Impact of customer-centric approach and customer dissatisfying cost on supply chain profit under price competition
Authors: Jena Sarat Kumar 
Published: February 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to provide a unique competitive advantage to businesses in providing a wide range of products to prospective customers. To the best of the author’s knowledge, there is no study to discuss the impact of customer-centric retailing on total supply chain profit under price competition between organized and unorganized retailers.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper considers a supply chain comprising of organized and unorganized retailers and a single manufacturer. This paper proposes three mathematical models considering a customer-centric approach in a competitive environment. Stackelberg game is used to examine how members of the chain interact, and Nash equilibrium was used to find optimal strategies for players under different customer-centric approaches.

Findings
The results show that the total supply chain profit is higher when both organized and unorganized retailers use a customer-centric approach independently instead of collaborating process. The result, in addition, establishes that when the dissatisfying cost exceeds a certain threshold (1.5), the total profit is higher for the organized customer-centric effort model compared to the other two models.

Originality/value
The main contribution of the study is to examine the effect of customer-centric retailing, considering dissatisfying costs on supply chains profit and individual decision-making under price competition between organized retailers and unorganized retailers. The authors developed different mathematical models in the different customer-centric approach.
Searching for dialogue in public sector budgeting research: the case study of the JPBAFM
Authors: Aleksandrov Evgenii , Mauro Sara Giovanna 
Published: February 2023

PurposeThis paper aims to respond to the recent calls to discover the research developments in the field of public budgeting. Particularly, it explores whether and how research dialogue unfolds within the public budgeting field over time and how to stimulate it further, by investigating the case of a specific journal oriented to budgeting topics.Design/methodology/approachApplying a case study strategy, this paper reviews previous studies on public budgeting published in one specific journal, the Journal of Public Budgeting, Accounting and Financial Management (JPBAFM), from its “online inception” in 1994 to 2020. Borrowing ideas from dialogue literature, the authors analyse 108 selected papers according to a multi-dimensional framework for exploring research dialogues taking into account the year of publication, authorship (and affiliation), research setting, method and theoretical approach, and, above all, research topics on budgeting.FindingsThe findings illustrate that whilst public budgeting research has been fluctuating over time in the JPBAFM, there is a growing interest in the topic over the last several years (2015–2020). Yet, the journal illustrates a limited dialogic development of the field of public budgeting, where produced knowledge has been significantly North America-oriented, normative and quantitative-dominated. Until recently, only a limited role has been given to dialogue formation between researchers and practitioners, but the current debate is increasingly being enriched by new perspectives and a wider range of experiences. Finally, public budgeting has been addressed from multiple perspectives over time, with a significant impact determined by performance and participatory budgeting. Although multiple topics are receiving growing attention, it is still under-developed in the inter-dialogue formation between topics and theories, despite the more recently growing use of different theoretical approaches and empirical and analytical rigour.Research limitations/implicationsThe research is limited to one journal as a case study and does not claim to provide an overall reflection of public budgeting research and related empirical generalisations. Instead, the authors strive for a theoretical generalisation of multi-dimensional dialogue importance in the field.Originality/valueThe value of the research lies in a comprehensive analysis of research dialogue formation within public sector budgeting over time in an international journal that has actively engaged with public sector issues and, specifically, with budgeting. By so doing, this paper adds a critical stand on the value of dialogue in fostering inter-contextual and inter-disciplinary research in the field of public budgeting.
A strategic management process: the role of decision-making style and organisational performance

Published: February 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual framework for integrating strategic thinking factors, organisational performance and the decision-making process.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology involves a synthesis of literature and proposes a framework that explores the relationship between strategic thinking enabling factors, organisational performance and the moderating effect of decision-making styles.FindingsThe framework includes strategic thinking enabling factors (systems perspective, focused intent, intelligent opportunism, thinking in time and hypothesis-driven analysis), organisational performance and the moderating effect of decision-making styles (intuitive and rational).Research limitations/implicationsThis research results in a conceptual model only; it remains to be tested in actual practice. The expanded conceptual framework can serve as a basis for future empirical research and provide insights to practitioners into how to strengthen policy development in a strategic planning process.Originality/valueA paradigm shift in the literature proves that strategic management and decision-making styles are vital in determining organisational performance. This paper highlights the importance of decision-making styles and develops a framework for strategic management by analysing the existing strategic management literature.

Published: February 2023

Purpose
Project delivery organizations (PDO) have to develop competitive advantage against new entrants. This study aims to explore the knowledge conversion transactions proposed by Nonaka and Takeuchi (1995) in project phases through the interplay of dynamic and operational capabilities. This study is based on a case study for a PDO in the engineering industry.

Design/methodology/approach
This study proposes a model of dynamics between the constructs, and its illustration with a case study of a PDO. The research extends the socialization, externalization, combination and internalization (SECI) model of knowledge management (KM).

Findings
This study provides an overview of existing research related to the constructs like applicability of operational and dynamic capabilities, knowledge configuration and knowledge management processes to individual projects delivered by a PDO for its clients. Further, this study provides an overview of the knowledge configuration adopted by an organization and how it helps to build the competitive advantage of an organization.

Research limitations/implications
This study proposes a model for applying the constructs to each of the phases of a project. It then illustrates the knowledge value chain in a PDO in the field of engineering projects with detailed insights into the steps of sensing, seizing and sharing knowledge across the project life cycle.

Practical implications
Project-based firms can use the learnings and create their own SECI model linking the conceptual model of KM and PDO and KM value chain.

Social implications
In social projects implementation, this conceptual model and process will be helpful in building efficiency and effectiveness.

Originality/value
This case study presents the knowledge value chain in a PDO in the field of engineering projects with detailed insights into the steps of sensing, seizing and sharing knowledge across the project life cycle.
Activity and abundance of methanotrophic bacteria in a northern mountainous gradient of wetlands
Authors: Jensen Sigmund , Siljanen Henri M.P. , Dörsch Peter 
Published: February 2023

AbstractMethane uptake and diversity of methanotrophic bacteria was investigated across six hydrologically connected wetlands in a mountainous forest landscape upstream of lake Langtjern, southern Norway. From floodplain through shrubs, forest and sedges to a Sphagnum covered site, growing season CH4 production was insufficiently consumed to balance release into the atmosphere. Emission increased by soil moisture ranging 0.6–6.8 mg CH4 m−2 h−1. Top soils of all sites consumed CH4 including at the lowest 78 ppmv CH4 supplied, thus potentially oxidizing 17–51 nmol CH4 g−1 dw h−1, with highest Vmax 440 nmol g−1 dw h−1 under Sphagnum and lowest Km 559 nM under hummocked Carex. Nine genera and several less understood type I and type II methanotrophs were detected by the key functional gene pmoA involved in methane oxidation. Microarray signal intensities from all sites revealed Methylococcus, the affiliated Lake Washington cluster, Methylocaldum, a Japanese rice cluster, Methylosinus, Methylocystis and the affiliated Peat264 cluster. Notably enriched by site was a floodplain Methylomonas and a Methylocapsa‐affiliated watershed cluster in the Sphagnum site. The climate sensitive water table was shown to be a strong controlling factor highlighting its link with the CH4 cycle in elevated wetlands.

AbstractObjectiveThe Pulmonary Embolism Quality‐of‐Life (PEmb‐QoL) questionnaire assesses quality of life (QoL) after pulmonary embolism (PE). We aimed to determine whether any clinical or pathophysiologic features of PE were associated with worse PEmb‐QoL scores 1 month after PE.MethodsIn this prospective multicenter registry, we conducted PEmb‐QoL questionnaires. We determined differences in QoL domain scores for four primary variables: clinical deterioration (death, cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, hypotension requiring fluid bolus, catecholamine support, or new dysrhythmia), right ventricular dysfunction (RVD), PE risk stratification, and subsequent rehospitalization. For overall QoL score, we fit a multivariable regression model that included these four primary variables as independent variables.ResultsOf 788 PE patients participating in QoL assessments, 156 (19.8%) had a clinical deterioration event, 236 (30.7%) had RVD of which 38 (16.1%) had escalated interventions. For those without and with clinical deterioration, social limitations had mean (±SD) scores of 2.07 (±1.27) and 2.36 (±1.47), respectively (p = 0.027). For intensity of complaints, mean (±SD) scores for patients without RVD (4.32 ± 2.69) were significantly higher than for those with RVD with or without reperfusion interventions (3.82 ± 1.81 and 3.83 ± 2.11, respectively; p = 0.043). There were no domain score differences between PE risk stratification groups. All domain scores were worse for patients with rehospitalization versus without. By multivariable analysis, worse total PEmb‐QoL scores with effect sizes were subsequent rehospitalization 11.29 (6.68–15.89), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) 8.17 (3.91–12.43), and longer index hospital length of stay 0.06 (0.03–0.08).ConclusionsAcute clinical deterioration, RVD, and PE severity were not predictors of QoL at 1 month post‐PE. Independent predictors of worsened QoL were rehospitalization, COPD, and index hospital length of stay.
Mortality rates of desert vegetation during high‐intensity drought at Uluru‐Kata Tjuta National Park, Central Australia

Published: February 2023

AbstractPrecipitation variability and heatwaves are expected to intensify over much of inland Australia under most projected climate change scenarios. This will undoubtedly have impacts on the biota of Australian dryland systems. However, accurate modelling of these impacts is presently impeded by a lack of empirical research on drought/heatwave effects on native arid flora and fauna. During the 2018–2021 Australian drought, many parts of the continent's inland experienced their hottest, driest period on record. Here, we present the results of a field survey in 2021 involving indigenous rangers, scientists and national parks staff who assessed plant dieback during this drought at Uluru‐Kata Tjuta National Park (UKTNP), central Australia. Spatially randomized quadrat sampling of eight common and culturally important plants indicated the following plant death rates across UKTNP (in order of drought susceptibility): desert myrtle (Aluta maisonneuvei subsp. maisonneuvei) (91%), yellow flame grevillea (Grevillea eriostachya) (79%), Maitland's wattle (Acacia maitlandii) (67%), waxy wattle (A. melleodora) (65%), soft spinifex grass (Triodia pungens) (53%), mulga (A. aneura) (42%), desert oak (Allocasuarina decaisneana) (22%) and quandong (Santalum acuminatum) (0%). The sampling also detected that seedling recruitment was absent or minimal for all plants except soft spinifex, while a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) indicated two‐way interactions among species, plant size and stand density as important predictors of drought survival of adult plants. A substantial loss of biodiversity has occurred at UKTNP during the recent drought, with likely drivers of widespread plant mortality being extreme multi‐year rainfall deficit (2019 recorded the lowest‐ever annual rainfall at UKTNP [27 mm]) and record high summer temperatures (December 2019 recorded the highest‐ever temperature [47.1°C]). Our findings indicate that widespread plant death and extensive vegetation restructuring will occur across arid Australia if the severity and frequency of droughts increase under climate change.
Predicting mortality and admission duration for burns patients in Queensland, Australia: a retrospective cohort study
Authors: Murray‐Douglass Alexander , Vujcich Elizabeth 
Published: February 2023

AbstractBackgroundBurn outcomes can be improved by reducing mortality and hospital admission duration. This increases patient quality of life and reduces hospital‐associated complications and costs. This study aimed to develop a model with which to predict burns inpatient mortality and admission duration.MethodsMultiple logistic and linear regression were used to investigate mortality and admission duration by age, total body surface area, sex, delay to presentation, the use of surgery, discharge distance and period.ResultsOne thousand four hundred and seventy nine patients (747 pre‐COVID and 732 during COVID) were admitted between the study dates. Using multiple logistic regression, age and total body surface area predicted mortality LR X2 (5), P < 0.001, pseudo R2 = 0.57. Using multiple linear regression, age, total body surface area and the use of surgery predicted admission duration F (7, 1455) = 161.42, P < 0.001, R2 = 0.44. Sex, delay to presentation, period and discharge distance did not predict mortality or admission duration.ConclusionsIn our institution, mortality was increased by 8.6% for each additional year of age and by 11.3% for each additional percentage total body surface area. Likewise, admission duration was prolonged by 1 day for every 7 years of increased age, by 1 day for each additional percentage total body surface area or by 7 days if surgery was required. These models have been incorporated into a set of prediction tables for mortality and admission duration for use in our institute that can guide patient and family discussions.

Published: February 2023

AbstractBackgroundThe optimal treatment for chronic active antibody‐mediated rejection (ca‐AMR) remains unclear. Tocilizumab (TCZ), a monoclonal antibody against IL‐6, has been proposed as a therapeutic option. We reported our experience treating ca‐AMR with TCZ either as the first line option or as a rescue therapy.MethodsWe studied 11 adult kidney transplant recipients with biopsy‐proven ca‐AMR and preserved kidney function (eGFR 57 ± 18) who were treated with TCZ (8 mg/kg IV monthly). All biopsies were prompted by abnormal surveillance biomarker testing with DSA and/or dd‐cfDNA. Clinical monitoring included dd‐cfDNA and DSA testing every 3 months during the treatment with TCZ.ResultsIn this cohort, ca‐AMR was diagnosed at a median of 90 months (range 14–224) post‐transplant, and 4 of 11 patients had DSA negative ca‐AMR. Patients received a minimum of 3 months of TCZ, with 6 patients receiving at least 12 months of TCZ. Dd‐cfDNA was elevated in all patients, with a median 2.24% at the start of TCZ treatment. After 6 months of TCZ treatment, 8/11 patients had dd‐ cfDNA <1%, and 3/11 had values <0.5%. Among those who completed at least 12 months of TCZ, dd‐cfDNA decreased by 29% at 6 months (p = .05) and 47% by 12 months (p = .04). DSA also stabilized and, by 12 months, was reduced by 29% (p = .047). Graft function remained stable with no graft loss during treatment. There was a nonsignificant trend towards proteinuria reduction. During the course of treatment with tocilizumab, two patients experienced moderate to severe infections.ConclusionsIn our early short‐term experience, TCZ appears to reduce graft injury as measured by dd‐cfDNA and modulate the immune response as evident by a modest reduction in immunodominant DSA MFI. Allograft function and proteinuria also stabilized.

Published: February 2023

AbstractAimsInsulin pump self‐management is important for glycaemic outcomes. We aimed to investigate associations between self‐management factors and HbA1c.MethodsAdult insulin pump users with type 1 diabetes (n = 770) completed an online questionnaire. The latest HbA1c and demographics were extracted from national registries. Associations between HbA1c and self‐management (use of advanced features, timing of infusion set change, timing of meal bolus, data‐upload and pump settings adjustments) were investigated using backward selected linear regression models.ResultsOf the 699 responders eligible for this study, 60% were women; the median age and diabetes duration were 49 and 25 years, respectively. Significant associations with HbA1c were found for changing infusion set every 0–4 days relative to 5–10 days (−5 mmol/mol (−0.4%), p = 0.003), and for never/rarely missing a bolus (−6 mmol/mol (−0.5%), p < 0.001) relative to often missing a bolus. Timing insulin 10–15 min before meal relative to after meal start was also associated with lower HbA1c (−3 mmol/mol (−0.3%), p = 0.023). Self‐adjusting pump settings showed the strongest association with lower HbA1c (−6 mmol/mol (−0.6%), p < 0.001) relative to health care professionals doing all adjustments.ConclusionSelf‐adjusting insulin pump settings, optimal timing and few omissions of meal boluses, and timely change of infusion set are associated with lower HbA1c.
