Time-dependent metrics to assess performance prediction systems
Authors: Ben Soussia Amal , Labba Chahrazed , Roussanaly Azim , Boyer Anne 
Published: September 2022

PurposeThe goal is to assess performance prediction systems (PPS) that are used to assist at-risk learners.Design/methodology/approachThe authors propose time-dependent metrics including earliness and stability. The authors investigate the relationships between the various temporal metrics and the precision metrics in order to identify the key earliness points in the prediction process. Authors propose an algorithm for computing earliness. Furthermore, the authors propose using an earliness-stability score (ESS) to investigate the relationship between the earliness of a classifier and its stability. The ESS is used to examine the trade-off between only time-dependent metrics. The aim is to compare its use to the earliness-accuracy score (EAS).FindingsStability and accuracy are proportional when the system's accuracy increases or decreases over time. However, when the accuracy stagnates or varies slightly, the system's stability is decreasing rather than stagnating. As a result, the use of ESS and EAS is complementary and allows for a better definition of the point of earliness in time by studying the relation-ship between earliness and accuracy on the one hand and earliness and stability on the other.Originality/valueWhen evaluating the performance of PPS, the temporal dimension is an important factor that is overlooked by traditional measures current metrics are not well suited to assessing PPS’s ability to predict correctly at the earliest, as well as monitoring predictions stability and evolution over time. Thus, in this work, the authors propose time-dependent metrics, including earliness, stability and the trade-offs, with objective to assess PPS over time.

Authors: Jaiswal Akanksha , Sengupta Santoshi , Panda Madhusmita , Hati Lopamudra , Prikshat Verma , Patel Parth , Mohyuddin Syed 
Published: September 2022

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic and technological advancements have enabled employees to telework. Referring to this emerging phenomenon, the authors aim to examine how employees' levels of trust in management mediated by psychological well-being impact their performance as they telework. Deploying the theoretical lens of person-environment misfit, the authors also explore the role of technostress in the trust-wellbeing-performance relationship.Design/methodology/approachThe data was collected from 511 full-time service sector employees across Indian organizations through a structured survey questionnaire. The proposed moderation-mediation model for this study was tested using structural equation modeling and bootstrapping method.FindingsStructural equation modeling results indicate that trust in management significantly impacts employee performance while teleworking. While psychological well-being was observed as a significant mediator, technostress played the moderator role in the trust-performance relationship. The moderated-mediation effect of psychological well-being in the trust-performance relationship was stronger when technostress was low and weaker when technostress was high.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors extend the person-environment misfit theory in the context of telework, highlighting the role of technostress that may impact the trust-wellbeing- performance relationship in such work settings.Practical implicationsThe study informs leaders and managers on balancing delicate aspects such as employee trust and well-being that significantly impact performance as they telework. The authors also highlight the critical role of managers in respecting employees' personal and professional boundaries to alleviate technostress.Originality/valueThe authors make a novel theoretical contribution to the emerging literature on teleworking by examining the trust-psychological wellbeing-performance link and the role of technostress in this relationship.
Same, same but different! New service development in the context of emerging markets: a review
Authors: Dubiel Anna , Mukherji Prokriti 
Published: September 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to systematically review and critically examine the international marketing and innovation management research on new service development (NSD) in the context of emerging markets (EM). Research on services in EM, a heterogenous set of countries with an increasing contribution to global economic output, is sparse. This paper attempts to underscore the academic and managerial relevance of the field.Design/methodology/approachA systematic review of published empirical literature from peer-reviewed journals focusing on an 11-year period, 2010–2020, was undertaken. Further, bibliometric and text mining analyses were conducted using VOSviewer and Leximancer software programmes.FindingsThis analysis of 36 journal articles reveals that NSD research is a dynamic field with an increasing number of quantitative, multi-country and multi-method studies encompassing a variety of geographical settings and industries.Originality/valueDoing justice to this vibrant field of research and its managerial importance, the authors create an overview of existing empirical studies to serve as a repository of knowledge on NSD for both academics and practitioners. Further, the authors offer a thematic and temporal overview of the content of existing studies. Drawing upon the abovementioned, the authors suggest some promising avenues for future research.
Green intellectual capital for sustainable healthcare: evidence from Iraq
Authors: Al Issa Hussein-Elhakim , Abdullatif Tahir Noaman , Ntayi Joseph , Abdelsalam Mohammed Khalifa 
Published: September 2022

PurposeThis research aims to examine the role of green intellectual capital (GIC) dimensions in promoting sustainable healthcare as reflected by sustainable performance. The mediating effect of green absorptive capacity (GAC) and moderating role of environmental turbulence were also explored.Design/methodology/approachStructural equation modeling was utilized for hypotheses testing of a survey data set of 387 at healthcare organizations operating in Iraq. The data were collected using purposive sampling with expert judgment from senior managers and professionals.FindingsContrary to previous studies, the findings showed that only green human and relational capitals predict green performance and only green human capital predicted economic performance. GAC was related to green human capital, green structural capital and performance, and played a significant mediating role on the relationships.Research limitations/implicationsEven though the research was limited to one region of a single country, Iraq, GAC can be modified by managers to enhance GIC for sustainable healthcare performance. This action must be viewed in terms of the future timing of the impact while managers display strong conviction for sustainability commitment. Managers will find GRC least associated with performance, but that GIC dimensions work best in unison.Originality/valueThe examination of GIC with GAC as moderated by environmental turbulence contributes nascent theoretical insights in sustainable healthcare.
Unleashing employees’ tacit knowledge toward performance-driven culture in a Saudi Arabian organisation
Authors: Mohiya Mohamed 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
Performance-driven culture has received extensive attention from both academics and practitioners because of its impact on organisations’ performance. Employees’ tacit knowledge about performance-driven culture is pivotal to identify, as it contributes to increasing the organisation’s performance. With the aim of enriching ongoing debate in human resources and knowledge management research, this paper proposes a conceptual model for emancipating and investigating the main factors of employees’ tacit knowledge that shape and affect performance-driven culture of a Saudi Arabian organisation.

Design/methodology/approach
The validity of the conceptual model is examined through a qualitative study developed using a thematic analysis of 134 employees’ unbridged computerised typewritten comments about organisation’s performance-driven culture.

Findings
Findings confirm the utility of conceptual models in explaining and categorising employees’ emancipated tacit knowledge, providing a potential contribution to academics and practitioners interested in developing managerial processes for improving organisation’s performance-driven culture.

Originality/value
Both the conceptual reflections and empirical-based evidence herein enrich ongoing debate in the area of human resources and knowledge management about employees’ tacit knowledge and performance-driven culture.
Parametric study on the residual compressive strength of RC columns subjected to different standard fire durations and load ratios
Authors: Mirzabagheri Sara , Salem Osama (Sam) 
Published: September 2022

PurposeSince columns are critical structural elements, they shall withstand hazards without any considerable damage. In the case of a fire, although concrete has low thermal conductivity compared to other construction materials, its properties are changed at elevated temperatures. Most critically, the residual compressive strengths of reinforced concrete columns are significantly reduced after fire exposure. Validation of the worthiness of rehabilitating concrete structures after fire exposure is highly dependent on accurately determining the residual strengths of fire-damaged essential structural elements such as columns.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, eight reinforced-concrete columns (200 × 200 × 1,500 mm) that were experimentally examined in a prior related study have been numerically modelled using ABAQUS software to investigate their residual compressive strengths after exposure to different durations of standard fire (i.e. one and two hours) while subjected to different applied load ratios (i.e. 20 and 40% of the compressive resistance of the column). Outcomes of the numerical simulations were verified against the prior study's experimental results.FindingsIn a subsequent phase, the results of a parametric study that has been completed as part of the current study to investigate the effects of the applied load ratios show that the application of axial load up to 80% of the compressive resistance of the column did not considerably influence the residual compressive strength of the shorter columns (i.e. 1,500 and 2,000-mm high). However, increasing the height of the column to 2,500 or 3,000 mm considerably reduced the residual compressive strength when the load ratio applied on the columns exceeded 60 and 40%, respectively. Also, when the different columns were simulated under two-hour standard fire exposure, the dominant failure was buckling rather than concrete crushing which was the typical failure mode in most columns.Originality/valueThe outcomes of the numerical study presented in this paper reflect the residual compressive strength of RC columns subjected to various applied load ratios and standard fire durations. Also, the parametric study conducted as part of this research on the effects of higher load ratios and greater column heights on the residual compressive strength of the fire-damaged columns is practical and efficient. The developed computer models can be beneficial to assist engineers in assessing the validity of rehabilitating concrete structures after being exposed to fire.

Published: September 2022

Purpose
Detrimental impacts on social and ecological well-being of excessive fashion consumption and production practices are posing threats on future generations. Therefore, the need for sustainable solutions and endorsing them through social marketing efforts is more urgent than ever. From the consumption angle, this study aims to explore the driving forces behind consumers’ restless desire for the new and the growing need to consume sustainably.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper is conceptual in nature, and through a review of the literature in fashion, consumer, sustainability and social marketing studies, it examines why consumer desire for the new is so profound and how it conflicts with sustainability goals of the fashions industry. With a macrosocial approach, it reveals how multiple constituents of the fashion system can contribute toward sustainability goals.

Findings
This study explains consumers’ psychological and social needs driving their restless desire for the new and the role of fast fashion companies fuelling this desire. It also discusses the consequences of excessive fashion consumption and presents social marketing solutions at micro, meso and macro levels with upstream and downstream effects toward sustainability goals.

Practical implications
Considering the increasing consciousness about the negative impacts of excessive fashion consumption, this study suggests both practical and social implications that are associated with multiple stakeholders including consumers, fashion companies and public policymakers.

Originality/value
This study reveals in detail the challenges and potential social marketing solutions at micro, meso and macro levels, concerning the conflict between consumers’ restless desire for the new and the pressing need to consume more sustainably.

Developing a sustainability-driven learning organization through expatriate knowledge transfer: the case of Haier
Authors: Sun Yixin , Hong Jacky 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
This study aims to examine how expatriates’ knowledge can be adopted to transform the mental models at the subsidiary level and develop a sustainability-driven learning organization in the context of emerging multinational enterprises (EMNEs).

Design/methodology/approach
Through an inductive interpretive analysis of three Haier subsidiaries from developing countries, this study compares between old and new understandings of sustainability and examines how expatriates’ knowledge can facilitate shifts toward the new to foster a sustainability-driven learning organization.

Findings
The authors find that subsidiary employees face strategic and operational ambiguity concerning sustainability issues and that a mix of dissemination and reinforcement routines that align with headquarters’ expectations are used to maintain a continuous sustainability-driven learning pattern. Though EMNE subsidiaries may have contrasting understandings of sustainability, expatriate knowledge transfer can help change subsidiaries’ mental models and thus create sustainable capabilities and mindsets that form a sustainability-driven learning organization at the subsidiary level.

Originality/value
This study reveals the potential in applying expatriate knowledge transfer to transforming sustainable mental models in building sustainability-driven learning organizations.
Amphibian loss alters periphyton structure and invertebrate growth in montane streams
Authors: Alonso Alberto , Monroy Silvia , Bosch Jaime , Pérez Javier , Boyero Luz 
Published: September 2022

AbstractAmphibians are declining worldwide due to a combination of stressors such as climate change, invasive species, habitat loss, pollution and emergent diseases. Although their losses are likely to have important ecological consequences on the structure and functioning of freshwater ecosystems, this issue has been scarcely explored.We conducted an experiment in three montane streams—where primary production is the main source of energy and carbon—to assess the effects of amphibian disappearance (i.e. presence or absence of the common midwife toadAlytes obstetricans, a common species found in pools of these streams) on several aspects of ecosystem functioning and structure: periphyton biomass and chlorophyllaconcentration, algal assemblage structure, and growth of macroinvertebrate grazers.We compared four types of experimental enclosures: (i) without macroinvertebrates or amphibians; (ii) with larvae of the caddisflyAllogamus laureatus; (iii) withA. obstetricanstadpoles; and (iv) with bothA. laureatuslarvae andA. obstetricanstadpoles.The absence of tadpoles increased periphyton biomass, but did not cause differences on inorganic sediment accrual. The algal assemblage had a higher diversity in the absence of tadpoles, and their characteristic taxa differed from the assemblages in presence of tadpoles.A. laureatuspresented higher mass in presence of tadpoles; however, tadpole length was not affected by presence of macroinvertebrates.Our results suggest that presence of tadpoles is a driver of periphyton accrual and assemblage structure, acting as top‐down control and with key potential consequences on the functioning of montane stream ecosystems.

Published: September 2022

ABSTRACTBackgroundLaparoscopic colorectal surgery with Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol has been popular. It was shown to reduce hospital stay.ObjectiveTo ascertain the effect of implementing laparoscopic colorectal surgery with ERAS protocol, even if there is no rehabilitation service after discharge.ResultsThree hundred and thirteen patients were recruited in total, 141 patients in the ERAS group (year 2019) and 172 patients in the control group (year 2016). Length of hospital stay was significantly less in the ERAS group (5 days in ERAS group vs 6 days in control group, p < 0.01). Major surgical complication was similar among the two groups (7.1% vs 4.1%, p = 0.24). Post‐op ileus rate, readmission rate and mortality did not significantly differ among the two groups. Regression analysis showed that the ERAS protocol and female gender are associated with a reduction in postoperative length of hospital stay.ConclusionLaparoscopic colorectal surgery with ERAS protocol is associated with a shorter postoperative length of hospital stay. Further assessment is needed to clarify the causal relationship.
Volatility of Tax Payments and Dividend Payouts*
Authors: Amberger Harald J. 
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACTDividends are a key mechanism for shareholders to discipline managers and mitigate agency conflicts. This study examines whether the volatility of tax payments is associated with dividend payouts. Consistent with the predictions, results suggest that firms with more volatile tax payments are less likely to pay dividends overall and their dividends are lower in magnitude when doing so. These effects are economically significant and incremental to a firm's operating risk. The link between volatile tax payments and the likelihood of dividend payouts is weaker for firms that distribute dividends to alleviate agency conflicts. Similarly, the link between volatile tax payments and the amount of dividend payouts is weaker for firms that hold more cash for tax reasons. Taken together, these findings add to our understanding of the economic consequences of volatile tax payments and the determinants of dividend payouts.
Meiotic dysfunction accelerates somatic aging in Caenorhabditis elegans

Published: September 2022

AbstractAn expanding body of evidence, from studies in model organisms to human clinical data, reveals that reproductive health influences organismal aging. However, the impact of germline integrity on somatic aging is poorly understood. Moreover, assessing the causal relationship of such an impact is challenging to address in human and vertebrate models. Here, we demonstrate that disruption of meiosis, a germline restricted process, shortened lifespan, impaired individual aspects of healthspan, and accelerated somatic aging in Caenorhabditis elegans. Young meiotic mutants exhibited transcriptional profiles that showed remarkable overlap with the transcriptomes of old worms and shared similarities with transcriptomes of aging human tissues as well. We found that meiosis dysfunction caused increased expression of functionally relevant longevity determinants whose inactivation enhanced the lifespan of normal animals. Further, meiotic mutants manifested destabilized protein homeostasis and enhanced proteasomal activity partially rescued the associated lifespan defects. Our study demonstrates a role for meiotic integrity in controlling somatic aging and reveals proteostasis control as a potential mechanism through which germline status impacts overall organismal health.
