Authors: Zhang Jueman (Mandy) , Wang Yi (Jasmine) 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
The novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic provided new and various opportunities for corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. This study intended to compare three types of CSR activities – product development, in-kind donation and CSR commercial – undertaken by two companies – Nike, Inc. and The Coca-Cola Company in response to the pandemic. The purpose of this study was to investigate how CSR activity type and their attributes affected effectiveness.

Design/methodology/approach
This study used an experiment using a 3 (CSR activity type) × 2 (company) mixed factorial design. CSR activity type was a between-subjects factor, and company was a within-subjects factor. The attributes of dynamism and innovativeness, corporate image, brand equity and social media sharing likelihood were dependent variables.

Findings
The findings underscored the importance of CSR activity type and their attributes of dynamism and innovativeness in the effects on corporate image and brand equity. Product development and in-kind donation, which were perceived as more dynamic than CSR commercial, resulted in more desirable corporate images. Product development, which was perceived as more innovative than in-kind donation and CSR commercial, did not result in greater brand equity than in-kind donation, but resulted in greater brand equity than CSR commercial. The CSR activity type and their attributes did not affect social media sharing likelihood. Differences in content modes could be considered.

Originality/value
This study advanced the knowledge on the effectiveness of CSR activities by comparing CSR activity types varying in dynamism and innovativeness in the context of a public health crisis that caused unprecedented societal changes and challenges.
The impact of eco-innovation on green buying behaviour: the moderating effect of emotional loyalty and generation
Authors: Sharma Nitika , Paço Arminda , Kautish Pradeep 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThis study intends to contribute to the literature of eco-innovation by examining the pro-environmental intentions and behaviour among consumers through their understanding of eco-innovation. Thus, the relationship among eco-innovation, general pro-social attitude, generativity, environmental concern, purchasing intentions and buying environmentally friendly products and the differences of the relationship between high and low emotional loyalty and Generation Y and Z were investigated via structural equation modelling (SEM).Design/methodology/approachData were collected through an online questionnaire directed to Indian consumers, and analysis was done through partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) in two stages, i.e. measurement model and structural model.FindingsResults confirm the relationships established in the proposed model, and some differences were found between the levels of emotional loyalty and the Generations Y and Z. The research shows that individualistic norms and perceived marketplace influence play a purposeful role in transforming environmental concerns into buying behaviour towards eco-innovation-driven products.Practical implicationsFrom a policy and management perspective, the results not only imply the importance of continuous performance and environmental improvement but also those policies hindering diffusion and adoption need to be addressed. Green buying is an elusive task but can be opportunely attained by marketers by adding elements of eco-innovations and understanding mindsets of consumers to create win–win situations for themselves and consumers.Originality/valueThe results reinforced that emotional loyalty and Generations Y and Z vitally impact consumers' green buying decision within the framework of eco-innovation and cognitive factors.
Transforming employee resistance into organizational learning at a higher education institution in Palestine
Authors: Akella Devi , Khoury Grace 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThis paper reconceptualizes resistance as a stimulant of organizational learning from a change agent's perspective. Adopting a social constructivism lens, the paper argues that employee resistance has the capacity to trigger individual, group and organizational learning. It explores the “how” question—how can employee resistance be transformed into organizational learning?Design/methodology/approachThis study utilizes the qualitative research method of auto-ethnography. Sensemaking auto-ethnographic narrative accounts of two change agents, internal and external is used to synchronize resistance and learning as well as reflect on the positive impact of organizational change.FindingsRather than, suppressing resistance as a dysfunctional aspect of the change process, becoming aware and making sense of this “misconstrued barrier” to learning and change can transform it into an appropriate feedback mechanism to initiate organizational learning.Practical implicationsThis paper emphasizes the role of change agents in the change process and how their understanding of the culture, change recipients, organizational climate and work environment could increase the success of transforming resistance into learning. Collaboration through social interaction, communication, participation and awareness creation are utilized as effective mechanisms to develop a learning environment.Originality/valueThis research was carried out within an academic setting in a challenging context where not much is known about change initiatives and resistance at a university level.
Ageing in the unusual times and adapting to the new normal – an Indian perspective
Authors: Ghosh Munmun 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way of our living. Social and physical distancing has become an inevitable part of our life. Although the younger counterpart can adapt to the situation quickly, it is extremely difficult for the elderly (60 years and above) who are locked in their homes to manage this situation on their own, especially those who live alone. In this scenario, how can we help the elderly who are caught at home? How will they again fight with social and physical distancing and the pandemic? The purpose of the study is to acknowledge the fact that the elderly need urgent consideration and attention and suggested ways to adapt to the “new normal.”

Design/methodology/approach
The viewpoint discussed the diverse ways through which the elderly can be motivated to adapt in the current situation in a pandemic hit environment.

Findings
The viewpoint highlighted in detail the prospects, challenges and considerable steps that need to be taken by the important stakeholders (practitioners and policymakers) in our society to support the elderly.

Originality/value
The viewpoint emphasised on the need of creating separate policies and implementation of the same at various levels. Although the government does have acts and policies for the welfare and maintenance of the elderly, they should now also re-think of a more concrete and sustainable policy to take care of the elderly, especially during a crisis. Ageing is inevitable, the reflections of this study will also allow the families and the society to cushion the elderly in their families and around them. This work will also create an opportunity for the practitioners to work for this under-explored community and look forward to catering to their needs.
Evolution during seed production for ecological restoration? A molecular analysis of 19 species finds only minor genomic changes

Abstract

A growing number of restoration projects require large amounts of seeds. As harvesting natural populations cannot cover the demand, wild plants are often propagated in large‐scale monocultures. There are concerns that this cultivation process may cause genetic drift and unintended selection, altering the genetic properties of the cultivated populations and reducing their genetic diversity. Such changes could reduce the pre‐existing adaptation of restored populations and limit their adaptability to environmental change.

We used single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers and a pool‐sequencing approach to test for genetic differentiation and changes in gene diversity during cultivation in 19 wild grassland species, comparing source populations and up to four consecutive cultivation generations. We linked the magnitudes of genetic changes to the species' breeding systems and seed dormancy to understand the roles of these traits in genetic change.

Cultivation changed the genetic composition across cultivated generations only moderately. The genetic differentiation resulting from cultivation was much lower than the natural genetic differentiation between different source regions. The propagated generations harboured even higher gene diversity than wild‐collected seeds. Genetic change was stronger in self‐compatible than self‐incompatible species, probably due to increased outcrossing in monocultures.

Synthesis and applications. Our study suggests that large‐scale seed production maintains the genetic integrity of natural populations. Increased genetic diversity may even indicate increased adaptive potential of propagated seeds, which would make them especially suitable for ecological restoration. Yet, it remains to be tested whether these molecular patterns will be mirrored also by plant phenotypes. Further, we used seeds from Germany and Austria, where the seed production is regulated and certified, and we do not know yet whether other seed production systems perform equally well.
Risk of misinterpreting the Tea Bag Index: Field observations and a random simulation
Authors: Mori Taiki , Nakamura Ryosuke , Aoyagi Ryota 
Published: March 2022

AbstractTo understand the global impact of anthropogenic activities on litter decomposition, it is necessary to obtain large decomposition datasets using a standardized method. The Tea Bag Index (TBI) approach determines the decomposition constant (k) of an asymptote model of litter decomposition and a stabilized ratio of the hydrolyzable fraction (stabilization factor S) using a single measurement of the mass loss ratios of green and rooibos teas. This approach requires the assumption that S is equal for rooibos and green tea. Here, we performed a field experiment in four temperate forest stands that demonstrated that this assumption is not always true. In a forest on limestone soils, more than half of the mass loss ratios of rooibos tea exceeded the decomposable fraction predicted by the assumption and the green tea data, which implies that the S was higher for green tea than rooibos tea. This indicated that the main assumption is not always true. We also performed a random simulation study that demonstrated that the derivation of k based on this assumption leads to a biased positive relationship between k and S, regardless of whether the assumption is correct. Thus, we suggest that the use of k and S in an identical analysis causes biased results because these variables are not independent of each other under the assumption. These risks should be considered depending on the purpose of studies that use the TBI approach.
Appropriation of literacy technologies in the classroom: reflections from creative learning design workshops with primary school teachers
Authors: Vasalou Asimina , Vezzoli Yvonne , Joye Nelly , Sumner Emma , Benton Laura , Herbert Elisabeth , Gan Liping 
Published: March 2022

Background:Approaches to teacher professional development, such as learning designs (LDs), can facilitate primary school teachers' appropriation of literacy technology in the classroom. LDs are detailed learning activities and interventions designed by teachers to plan their use of technology.Methods:Using a creative design methodology to carry out a series of LD workshops with teachers, we aimed to understand how primary school teachers envision learning and teaching with two distinct technologies designed to support children's reading skills: a game and an e‐reader. Employing systematic qualitative content analysis, we compared LDs developed by teachers for each technology.Results:Our study shows that while principles of teacher instruction are consistently incorporated across the LDs, the design of each technology plays an important role in how teachers plan their students' learning and focal reading skills. Further, teachers' perception of the technology is as important as the features of the design. Compared with the e‐reader, the game is perceived as an individual practice activity with less opportunities to learn with peers. Finally, across both technologies, teachers envision supporting additional literacy skills, beyond those designed in the technology, highlighting the importance of explicitly facilitating LDs intended to foster within‐subject learning.Conclusions:These findings raise a new set of considerations on how to support teachers to design literacy learning and teaching activities with technology, and also offer a new methodological approach to facilitate LDs in future research and teacher training.HighlightsWhat is already known about this topic

Professional development supports teachers to appropriate literacy technologies in the classroom.
The learning design approach has been shown to facilitate professional development by placing teachers in the role of the designer.
The learning design approach can support and complement existing pedagogical approaches in the classroom, as well as to foster socio‐constructivist learning.
What this paper adds

In the context of literacy, teachers rely on the learning aims of the technology and its pedagogical approach to determine how and what their students will learn.
Teachers embed learning with peers when the technology aligns with existing social practice in the classroom.
Teachers reappropriate literacy technology designed to support reading skills to extend into other literacy skills, such as writing and oral language.
Implications for theory, policy or practice

The paper offers a learning design methodology to support teachers in creating activities that integrate literacy technologies in the classroom.
The methodology includes strategies that support teachers to embed learning with peers alongside reflecting a broad coverage of literacy learning objectives.
Aotearoa New Zealand emergency medicine specialists on the provision of care at or near the end of life: A survey
Authors: Munro Andrew , Grundy Kate 
Published: March 2022

AbstractObjectivesThe ED is an increasingly important venue for the initiation of palliative care. We sought to characterise the opinions, experience, training and education of ED staff in Aotearoa/New Zealand (NZ) with regard to specific aspects of palliative care in the NZ ED setting.MethodsAll NZ FACEMs were personally emailed a simple unstructured 16‐part survey asking questions about initiating palliative care, goals of care, initiation and availability of advance care plans, frailty screening, availability of palliative expertise, training and education, cultural safety and pastoral care of staff. All EDs were contacted and a link provided for non‐FACEM ED staff who wished to participate. Free‐text comments were analysed for dominant themes.ResultsAll NZ EDs had at least one participant. There was a high level of senior medical staff engagement with 60% of NZ FACEMs participating. More than 300 free‐text comments from this group were available for theme analysis. A total of 93% of NZ FACEM respondents agree that palliative care should be able to be initiated in the ED. Only 25% of this group knew of training in serious illness conversations in the ED while only 34% felt culturally competent when providing end‐of‐life care for Māori and their whanau (family). Pastoral care for ED staff appears to be ad hoc. Time and privacy limitations were common themes.ConclusionsThere is significant opportunity for quality improvement in the initiation and provision of palliative care from the ED. Attention to how departments provide pastoral care to their staff is needed.
Comparative phosphoproteomics reveal new candidates in the regulation of spermatogenesis of Drosophila melanogaster

Published: March 2022

AbstractThe most common phenotype induced by the endosymbiont Wolbachia in insects is cytoplasmic incompatibility, where none or fewer progenies can be produced when Wolbachia‐infected males mate with uninfected females. This suggests that some modifications are induced in host sperms during spermatogenesis by Wolbachia. To identify the proteins whose phosphorylation states play essential roles in male reproduction in Drosophila melanogaster, we applied isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ)‐based proteomic strategy combined with titanium dioxide (TiO2) enrichment to compare the phosphoproteome of Wolbachia‐infected with that of uninfected male reproductive systems in D. melanogaster. We identified 182 phosphopeptides, defining 140 phosphoproteins, that have at least a 1.2 fold change in abundance with a P‐value of <0.05. Most of the differentially abundant phosphoproteins (DAPPs) were associated with microtubule cytoskeleton organization and spermatid differentiation. The DAPPs included proteins already known to be associated with spermatogenesis, as well as many not previously studied during this process. Six genes coding for DAPPs were knocked down, respectively, in Wolbachia‐free fly testes. Among them, Slmap knockdown caused the most severe damage in spermatogenesis, with no mature sperm observed in seminal vesicles. Immunofluorescence staining showed that the formation of individualization complex composed of actin cones was completely disrupted. These results suggest that Wolbachia may induce wide changes in the abundance of phosphorylated proteins which are closely related to male reproduction. By identifying phospho‐modulated proteins we also provide a significant candidate set for future studies on their roles in spermatogenesis.

AbstractBackgroundThe antifibrinolytic drug tranexamic acid (TXA) improves survival in adults with traumatic hemorrhage; however, the drug has not been evaluated in a trial in injured children. We assessed the feasibility of a large‐scale trial evaluating the effects of TXA in children with severe hemorrhagic injuries.MethodsSeverely injured children (0 up to 18th birthday) were randomized into a double‐blind randomized trial of (1) TXA 15 mg/kg bolus dose, followed by 2 mg/kg/h infusion over 8 h, (2) TXA 30 mg/kg bolus dose, followed by 4 mg/kg/h infusion over 8 h, or (3) normal saline placebo bolus and infusion. The trial was conducted at four pediatric Level I trauma centers in the United States between June 2018 and March 2020. We enrolled patients under federal exception from informed consent (EFIC) procedures when parents were unable to provide informed consent. Feasibility outcomes included the rate of enrollment, adherence to intervention arms, and ability to measure the primary clinical outcome. Clinical outcomes included global functioning (primary), working memory, total amount of blood products transfused, intracranial hemorrhage progression, and adverse events. The target enrollment rate was at least 1.25 patients per site per month.ResultsA total of 31 patients were randomized with a mean age of 10.7 years (standard deviation [SD] 5.0 years) and 22 (71%) patients were male. The mean time from injury to randomization was 2.4 h (SD 0.6 h). Sixteen (52%) patients had isolated brain injuries and 15 (48%) patients had isolated torso injuries. The enrollment rate using EFIC was 1.34 patients per site per month. All eligible enrolled patients received study intervention (nine patients TXA 15 mg/kg bolus dose, 10 patients TXA 30 mg/kg bolus dose, and 12 patients placebo) and had the primary outcome measured. No statistically significant differences in any of the clinical outcomes were identified.ConclusionBased on enrollment rate, protocol adherence, and measurement of the primary outcome in this pilot trial, we confirmed the feasibility of conducting a large‐scale, randomized trial evaluating the efficacy of TXA in severely injured children with hemorrhagic brain and/or torso injuries using EFIC.
