibody, and rheumatoid factor in each group.ResultsThe concentrations of CCP antibody, AKA antibody, Carp antibody, and rheumatoid factor were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, there was a significant increase in the concentrations of CCP antibody, AKA antibody, Carp antibody, and rheumatoid factor from the mild to moderate group (p < 0.05), as well as from the moderate to severe group (p < 0.05). Additionally, when comparing the mild and severe groups, there was a significant elevation in the concentrations of CCP antibody, AKA antibody, Carp antibody (p < 0.05), and rheumatoid factor (p < 0.05).ConclusionAnti‐cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody, AKA antibody, Carp antibody, and rheumatoid factor combined tests have high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of RA.

Published: January 2025

AbstractFusarium crown and root rot (FCRR) of asparagus caused by Fusarium spp., results in plant stunting, wilting, vascular discoloration, and root rot reducing the longevity and productivity of this perennial vegetable. Metam‐sodium is a broad‐spectrum pre‐plant fumigant commonly used in Michigan asparagus nurseries to mitigate FCRR by reducing disease presence in 1‐year‐old crowns that are used for establishing production fields. The objective of the current study was to compare the diversity of Fusarium species associated with nursery‐grown asparagus crowns from soils fumigated preplant with metam‐sodium to those from unfumigated nurseries. Based on sequences of the TEF‐1α (transcription elongation factor 1‐alpha) region, seven Fusarium spp. were identified including F. oxysporum, F. proliferatum, F. solani, F. acuminatum, F. avenaceum, F. graminearum and F. incarnatum‐equiseti. Fusarium oxysporum was the most frequently isolated species (92%). No significant differences were noted between Fusarium populations isolated from nurseries that had been fumigated with metam‐sodium and those isolated from the nursery that had not been fumigated. Pathogenic isolates of F. oxysporum were recovered from nurseries at a similar rate regardless of fumigation status. These findings indicate that metam‐sodium is inadequate as a pre‐plant treatment for Fusarium crown and root rot and alternative strategies need to be explored.

ABSTRACTThe current mechanism by which aging reduces salivary secretion is unknown. This study investigates the mechanism of aging‐related submandibular (SMG) dysfunction and evaluates the therapeutic potential of dental pulp stem cell‐derived exosomes (DPSC‐exos). We found that the stimulated salivary flow rate was significantly reduced in naturally aging and D‐galactose‐induced aging mice (D‐gal mice) compared to control mice. Acinar atrophy and periductal fibrosis in SMGs and parotid glands (PGs) were observed in naturally aging and D‐gal mice, whereas sublingual glands (SLGs) had no notable alterations. We observed the accumulation of senescent cells in the SMGs, along with a decrease in claudin‐3 (Cldn‐3) expression and alterations in the distribution of Cldn1 and Cldn3. Additionally, after D‐gal‐induced senescence of SMG‐C6 cells, there was a decrease in paracellular pathway permeability, reduced expression of Cldn3 and occludin, and changes in the distribution of Cldn1, 3, 4, and 7. Furthermore, injecting DPSC‐exos into the SMGs of D‐gal mice improved stimulated salivary flow rate, reduced acinar atrophy, and decreased SA‐β‐gal activity. Our study identified that increased senescence of SMGs in aging mice can cause a decrease in salivary secretion by disrupting the expression and distribution of tight junction molecules, and injection of DPSC‐exos ameliorates SMG secretory dysfunction. These findings may provide new clues to novel therapeutic targets for aging‐related dysfunction of SMGs.

ABSTRACTNatural ecotones between forest and lake‐swamp succession impose severe environmental filters for ant fauna, compared to adjacent forest habitats. This filter effect may be more severe for soil than canopy fauna. We tested this hypothesis by investigating the patterns of species occurrence, richness and composition of soil and canopy ants in forest and lake‐swamp ecotones in a tropical river basin. We established two transects (250 m) at each site, one placed in the ecotone (i.e., flood zone) and the other inside the adjacent forest. Although upper and lower river basin had totally different ant species composition, the species occurrence, richness and composition distribution between habitats followed a similar pattern for both altitudes. Occurrence of soil ants and species richness was similar between interior and ecotone. The occurrence and species richness of canopy ants were both higher in the ecotones than in the forest interior. Ant species composition was similar between the ecotone and adjacent forest, for both soil and canopy fauna, and the ant species composition was different between seasons (dry and rainy) and between canopy and soil fauna. Most importantly, the environmental filter imposed by the ecotone and its unpredictable habitat conditions favoured fewer but opportunistic species, which drove the higher occurrence in these habitats. The years we studied were particularly dry and had a substantial decrease in lake depth. Hence, the abilities of species to best use unpredictable resources from the natural succession on the new dry grounds might have been defined by omnivorous, opportunistic and numerically dominant ants. The abiotic particularities of forest‐water ecotones are important in the temporal dynamics of ant species assemblages. Fluctuations in water dynamics can restrict soil assemblages, but subtle changes in soil flooding also affect canopy fauna and can have unpredictable effects due to intensified variations in seasonal dynamics.
