The demand hierarchy of the government and investors in PPP projects
Authors: Liu Jiaqi , Liu Jicai 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to determine the demand category and level of government and investors in public–private partnership (PPP) projects. It emphasizes the importance of meeting the demands of stakeholders and controlling the unreasonable demands. This study aims to improve the demand management of stakeholders in the PPP project and lay a foundation for the research on behavior based on the motivation theory.Design/methodology/approachThis paper opted for a questionnaire survey to collect data based on indicators identified through literature. The participants come from the government and private sector (investors, contractors, operators, etc.) in China PPP Lecture Hall. The reliability, validity and variance analyses are used to test the reliability of data. Factor analysis and entropy method are used to determine demand categories and weights.FindingsThe government’s 14 demands are divided into four groups: satisfy public activities, self-interest, responsibility and relief financial pressure; 6 investor's demands are divided into development ability and satisfy social activities. The self-interest of government is higher than that of the publicity in PPP projects; investor's social reputation is most important, it is a foundation for obtaining external resources and achieving enterprise development.Research limitations/implicationsBecause of the chosen research approach, the demand indexes cannot be exhausted. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to enrich relevant contents further.Practical implicationsThis paper includes implications for a targeted demand control mechanism and for managing the unreasonable demand.Originality/valueThis paper comprehensively identifies the demand hierarchy of the government and investors, and provides the theoretical basis for the target management of stakeholders.

Published: November 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the relationships between empowering leadership, basic psychological needs satisfaction, work-related well-being, and project citizenship behavior.Design/methodology/approachDrawing upon the self-determination theory (SDT), a conceptual model was developed and then empirically tested using a cross-sectional survey of 435 project members in Chinese construction projects.FindingsThe results fully support the research hypotheses proposed in the study, illustrating the positive impacts of empowering leadership on work-related well-being and project citizenship behavior, the mediating role of basic psychological needs satisfaction, and the positive association between work-related well-being and project citizenship behavior.Practical implicationsThis research determines the utility of empowering leadership in the context of construction projects, especially in enhancing individual outcomes (i.e. work-related well-being and project citizenship behavior). Therefore, construction project managers can apply empowering leadership to meet the basic psychological needs of subordinates to increase project members' work-related well-being and project citizenship behavior.Originality/valueTo our knowledge, the present study first explores the micro-level impacts of empowering leadership in the construction context. Additionally, this study enriches the understanding of the mediating mechanism between empowering leadership and individual outcomes from a self-determination perspective.
Mitigating tensions between ethics and aesthetics through community-led adaptive heritage reuse: the case of post-industrial Praga, Warsaw
Authors: van Knippenberg Karim , Boonstra Beitske 
Published: November 2022

PurposeHeritage reuse, in which the aesthetics of heritage play a leading role, often leads to extreme commodification of heritage, place branding, gentrification and the exclusion of many narratives and voices. In order to understand how such processes of erosion and estrangement between heritage and local communities can be countered, while still redeveloping heritage buildings for contemporary urban needs, this paper explores with what kind of practices and heritage approaches these tensions can be mitigated, learning from recent experiences in Praga district.Design/methodology/approachBased on qualitative semi-structured interviews in a case study of a living lab of ongoing heritage reuse practice in Praga district in the city of Warsaw, Poland, the authors identify practices and approaches that can help to overcome tensions between the ethics and aesthetics of heritage reuse.FindingsIn rapidly changing district like Praga, local communities and others are struggling to compete process of change that impact their heritage, and the engagement with it. Although the local community is quite active in addressing various urban challenges and preserving the character of Praga including heritage elements, the conditions under which these community-led heritage reuse practices operate are quite impactful, as it appears that cooperation with local institutions is vital in order to embed community-led heritage reuse practices to overcome the tensions between ethics and aesthetics of heritage reuse.Originality/valueThis paper presents an in-depth analysis of a living lab of community-led heritage reuse. As such, the paper highlights various practices of community organizations and citizen initiatives that address heritage reuse, as well as the conditions under which these initiatives operate.
Normative telecommuting: the effects of group composition and task interdependence on telecommuter and non-telecommuter performance
Authors: Podolsky Mark , Ducharme Mary Jo , McIntyre Christa 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThis study examines whether group-level homogeneity in telecommuting status is associated with performance differences between teleworkers and non-teleworkers at the individual level. The authors further investigate the impact of group-level task interdependence on this relationship.Design/methodology/approachA group of 225 employees in 41 work groups were surveyed, and employee performance data from the organization was used. A multilevel perspective was used to examine the influence of normative telecommuting on individual performance.FindingsIt was found that while performance differences between telecommuters and non-telecommuters in mixed groups favor non-telecommuters, those differences become non-significant as the proportion of telecommuters increases. Results further show that when group task interdependence is low, there are no performance differences between telecommuters and non-telecommuters. When group task interdependence is high, telecommuters perform better as the proportion of telecommuters in the group increases.Research limitations/implicationsFuture studies should examine the group norms that are formed in predominantly telecommuting groups that support successful telecommuting outcomes.Practical implicationsTelecommuters perform better in groups with proportionally more telecommuters, even when task interdependence is high.Originality/valueThis study furthers our understanding around how telecommuting can be managed at the group level to maximize performance potential.
Optimising camera trap surveys for the Carpentarian Pseudantechinus (Pseudantechinus mimulus) in northwest Queensland
Authors: Barnes Jarrad C. , Sanders Mark G. , Burnett Scott E. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe Carpentarian Pseudantechinus (Pseudantechinus mimulus) is a poorly studied dasyurid marsupial that inhabits rocky outcrops in the Mount Isa Inlier bioregion in Queensland and the Gulf Coastal and Gulf Fall and Uplands bioregions in the Northern Territory. It is readily detected by passive infrared triggered camera traps (‘camera traps’). Camera trap data can be used to develop detection probability estimates from which activity patterns can be inferred, but no effort has previously been made to determine changes in the detectability of P. mimulus throughout the year. We undertook a 13‐month baited camera trap survey across nine sampling periods at 60 locations of known historic presence or nearby suitable habitat to assess the change in detection rates and detection probabilities of P. mimulus across a year. Detection probabilities were calculated from camera trap data within a single‐species, multi‐season occupancy framework to determine optimal survey timing. Detection probability data were used to calculate the likelihood of false absences to determine optimal survey duration. We recorded 2493 detections of P. mimulus over 10 966 camera days. Detection probability ranged from 0.009 to 0.179 and was significantly higher from April to October than from November to March. The likelihood of false absences varied by sampling period and desired level of confidence. We find that camera trap surveys for P. mimulus are best conducted from April to October, but optimal survey duration is dependent upon the time of year and desired level of confidence that an observed absence from a given site reflects a true absence at that site. Attaining a minimum of 80% confidence of absence requires as few as 9 days of survey effort in May to 16 days of survey effort in October.
Syn‐depositional halokinesis in the Zechstein Supergroup (Lopingian) controls Triassic minibasin genesis and location

Published: November 2022

AbstractSalt tectonics is typically caused by the flow of mobile evaporites in response to post‐depositional gravity gliding and/or differential loading by overburden sediments. This situation is considerably more complex near the margins of salt basins, where carbonate and clastic rocks may be deposited at the same time as and be interbedded with more mobile, evaporitic strata. In these cases, syn‐depositional salt flow may occur due to density differences in the deposited lithologies, although our understanding of this and related processes is relatively poor. We here use 3D seismic reflection and borehole data from the Devil's Hole Horst, West Central Shelf, offshore UK to understand the genesis, geometry, and kinematic evolution of intra‐Zechstein Supergroup (Lopingian) minibasins and their effect on post‐depositional salt deformation. We show that immobile, pinnacle‐to‐barrier‐like, carbonate build‐ups and anhydrite are largely restricted to intra‐basin highs, whereas mobile halite, which flowed to form large diapirs, dominates in the deep basin. At the transition between the intra‐basin highs and the deep basin, a belt of intra‐Zechstein minibasins occurs, forming due to the subsidence of relatively dense anhydrite into underlying halite. Depending on primary halite thickness, these intra‐Zechstein minibasins created topographic lows, dictating where Triassic minibasins subsequently nucleated and down‐built. Our study refines the original depositional model for the Zechstein Supergroup in the Central North Sea, with the results also helping us better understand the style and distribution of syn‐depositional salt flow within other layered evaporitic sequences and the role intra‐salt heterogeneity and related deformation may have in the associated petroleum plays.

ObjectiveTo evaluate pharmacy, dental and dental therapy undergraduate students' perceived competence of interprofessional working before and after attending an interprofessional education (IPE) Gerodontology workshop.BackgroundWhilst there is international recognition of the importance of collaboration between the dental profession and systemic healthcare providers to enhance patient care, there remains a paucity of research into IPE in Gerodontology.Materials and MethodsPharmacy, dental and dental therapy undergraduate students attended a 2‐hour Gerodontology case‐based workshop. Students completed anonymised Interprofessional Collaborative Competencies Attainment Surveys (ICCAS) before and after attendance.Results108 questionnaires were received, 7 were withdrawn (1 incomplete with only pre‐workshop side completed, 6 did not identify degree programme). From 101 included questionnaires, 37 were from pharmacy, 56 dental and 8 dental therapy students resulting in response rates of 84%, 82% and 67%, respectively. Each student group recorded an increase in positive reflective competence median (IQR) after taking part in the workshop. Overall median (IQR) reflective competence before the workshop was 6 (1), 5 (2) and 6 (2) for pharmacy, dental and dental therapy students, respectively, which increased to 7 (1) for all groups. There was variability in reflective competence before attending the workshop between dental and pharmacy students for two questions, and dental and dental therapy students for two different questions.ConclusionAll students reported increased reflective competence of interprofessional working following the workshop. These findings suggest that introduction of IPE events into Gerodontology curricula may improve student understanding and appreciation of interprofessional working when providing care for older people.

Published: November 2022

AbstractBackground and objectivesThere is scant research investigating the user‐friendly functional assessment tool conceptualized by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) among persons with haemophilia (PWH). This study aims to accomplish two goals: (1) quantifying comprehensive functioning measures of haemophilia through Item Response Theory (IRT); (2) discussing patient‐centred care based on the Wright map of personal ability and item difficulty.MethodsA cross‐sectional study was carried out in 70 PWH (mean age, 33.09 ± 11.04) via convenience sampling. All patients completed the 45 ICF categories of haemophilic‐specific activity and participation. Psychometric properties of the categories were examined using Mokken scale analysis and parametric item response modelling.ResultsWe extracted a unidimensional scale with 31 categories, and constructed a Rasch model with good fitness. The Cronbach's α of the scale was .9713, with the Guttman's λ2 = .9730, Molenaar Sijtsma ρ = .9802, and latent class reliability coefficient = .9769, indicating great internal reliability. The estimated individual social competence by the Rasch model was highly related to the index score of the three‐level EuroQol five‐dimensional questionnaire (EQ‐5D‐3L) (p < .001, r = .62), and had a moderate correlation (p < .001, r = .54) with the score of Haemophilia Activities List (HAL).ConclusionsThe ICF scale of haemophilic activity and participation with 31 categories (HAPPY‐ICF) has good construct validity and internal consistency. The person‐item threshold distribution map might be helpful in research and clinical practices for patient‐oriented care.
Classification and feasibility of mango kernel fat and its stepwise fractionated stearins for use in heat‐stable chocolate fats

Published: November 2022

SummaryMango kernel fat (MKF) is a potential improver for heat‐stable abilities of chocolates. MKF and three stepwise fractionated stearins with increasing 1,3‐distearoyl‐2‐oleoyl‐glycerol (StOSt) were blended with cocoa butter (CB) to prepare binary fats, which were divided into four groups based on their triacylglycerols and compatibilities. POSt was the dominant triacylglycerol in groups I and II while StOSt became dominant in groups III and IV. Based on melting behaviours and morphologies, binary blends from groups I to II, containing 10%–50% of MKF, 10%–30% of its primary stearin, or 10%–20% of its secondary or tertiary stearins, were consistent with CB. In groups II and III, heat‐stable blends were formulated with 40%–60% of the primary stearin or 30%–40% of the secondary or tertiary stearins. However, most of the blends in groups III and IV maintained high amounts of fat solids near body temperature, failing to be used as chocolate fats.
Higher growth synchrony and climate change‐sensitivity in European beech and silver linden than in temperate oaks

Published: November 2022

AbstractAimClimatic changes affect the growth dynamics of temperate trees, but these effects might differ between co‐occurring ring‐ and diffuse‐porous species as well as between mesic and xeric rear‐edge populations. We explore whether recent climate warming has increased the climate sensitivity and within‐stand synchrony of growth in these groups differently.LocationThe natural beech–oak ecotone in Western Romania at the dry margin of beech occurrence.TaxaThree ring‐porous oak species (Quercus petraea, Q. frainetto and Q. cerris), and diffuse‐porous European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and silver linden (Tilia tomentosa).MethodsWe correlated tree‐ring records with monthly and seasonal climate data (period 1940–2017). Regional growth synchrony was assessed through the analysis of inter‐series correlation of growth within populations and among populations using mixed models.ResultsIn all five species including two south‐east European oak taxa and silver linden, water availability in summer was the most important climatic determinant of radial growth. This factor has gained in importance since the onset of rapid warming after 1980, while the impact of other climate factors in spring and summer has decreased. Within‐population growth synchrony as a measure of overall climatic stress has increased, or remained stable, since 1980 in beech and silver linden, but has decreased in the oak species, matching declining growth trends in beech and linden and increasing (or stable) trends in the oaks.Main ConclusionsThe patterns of growth synchrony provide valuable information on tree species' drought susceptibility in efforts to select suitable tree species for climate change‐adapted forestry. The climate vulnerability of beech is higher than that of the more drought‐resistant oak species due to its marked summer‐drought sensitivity of growth.

Published: November 2022

AbstractIn recent years, the frequent occurrence of most human activities has seriously affected the structure and functioning of coastal ecosystems. The asymmetric relationship between the left and right otoliths of fish is often used to test the difference in fluctuating asymmetry (FA) reflected by the square of the coefficient of asymmetric variation (CV2a), which can be regarded as an important step in the study of marine environmental pressure and implementation of offshore ecological restoration. In this study, the authors tested the bilateral FA of Collichthys lucidus in the coastal waters of Haizhou Bay, Jiangsu, and Xiangshan Bay, Zhejiang, China, using four sagittal otolith characters (length, width, perimeter and area) as biological characters. The results showed that the value of CV2a in otolith width (more sensitive to environmental pressure) of C. lucidus in Xiangshan Bay was higher than that in Haizhou Bay, indicating that the environmental pressure on Xiangshan Bay was relatively high. The authors did not find any significant differences in the FA of otoliths between different body sizes of C. lucidus, which may be related to the short‐distance migration in different regions and the dietary shifts in the life history of this species. The results have conservation and management implications for this population.
