Masstige marketing: Addressing short‐term and long‐term happiness
Authors: Burhanudin Burhanudin 
Published: December 2022

AbstractConsumers must manage their experiences to achieve their goals. It is currently unclear how masstige products are involved in these experiences. This study experimentally examines the relationships between self‐control, self‐indulgence, intention to purchase a masstige product, and both short‐ and long‐term happiness. In total, 319 consumers participated in this experiment. This study compared four models addressing these relationships and concluded that a higher level of self‐control leads to a lower level of self‐indulgence and a weaker intention to purchase a masstige product. Additionally, a higher level of self‐indulgence leads to a stronger intention to purchase a masstige product. Finally, a higher level of short‐term happiness leads to a greater level of long‐term happiness and stronger intention to purchase a masstige product.

Published: December 2022

SummaryThree kinds of tea extracts (green tea extract, black tea extract and oolong tea extract) were incorporated into a dry yellow alkaline noodle (YAN) at a concentration of 0.5%–2.0% to investigate their effects on starch gelatinisation, gluten aggregation and noodle quality characteristics. Due to the starch–polyphenol interaction, the temperature and enthalpy required for starch gelatinisation were decreased by 0.90–1.10 °C and 2.85–3.31 J/g, respectively, when 2.0% tea extract was added compared with the control. Furthermore, the dry noodles showed lower starch pasting viscosities (reduced by 28.35%–55.20%) and increased resistance to breakdown and retrogradation. Through the hydrogen bonding between gliadins and tea polyphenols, the conformation of gluten was modified (15.41%–24.62% and 15.19%–22.95% increases in α‐helix and β‐sheet contents, respectively) and its structure was strengthened. The combined effect of tea extracts on starch gelatinisation and gluten formation behaviour resulted in the restricted water permeability and mobility in the structure of cooked noodles, which was associated with increased hardness (13.15–16.34 N), cohesiveness (0.63–0.69), chewiness (7.47–10.88) and resilience (0.34–0.42). It also decreased the absolute adhesiveness (0.11–0.13 N.sec) of cooked YANs. In the alkaline noodle system, three kinds of tea extracts exhibited similar effects on the quality characteristics of YAN. The results suggest that tea extracts are capable of improving YAN texture.

Published: December 2022

AbstractThis study evaluates the effect of nursing staff's renewed consistent pressure ulcer (PU) prevention practice on PU prevalence and the PU prevention implemented for residents. A quasi‐experimental intervention study was conducted. The data were collected from 232 residents (n = 115 in intervention and 117 in comparison group) in two public long‐term older people care (LOPC) facilities in Finland using the Pressure Ulcer Patient instrument (PUP‐Instrument). The facilities were chosen with convenience sampling, after which they were randomly allocated as either intervention or comparison facility. Based on international guidelines for PU prevention, the renewed, consistent PU prevention practice with six areas was developed and implemented using the operational model for evidence‐based practices (OMEBP). After the intervention, a significant difference between the intervention and the comparison facility was seen in the prevalence of PUs and in the residents’ highest stage of PUs in the sacrum, buttock and hip areas, and heels. Between the facilities, a significant difference was seen in the use of PU and nutrition risk assessment instruments and nutritional supplements, time used for repositioning in the daytime and at night‐time, lifting belt use, and avoiding shearing or stretching residents’ skin. The successful intervention improved skin integrity in LOPC facilities.
Degradation mechanism of near stoichiometric SiC fibers after air and Ar–H2O–O2corrosion at 1000–1500°C

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe near stoichiometric SiC fiber has been reported to play significant roles in the application of aeroengine field. An in‐depth understanding on the degradation mechanism of the fiber during its corrosion in air and under a simulated aeroengine environment (PH2O:PO2:PAr = 14:8:78 kPa) will shine a light on the performance evaluations of the near stoichiometric SiC fiber‐based materials as well as the development of their potential applications. In this study, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and FIB‐TEM were utilized to analyze the mechanical properties and microstructure of the fiber. After oxidation in dry air and Ar–H2O–O2for 1 h, respectively, the fiber strength retention rate has been found to decrease with the increased oxidation temperature. The raise in oxidation temperature also led to the increase of the thickness and the crystallization rate of the oxide scale. The most different oxidation behaviors of SiC being treated under the simulated environment than in air are the lower oxidation activation energy and the higher crystallization activation energy for cristobalite. Water vapor can promote the oxidation reaction and inhibit the crystallization of cristobalite in the oxide scale. Few significant differences have been observed otherwise in the oxidation process and oxidation chromatography crystallization mechanism of fibers being treated under different conditions. The increase of oxide layer thickness and the formation of cristobalite impair the structural integrity and compactness of the oxide scale and thus lead to the deterioration of the mechanical properties of SiC fibers. Therefore, it is proposed that oxidation resistance of SiC fiber can be improved by insulating the reaction between the oxidizing agents and the SiC fiber or by increasing the crystallization temperature of cristobalite in the oxidation process and reducing the crystallization rate.
Why have Madagascar's mammals, despite being closely‐related to African open‐habitat specialists, failed to radiate into open grasslands?
Authors: Joseph Grant S. , Seymour Colleen L. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractSeventy‐five percent of Madagascar is treeless C4‐grassland adapted to human‐lit fire, which likely succeeded pre‐human mosaics of forest, ericoids, grassy‐woodlands and some smaller treeless‐grasslands. In support of pre‐settlement Malagasy grasslands having evolved with many grassland specialist faunal elements, Bond et al. (2022) cite “considerable overlap” in African and Malagasy hippo diets, and suggest time‐scale hampered mammal radiation into treeless‐grasslands. We find, however, that faunal elements referenced are predominantly habitat generalists (not grassland specialists), that African and Malagasy hippos occupy significantly different feeding‐niches, and that despite shared Miocene timeframes, Malagasy non‐arboreal mammals remained forest‐adapted whilst species that share ancestry with them on the African mainland radiated into open habitats.

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe MNX1 gene encodes a homeobox transcription factor found to be important for pancreatic beta cell differentiation and development. Mutations of the MNX1 gene that cause permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM) are rare and have been reported in only two cases. Both cases presented with hyperglycemia, with one case having isolated PNDM while the other had PNDM and multiple neurologic, skeletal, lung, and urologic congenital anomalies resulting in death in early infancy. We describe the genetic and clinical features of a preterm male infant with a homozygous [c.816C > A p.(Phe272Leu)] MNX1 mutation. Our proband is the first case to present in severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), indicating severe insulin deficiency. Unlike the previously reported female case who had the same mutation and presented with isolated PNDM, our proband had hypospadias and congenital umbilical hernia and showed poor growth on follow up. Our case suggests that MNX1 mutations causing NDM can result in a range of extra‐pancreatic features and a variable phenotype, similar to other transcription factors causing NDM such as GATA6 and GATA4 mutations. We also cannot exclude the possibility of sex‐biased expression of MNX1 gene (which was recently reported for other monogenic/neonatal diabetes genes such as the NEUROD1 and HNF4A in humans) since the two male cases had associated multiple anomalies while the female case had isolated PNDM. Our report further defines the phenotype caused by recessive homozygous MNX1 mutations and explores potential new mechanisms regulating MNX1 gene expression which should be further explored.

Published: December 2022

AbstractRationale, Aims and ObjectivesWomen with previous gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are more than eight times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes (T2DM) compared to women without GDM. Annual follow‐up T2DM‐screening is recommended, but participation rates decrease rapidly after the first year. In the North Denmark Region, an electronic reminder has been tested with the aim of improving follow‐up care for women with prior GDM. The aim of this study was to explore women's perspectives on receiving an electronic reminder, and the role of reminders in both women's decision‐making and informed choice regarding participation in follow‐up screening.MethodsA qualitative process evaluation informed by a critical realistic perspective. Data consisted of 20 semi‐structured interviews with women previously diagnosed with GDM who had received the reminder. Interviews were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.ResultsThe reminder affected women's decision‐making and informed choices through a range of mechanisms. Its personalized design prompted feelings of co‐responsibility and care from the healthcare system, supported continuity in women's care pathways, and helped women bridge the gap between healthcare sectors. Women's perception of diabetes risk and the importance of follow‐up influenced their decision‐making. Participation in follow‐up screening was influenced by several contextual factors, as women's everyday life impeded their prioritizing follow‐up screening. Women who experienced being met by their general practitioner (GP) with acknowledgement rather than stigmatization and received supportive information tailored to their life situation were more motivated to participate in future follow‐up screenings.ConclusionThe reminder indicated both concern and co‐responsibility for women's follow‐up care after GDM and was well received by the women. It supported participation in follow‐up screening through an emphasis on shared decision‐making and informed choice. Women's interaction with their GP played a significant role.

Published: December 2022

AbstractThis investigation aims to develop a novel infrared drying system and optimization of ultrasound‐assisted osmotic dehydration of garlic slices. RSM and ANN approaches are used for modeling and optimization of the process parameters. The factors sonication time, sonication temperature, and osmotic concentration, were considered to optimize responses, that is, solid gain (SG), weight loss (WL), rehydration ratio (RR), drying rate (DR), and allicin content (AC). The ultrasonic time and osmotic concentration had significant effects on mass transfer parameters and the quality of dried garlic slices. The optimum drying conditions were found at an ultrasonic temperature: 20°C, ultrasound time: 28.54 min, and osmotic concentration: 55.58% while the optimum responses were WL: 25.839%, SG: 3.557%, RR: 7.512, DR: 0.163 (g H2O/g.dm/min), and AC: 15.229 (mg/g). The prediction of the responses revealed that both RSM and ANN approaches can predict the model precisely but the ANN models showed higher accuracy.Practical ApplicationsThe developed lab‐scale infrared drying system can be used for drying other food commodities. The optimum drying performance plays a very prominent role based on the drying parameters and the quality attributes of the osmo‐sonicated assisted infrared drying. Enhancement of the drying performance depends on various factors like pretreatment, and actual drying condition prior to optimization. This research showed that increased drying performance in terms of mass transfer and quality attributes and optimum process conditions will be applied to the intelligent process design for any drying optimization for further development of large‐scale drying systems.

AbstractIn this research, the effect of different parameters of a convective hot air dryer on the mass transfer coefficients of thin‐sliced pears in different drying stages is analytically and experimentally investigated. According to the results, in the first stage of drying which begins from the initial moisture content (MC) of 87–57% in this study, the convective heat transfer coefficient, the inlet air temperature and the initial MC of the product had the highest influence on the mass transfer rate of the drying product. In the second drying stage (from 57 to 27% MC), the structure of internal pore of the fruit, the internal MC and the thickness of the cut layers are the most influencing parameters controlling the mass transfer coefficient of the product. In the third region of drying (from MC of 27% to the final MC), the inlet air temperature had the greatest effect on the rate of mass transfer from the product. In this region of drying, increasing the drying temperature from 50 to 60°C at an airflow velocity of 0.5 m/s, yielded increasing the effective diffusion coefficient from 1.19 × 10−7 to 4.09 × 10−7 m/s2. The results of this study showed that increasing the airflow rate in the third stage of drying reduces the effective mass transfer coefficient. The highest effective diffusion coefficient in the third region of drying for thin‐sliced pears was obtained equal to 6.24 × 10−7 m/s2 for drying temperature of 80°C and airflow velocity of 0.5 m/s.Practical ApplicationsPears (Pyrus communis L.) are bell‐shaped fruits that are in the range of green, yellow, brown, red, or a combination of these colors. This useful fruit is rich in potassium, vitamins, and minerals. There are 30 varieties of pears in the world and they are consumed cooked, compote, or raw. The drying process of fruits and vegetables by reducing the moisture of the product, prevents chemical and biochemical spoilage of the product and increases their shelf life. However, some undesirable physical and chemical changes such as discoloration, texture, and nutritional value may also occur during drying, which reduces consumer acceptance. Drying operations usually take place in the final stages and after other operations and lead to the production of the final product.

AbstractWhey is the by‐product of cheese making which can be manipulated into edible films and coatings, it relies on its high viscosity, high hydrophobicity, and antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. In the present study, titanium‐based whey protein nanoparticles (WPNFs/TNPs) and whey protein isolates (WPI) were prepared and edible coatings and films were developed and characterized. The antimicrobial activity against common foodborne pathogens (S. aureus, E. coli, S. typhi, A. niger, P. expansum, and P. variotii) were conducted followed by their efficacy on six different chilled products analyzed on beef, chicken meat, mutton and fish meat, cheddar cheese and mozeralla cheese were selected for efficacy studies. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (Socaciu, Fogarasi et al.) revealed long and linear fibrils of WPNFs and with the addition of TNPs, the fibrils became denser. Fibril emulsions were expected to be more stable because of their high viscosity. Both the WPNFs/TNPs and WPI were smooth and homogenous surfaces without cracks or pore. The WPNFs/TNPs showed various degrees of antimicrobial activities against all the microbial strains and with the addition of nanoparticles, their interaction increased which further enhanced the quality of the product. Each film and coating had clear zones against all the desired microbes. The inhibition zones of WPI/TNPs were smaller than those of WPNFs/TNPs films. The addition of TNPs into with the nanofibrils enhanced the activity of nanofibrils and also it showed better and larger inhibition zones. The DPPH Radical‐scavenging activity of WPNFs/TNPs‐based samples was greater than that of the WPI/TNPs based samples. The highest was observed against the fish and mutton samples, followed by chicken and beef. The WPNFs/TNPs edible coatings decreased the microbial growth throughout storage for serval weeks. Our results may provide a basic understanding of the use of whey protein as an alternative for food safety of chilled food products.

AbstractBackground and objectivesA Mediterranean lifestyle may prevent and mitigate cardiometabolic disorders. We explored whether adherence to a Mediterranean lifestyle was prospectively associated with the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among coronary heart disease (CHD) patients.MethodsThe Coronary Diet Intervention with Olive Oil and Cardiovascular Prevention (CORDIOPREV) study was an interventional diet study to compare a Mediterranean diet with a low‐fat diet, in 1002 CHD patients. The Mediterranean lifestyle (MEDLIFE) index was used to assess adherence to a MEDLIFE at baseline, and after 5 years, in 851 participants from the CORDIOPREV study. Subjects were classified as having high (>13 points), moderate (12–13 points), and low (<12 points) adherence to the MEDLIFE. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to determine the association between MEDLIFE adherence and the risk of MetS development or reversal.ResultsDuring the 5‐year follow‐up, CORDIOPREV participants with high adherence to MEDLIFE had a lower risk of MetS development (odds ratio [OR] 0.37, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.19–0.75, p < 0.01) and a higher likelihood of reversing preexisting MetS (OR 2.08 CI 95% 1.11–3.91, p = 0.02) compared with participants in the low MEDLIFE adherence group. Each additional one‐point increment in the MEDLIFE index was associated with a 24% lower risk of MetS development (OR 0.76, 95% CI 0.64–0.90, p < 0.01) and a 21% higher likelihood of reversing preexisting MetS (OR 1.21 CI 95% 1.04–1.41, p = 0.01).ConclusionsOur results showed that greater adherence to a MEDLIFE reduced the risk of subsequent MetS development and increased the likelihood of reversing preexisting MetS among patients with CHD at baseline.
Unethical leadership: A review, analysis, and research agenda
Authors: Mitchell Marie S. , Rivera Gabriela , Treviño Linda Klebe 
Published: December 2022

AbstractLeaders play a critical role in creating the ethics agenda in organizations. Their communications, decisions, and behaviors influence employees to act ethically or unethically to accomplish organizational goals. To be sure, various reviews within the behavioral ethics literature have highlighted the crucial role that ethical leadership plays in gearing organizations and employees ethically. Yet, numerous documented ethical failings in organizations have evidenced the impact of unethical leadership—where leaders’ unethical conduct or influence on employees promotes unethicality within organizations and generates harmful consequences. Therefore, understanding the darker side of leadership is important. The literature that has emerged in the organizational sciences on the study of unethical leadership, however, is fragmented, creating ambiguities and introducing potential confounds on what constitutes unethical leadership. We review this body of work, summarizing findings on the antecedents, explanatory mechanisms, and consequences of unethical leadership. We then provide an evaluation of the unethical leadership conceptualization, taking stock of previous conceptualizations, problems associated with past approaches, and offer considerations for a conceptualization to progress future scholarship. The goal is to engage scholarly conversation on how to evolve the unethical leadership domain without engaging in logical fallacy or post‐hoc rationalization. We offer practical implications for managers to address and minimize unethical leadership within their organizations and outline future research directions to advance our understanding of unethical leadership and its nomological network.
