Published: July 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to use social network analysis (SNA) to determine whether compulsive exercise (CE) was related to social connections and network position among participants of group-exercise programs.

Design/methodology/approach
Members from two group-exercise programs (Gym 1: n = 103; Gym 2: n = 56) completed an online survey measuring their social connections within the program, CE, depressive symptoms and sense of belonging. Network position was calculated for each person based on network centrality scores (i.e. closeness, eigenvector centrality). Linear network autocorrelation models determined whether respondents reported similar CE as their network ties (i.e., network effects) and whether network position was related to CE in these networks.

Findings
Eigenvector centrality (i.e., being connected to popular/important people within the network; Gym 1: parameter estimate [PE] = 0.51, p < 0.01, Gym 2: PE = 0.39, p = 0.02) and network effects (i.e. having similar CE scores as direct network ties; Gym 1: PE = 0.07, p < 0.01, Gym 2: PE = 0.19, p < 0.01) were related to CE among participants in these programs.

Originality/value
This study builds on existing SNA research suggesting the importance of social connections and network position on CE, and, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, is the first to explore these effects among group-exercise participants. This study describes how the social environment can impact, both positively and negatively, someone’s susceptibility for CE and supports fostering social connections within group-exercise programs as a way to potentially combat harmful CE among its participants.

Published: July 2022

PurposeAs a result of the advancement of the online environment, several methodological proposals emerged to establish procedures for digital qualitative research. While the various online ethnography methods overlap, they are not equivalent in terms of their theoretical bases, procedures and goals. The purpose of this article is to add clarity to their main differences, depicting specificities, potentialities and limitations of each method.Design/methodology/approachThis conceptual article results from an integrative literature review that brought together studies that proposed, debated or used qualitative research methods in the digital environment. The research focused on the primary indexed journals publishing cultural studies in the past 20 years.FindingsThe literature review highlights four methods – virtual ethnography, digital ethnography, netnography and the post-application programming interface ethnography. The integrative literature review adds clarity depicting the main premises and procedures of each method. The present analysis positions the different methods considering two dimensions: the focus on the boundaries of the group/culture investigated, and the focus on the platform agency, affordances and specific dynamics.Originality/valueThe article proposes a comparative framework outlining points of convergence and divergence to create a reference for researchers on topics of significance while designing and conducting a research study in a digital environment. This conceptual organization highlights and supports qualitative researchers on their methodological challenges.
Supply chain stakeholder pressure for the adoption of sustainable supply chain practices: examining the roles of entrepreneurial and sustainability orientations
Authors: Vidal Natalia G. , Spetic Wellington , Croom Simon , Marshall Donna 
Published: July 2022

PurposeThis study examines the relationship between supply chain stakeholder pressure from customers and suppliers for the adoption of social and environmental sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices given the simultaneous conditional effects of both entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and sustainability orientation (SO).Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted a survey of US firms focused on their relationship with their top supplier or buyer by spend. This study used conditional process analysis to measure the relationship between stakeholder pressure and adoption of SSCM practices as well as the double moderation effects of EO and SO on this relationship.FindingsThe results show that both EO and SO simultaneously function as moderators of the effect of supply chain stakeholder pressure on the adoption of social and environmental SSCM practices. However, EO will only get firms so far in the adoption of SSCM practices. Once a strong SO takes effect, higher practice adoption ensues but the effect of stakeholder pressure weakens.Practical implicationsFor those firms that have lower levels of SO, EO and supply chain stakeholder pressure are still essential drivers for the adoption of SSCM practice. The results of this study suggest that focal firms should work closely with suppliers to increase their levels of SO while also maintaining pressure for the adoption of SSCM practices.Originality/valueThis study shows the concurrent effect of two organizational level drivers on the adoption of SSCM practices, indicating that efforts in developing a strong SO are more likely to prepare firms for the adoption of SSCM practices.
Regularized seismic amplitude inversion via variational inference
Authors: Zidan Ahmed , Li Yunyue , Cheng Arthur 
Published: July 2022

AbstractOver the years, seismic amplitude variation with offset has been successfully applied for predicting the elastic properties of the subsurface. Nevertheless, the solution of the amplitude inversion is not stable due to insufficient information in the recorded seismic data. To enhance the stability, various amplitude inversions under a Bayesian framework have been introduced and most of which are based on single‐component a priori probability densities, which can be solved deterministically. For multi‐component a priori densities, Monte Carlo sampling methods are often used to obtain the posterior distribution of the inverted parameters. The variational methods, on the other hand, provide the gradients of the parameters with respect to the data. Here, we present an inversion framework that uses the gradients of the variational inference as regularization. Due to the ill‐posedness of the amplitude inversion, solving the likelihood of the data leads to solutions that may exist within the low‐probability regions of the a priori density. The rule of the regularization (variational inference gradient) is, therefore, to force solutions within the high‐probability regions that enhance the stability of the inversion process. The performance of the regularization is tested using synthetic and field data examples to jointly estimate the elastic and Thomsen's anisotropy parameters. The proposed constrained optimization successfully predicts the P‐wave velocity, S‐wave velocity and P‐wave anisotropy and preferably constrains the density and near‐vertical anisotropy parameters.
Fallow deer foraging alone does not preserve the vegetation of traditionally sheep‐grazed calcareous grasslands
Authors: Rupprecht Denise , Jedrzejek Birgit , Hölzel Norbert 
Published: July 2022

Abstract

The goal of this study was to evaluate to what extent wild ungulates (fallow deer) can contribute to the maintenance of semi‐natural calcareous grasslands, which are a threatened habitat type (natura 2000 code *6210).

In a 10‐year exclosure experiment, we tested the effects of ungulate foraging using three treatments: (A) control with combined foraging of herded sheep and wild fallow deer, (B) sheep exclosure with only deer foraging and (C) total exclosure with no foraging.

Treatments not grazed by sheep (B, C) were characterized by significantly declining species numbers, litter accumulation and shrub encroachment. Despite high population densities, the effect of fallow deer alone (B) was weak: Succession of woody species was only partly inhibited, while annuals, short‐growing and rosette‐building plant species were strongly suppressed by litter accumulation.

Only the combination of sheep and fallow deer foraging preserved vegetation structure and species richness and led to a promotion of target species.

Synthesis and applications. We conclude that we need to continue the traditional land‐use forms such as sheep grazing in order to maintain calcareous grasslands. However, we should also raise our awareness for wild animals and analyse more in depth their potential contribution to the conservation management of open habitats.
Functional rarity and evolutionary uniqueness of threatened species across different scales and habitats in a Central European flora

Published: July 2022

Abstract

With the potential extinction of threatened species, communities and species pools could become functionally and phylogenetically impoverished, especially if threatened species had distinct traits and evolutionary histories compared to least concern species. Alternatively, threatened species would have similar traits and evolutionary histories, and their extinction could imply the loss of functionally and phylogenetically ‘redundant’ species.

We tested whether threatened plant species are functionally and phylogenetically rarer than least concern species. We considered two scales of plant assemblage (plots and species pools) from an intensively sampled temperate region (Czech Republic), using a sample of 23,072 vegetation plots classified into eight habitat groups. We analysed the traits and phylogeny of 1,730 species of angiosperms recorded in these plots.

We found that the potential loss of threatened species could have minor functional and phylogenetic consequences for the communities in any habitat and at each assemblage scale. However, detailed analysis of individual traits revealed that some threatened species tend to have some unique trait value, such as being small and having lighter seeds.

Phylogenetically unique species tended to be the most functionally rare, although this pattern was only weakly significant. This generally suggests similar conservation strategies for functionally rare and evolutionarily unique species.

Policy implications. We show how novel tools related to functional rarity and phylogenetic uniqueness could be used to understand the role of threatened species in communities and different habitat types. This allows to understand which species and habitats could provide great functional and phylogenetic contributions to biodiversity to better guide management and conservation programmes. To fully achieve this potential, greater efforts in collecting functional trait information for threatened species remain urgent as well as considering both individual and combined trait information when estimating the functional originality of species.
THE URBAN LAB: Imaginative Work in the City
Authors: Rahmawan‐Huizenga Sabrina , Ivanova Dara 
Published: July 2022

AbstractIn the field of city‐governance urban labs are being constructed as experimental spaces of knowledge production, innovation and urban governance. This perspective is mirrored in the majority of the literature engaging with the urban lab. However, empirical evidence shows that ‘urban labs’ are also constituted through imaginative work practices that remain unexplored in theory and practice. In order to address this gap and to delineate how these spaces matter for urban governance, this article critically examines urban lab projects in the city of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. We approach the initiatives under study from the perspective of the urban imaginary, which is shaped through three types of imaginative work—branding, dreaming and assimilating. These imaginative practices reveal how the process of constructing and practising the urban lab has political implications for the city. This point is important, as it brings up questions about urban governance and participation, such as who has access to, and who is allowed to imagine and experiment in, the city? In this way we connect the literature on urban imaginaries to debates on participation and experimental urban governance in the urban lab.
The arduous work of making claims in the wake of disaster: Perspectives from policyholders
Authors: Bourova Evgenia , Ramsay Ian , Ali Paul 
Published: July 2022

AbstractWith its promise of protection and peace of mind, insurance ownership is a key component of Australia’s national strategy to manage and spread costs of disaster recovery. We argue that an arduous and confusing claims process can have profound impacts on policyholders’ capacities to live safely in their homes as well as on their physical and mental health, finances, and levels of trust in insurers. Yet there has been little empirical research on policyholders’ experiences of putting this promise to the test by claiming on policies in the wake of disaster. In this article, we analyse interviews with policyholders who faced problems when making a building or home contents insurance claim following bushfire, flood, or storm. Evidence shows that aspects of claims processes place significant demands on policyholders’ financial and emotional resources, often in the aftermath of deeply traumatic and destabilising events. Our findings raise questions about the extent to which insurers’ claims handling processes and outcomes are consistent with requirements that call on insurers to respond efficiently, professionally, practically, and compassionately when and after disaster strikes.

Published: July 2022

AbstractBackgroundIdiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) in pregnancy is uncommon but may result in complications for both mother and the fetus.AimIn this systematic review, we summarized the current literature investigating outcomes of pregnancy related to the dermatomyositis/polymyositis (DM/PM) process.ContentWe searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases and included 61 studies reporting the disease course, pregnancy outcomes, and management of both pregnancy and DM/PM in the final analysis.The specific information of 221 pregnancies was extracted and these pregnancies were divided into three distinct forms: pregnancies after disease onset (n = 159), pregnancies with new disease onset (n = 37), and pregnancies followed by postpartum onset (n = 25). In most cases, DM/PM disease activity remained stable or improved throughout pregnancy (80.2%) and the postpartum period (83.9%). Active DM/PM during pregnancy significantly increased the risk of stillbirth or neonatal death (12% vs. 1%, P = .005) and preterm birth (34.7% vs. 11%, P < .001). The rates of other poor outcomes (total fetal loss, low birth weight, and intrauterine growth retardation) were also increased in pregnancies with active disease. Mainstay treatments for active DM/PM during pregnancy are glucocorticoids and intravenous immunoglobins.ImplicationsThe present results underline the importance of good control of myopathy in optimizing the pregnancy outcomes of women with DM/PM.

Published: July 2022

SummaryThe evidence base surrounding the transmission risk of ‘aerosol‐generating procedures’ has evolved primarily through quantification of aerosol concentrations during clinical practice. Consequently, infection prevention and control guidelines are undergoing continual reassessment. This mixed‐methods study aimed to explore the perceptions of practicing anaesthetists regarding aerosol‐generating procedures. An online survey was distributed to the Membership Engagement Group of the Royal College of Anaesthetists during November 2021. The survey included five clinical scenarios to identify the personal approach of respondents to precautions, their hospital's policies and the associated impact on healthcare provision. A purposive sample was selected for interviews to explore the reasoning behind their perceptions and behaviours in greater depth. A total of 333 survey responses were analysed quantitatively. Transcripts from 18 interviews were coded and analysed thematically. The sample was broadly representative of the UK anaesthetic workforce. Most respondents and their hospitals were aware of, supported and adhered to UK guidance. However, there were examples of substantial divergence from these guidelines at both individual and hospital level. For example, 40 (12%) requested respiratory protective equipment and 63 (20%) worked in hospitals that required it to be worn whilst performing tracheal intubation in SARS‐CoV‐2 negative patients. Additionally, 173 (52%) wore respiratory protective equipment whilst inserting supraglottic airway devices. Regarding the use of respiratory protective equipment and fallow times in the operating theatre: 305 (92%) perceived reduced efficiency; 376 (83%) perceived a negative impact on teamworking; 201 (64%) were worried about environmental impact; and 255 (77%) reported significant problems with communication. However, 269 (63%) felt the negative impacts of respiratory protection equipment were appropriately balanced against the risks of SARS‐CoV‐2 transmission. Attitudes were polarised about the prospect of moving away from using respiratory protective equipment. Participants' perceived risk from COVID‐19 correlated with concern regarding stepdown (Spearman's test, R = 0.36, p < 0.001). Attitudes towards aerosol‐generating procedures and the need for respiratory protective equipment are evolving and this information can be used to inform strategies to facilitate successful adoption of revised guidelines.

Published: July 2022

AbstractBackgroundArtificial organs are playing an increasingly important role in medical field. Artificial anal sphincter, as an example, is a widely used medical device for fecal incontinence. Though it could help patients maintain continence, the issue of perception reconstruction is still unsolved, which means that patients cannot control defecation as desired.MethodsIn this paper, a novel sensor system based on vector similarity has been analyzed and evaluated. The sensor system is a self‐packaged strain gauge sensor with a small size 14.5 mm × 6 mm, especially for medical device implanted in body to reconstruct perception function. In order to overcome the disadvantages of single threshold judgment, a more accurate and reliable judgment standard for content pressure detection in rectum is developed by using vector similarity method. Therefore, in the novel sensor system, standard multi‐parameters are comprehensive considered. Furthermore, weight‐optimization of sensors are investigated since each sensor has played a different role in detection. Finally, sensor calibration, in vitro and in vivo experiments are established.ResultsIn sensor calibration, the result R2 > 0.99 presents the strain gauge pressure sensor has a good linearity. After that, a series of in vitro experiments have been conducted. The optimized sensor system shows a high accuracy rate in perception reconstruction, which is 87.5% on early warning and 95% on the alarm. In the following in vivo experiments. The results indicate that the average accuracy of the proposed perception reconstruction module has increased by 17.7%, compared with that without optimized sensor system.ConclusionsAll of these have proven that the novel perception reconstruction module with sensor system based on vector similarity is more acceptable and reliable.
A deontic perspective on organizational citizenship behavior toward the environment: The contribution of anticipated guilt
Authors: Raineri Nicolas , Hericher Corentin , Mejía‐Morelos Jorge Humberto , Paillé Pascal 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis study draws on deontic justice theory to examine an unexplored socioemotional micro‐foundation of corporate social responsibility (CSR), namely anticipated guilt, in an effort to improve our understanding of employees’ moral reactions to their organization’s CSR. We empirically investigate whether environmental CSR induces anticipated guilt (i.e., concerns about future guilt for not contributing to organizational CSR) leading to organizational environmental citizenship behavior. We also consider two boundary conditions related to the social nature of anticipated guilt: line manager support for the environment and negative environmental group norms. To test our hypotheses, we analyzed data from a convenience sample of 503 managers working in Mexican organizations, using Latent Moderated Structural equation modeling. Overall, our results support the deontic argument that employees care about CSR because CSR embodies moral concerns. Specifically, our findings show that efforts to avoid a guilty conscience increase when the line manager provides increased resources and control to act for the environment, and when group members do not care for the environment, suggesting that employees feel they have to compensate for their group’s moral failure.

Published: July 2022

AbstractBackgroundEarly warning systems (EWS) are used across health care settings as a tool for the early identification of clinical deterioration and to determine the need to escalate care. Early detection of clinical deterioration and appropriate escalation of care in maternity settings is critical to the safety of pregnant women and infants; however, underutilization of EWS tools and reluctance to escalate care have been consistently reported. Little is known about midwives' use of EWS in the Australian context.MethodsUsing a cross‐sectional approach, we elicited the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors of a purposive sample of Australian midwives (n = 87) with respect to the Maternal Early Warning Trigger Tool (MEWT). Participants answered a 25‐question Likert scale survey and one open‐ended question. Qualitative answers were analyzed using consensus coding.ResultsMidwives reported positive attitudes toward the MEWT, describing it as a valuable tool for identifying clinical deterioration, especially when used as an adjunct to clinical judgment. However, midwives also identified training gaps; 25% had received no training, and only half of those who had received training felt it was effective. In addition, professional tension can create a significant barrier to the effective use of the MEWT. Midwives also reported feeling influenced by their peers in their decision‐making with respect to use of the MEWT and being afraid they would be chastised for escalating care unnecessarily.ConclusionsAlthough the MEWT is valued by Australian midwives as a useful tool, barriers exist to its effective use. These include a lack of adequate, ongoing training and professional tension. Improving interdisciplinary collaboration could enhance the use of this tool for the safety of birthing women and their infants.
