SummaryThe large majority of mitochondrial proteins is synthesized in the cytosol and then imported to the organelle. To ensure proper mitochondrial functions, the quality of these proteins needs to be guaranteed. Here, we show that the E3 ubiquitin ligase F-box/LRR-repeat protein 6 (FBXL6) participates to the quality of these mitochondrial proteins at the level of the cytosolic translation. We found that lack of FBXL6 has severe effects including mitochondrial ribosomal protein aggregations, altered mitochondrial metabolism and inhibited cell cycle progression in oxidative conditions. FBXL6 was found to interact specifically with ribosomal-associated quality control proteins and chaperones involved in the regulation of newly synthesized proteins and also it preferentially binds newly synthesized mitochondrial ribosomal proteins. Consistently, deletion of the RQC protein, NEMF or HSP70-family chaperone HSPA1A impedes FBXL6 interaction with its substrate. In addition, cells lacking FBXL6 display altered degradation of defective mitochondrial ribosomal protein containing C-terminal alanyl-threonyl extension.
Framing the use of performance management in universities: the paradox of business disciplines
Authors: Hyndman Noel , Liguori Mariannunziata 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThis paper explores how performance-management systems are understood and framed through the use of rhetoric and language within universities, where not-for-profit, charitable goals are (or should be) central. It addresses the issues of: how strategic rhetorical frames are used by university actors; and how these relate to actors' primary frames and reactions to performance-management practices. The study focuses on the case of UK universities, taking into consideration both old and newer institutions.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopts a case-study approach, relying on 28 interviews with key-academic actors involved in the design and implementation of university performance-management systems in four UK universities.FindingsThe research highlights the important effect of primary frames over the strategic frames that are mobilised to achieve desired outcomes or individual advantage. In Business disciplines, the consistency between actors' primary frames and managerial and performance-management tools introduced into universities makes such disciplines a fertile ground for these practices to be embraced. This is not the case with Natural Sciences.Practical implicationsWhile framing a new practice consistently with existing/prevailing primary frames may be a winning strategy in the short term, in the long term, those tasked with introducing new practices should consider that the prevalence of a certain view of the world has the potential to hamper innovation and learning.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to advance our understanding of the interaction between individual primary and strategic frames, as well as academic staff's reactions and interpretations of performance-management practices in universities as knowledge-intensive, not-for-profit organisations.
DEIM-embedded hybrid snapshot simulation for reduced order model generation
Authors: Bai Feng , Wang Yi 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to establish an intelligent framework to generate the data representatives in snapshot simulation in order to construct the online reduced-order model based on the generated data information. It could greatly reduce the computational time in snapshot simulation and accelerate the computational efficiency in the real-time computation of reduced-order modeling.Design/methodology/approachThe snapshot simulation, which generates the data to construct reduced-order models (ROMs), usually is computationally demanding. In order to accelerate the snapshot generation, this paper presents a discrete element interpolaiton method (DEIM)-embedded hybrid simulation approach, in which the entire snapshot simulation is partitioned into multiple intervals of equal length. One of the three models: the full order model (FOM), local ROM, or local ROM-DEIM which represents a hierarchy of model approximations, fidelities and computational costs, will be adopted in each interval.FindingsThe outcome of the proposed snapshot simulation is an efficient ROM-DEIM applicable to various online simulations. Compared with the traditional FOM and the hybrid method without DEIM, the proposed method is able to accelerate the snapshot simulation by 54.4%–63.91% and 10.5%–27.85%, respectively. In the online simulation, ROM-DEIM only takes 4.81%–8.56% of the computational time of FOM, while preserving excellent accuracy (with relative error <1%).Originality/value1. A DEIM-embedded hybrid snapshot simulation methodology is proposed to accelerate snapshot data generation and reduced-order model (ROM)-DEIM development. 2. The simulation alternates among FOM, ROM and ROM-DEIM to adaptively generate snapshot data of salient subspace representation while minimizing computational load. 3. The DEIM-embedded hybrid snapshot approach demonstrates excellent accuracy (<1% error) and computational efficiency in both online snapshot simulation and online ROM-DEIM verification simulation.
Choice consistency and inconsistency between self- and gift-purchases: the role of attitude functions
Authors: Lyu Dong , Moosmayer Dirk , Ding Hao , Jin Jia 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to explore when and why consumers hold inconsistent and consistent choices between self- and gift-purchases.

Design/methodology/approach
Across three paper-based questionnaire experiments, the authors examine how consumers’ preferences for desirability and feasibility vary with purchase types (self- vs gift-purchases) based on the functional theories of attitudes. The authors examine consumers’ attitude functions and their self-monitoring closely associated with chronic attitude functions.

Findings
The findings show that the social adjustive function moderates whether consumers hold consistent or inconsistent preferences across the two purchases. Specifically, consumers generally rely more on desirability in gift-purchases than self-purchases, whereas this inconsistent preference only exists when the social adjustive function is comparable or advantaged to the utilitarian function. When the social adjustive function is significantly disadvantaged relative to the utilitarian function, consumers consistently prefer feasibility irrespective of self- or gift-purchases.

Research limitations/implications
The research contributes to the familiar topic of consumers’ choice trade-offs between self- and gift-purchases. It documents the moderating role of the social adjustive function of consumers’ attitudes in whether they hold consistent or inconsistent choices across the two purchases. This extends the extensive research on self-other decisions.

Practical implications
The findings strongly suggest retailers identify or manipulate consumers’ attitude functions to make the attitude functions align with the purchase type when recommending products.

Originality/value
Most relevant literature focuses on exploring choice differences between self- and gift-purchases. This research not only explores the choice differences but also attempts to find the condition under which people’s choices do not differ between the two purchases.

Published: November 2022

PurposeUsing a soft-hard continuum of drivers and barriers, this research seeks to explain wood companies' adoption of circular economy (CE) practices.Design/methodology/approachMultiple interviews, complemented by secondary documents and site observations were used to investigate three wood-based companies that have adopted CE practices. The 10R framework and soft-hard continuum are used to guide data analysis.FindingsThe adoption of 10R practices were explained by soft-factor incentives of leaders' values and vision and openness for innovation, all within a regulatory void, and eventually overcome hard-factor barriers of process development, supply chain capability and customer behaviours at product end-of-life.Practical implicationsCrucial for CE model adoption are leaders' positive attitudes, subsequently grown across the companies. The 10Rs are a prompt for CE practice adoption to capture and retain value and generate revenue. Collaboration across the supply chain, including customers and other value capture companies (e.g. repurposing companies), is essential to maximise value retention. Government should play an increased soft-factor incentive regulatory role and support CE practices to overcome hard-factor barriers.Originality/valueThis study contributes an explanation of CE adoption within a relatively unsupported context. Despite the regulatory void, CE practice adoption was driven by leader values. To achieve their vision and overcome the numerous barriers, suppliers and customers required a large investment in education. Indeed, customer behaviour, previously thought to be an incentive for CE adoption, is also identified as a barrier.
Lecturers' personality traits and affective states amidst the COVID-19 pandemic: estimating a theory-driven longitudinal model using the novel PLSe2 methodology
Authors: Ghasemy Majid 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThis longitudinal study aims at assessing the impact of openness to experience and neuroticism on affective states experienced by the academics from the Malaysian public universities during the first strict COVID-19 lockdown in 2020.Design/methodology/approachThe author collected data for openness to experience and neuroticism at the beginning of the lockdown, and for positive and negative affect, when the lockdown ended. The author used the efficient partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLSe2-SEM) methodology to fit the model to the screened data (N = 291).FindingsThe results showed that openness to experience had a negative effect on negative affect and a positive effect on positive affect. The author also observed that neuroticism had a positive effect on negative affect and a negative effect on positive affect. These findings provided support for the proposition of the impact of personality traits on affective states amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in academic settings.Practical implicationsThe study shows that careful assessment of lecturers' personality traits should be considered during the process of selection and recruitment since these factors, theoretically and empirically, trigger affective states which, in turn, lead to behaviors and attitudes.Originality/valueThis is the first study on examining the impact of academics' personality traits on their affective states. Also, it is amongst the few longitudinal studies on evaluating personality traits during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a methodological novelty, the author used the PLSe2 methodology to test the model and compared the results with maximum likelihood (ML) results.
Counterattacking long videos: exploring the characteristics of popular instant videos and roles of producers and viewers
Authors: Chi Yanyan , Park Eunil 
Published: November 2022

PurposeRecently, analyses of the characteristics of viral content in the social media field have attracted considerable attention. However, the influence of instant videos has grown significantly, and most social media platforms have begun to introduce them.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted a series of independent-samples t-tests using a large-scale data set collected from the YouTube Shorts platform to identify the characteristics of popular instant videos and discussions surrounding them. The authors further analyzed how they differ from other viral content.FindingsThe results indicate that viewers leave varied variety of comments based on the topic of conversation in the community, rather than on the video itself. Furthermore, video producers and viewers attempt to reach a consensus in a straightforward and intuitive manner. All analyzed texts contained appropriate attitudes and tendencies according to their roles on the platform.Originality/valueThis study aimed to discover and understand the video and conversational characteristics of popular instant videos, which differ from the existing widely known viral content.
The response to freehold growth information when estimating ground leasehold value
Authors: Pope Alan Richard , Squires Graham , Young Martin 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThis paper is concerned with behavioural responses to reviewed ground rents in New Zealand. The focus is on how freehold growth information is interpreted when considering reviewed ground rents on ground leasehold value.Design/methodology/approachSemi-structured interviews were conducted with ground leaseholders to inform the design of a controlled experiment. The interviews revealed that (a) purchasers tended to directly compare freeholds to ground leaseholds and (b) used rudimentary valuation methods. In the experiment, 40 property investors were requested to estimate the ground leasehold value close to the ground rent review time. Thereafter, 20 of the investors reassessed their ground leasehold value estimate using a projection of the future ground rent and a statement as to freehold growth (treatment). The control group of the remaining 20 investors received the estimate of the future ground rent only.FindingsThe tendency for higher treatment group valuations indicated the growth information was too available. Comparing ground leaseholds directly to freeholds, rather than thinking about the cost implications, is attributed to a manifestation of the availability heuristic.Research limitations/implicationsThe study involves a typical ground lease arrangement (as verified by experts) in the New Zealand market where there are few protections for ground leaseholders. These findings justify prohibiting new ground leases where the ground rents are set by reference to freehold land value.Originality/valueThis paper extends behavioural theory (availability heuristic) to explaining human interaction with ground leaseholds.
Sedimentology and Paleoenvironmental Characteristics of Fine‐grained Sediments in Coal‐bearing Strata in the Eastern Ordos Basin: A Case Study of the Exploratory Well in the Zizhou Area

Published: November 2022

AbstractThe continuously collected cores from the Permo–Carboniferous coal‐bearing strata of the eastern Ordos Basin are essential for studying the hydrocarbon potential in this region. This study adopted sedimentological and geochemical methods to analyze the sedimentary environment, material composition, and geochemical characteristics of the coal‐bearing strata. The differences in depositional and paleoclimatic conditions were compared; and the factors influencing the organic matter content of fine‐grained sediments were explored. The depositional environment of the Benxi and Jinci formations was lagoon to tidal flat with weakly reduced waters with low salinity and dry‐hot paleoclimatic conditions; while that of the Taiyuan Formation was a carbonate platform and shallow water delta front, where the water was highly reductive. The xerothermic climate alternated with the warm and humid climate. The period of maximum transgression in the Permo–Carboniferous has the highest water salinity. The Shanxi Formation was deposited in a shallow water delta front with a brackish and fresh water environment and alternative weak reductiveness. And the paleoclimate condition is dry‐hot. The TOC content in fine‐grained samples was averaging 1.52%. The main controlling mechanism of organic matter in this area was the input conditions according to the analysis on input and preservation of organic matter.
abmR: An R package for agent‐based model analysis of large‐scale movements across taxa
Authors: Gochanour Benjamin , Fernández‐López Javier , Contina Andrea 
Published: November 2022

Abstract

Agent‐based modelling (ABM) shows promise for animal movement studies. However, a robust, open‐source and spatially explicit ABM coding platform is currently lacking.

We present abmR, an R package for conducting continental‐scale ABM simulations across animal taxa. The package features two movement functions, each of which relies on the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) process.

The theoretical background for abmR is discussed and the main functionalities are illustrated using example populations.

Potential future additions to this open‐source package may include the ability to specify multiple environmental variables or to model interactions between agents. Additionally, updates may offer opportunities for disease ecology and integration with other R movement modelling packages.

Published: November 2022

AbstractEducational technologies in veterinary medicine aim to train veterinarians faster and improve clinical outcomes. COVID‐19 pandemic, shifted face‐to‐face teaching to online, thus, the need to provide effective education remotely was exacerbated. Among recent technology advances for veterinary medical education, extended reality (XR) is a promising teaching tool. This study aimed to develop a case resolution approach for radiographic anatomy studies using XR technology and assess students' achievement of differential diagnostic skills. Learning objectives based on Bloom's taxonomy keywords were used to develop four clinical cases (3 dogs/1 cat) of spinal injuries utilizing CT scans and XR models and presented to 22 third‐year veterinary medicine students. Quantitative assessment (ASMT) of 7 questions probing ‘memorization’, ‘understanding and application’, ‘analysis’ and ‘evaluation’ was given before and after contact with XR technology as well as qualitative feedback via a survey. Mean ASMT scores increased during case resolution (pre 51.6% (±37%)/post 60.1% (± 34%); p < 0.01), but without significant difference between cases (Kruskal–Wallis H = 2.18, NS). Learning objectives were examined for six questions (Q1–Q6) across cases (C1‐4): Memorization improved sequentially (Q1, 2 8/8), while Understanding and Application (Q3,4) showed the greatest improvement (26.7%–76.9%). Evaluation and Analysis (Q5,6) was somewhat mixed, improving (5/8), no change (3/8) and declining (1/8).Positive student perceptions suggest that case studies' online delivery was well received stimulating learning in diagnostic imaging and anatomy while developing visual–spatial skills that aid understanding cross‐sectional images. Therefore, XR technology could be a useful approach to complement radiological instruction in veterinary medicine
Effects of environmental factors on the distribution of flagship species in Bomfobiri Wildlife Sanctuary, Kumawu, Ghana: Implications for conservation and ecotourism development
Authors: Acquah Emmanuel , Nsor Collins Ayine , Boadi Samuel , Owusu Edwin Agyapong 
Published: November 2022

AbstractSustainable ecotourism development and conservation depend on understanding factors that affect flagship species. This study analysed environmental factors and their effects on flagship species: African buffalo (Syncerus caffer), red‐river hog (Potamochoerus porcus), olive baboon (Papio anubis), duiker (Cephalophus spp.), and crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) distribution in Bomfobiri Wildlife Sanctuary (BWS). Secondary data (camp reports 2017–2019) showed flagship species distribution across four vegetation types in 14 sites. Field observations were used to reconstruct camp report information using GPS coordinates to show animal distribution. Environmental factors were assessed based on the scope and severity of their threats to the species. PAST ver.3.06 was used to analyse animal and vegetation data. A total of 995 individual animals were recorded. Riverine forest (n = 325) had the highest, followed by semi‐deciduous (n = 316), and woodland Savanna (n = 192). Bushfire was the major predictive factor on animal distribution, followed by grazing pressure, farming activities, elevation, and erosion. These findings imply that an increased scale of disturbances reduces the chance of sighting flagship animals. A higher concentration of these species in riverine and semi‐deciduous forests calls for increased patrols as a conservation measure. Constructing viewing platforms and hiking trails in areas of higher animal activity would improve ecotourism development.
Tangible policy framework for affordable housing in India: Analysis and policy Prescriptions
Authors: Biswas Sampriti , Prakash Pranay 
Published: November 2022

AbstractProvision of “affordable” housing is increasingly becoming an extremely challenging as well as complex issue. There is no tailor‐made, well‐defined definition of “affordable” where urban housing is concerned. Large metropolitan cities such as Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, and so forth, have teeming populations living in large slums. The Burrabazar or Bara Bazar area in Central Kolkata is extremely populous. This also shows how dire the necessity of proper shelter for these poor migrants as well as other laborers and poor of the area. A sample of 100 laborers (both migrants as well as locals) was selected randomly and surveyed with a questionnaire comprising 41 main questions from the Burrabazar area, starting from the Ganesh Talkies area. The respondents were semiskilled to unskilled workers involved in physically hazardous occupations like handheld rickshaw pullers, “mutiyahs,” manual scavengers, small deliverymen, domestic help, and so forth, mainly in the age group of 25–55 years. The entire sample survey was started and carried out in the month of February 2016 in all the wards of Burrabazar. A two‐pronged approach is suggested as a remedy for this problem of an affordable place to stay. The first is to provide hostel‐type “homes” where they will be able to stay in groups and obtain meals at cheap prices. It will be of a minimum value so that not only they obtain a safe and secure place to stay, and a bed but also at least a couple of healthy and nutritious meals as well as medicines (in times of emergency). The second option is “mobile homes.” This is not only a very interesting concept but is also extremely useful. Since these mobile homes can be moved they can be kept anywhere with proper permission from the municipality and the other concerned authorities, say the local police. But then, effective guidelines must be there to identify the beneficiaries properly.
