Why might psychopathy develop? Beyond a protective function: a commentary on Zara et al. (2023)
Authors: Brazil Kristopher J. 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
Zara et al. (2023) provide novel findings into how psychopathy may develop, showing that early life predictors of poor relationships (e.g. being unwanted before birth) are predictive of psychopathy in adulthood. The authors provide a theoretical interpretation of why psychopathy might develop based on these findings by using an adaptive perspective, suggesting that psychopathy may protect or shield individuals from poor relationships. This commentary aims to critically evaluate and extend this latter suggestion in hopes of fostering further research and clarity on the topic.

Design/methodology/approach
After presenting an overview of evolutionary perspectives, a summary and elaboration are presented of the interpretation that psychopathy may be an adaptive response that functions to protect individuals from poor relationships. Then, an additional adaptive interpretation is offered.

Findings
Psychopathy describes a collection of traits and behavior that facilitates an approach-oriented and exploitative motivational style that might suggest more than a protective function. When negative or poor relationships are experienced (e.g. being unwanted), it is suggested that psychopathy may begin to develop not just for protection (If I am not loved, I will shield myself from those around me) but to actively orient toward exploitation (If I am not loved, I will exploit those around me).

Originality/value
This commentary hopes to arouse further interest into the theoretical interpretations of why psychopathy may develop that are based on findings of how psychopathy develops. These considerations are consequential for understanding what to target in treatments that aim to meet the specific needs and motivations of individuals with psychopathic traits.

An artificial neural network (ANN) approach for early cost estimation of concrete bridge systems in developing countries: the case of Sri Lanka
Authors: Fernando Nirodha , T.A. Kasun Dilshan , Zhang Hexin (Johnson) 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
The Government’s investment in infrastructure projects is considerably high, especially in bridge construction projects. Government authorities must establish an initial forecasted budget to have transparency in transactions. Early cost estimating is challenging for Quantity Surveyors due to incomplete project details at the initial stage and the unavailability of standard cost estimating techniques for bridge projects. To mitigate the difficulties in the traditional preliminary cost estimating methods, there is a requirement to develop a new initial cost estimating model which is accurate, user friendly and straightforward. The research was carried out in Sri Lanka, and this paper aims to develop the artificial neural network (ANN) model for an early cost estimate of concrete bridge systems.

Design/methodology/approach
The construction cost data of 30 concrete bridge projects which are in Sri Lanka constructed within the past ten years were trained and tested to develop an ANN cost model. Backpropagation technique was used to identify the number of hidden layers, iteration and momentum for optimum neural network architectures.

Findings
An ANN cost model was developed, furnishing the best result since it succeeded with around 90% validation accuracy. It created a cost estimation model for the public sector as an accurate, heuristic, flexible and efficient technique.

Originality/value
The research contributes to the current body of knowledge by providing the most accurate early-stage cost estimate for the concrete bridge systems in Sri Lanka. In addition, the research findings would be helpful for stakeholders and policymakers to propose policy recommendations that positively influence the prediction of the most accurate cost estimate for concrete bridge construction projects in Sri Lanka and other developing countries.
Role of institutional investors in reviving loss-making firms: evidence from India
Authors: Veeravel V. , Panda Pradiptarathi , Balakrishnan A. 
Published: June 2023

PurposeThe present study aims to verify whether there is a positive (negative) role being played by the institutional investors on the loss-making companies' performance.Design/methodology/approachThe authors employ panel data regression and two-step system generalised method of moments (SYS-GMM) to test the above objective.FindingsThe empirical results clearly show that no positive relation is found between institutional investors and loss-making companies' performance.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings of the study might have significant implications for firms to improve the firms' operational performance [return on assets (ROA)]. Also, the firm's financial performance [return on equity (ROE)] could be improved by increasing profitability which will reflect in the share prices of the firms whereby the performance can build the investors' confidence over the firm. Market performance (Tobin's Q) could be increased by providing more attractive offers and discounts to customers to capture the business opportunities available in the market.Practical implicationsThe overall findings might have for reaching implications in the manufacturing sector with regard to allowing (disallowing) institutional investors.Social implicationsThe results of the study may help both companies and institutional investors.Originality/valueThis is the maiden attempt to study whether loss-making companies could be positively (negatively) impacted by the arrival of sophisticated institutional investors [foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and domestic institutional investors (DIIs)]. Further, this study is largely different from previous studies in terms of using new variables which are related to firm characteristics and valuation multiples. Further, seeing if the institutional investors tend to enhance the firm performance is curious.
The impact of lean production on sustainable organizational performance: the moderating effect of industry 4.0 technologies adoption
Authors: Ooi Lyn Liq , Teh Sin Yin , Cheang Peck Yeng Sharon 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
A paradigm shift of industry revolution 4.0 is made possible by technological advances that constitute a reversal of conventional lean production (LP) processes. In addition, there is increasing pressure on the manufacturing industry to manage operations responsibly towards the environmental and social impact, on top of the economic. These have motivated the manufacturing industry to identify approaches to implementing LP to achieve sustainable organizational performance. Hence, this study aims to examine the moderating role of industry 4.0 technologies adoption in the relationship between LP and sustainable organizational performance.

Design/methodology/approach
This study proposed a research framework on the relationship between LP and sustainable organizational performance supported by LP theory and triple bottom line theory, with industry 4.0 technologies adoption as a moderator. A quantitative survey method was used in this study for data collection. The respondents in this study were middle or top management in manufacturing companies, including directors, managers, supervisors and coordinators. To investigate the demographic variables of respondents, descriptive statistics were generated by using IBM Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences. For measurement and structural model evaluations, partial least square structural equation modelling was used.

Findings
Based on the proposed research framework in this study, supplier feedback, just-in-time delivery, supplier development, customer involvement, pull system, continuous flow, set-up time reduction (STR), statistical process control, total productive maintenance (TPM) and employee involvement are the dimensions for LP. This study revealed that industry 4.0 technologies adoption positively moderated the relationships of five LP dimensions towards a sustainable organizational performance, namely, supplier feedback, supplier development, continuous flow, STR and TPM.

Originality/value
This study provided insights that would enable practitioners to better strategize the co-existence of LP and industry 4.0 technologies adoption in mutually supporting sustainable organizational performance (environmental, social and economic).
How socially responsible human resource management fosters work engagement: the role of perceived organizational support and affective organizational commitment
Authors: Pimenta Sara , Duarte Ana Patrícia , Simões Eduardo 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
In recent years, efforts to reinforce the links between corporate social responsibility and human resource management have highlighted employees’ role as crucial organizational stakeholders. This study aims to investigate whether workers’ perception of socially responsible human resource management (SR-HRM) based on employee-focused practices is related to work engagement (WE). This research also explored whether perceived organizational support (POS) and affective commitment (AC) can contribute to explaining this relationship. Social exchange theory and job demands-resources model were used to theoretically frame the research.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected from a sample of 222 employees working in diverse organizations, using individual online surveys. Several analyses were conducted to assure data robustness to common method bias.

Findings
The results confirm that SR-HRM fosters WE and that this effect is subject to sequential mediation by POS and AC. Accordingly, SR-HRM practices contribute to higher level of POS, which then foster stronger affective bonds with employers and, in turn, higher levels of vigor, absorption and dedication among workers.

Originality/value
The findings contribute to the expansion of the SR-HRM literature by providing a deeper understanding of how this management strategy affects employees’ job-related attitudes, particularly WE a much-overlooked variable in this realm.
Interfacial behavior and mechanism of brazed diamond with CeO2-added Ni-Cr filler alloy: a combined first-principles and experimental study
Authors: Zhang Ao , Zhang Jian , Zhang Mingjun , Liu Junyi , Peng Ping 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the effect and mechanism of O atom single doping, Ce and O atoms co-doping on the interfacial microscopic behavior of brazed Ni-Cr/diamond.

Design/methodology/approach
Using first-principles calculations, the embedding energy, work of separation, interfacial energy and electronic structures of Ni-Cr-O/diamond and Ni-Cr-O-Ce/diamond interface models were calculated. Then, the effect of Ce and O co-doping was experimentally verified through brazed diamond with CeO2-added Ni-Cr filler alloy.

Findings
The results show that O single-doping reduces the interfacial bonding strength between Ni-Cr filler alloy and diamond but enhances its interfacial stability to some extent. However, the Ce and O co-doping simultaneously enhances the interfacial bonding strength and stability between Ni-Cr filler alloy and diamond. The in-situ formed Ce-O oxide at interface impedes the direct contact between diamond and Ni-Cr filler alloy, which weakens the catalytic effect of Ni element on diamond graphitization. It is experimentally found that the fine rod-shaped Cr3C2 and Cr7C3 carbides are generated on diamond surface brazed with CeO2-added Ni-Cr filler alloy. After grinding, the brazed diamond grits, brazed with CeO2-added Ni-Cr filler alloy, present few fracture and the percentage of intact diamond reaches 67.8%. Compared to pure Ni-Cr filler alloy, the brazed diamond with CeO2-added Ni-Cr filler alloy exhibit the better wear resistance and the slighter thermal damage.

Originality/value
Using first-principles calculations, the effect of Ce and O atoms co-doping on the brazed diamond with Ni-Cr filler alloy is investigated, and the calculation results are verified experimentally. Through the first-principles calculations, the interface behavior and reaction mechanism between diamond and filler alloy can be well disclosed, and the composition of filler alloy can be optimized, which will be beneficial for synergistically realizing the enhanced interface bonding and reduced thermal damage of brazed diamond.

Published: June 2023

AbstractMicrowaves are electromagnetic waves of specific frequencies (300 MHz–3000 GHz), whereas ultrasonic is mechanical waves of specific frequencies. Microwave and ultrasonic technology as a new processing method has been widely used in food processing fields. Combined ultrasonic and microwave technology is exploited by researchers as an improvement technique and has been successfully applied in food processing such as thawing, drying, frying, extraction, and sterilization. This paper overviews the principle and characteristics of ultrasonic‐ and microwave‐assisted food processing techniques, particularly their combinations, design of equipment, and their applications in the processing of agricultural products such as thawing, drying, frying, extraction, and sterilization. The combination of ultrasonic and microwave is applied in food processing, where microwave enhances the heating rate, and ultrasonic improves the efficiency of heat and mass transfer. The synergy of the heating effect of microwave and the cavitation effect of ultrasonic improves processing efficiency and damages the cell structure of the material. The degradation of nutrient composition and energy consumption due to the short processing time of combined ultrasonic and microwave technology is decreased. Ultrasonic technology, as an auxiliary means of efficient microwave heating, is pollution‐free, highly efficient, and has a wide range of applications in food processing.

Published: June 2023

AbstractGlobal food production is anticipated to rise along with the growth of the global population. As a result, creative solutions must be devised to ensure that everyone has access to nutritious, affordable, and safe food. Consequently, including insects in diets has the potential to improve global food and nutrition security. This paper aims to share recent findings by covering edible termites as the main aspect, from their consumption record until consumer acceptance. A total of 53 termite species are reported as edible ones and distributed in 6 biogeographic realms. Generally, termites have a nutrient composition that is suitable for human consumption, and cooked termites are a better dietary choice than their raw counterparts. Besides, increasing customer interest in eating termite‐based food can be achieved by making it more palatable and tastier through various cooking processes, that is, boiling, frying, grilling, roasting, smoking, and sun‐drying. Moreover, edible termites can also be used as a new source of medication by exhibiting antimicrobial activity. Regarding their advantages, it is strongly encouraged to implement a seminatural rearing system to sustain the supply of edible termites. Overall, this paper makes it evident that termites are an important natural resource for food or medicine. Hence, the long‐term objective is to stimulate scientific inquiry into the potential of edible insects as an answer to the problem of global food security.
Variation in Bombyx mori immune response against fungal pathogen Beauveria bassiana with variability in cell wall β‐1,3‐glucan

Published: June 2023

AbstractEntomopathogenic fungi are protected by a cell wall with dynamic structure for adapting to various environmental conditions. β‐1,3‐Glucan recognition proteins activate the innate immune system of insects by recognizing surface molecules of fungi. However, the associations between pathogenicity and the different components of entomopathogenic fungal cell walls remain unclear. Three Beauveria bassiana strains were selected that have significantly differing virulence against Bombyx mori. The molecular mechanisms underlying the immune response in B. mori were investigated using RNA sequencing, which revealed differences in the immune response to different B. bassiana strains at 12 h post‐infection. Immunofluorescence assays revealed that β‐1,3‐glucan content had an opposite trend to that of fungal virulence. β‐1,3‐Glucan injection upregulated BmβGRP4 expression and significantly reduced the virulence of the high‐virulence strain but not that of the medium‐virulence or low‐virulence strains. BmβGRP4 silencing in B. mori with RNA interference resulted in the opposite virulence pattern, indicating that the virulence of B. bassiana was affected by the cell walls’ content of β‐1,3‐glucan, which could be recognized by BmβGRP4. Furthermore, interference with the gene CnA (calcineurin catalytic A subunit) involved in β‐1,3‐glucan synthesis eliminated differences in virulence between B. bassiana strains. These results indicate that strains of a single species of pathogenic fungi that have differing cell wall components are recognized differently by the innate immune system of B. mori.

Published: June 2023

AbstractBackgroundPeripheral blocks are increasingly used for analgesia after video‐assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). We hypothesised that addition of sufentanil and adrenaline to levobupivacaine would improve the analgesic effect of a continuous extrapleural block.MethodsWe randomised 60 patients undergoing VATS to a 5‐mL h−1 extrapleural infusion of levobupivacaine at 2.7 mg mL−1 (LB group) or levobupivacaine at 1.25 mg mL−1, sufentanil at 0.5 μg mL−1, and adrenaline at 2 μg mL−1 (LBSA group). The primary outcome was the cumulative morphine dose administered as patient‐controlled analgesia (PCA‐morphine) at 48 and 72 h. The secondary outcomes were pain according to numerical rating scale (NRS) at rest and after two deep breaths twice daily, peak expiratory flow (PEF) daily, quality of recovery (QoR)‐15 score at 1 day and 3 weeks postoperatively, serum levobupivacaine concentrations at 1 h after the start and at the end of the intervention, and adverse events.ResultsAt 48 h, the median cumulative PCA‐morphine dose for the LB group was 6 mg (IQR, 2–10 mg) and for the LBSA group 7 mg (IQR, 3–13.5 mg; p = .378). At 72 h, morphine doses were 10 mg (IQR, 3–22 mg) and 12.5 mg (IQR, 4–21 mg; p = .738), respectively. Median NRS score at rest and after two deep breaths was 3 or lower at all time points for both treatment groups. PEF did not differ between groups. Three weeks postoperatively, only the LB group returned to baseline QoR‐15 score. The LB group had higher, but well below toxic, levobupivacaine concentrations at 48 and 72 h. The incidence of nausea, dizziness, pruritus and headache was equally low overall.ConclusionFor a continuous extrapleural block, and compared to plain levobupivacaine at 13.5 mg h−1, levobupivacaine at 6.25 mg h−1 with addition of sufentanil and adrenaline did not decrease postoperative morphine consumption. The levobupivacaine serum concentrations after 48 and 72 h of infusion were well below toxic levels, therefore our findings support the use of the maximally recommended dose of levobupivacaine for a 2‐ to 3‐day continuous extrapleural block.

AbstractThe study of age‐related biomarkers from different biofluids and tissues within the same individual might provide a more comprehensive understanding of age‐related changes within and between compartments as these changes are likely highly interconnected. Understanding age‐related differences by compartments may shed light on the mechanism of their reciprocal interactions, which may contribute to the phenotypic manifestations of aging. To study such possible interactions, we carried out a targeted metabolomic analysis of plasma, skeletal muscle, and urine collected from healthy participants, age 22–92 years, and identified 92, 34, and 35 age‐associated metabolites, respectively. The metabolic pathways that were identified across compartments included inflammation and cellular senescence, microbial metabolism, mitochondrial health, sphingolipid metabolism, lysosomal membrane permeabilization, vascular aging, and kidney function.
How impact investing firms use reference frameworks to manage their impact performance: An industry‐level study
Authors: Islam Syrus M. , Habib Ahsan 
Published: June 2023

AbstractUsing meaning‐oriented content analysis, we show how impact investing firms use various reference frameworks (e.g., International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards, Impact Management Project framework, UN Sustainable Development Goals) to manage their impact performance throughout the investment lifecycle. Our study provides an industry‐level picture of the various roles that different reference frameworks play to help impact investors attain their impact goals. We also discuss the potential industry effects on management accounting practice, that is, how reference frameworks used in performance management in the impact investing industry differ from those used in some other industries.
