Abusive supervision and employee unethical pro-organizational behavior: a moderated mediation model of moral disengagement and traditionality
Authors: Yan Wei , Chen Huan , He Yan , Zhang Cuilian 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
This study aims to understand how abusive supervision influences employees’ unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB). In particular, the mediating effect of moral disengagement and moderating role of traditionality on this relationship were examined.

Design/methodology/approach
This study conducted a two-wave questionnaire survey using data collected from 629 employees from different companies in China. Moderated mediation analysis was conducted to test the hypotheses.

Findings
The results show that moral disengagement mediates the relationship between abusive supervision and employees’ UPB. Employee traditionality enhances the relationship between abusive supervision and moral disengagement as well as the indirect effect of abusive supervision on employees’ UPB via moral disengagement.

Originality/value
First, by exploring the positive impact of abusive supervision on UPB, the authors enhance the current understanding of the role of negative leadership in the development of UPB and enrich the research on the antecedents of UPB and outcomes of abusive supervision. Second, based on social cognitive theory, this study enriches the literature on abusive supervision and employee UPB by identifying moral disengagement as a mediator. Third, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the authors are among the first to incorporate traditionality to tell a Chinese story about how traditional employees respond to the effects of abusive supervision on UPB, providing a new lens for the cultural boundary condition in the occurrence mechanism of UPB.

Published: March 2023

PurposeThe unstable labor productivity and periodic planning method cause barriers to improving construction logistics management. This paper aims to explore a demand-driven mechanism for efficient construction logistics planning to record the material consumption, report the real-time demand and trigger material replenishment from off-site to on-site, which is aided by Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the Kanban technique.Design/methodology/approachThis paper follows the design science research (DSR) principles to propose a system of designing and applying Kanban batch with 4D BIM for construction logistics planning and monitoring. Prototype development with comparative simulation experiments of a river remediation project is conducted to analyze the conventional and Kanban-triggered supply. Two-staged industrial interviews are conducted to guide and evaluate the system design.FindingsThe proposed BIM-enabled Kanban system enables construction managers and suppliers to better set integrated on- and off-site targets, report real-time demands and conduct collaborative planning and monitoring. The simulation results present significant site storage and schedule savings applying the BIM-enabled Kanban system. Feedback and constructive suggestions from practitioners are collected via interviews and analyzed for further development.Originality/valueThis paper brings to the limelight the benefits of implementing BIM-enabled demand-driven replenishment to remove waste from the material flow. This paper combines lean production theory with advanced information technology to solve construction logistics management problems.

Published: March 2023

PurposeOnly recently have historic concrete buildings received attention and the need for their protection has been understood. Their listing as architectural heritage in most countries is ruled by legislations. The research carried out within the framework of the CONSECH20 JPI project on the conservation of historic concrete buildings in the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Italy and the Netherlands has allowed to study the legislations in the four aforementioned countries and how these are brought to practice. This paper aims at the evaluation of these legislations and of their function in practice.Design/methodology/approachThe legislations have been examined focussing on the protection of historic buildings and the guidelines to achieve a correct technical conservation. These were assessed in practical situations. The situations of the four countries were studied and the parameters used allowed comparisons.FindingsConcrete buildings are at risk and the guidelines should be further developed to meet actual conservation needs, including historical and aesthetical compatibility. The re-use of listed concrete buildings often means transforming and adapting these to a variety of modern needs and norms: the complexity of this assignment asks for a multidisciplinary teamwork. The bottom-up Dutch programme for quality in conservation, striving to bring ethical and technological principles to practice, could be a sound basis for developing respectful conservation strategies of heritage concrete buildings.Research limitations/implicationsThe research concerns the four countries involved in the CONSECH30 project and could be extended to include more countries.Practical implicationsMore stakeholders have to be involved in the process of conservation and transformation of heritage concrete buildings. This should be directed by the legislation.Social implicationsNo direct social implications are foreseen from the outcome of the research. However, the suggestion is made that social involvement is essential in planning concrete building transformations.Originality/valueThe study focussed on the application of theory (the legislation) to practice (thus showing the limits of the legislation), which is an innovative way of contributing to the conservation of historic concrete buildings.
Psychosocial support for indigenous informal caregivers in Colombia
Authors: Paredes-Arturo Yenny Vicky , Florez-Madroñero Andrea , Aguirre-Acevedo Daniel Camilo 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to analyze how psychosocial support influences caring activities toward indigenous older adults.

Design/methodology/approach
A descriptive study with the participation of 229 informal indigenous caregivers. The study considered both sociodemographic and medical variables. It used the mini-mental test to determine the cognitive level in the elderly. It applied the Yesavage and Zarit scales to establish depressive symptomatology and caregiver burden. Finally, the study used the MOS psychosocial support and Apgar screening questionnaires to assess the psychosocial dimension and the patient’s family functional state, respectively.

Findings
The study observed a low caregiver burden effect using the MOS questionnaire. This may be explained due to variability in the Zarit Scale Score product of other variables like years of care (−0.17 and −0.28), depressive symptoms (0.16 and 0.18), cognitive level (mini-mental) (−0.13 and −0.14) and comorbidity (0.26 and −0.27). The study obtained an incidence between (−0.02 and −0.12) when including all assessed dimensions into the model. The instrumental dimension in the social support questionnaire obtained the highest score.

Originality/value
Protective factors prevail in the group of indigenous caregivers allowing this activity to not trigger overload. Yet, variables such as the female gender, some comorbidities and the presence of depressive symptoms could be potential variables for dysfunction in this occupational role.
Decoupling analysis of water consumption and economic development of arid and semiarid regions in Northwest China

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe contradiction between China's economic development, its need for resources and the protection of the environment is ctitical. Scarce water resources have resulted in a considerable bottleneck restricting the economic development of water‐deficient areas. An objective evaluation of the decoupling state of water consumption and economic development has become an important indicator of regional economic sustainable development. Based on panel data from 2000 to 2017 for six provinces in the arid and semiarid regions of Northwest China, the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index method is employed to decompose the factors of the decoupling index and establish a decoupling relationship model between water consumption and economic development. The reasons that affect the decoupling state of water resource utilization and economic development are herein discussed, and the stability of the decoupling trend is analysed. Based on the overall regional trend, the decoupling state of the arid and semiarid regions in Northwest China improved from weak to strong, but the high decoupling stability index varied among the provinces. The intensity and structure were promotional factors for decoupling water consumption and economic development, and the contribution rate of the intensity factor was higher than that of the structure factor. Income and population were inhibiting factors for decoupling water consumption and economic development, and the contribution rate of the income factor was higher than that of the population factor. Based on these results, corresponding policy recommendations are provided.
Productivity in Indonesian agriculture: Impacts of domestic and international research
Authors: Warr Peter 
Published: March 2023

AbstractTotal factor productivity growth contributed 38% of Indonesia's agricultural output growth from the mid‐1970s to the mid‐2000s. This study uses time series data analysed with an error correction mechanism to examine the contribution that Indonesian publicly funded agricultural research made to this outcome, allowing for other possible determinants of productivity growth, including international agricultural research, extension, government price policy and weather. The results imply a 27% real annual rate of return from a marginal increase in Indonesian agricultural research expenditure. Indonesia's public agricultural research explains virtually all of its agricultural total factor productivity growth between 1975 and 2006.
Influencers as institutions: Impact of digital politics in the Global South

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe digital space has become indispensable for campaigns around the world. However, it is not obvious how digital influence translates to leverage on‐ground action, particularly in its impact on protest movements that challenge the status quo. In our study, we seek to clarify these conceptual issues with the idea of influence in digital politics and develop a framework to understand its institutional impact, particularly in the Global South. Taking two prominent movements, #BlackLivesMatter, which was successful in changing the state's policy on racism, and #AntiCAA in India, a similar movement that achieved less success, we develop a comparative framework that can be applied to understand the limits of digital influence in the Global South. Highlighting the difference in their institutional contexts, we show that digital influence emerges not only in terms of its positive impact but also in the negative impact it can have when the state and its institution seek to counter the protests.
The usefulness of a nasopharyngeal multiplex polymerase chain reaction system to screen pediatric patients with preoperative fever
Authors: Sueda Aya , Otake Shogo , Kasai Masashi , Kagawa Tetsuro 
Published: March 2023

AbstractBackgroundWhen children have a preoperative fever, anesthesiologists must help determine whether to postpone or proceed with surgery, as fever may be a sign of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). Such infections are a known risk factor for perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs), which are still one of the prime causes of anesthetic mortality and morbidity in pediatric patients. Since the COVID‐19 pandemic, preoperative assessments have become drastically more complex as hospitals strive to balance practicality and safety. In our facility, if pediatric patients presented with preoperative fever, we used the FilmArray® Respiratory Panel 2.1 to determine whether to postpone or proceed with surgery.MethodsThis is a single‐center retrospective observational study evaluating the efficacy of the FilmArray® Respiratory Panel 2.1 as a preoperative screening test. This study included pediatric patients scheduled for elective surgeries between March 2021 and February 2022. FilmArray was used if a patient had a preoperative fever (determined by axillary temperature, ≥38°C for <1‐year‐old, ≥37.5°C for ≥1‐year‐old) between hospital admission and before surgery. We excluded patients if they had apparent symptoms of URTI.ResultsIn the FilmArray positive group, 11 of 25 (44%) cases developed subsequent symptoms after surgery was canceled. No patients in the negative group developed symptoms. The proportion of the development of subsequent symptoms between the FilmArray positive and negative groups was statistically significant (p < .001, odds ratio: 29.6, 95% confidence interval: [3.80–1356.01]).ConclusionsOur retrospective observational study revealed that 44% of the FilmArray positive group subsequently developed symptoms, and no PRAEs were observed in the FilmArray negative group. We suggest that FilmArray could be useful as a screening test for pediatric patients with preoperative fever.

Published: March 2023

AbstractBackground and AimsSocio‐cultural (gender) and biological (sex)‐based differences contribute to psychostimulant susceptibility, potentially affecting treatment responsiveness among women with methamphetamine use disorder (MUD). The aims were to measure (i) how women with MUD independently and compared with men respond to treatment versus placebo and (ii) among women, how the hormonal method of contraception (HMC) affects treatment responsiveness.DesignThis was a secondary analysis of ADAPT‐2, a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, multicenter, two‐stage sequential parallel comparison design trial.SettingUnited States.ParticipantsThis study comprised 126 women (403 total participants); average age = 40.1 years (standard deviation = 9.6) with moderate to severe MUD.InterventionsInterventions were combination intramuscular naltrexone (380 mg/3 weeks) and oral bupropion (450 mg daily) versus placebo.MeasurementsTreatment response was measured using a minimum of three of four negative methamphetamine urine drug tests during the last 2 weeks of each stage; treatment effect was the difference between weighted treatment responses of each stage.FindingsAt baseline, women used methamphetamine intravenously fewer days than men [15.4 versus 23.1% days, P = 0.050, difference = −7.7, 95% confidence interval (CI) = −15.0 to −0.3] and more women than men had anxiety (59.5 versus 47.6%, P = 0.027, difference = 11.9%, 95% CI = 1.5 to 22.3%). Of 113 (89.7%) women capable of pregnancy, 31 (27.4%) used HMC. In Stage 1 29% and Stage 2 5.6% of women on treatment had a response compared with 3.2% and 0% on placebo, respectively. A treatment effect was found independently for females and males (P < 0.001); with no between‐gender treatment effect (0.144 females versus 0.100 males; P = 0.363, difference = 0.044, 95% CI = −0.050 to 0.137). Treatment effect did not differ by HMC use (0.156 HMC versus 0.128 none; P = 0.769, difference = 0.028, 95% CI −0.157 to 0.212).ConclusionsWomen with methamphetamine use disorder receiving combined intramuscular naltrexone and oral bupropion treatment achieve greater treatment response than placebo. Treatment effect does not differ by HMC.

AbstractChina has diversified resources of indigenous cattle, which are classified into Northern, Central, and Southern groups according to their geographical distribution. Chaling cattle belong to Southern group. This breed is famous for the production of good quality meat with elite meat grades. To analyze the genetic diversity of Chaling cattle, 20 samples were sequenced using whole‐genome resequencing technology, along with 138 published whole‐genome sequencing data of Indian indicine cattle, Chinese indicine cattle, East Asian taurine cattle, Eurasian taurine cattle, and European taurine cattle as control. It was found that Chaling cattle originated from Chinese indicine cattle. The genetic diversity of Chaling cattle is higher than that of Indian indicine cattle, East Asian taurine cattle, Eurasian taurine cattle, and European taurine cattle, but lower than that of Chinese indicine cattle and Xiangxi cattle. Annotating the selection signals obtained by composite likelihood ratio, θπ, FST, π‐ratio, and XP‐EHH methods, several genes associated with immunity, heat tolerance, reproduction, growth, and meat quality showed strong selection signals. In general, this study provides a theoretical basis for analyzing the genetic mechanism of Chaling cattle with excellent adaptability, rough feeding tolerance, good immune performance, and good meat quality. This work lays a foundation for genetic breeding of Chaling cattle in future.

Published: March 2023

AbstractBackgroundFor patients undergoing radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection for urothelial cancer, a lymph node count of at least 16 is associated with improved cancer‐specific and overall survival. Lymph node yield is presumed to relate directly to extent of dissection and surgical quality, however limited studies have reviewed the impact of the pathological assessment process of lymph nodes on lymph node yield.MethodA retrospective assessment of 139 patients who had radical cystectomy for urothelial cancer between March 2015 and July 2021 from Fiona Stanley Hospital (Perth, Australia) by a single surgeon was assessed. A change in pathological assessment process from assessment of only palpable lymph nodes to microscopic assessment of the entire submitted specimens occurred in August 2018. Patients were divided into two groups accordingly and other relevant demographic and pathological data was recorded. The impact of pathological processing technique on lymph node yield was assessed using the Student T test and logistical regression was used to assess the impact of other demographic variables.ResultsThe mean lymph node yield was 16.2 nodes (IQR 12–23) in 54 patients in the pre‐process change group compared to 22.4 nodes (IQR 15–28.4) in 85 patients in the post‐process change group (P < 0.0001). 53.7% had 16 or more nodes in the pre‐process change group compared to 71.3% in the post‐process change group (P = 0.04). Age, BMI, and gender were not significant predictors of lymph node yield.ConclusionThe current study demonstrates that the microscopic assessment of all lymph node tissue detects significantly more lymph nodes than only examining palpably abnormal tissue. Pathologic assessment protocols should be standardized to this technique to ensure the utility of lymph node yield as a quality metric.

Published: March 2023

AbstractAimThis study investigated febrile children with petechial rashes who presented to European emergency departments (EDs) and investigated the role that mechanical causes played in diagnoses.MethodsConsecutive patients with fever presenting to EDs in 11 European emergency departments in 2017–2018 were enrolled. The cause and focus of infection were identified and a detailed analysis was performed on children with petechial rashes. The results are presented as odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).ResultsWe found that 453/34010 (1.3%) febrile children had petechial rashes. The focus of the infection included sepsis (10/453, 2.2%) and meningitis (14/453, 3.1%). Children with a petechial rash were more likely than other febrile children to have sepsis or meningitis (OR 8.5, 95% CI 5.3–13.1) and bacterial infections (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.0–1.8) as well as need for immediate life‐saving interventions (OR 6.6, 95% CI 4.4–9.5) and intensive care unit admissions (OR 6.5, 95% CI 3.0–12.5).ConclusionThe combination of fever and petechial rash is still an important warning sign for childhood sepsis and meningitis. Ruling out coughing and/or vomiting was insufficient to safely identify low‐risk patients.
