Artificial intelligence (AI) in FinTech decisions: the role of congruity and rejection sensitivity
Authors: Gonçalves Ana Rita , Breda Meira Amanda , Shuqair Saleh , Costa Pinto Diego 
Published: May 2023

PurposeThe digital revolution has changed consumer–service provider interaction, spawning a new generation of FinTech. This paper analyzes consumers' reactions to artificial intelligence (AI) (vs human) decisions.Design/methodology/approachThe authors tested their predictions by conducting two experimental studies with FinTech consumers (n = 503).FindingsThe results reveal that consumers' responses to AI (vs human) credit decisions depend on the type of credit product. For personal loans, the rejection by an AI provider triggers higher levels of satisfaction compared to a credit analyst. This effect is explained via the perceived role congruity. In addition, the findings reveal that consumers’ rejection sensitivity determines how they perceive financial services role congruity.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this research is the first to jointly examine AI (vs human) credit decisions in FinTech and role congruity, extending prior research in the field.
Well-being and performance at work: a new approach favourable to the optimal functioning of workers through virtuous organisational practices
Authors: Aubouin-Bonnaventure Julia , Chevalier Séverine , Lahiani Fadi-Joseph , Fouquereau Evelyne 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
The post-COVID-19 era is characterised in the professional field by a deterioration in the psychological health of employees and by “The Great Resignation”. These phenomena require managers to rethink both organisational and HR strategies to protect their workers’ health, to retain them in their job and, in fine, to ensure the sustainability of the organisation. However, studies have demonstrated that high performance work systems (HPWS), which are currently the dominant approach in human resource management, are related to an intensification of work and consequently a deterioration of employees’ health (conflicting outcomes perspective). At the same time, workers’ well-being has been shown to be associated with numerous organisational outcomes, such as individual performance. However, relatively few articles have investigated win–win organisational practices or programmes that promote the well-being and consequently performance of workers. These include virtuous organisational practices (VOPs), which specifically aim to enhance employees’ well-being, considered not as a means to an end, but as an end in itself (mutual gains perspective). This paper aims to develop the general hypothesis that VOPs could increase employees’ performance by protecting their health and thus offer an alternative to HPWS.

Design/methodology/approach
We review relevant current research on psychological well-being and work performance and present innovative systems of organisational practices such as VOPs that create psychologically healthy workplaces and enhance workers’ optimal functioning (well-being and performance).

Findings
Based on theoretical arguments and empirical studies, we hypothesise that alternative practices such as VOPs can increase employees’ performance while protecting their health and encouraging them to stay in the organisation.

Research limitations/implications
After this review, we discuss future avenues for research to encourage the scientific community to test this hypothesis.

Practical implications
Finally, we make a number of specific recommendations about how to (1) appraise, design and implement VOPs, (2) enhance organisational communication and managerial adherence to VOPs, and (3) train managers in R.I.G.H.T leadership behaviours.

Originality/value
Presentation of an original approach in this research field: the VOPs.
Does workplace digitalization matter in linking transformational leadership and innovative culture to employee engagement?
Authors: Hooi Lai Wan , Chan Ai Joo 
Published: May 2023

PurposeEngaged employees are an organization’s competitive advantage because the employees are willing to strive for organizational excellence. This paper examines employee engagement (EE), taking workplace digitalization as the mediator. The authors developed an integrated framework introducing transformational leadership and innovative culture as EE antecedents in workplace digitalization settings. Specifically, the authors argue that transformational leadership and innovative culture influence EE directly and indirectly through workplace digitalization.Design/methodology/approachA total of 256 valid online-survey samples were used in the structural equation modeling (SEM) tests. The respondents were the management-level executives of Selangor/Kuala Lumpur-based Malaysian companies.FindingsThe authors' findings support that workplace digitalization positively influences EE. Unlike transformational leadership, innovative culture positively influences workplace digitalization. Further, innovative culture directly affects EE and indirectly through workplace digitalization, albeit partially. Transformational leadership directly influences EE but is insignificant through workplace digitalization.Practical implicationsThe findings suggest that organizations that wish to fast-track EE can cultivate an innovative culture to facilitate employees' acceptance of workplace digitalization and enhance EE.Originality/valueThe authors' research expands the interdisciplinary theoretical foundation on how employees' perception and acceptance of workplace digitalization add to EE by highlighting the roles of transformational leaders and innovative culture. The authors' research is among the first few investigating how transformational leadership and innovative culture affect EE in the presence of workplace digitalization. The authors also discussed workplace digitalization as a mediator to innovative culture–EE relationships.

Published: May 2023

PurposeSupply chain resilience and knowledge management (KM) processes have received increasing attention from researchers and practitioners. Nevertheless, previous studies often treat the two streams of literature independently. Drawing on the knowledge-based theory, this study aims to reconcile these two different streams of literature and examine how and when KM processes influence supply chain resilience.Design/methodology/approachThis research develops a conceptual model to test a sample of data from 203 Chinese manufacturing firms using a structural equation modeling method. Specifically, the current study empirically examines how KM processes affect different forms of supply chain resilience (supply chain readiness, responsiveness and recovery) and examines the moderating effect of blockchain technology adaptation and organizational inertia on the relationship between KM processes and supply chain resilience.FindingsThe findings show that KM processes positively affect three dimensions of supply chain resilience, i.e., supply chain readiness, responsiveness and recovery. Besides, the study reveals that blockchain technology adoption positively moderates the relationships between KM processes and supply chain resilience, whereas organizational inertia negatively moderates these above relationships.Originality/valueThis research linked the two research areas of supply chain resilience and KM processes, further bridging the gap in the research exploration of KM in the supply chain field. Next, this study contributes to supply chain resilience research by investigating how KM systems positively impact supply chain readiness, responsiveness and recovery. In addition, this study found a moderating effect of blockchain technology adaption and organizational inertia on the relationship between KM processes and supply chain resilience. These findings provide a reference for Chinese manufacturing firms to strengthen supply chain resilience, achieve secure supply chain operations and gain a competitive advantage in the supply chain. This studys’findings advance the understanding of supply chain resilience and provide practical implications for supply chain managers.

Published: May 2023

PurposeThis study analyzes the effect of content marketing on women's happiness through eudaimonia and hedonism factors and the final result on desires and actions taken.Design/methodology/approachA total of 227 valid questionnaires were collected from women respondents. The data analysis used partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to clarify the relationships in the proposed model.FindingsContent marketing turns out to be a crucial factor affecting both eudaimonia and hedonism. Moreover, while eudaimonia plays a particular role in women's behavior, hedonism works likewise on desires.Practical implicationsA crucial decision before developing content marketing is to consider if the final result is to produce desirability or feasibility in consumers. Content marketing addressing eudaimonia will impact feasibility; while the content aims to create desirability, the hedonic aspect of happiness should be emphasized.Originality/valueThough content marketing and the effect of content marketing on brands' performance and consumer decision processes has been deeply analyzed in the literature, there is a lack of research into the effect of such content on consumers' well-being. Another contribution of this study is the focus on local brands and on women's eudaimonia and hedonism.
Talk or something more? COVID-19 and youth discourses of participation
Authors: Szabó Andrea , Déri András 
Published: May 2023

PurposePolitical participation of young people has been examined, but there is a lack of research about how these participation forms are interpreted and what counts as participation for young people. The study aims to identify discourses of political participation in Hungary, where the COVID-19 restrictions during 2020–2021 have confined young people's everyday interactions and political activism to the online space for an extended period. The authors’ asteroid-effect hypothesis suggests that new discourses of political participation have become more widespread, which may have reinterpreted the previous dynamics between online and offline participation.Design/methodology/approachThe authors analyse the results of six focus groups and eight interviews with young people conducted between 2021–2022 through discourse analysis.FindingsThe qualitative results show that to intellectualise the everyday discourses of youth political participation, extending its classical theories is worthwhile. While online participation has not emerged as a paramount, positive interpretational framework, a new discourse of political participation has emerged, making conversation a fundamental act.Originality/valueWhile the results are limited to Hungarian youth, the strong appearance of participation as a communicative action can have consequences to theoretical approaches of political participation. The authors believe that COVID-19 restrictions had a significant role in this change, because family talks became more politicised.
Coming of age in your local mating market: Just a numbers game?
Authors: Bowers E. Keith 
Published: May 2023

AbstractResearch Highlight: Woodman, J. P., Cole, E. F., Firth, J. A., Perrins, C. M., & Sheldon, B. C. (2022). Disentangling the causes of age‐assortative mating in bird populations with contrasting life‐history strategies. Journal of Animal Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365‐2656.13851. In their study of age‐assortative mating, Woodman and colleagues thoroughly and concisely detail its behavioural determinants using datasets, astonishing in themselves, amassed from their decades‐long studies of mute swans (Cygnus olor) and great tits (Parus major), species that are respectively longer‐ and shorter‐lived and occupying different segments of the slow/fast life‐history continuum. Here, they show that positive age‐assortative mating occurs through active, age‐based mate selection in mute swans which play the long game, whereas in the shorter‐lived great tit this is principally a passive byproduct of demographic processes. That great tits have relatively lower interannual survivorship means that newly recruited, young birds occupy a larger proportion of the breeding population in any given year than occurs in mute swans. The adaptive significance of age‐assortative mating is yet to be determined, but the current study provides an exciting possibility for the role of selection on assortative mating generally in either promoting or constraining active mate selection and sexual dimorphism within and across the tree of life.

AbstractPurposeTo compare functional and clinical variables of women with fibromyalgia (American College of Rheumatology [ACR] criteria) vs women diagnosed by doctors and women with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).MethodsThis is a cross‐sectional study. We used clinical measures, namely, Widespread Pain Index (WPI), Symptom Severity Scale (SSS), Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire‐Revised (FIQ‐R), Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI), Pain‐Related Catastrophizing Thoughts Scale (PCTS), and functional measures, such as Sit‐to‐Stand (STS) test, and Timed Up and Go (TUG) test.ResultsThe sample consisted of 91 participants divided into 3 groups: participants with KOA (n = 30), fibromyalgia diagnosed according to the ACR (FM‐ACR, n = 31), and fibromyalgia according to the medical diagnosis (FM‐Med, n = 30). In the comparisons, we observed a significant difference (P < 0.05) and a large effect size (d ≥ 0.8), between all groups, in the WPI, WPI + SSS, FIQ‐R domains, CSI, and PCTS. We did not observe significant values in the correlations between the clinical variables, SST, and TUG test.ConclusionPeople with fibromyalgia according, to the ACR, have higher levels of widespread pain, symptom severity, global impact on quality of life, central sensitization, and catastrophizing compared with people with knee OA and people with clinical fibromyalgia diagnosis not confirmed by the ACR diagnostic criteria.

AbstractCaloric restriction (CR) can prolong life and ameliorate age‐related diseases; thus, its molecular basis might provide new insights for finding biomarker and intervention for aging and age‐related disease. Glycosylation is an important post‐translational modification, which can timely reflect the changes of intracellular state. Serum N‐glycosylation was found changed with aging in humans and mice. CR is widely accepted as an effective anti‐aging intervention in mice and could affect mouse serum fucosylated N‐glycans. However, the effect of CR on the level of global N‐glycans remains unknown. In order to explore whether CR affect the level of global N‐glycans, we performed a comprehensive serum glycome profiling in mice of 30% calorie restriction group and ad libitum group at 7 time points across 60 weeks by MALDI‐TOF‐MS. At each time point, the majority of glycans, including galactosylated and high mannose glycans, showed a consistent low level in CR group. Interestingly, O‐acetylated sialoglycans presented an upward change different from other derived traits, which is mainly reflected in two biantennary α2,6‐linked sialoglycans (H5N4Ge2Ac1, H5N4Ge2Ac2). Liver transcriptome analysis further revealed a decreased transcriptional level of genes involved in N‐glycan biosynthesis while increased level of acetyl‐CoA production. This finding is consistent with changes in serum N‐glycans and O‐acetylated sialic acids. Therefore, we provided one possible molecular basis for the beneficial effect of CR from N‐glycosylation perspective.

AbstractBackground and AimsTreatments for cannabis use disorder (CUD) have limited efficacy and little is known about who responds to existing treatments. Accurately predicting who will respond to treatment can improve clinical decision‐making by allowing clinicians to offer the most appropriate level and type of care. This study aimed to determine whether multivariable/machine learning models can be used to classify CUD treatment responders versus non‐responders.MethodsThis secondary analysis used data from a National Drug Abuse Treatment Clinical Trials Network multi‐site outpatient clinical trial in the United States. Adults with CUD (n = 302) received 12 weeks of contingency management, brief cessation counseling and were randomized to receive additionally either (1) N‐Acetylcysteine or (2) placebo. Multivariable/machine learning models were used to classify treatment responders (i.e. two consecutive negative urine cannabinoid tests or a 50% reduction in days of use) versus non‐responders using baseline demographic, medical, psychiatric and substance use information.ResultsPrediction performance for various machine learning and regression prediction models yielded area under the curves (AUCs) >0.70 for four models (0.72–0.77), with support vector machine models having the highest overall accuracy (73%; 95% CI = 68–78%) and AUC (0.77; 95% CI = 0.72, 0.83). Fourteen variables were retained in at least three of four top models, including demographic (ethnicity, education), medical (diastolic/systolic blood pressure, overall health, neurological diagnosis), psychiatric (depressive symptoms, generalized anxiety disorder, antisocial personality disorder) and substance use (tobacco smoker, baseline cannabinoid level, amphetamine use, age of experimentation with other substances, cannabis withdrawal intensity) characteristics.ConclusionsMultivariable/machine learning models can improve on chance prediction of treatment response to outpatient cannabis use disorder treatment, although further improvements in prediction performance are likely necessary for decisions about clinical care.
Pyridostigmine in chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction – a systematic review
Authors: Wilkie Bruce D , Noori Jawed , Johnston Michael , Woods Rodney , Keck James O. , Behrenbruch Corina 
Published: May 2023

AbstractBackgroundChronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (CIPO) may be a primary or secondary phenomenon and is often multifactorial. Treatment is largely directed at improving colonic motility. The use of cholinesterase inhibitors such as pyridostigmine has been hypothesized to increase acetylcholine in the bowel, improving symptoms and transit times.MethodsA systematic review of the use of pyridostigmine in CIPO was conducted using scientific and commercial search engines identifying scientific studies enrolling adult human subjects, published from 2000 to 2022 in the English language.ResultsFour studies were identified including two randomized controlled trials (RCT) and two observational studies. The studies had heterogenous inclusion criteria, dosing regimens and reported outcomes. Two studies were identified as being at high risk of bias. All studies reported improved patient outcomes with use of pyridostigmine, and low rates (4.3%) of mild cholinergic side effects. No major side effects were reported.ConclusionThe use of pyridostigmine in management of CIPO is biologically plausible due to its ability to increase colonic motility, and early studies on its role are uniformly suggestive of benefit with low side‐effect profile. Four clinical studies have been conducted to date, with small sample sizes, heterogeneity and high risk of bias. Further high‐quality studies are required to enable assessment of pyridostigmine's utility as an effective management strategy in CIPO.
Tetrahedral framework nucleic acid loaded with glabridin: A transdermal delivery system applicated to anti‐hyperpigmentation

AbstractTopical application of tyrosinase inhibitors, such as hydroquinone and arbutin, is the most common clinical treatment for hyperpigmentation. Glabridin (Gla) is a natural isoflavone that inhibits tyrosinase activity, free radical scavenging, and antioxidation. However, its water solubility is poor, and it cannot pass through the human skin barrier alone. Tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (tFNA), a new type of DNA biomaterial, can penetrate cells and tissues and can be used as carriers to deliver small‐molecule drugs, polypeptides, and oligonucleotides. This study aimed to develop a compound drug system using tFNA as the carrier to transport Gla and deliver it through the skin to treat pigmentation. Furthermore, we aimed to explore whether tFNA–Gla can effectively alleviate the hyperpigmentation caused by increased melanin production and determine whether tFNA–Gla exerts substantial synergistic effects during treatment. Our results showed that the developed system successfully treated pigmentation by inhibiting regulatory proteins related to melanin production. Furthermore, our findings showed that the system was effective in treating epidermal and superficial dermal diseases. The tFNA‐based transdermal drug delivery system can thus develop into novel, effective options for non‐invasive drug delivery through the skin barrier.
