Authors: Riedel Aimee , Mulcahy Rory , Beatson Amanda , Keating Byron 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to report on the first comprehensive, social marketing systematic review of interventions targeting illicit drug use by young adults.

Design/methodology/approach
A total of 3,169 papers were screened, with 20 relevant empirical studies meeting the eligibility criteria for the systematic review. These were analysed according to Andreasen’s (2002) and NSMC’s (2006) social marketing benchmarks.

Findings
The findings provide evidence regarding the efficacy of behavioural and clinical interventions targeting individuals and groups, including motivational, life skills training, cognitive behavioural therapy, comprehensive health and social risk assessments and buprenorphine treatment interventions. Further, results evidence that there is yet to be an intervention which has implemented the full marketing mix, and limited studies have used the social marketing benchmarks of exchange and competition.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to conduct a comprehensive systematic review and provide key recommendations outlining the potential for social marketing to support the improved uptake and efficacy of interventions. A research agenda is also put forward to direct future social marketing scholarship in the area of young adult drug interventions.

Published: January 2022

PurposeJob performance (JP) of employees is a key indicator of success for any organization; however, job performance is dependent on many factors including personal and organizational. The current study aims to investigate this phenomenon concerning the quality of work-life (QoWL).Design/methodology/approachThe study design was quantitative, and a questionnaire was filled by 130 professional librarians based on a convenient sampling technique. The research population was academic information professionals (IPs) serving the university libraries of Lahore, Pakistan. Data were analyzed using SPSS (20.0).FindingsJob career satisfaction is proved a key indicator of JP along with job control and general well-being (GWB). Counterproductive work behavior (CWB), which is a negative behavior, is significantly affected by poor job satisfaction (JS), stress, feelings of unhappiness and low workplace autonomy.Practical implicationsThe study suggests that if poor JS, stress, feelings of unhappiness and low workplace autonomy could be manipulated positively, CWB may be reduced and there are chances to improve the JP of IPs.Originality/valueThis is one of the first attempts that focuses on QoWL and its impact on JP of IPs. The study findings may help leaders and library administration to take employees' friendly decisions to provide a conducive work environment.
Business employability for late millennials: exploring the perceptions of generation Z students and generation X faculty
Authors: Kyrousi Antigone G. , Tzoumaka Eugenia , Leivadi Stella 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
The paper aims to explore employability in business as perceived by Generation Z (late millennials) business students and faculty. It focuses on perceptions regarding necessary employability skills from the diverse standpoints of two different groups of stakeholders within one Higher Education Institution.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper uses a Mixed Qualitative Design approach including a core and a supplementary component; Generation Z student perceptions are initially identified through a thematic analysis of students’ research reports on employability. These perceptions are then further contextualized through findings from a series of personal interviews conducted with Generation X academics in the same institution.

Findings
The findings support the two basic dimensions of perceived employability, work readiness and employability skills, for which students and educators hold similar notions. Both stakeholders distinguish between “hard” and “soft” skills, but filter their relative importance through a generational lens. An emerging finding was the link between personality traits and perceived employability skills.

Originality/value
The paper examines the much-debated issue of perceived employability through the eyes of Generation Z students; research on employability perceptions of Generation Z is, to date, limited. The topic is timely, as Generation Z is the newest generation entering the business job market. In addition, the paper adds to the emerging contemporary stream of literature exploring employability in the field of business education.
From conventional to digital leadership: exploring digitalization of leadership and innovative work behavior
Authors: Erhan Tuğba , Uzunbacak Hasan Huseyin , Aydin Erhan 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
The leadership shift from conventional to digital comes from the compulsory digitalization of the workplace because the technological progress provides the opportunity of doing work remotely, and this is a great advantage of reducing costs that stem from the offline workplace. Thus, this research aims at demonstrating the relationship between digitalization of leadership and innovative work behavior.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected from 320 Turkish department managers in the Textile Industry through digital leadership and innovate work behavior scales. The hypotheses were tested using path analysis. The analyses were conducted by using SPSS and AMOS package programs.

Findings
The results show that the employees’ perceptions of digital leadership have a positive and significant effect on all dimensions of an employee innovative work behavior. Also, the leaders with high digital skills were perceived positively by the employees and the employees tend to adapt innovative behaviors when they have the digitally skilled leaders.

Originality/value
This study contributes to leadership research by providing evidence for the role of leadership shift in innovative work behavior. Extending the verification of leadership shift in innovative work behavior that can be adopted in Turkey has also been considered.

Authors: Abdelsalam Amir A. , El-Sabbagh Salwa H. , Mohamed Wael S. , Li Jian , Wang Lihua , Ismail Hanafi , Abdelmoneim Ahmed , Khozami Mohsen A. 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to study the effects of various compatibilisers (maleic anhydride (MAH), methyl methacrylate/butyl acrylate emulsion lattice, and adhesion system (HRH)) on properties of carbon black (CB) filled with natural rubber (NR)/styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)/ nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) blends). A series of NR/SBR/NBR blends at a 30/30/40 blend ratio reinforced with 45 phr of CB was prepared using the master-batch method.

Design/methodology/approach
The tensile properties such as the tensile strength, stress at 100, 200 and 300% elongations, and elongation at break (EB)% were studied. Additionally, the morphological properties of compatibilised and uncompatibilised composites were compared to determine the optimal compatibiliser content.

Findings
The influence of compatibilisers appeared on all the properties studied. The properties of the blends compatibilised with prepared emulsion are very distinct from those of blends compatibilised with MAH and adhesion systems.

Research limitations/implications
Interactions among the different components of blends at the interfaces have a high impact on the interfacial properties of the rubber blend.

Practical implications
Compatibilisers significantly improve the physicomechanical properties of the resulting composites with the loading of investigated compatibilisers because of the uniform dispersion of CB in the rubber matrix.

Social implications
Using blends in the rubber industry leads to high-efficiency production of low-cost products.

Originality/value
The rubber blending has a significant positive effect on a wide range of applications such as structural applications, aerospace, military, packaging, tires and biomedical. Hence, improving the compatibility of blends will make new materials suitable for new applications.

Published: January 2022

Purpose
The potential for burn injuries arises from contact with a hot surface, flame, hot liquid and steam hazards. The purpose of this study is to develop the flame retardant acrylic and cotton blend textile finished with Enset Ventricosum pseudostem sap (EPS).

Design/methodology/approach
The two fabric was produced from (30% acrylic with 70% cotton) and (35% acrylic with 65% cotton) blend. The extracted sap was made alkaline and applied on two mordanted blend fabrics. The effect of blend ratio, the concentration of EPS and treatment time on flammability, Flame retardant properties of both the control and the treated fabrics were analyzed in terms of vertical flammability based on the design of the experiment software using central composite design. The air permeability and tensile strength of treated and controlled fabric were measured.

Findings
The blended fabrics at different blended ratios were flame retardant with an optimized result of burning time 2.902 min and 2.775 min and char length 6.442 cm and 7.332 cm in the warp and weft direction, respectively, at a concentration of 520 ml and time 33.588 min. There was a slight significant change in mechanical strengths and air permeability. The thermal degradation and the pyrolysis of the fabric samples were studied using thermogravimetric analysis and the chemical composition by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy abbreviated as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The wash durability of the treated fabric at different blend ratios was carried out for the optimized sample and the test result shows that the flame retardancy property is durable up to 15 washes.

Originality/value
Development of flame retardant cotton and acrylic blend textile fabric finish with ESP was studied; this work provides application of EPS for flame resistance which is optimized statically and successfully applied for a flame retardant property on cotton-acrylic blend fabric.
Validation of design and materials for additive manufacturing of endocavitary mechanical distractor
Authors: Sierra Jose Manuel , Fernandez Maria del Rocio , Rodriguez Garcia Jose Ignacio Ignacio , Cortizo Jose Luis , Villazon Marta María 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
This paper describes the evolution of the design of a mechanical distractor fabricated using additive manufacturing (AM) technology for use in surgical procedures, such as transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM). The functionality of the final device was analysed and the suitability of different materials was determined.

Design/methodology/approach
Solid modelling and finite element modelling software were used in the design and validation process to allow the fabrication of the device by AM. Several prototypes were manufactured and tested in this study.

Findings
A new design was developed to greatly simplify the existing devices used in TEM surgery. The new design is easy to use, more economical and does not require pneumorectum. Different AM materials were investigated with regard to their mechanical properties, orientation of parts in the three-dimensional (3D) printer and cytotoxicity to select the optimal material for the design.

Social implications
The device designed by AM can be printed anywhere in the world, provided that a 3D printer is available; the 3D printer does not have to be a high-performance printer. This makes surgery more accessible, particularly in low-income regions. Moreover, patient recovery is improved and pneumorectum is not required.

Originality/value
A suitable mechanical distractor was designed for TEM, and different materials were validated for fabrication by AM.
Competition–colonisation trade‐offs are found among but not within wind‐dispersed Pinus species
Authors: Wyse Sarah V. , Hulme Philip E. 
Published: January 2022

Abstract

The competition–colonisation trade‐off is recognised as a key mechanism for diversity maintenance, whereby weak competitors can avoid competition with stronger competitors due to their greater dispersal ability. To date, most theoretical and empirical work has focused on trade‐offs among different species yet a within‐species perspective is crucial to assess the scope for natural selection on competition–colonisation trade‐offs.

For six wind‐dispersed Pinus species encompassing a wide range of seed masses, we examined whether within and among species there was evidence that heavier seeds typically disperse shorter distances but produce seedlings that are stronger competitors with a higher likelihood of successful establishment, under different treatment conditions.

Within species, we found seedling establishment to be independent of diaspore terminal velocity (a measure of dispersal potential), which would maximise the variation in potential dispersal distances and locations reached by the seeds shed from a parent tree, and therefore the chances that some offspring will reach a favourable recruitment site. However, among Pinus species the likelihood of seedling emergence and survival was higher in species that produce heavier seeds with higher terminal velocity.

We found a marked competition–colonisation trade‐off among all six species consistent with expectations from coexistence theory. In contrast, within species, there was no evidence of competition–colonisation trade‐offs for any species, despite differences in the relationships between diaspore mass and terminal velocity. This is consistent with weak selection within species for a competition–colonisation trade‐off. The results suggest that within‐species trade‐offs do not influence the risk of invasive spread.

Towards shared prosperity in sub‐Saharan Africa: How does the effect of economic integration compare to social equity policies?
Authors: Ofori Isaac K. , Cantah William G. , Afful Benedict , Hossain Saddam 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThis study extends the inclusive growth literature on sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) by addressing two conspicuous gaps. First, the study examines the effects of social equity policies and economic integration on inclusive growth. Second, the study investigates the joint effects of economic integration and resource allocation on inclusive growth. Using data on 43 SSA countries for the period 1980–2019, we provide robust evidence from the GMM estimator to show that relative to economic integration, social equity policies are rather remarkable in enhancing inclusive growth. The results further reveal that, although economic integration induces inclusive growth, the effect is pronounced in the presence of productive resource allocation. Policy recommendations are provided in line with the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement and the reversals of welfare gains due to the coronavirus pandemic.

AbstractBackgroundTo investigate the different efficacies of glycemic control between basal and premixed insulin in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) when non‐insulin medications fail to reach treatment targets.MethodsThis was a prospective, large‐scale, real‐world study at 10 diabetes centers in China. Between June 2017 and June 2021, we enrolled 1104 T2DM participants initiated with either once‐daily basal insulin or twice‐daily premixed insulin when the glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) control target was not met after at least two non‐insulin agents were administered. A Cox proportional hazards regression model adjusting for multiple influencing factors was performed to compare the different effects of basal and premixed insulin on reaching the HbA1c control target.ResultsAt baseline, basal insulin (57.3%) was prescribed more frequently than premixed insulin (42.7%). Patients with a higher body mass index (BMI) or higher HbA1c levels were more likely to receive premixed insulin than basal insulin (both p < 0.001). After a median follow‐up of 12.0 months, compared to those with premixed insulin, the hazard ratio for reaching the HbA1c target to those with basal insulin was 1.10 (95% CI, 0.92‐1.31; p = 0.29) after adjustment, and less weight gain was observed in those with basal insulin than with premixed insulin (percentage change of BMI from baseline −0.37[5.50]% vs 3.40[6.73]%, p < 0.0001).ConclusionsIn this real‐world study, once‐daily basal insulin was more frequently prescribed and had similar glycemic control effects but less weight gain compared with twice‐daily premixed insulin when used as initiation therapy for those in whom glycemic control with non‐insulin medications failed.

Perceptions of support in shelter environments for caregivers and young children experiencing family homelessness
Authors: Vrabic Sarah C. , Herbers Janette E. , Davis Mariah , Thomas Courtney 
Published: January 2022

AbstractBackgroundYoung children who stay with their families in homeless shelters face chronic challenges related to extreme poverty and acute risks from stressful events surrounding the loss of housing and move to shelter. These adversities increase the likelihood of a range of poor developmental outcomes. Consistent with the risk and resilience perspective, however, many children who experience family homelessness succeed, functioning as well or better than their non‐homeless peers. As such, efforts to support resilience should consider how best to enhance protective factors, such as supportive environments within shelter settings.MethodsWith data from 60 caregivers of children ages birth to 5 years recruited from family shelters, we assessed caregivers' perceptions of community support as well as child and family well‐being in terms of recent adverse experiences, parenting stress, access to social support, and child social–emotional functioning.ResultsMany caregivers experiencing family homelessness perceived negative aspects of the shelters where they were staying with their children. Furthermore, children whose caregivers had more negative perceptions of the shelter environment displayed worse social–emotional functioning, even when accounting for differences in parenting stress, recent family adversity, and other sources of social support.ConclusionsBecause young children rely on their caregivers as primary resources for nurturance and support, we encourage family homelessness service providers to work in partnership with caregivers to create more inclusive and empowering practices within the shelter context. Doing so is likely to improve children's developmental outcomes and the overall well‐being of the families.
Teletherapy for children with developmental disorders during the COVID‐19 pandemic in the Philippines: A mixed‐methods evaluation from the perspectives of parents and therapists
Authors: Eguia Kathlynne F. , Capio Catherine M. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractObjectivesAs a response to the lockdown associated with COVID‐19 in the Philippines, therapy services for children with developmental disorders shifted to telehealth (i.e., teletherapy). This study evaluated the delivery of teletherapy from the perspectives of parents and therapists.MethodsParticipants consisted of parents (n = 47) and therapists (n = 102) of children with developmental disorders who were receiving teletherapy during the lockdown. A mixed‐methods triangulation design‐convergence model was adopted; participants were invited to respond to an online survey with closed‐ and open‐ended questions. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and non‐parametric inferential tests, while qualitative data were examined using thematic analysis.ResultsOverall satisfaction with teletherapy was positive, with parents reporting significantly higher satisfaction compared with therapists. Satisfaction was positively associated with the frequency of teletherapy sessions for parents and with their years of experience for therapists. The top enabling factors were family participation and effective communication. The main challenges were time constraints and difficulty with instruction and monitoring associated with the two‐dimensional nature of teletherapy. The benefits included parents' empowerment and enhanced understanding of their children's needs.DiscussionDelivery of teletherapy was enabled by a heightened focus on family‐centred care. The evaluation findings suggest that the general satisfaction with teletherapy and the benefits associated with family‐centred care would potentially promote teletherapy as a service delivery mode to continue beyond the pandemic.
