Organizational IT support and knowledge sharing behaviour affecting service innovation performance: empirical evidence from the hospitality industry
Authors: Kumar Manoj , Mamgain Pradeep , Pasumarti Srinivas Subbarao , Singh Pooja K. 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
The purpose of the study is to explore the relationship among organisation information technology support (OITS), knowledge sharing behaviour (KSB) and service innovation performance (SIP) in the context of the Indian Hospitality Industry (IHI). This study also attempts to examine the role of KSB as a mediator in the relationship between IT support and SIP and the firm age test as a moderating variable for service innovation performance.

Design/methodology/approach
Proposed relations are empirically examined, and the study was carried out on 115 employees from 71 randomly selected hotels situated in the major five travel destinations of Uttarakhand state of India. Initially, confirmatory factor analysis was performed to validate the construct, afterword structural equation modeling (SEM)-Path analysis was accomplished. The researcher examines the mediation and moderation relations of the variables through statistical tests executed with the help of AMOS 24 and SPSS 26.

Findings
The study result indicated that organisation IT support has a positive influence on knowledge sharing and SIP. The mediation result findings showed KSB is partially mediated between OITS and SIP. Sequentially, firm age moderation found the statistical results shown significant difference in young and old hotels.

Research limitations/implications
This study only covers the aspect of the “knowledge sharing behaviour” dimension among the major organizations’ IT support capabilities and examined both variables that might be anticipated in SIP. Considering this limitation, new areas of research investigation are open to future researchers.

Practical implications
The study has both theoretical and managerial implications for academicians, practitioners and researchers. An attempt to conceptualise detailed insights on organisational IT support adaptation and KSB enhancement, which further leads to lifting SIP. Moreover, the study recommended for professionals to implement KM practices and mobilise the knowledge resources optimally to achieve better organizational outcomes.

Originality/value
The study attempts to delineate the proposed relationship and provides valuable insights for practitioners and academicians by including the knowledge sharing dimension to improve the SIP context of the IHI.

Abstract

Several methods of measuring biodiversity in development‐offset trades exist. However, there is little consensus on which biodiversity metrics should be used for quantifying development impacts and assigning offsets.

We simulated development impacts in a virtual landscape and offset these impacts using six biodiversity metrics: vegetation area, vegetation condition, habitat suitability, species abundance, metapopulation connectivity and rarity‐weighted richness. We tested long‐term impacts of metric choice during offsetting by combining simulated landscapes with population viability analyses.

No net loss or net gains in habitat were achieved using all metrics except vegetation area and condition. Limited habitat and like‐for‐like requirements resulted in offsets exhausting available habitat in each vegetation class before offset requirements were met when using vegetation‐based metrics. We also found that impact avoidance was an important driver in how much compensation offsets could deliver. When impacts avoided high‐suitability habitats, all six metrics achieved no net loss or net gains for most species. However, when core habitats were developed, none of the metrics were able to consistently prevent population declines.

Synthesis and application. When impacts on high‐quality habitat were avoided, and assuming the protection and restoration benefits can occur in practice, vegetation‐based metrics may produce offsets which deliver gains in species abundance equivalent to species‐specific metrics. However, species‐specific metrics outperformed vegetation‐based metrics when core habitats were lost. Applying avoidance measures as a first step to minimise biodiversity impacts during development will significantly improve offset outcomes for species and result in greater long‐term population benefits delivered through offsetting.
Focal Times and Spaces: How Ethnography Foregrounds the Spatiotemporality of International Organizations and Global Governance
Authors: Eckl Julian 
Published: January 2022

AbstractDrawing on a long‐term political ethnography of sites of global health governance, the paper makes methodological and substantive contributions. First of all, it shows that ethnography induces researchers to experience international organizations (IOs) and global governance as spatiotemporal phenomena. This experience overlaps with the lived realities of practitioners and spotlights aspects that are otherwise easily overlooked. Both practitioners and ethnographers have to be in specific spaces at particular times. This practical challenge illustrates that there are focal times and spaces, which are linked to the cyclical and sited character of global health governance. These focal times and spaces provide an important coordination mechanism and ease the general flow of knowledge – within IOs and between IOs and their environment. However, there is also the constant danger that they develop a self‐referential life of their own and become disconnected from other processes. Similarly, not just researchers but also practitioners are struggling to develop a comprehensive understanding of IOs since they experience them only partially and in specific settings. Thus, a spatiotemporal account highlights both overlooked links and unexpected disconnections. The conclusion mentions that the current – COVID‐19‐induced – mainstreaming of digital technologies will impact the spatiotemporal dimension of global health governance.
Experiencing Time and Space within the United Nations

Published: January 2022

AbstractDeparting from an objective understanding of time and space, this article investigates time and space together as daily individual and social experiences within the United Nations (UN) system. Focused on both staff members and civil society partners, it explores how experiences of time and space affect the way the UN functions. Based on two case studies, it first shows that time and space as they are experienced by individuals shape UN everyday practices pointing to a form of unlimited connectedness among individuals and overlapping and delocalized temporalities. It then demonstrates that time and space constitute socially constructed resources to maintain hierarchical relations: looking at temporal and spatial experiences gives insight into power dynamics over decision‐making within the UN. Overall these findings show that time and space are relevant to capture overlooked dimensions in the study of the UN.
Understanding Change in International Organizations Across Time and Spaces: The Rise of UN Country Teams
Authors: Campos Luciana 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThis article analyses the progress of the agenda committed to tackle the fragmentation of the UN system to better understand the process of institutional change in International Organizations. Focusing on changes undergone by the UN's country‐level presence, the case study of the voluntary implementation of Delivering as One initiative (DaO) in Mozambique and Vietnam demonstrates how common plans, joint programs and pooled funds have promoted better divisions of labor and settled divergences among UN entities. This has fostered the national ownership of UN country‐level activities and developed the nexus of humanitarian‐development agendas. Pilot countries and donors resorted to selective incentives for the engagement of UN bureaucracies, who, especially at headquarters, remained resistant to reforms. Reform was subject to incentives and constraints that were introduced and manifested unevenly across spaces and over time. It lost momentum both in Mozambique and Vietnam following the pilot phase, when donors’ engagement faltered, but had more enduring effects in the latter, where the government’s greater capacity to engage in favor of reforms supported the compliance of UN country offices. This indicates the United Nations Country Teams (UNCT) consolidation amid institutional changes based on layering institutional innovations alongside extant structures, overcoming conflicts of loyalties.
Does IFRS and GRI adoption impact the understandability of corporate reports by Chinese listed companies?

Published: January 2022

AbstractThis study examines whether the adoption of IFRS and GRI impacts the readability and conciseness of corporate reports. We investigate the corporate reports of the top 100 A‐share listed Chinese companies from 2014 to 2018. Our results suggest that both readability and conciseness of the corporate reports are at a low level and indicate a downward trend over our sample period. We also find that IFRS adoption results in a longer and more readable report, whereas GRI adoption leads to a longer but less readable report. Our findings are of interest to academics, management, investors, and regulators.

Abstract
Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855) is an invasive agricultural pest in North America and Europe.
Most of the information on H. halys predators in invaded areas comes from North America. This work focused on the molecular identification of arthropod predator species capable of feeding on H. halys in northern Italy. Predatory arthropods were collected in the field in four urban parks using the tree‐beating technique. A real‐time PCR workflow was applied to detect H. halys DNA from the gut content of predators.
Of the 190 predator individuals analysed, 46 were positive for H. halys DNA and belonged to 10 insect taxa (1 Dermaptera, 3 Coleoptera, 2 Hemiptera and 4 Orthoptera) and six arachnid taxa (2 Opiliones and 6 Araneae).
The integration of gut content analysis with laboratory bioassays and field observations allows the identification of a greater number of predators and therefore a better understanding of how the invaded ecosystem is responding to the introduction of a new species, given that samples are taken from the invaded environment itself. Therefore, the gut content analysis provides essential elements for conservation biocontrol in integrated pest management programmes.
Peter’s anomaly—A homeotic gene disorder
Authors: Kylat Ranjit I. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractPeter's anomaly is a rare form of congenital anterior segment dysgenesis of the eye. Varying degrees of central corneal opacity and lenticulo‐corneal or irido‐corneal synechiae are the key hallmarks. The association of Peter's anomaly along with short stature, rhizomelia, broad short hands or brachydactyly, with facial dysmorphism, cleft lip, cleft palate, genitourinary and cardiovascular anomalies is a distinct and is often termed Peter's plus syndrome. Early detection is imperative to prevent sensory deprivation amblyopia. Glaucoma can be present at initial diagnosis or at any stage later, but treatment can be difficult. For the dense leukoma, corneal graft may be needed but visual prognosis is poor. Research focussing on gene editing and regenerative medicine using native corneal endothelial cells is ongoing.
Understanding cultural and logistical contexts for urologists in low‐income countries

Published: January 2022

AbstractThe provision of effective urological management in low‐ and middle‐income countries requires the delivery of appropriate and effective care adapted to the needs, capability and resources of the host country. However, a deeper cognisance of the culture, the religious practices and the logistics of healthcare in that environment determines the ability to effectively to ‘twin’, that is, to provide a long‐term healthcare partnership. Patient beliefs can have profound effects on the understanding of the aetiology of illness, its relevance to their long‐term health and the stigmatization of their family's social status. Consequently, individuals may have a greater willingness to seek help from practitioners of traditional medicine due to its availability as well as the lower costs of such medicine by comparison to those of medicine from high‐income countries (HICs). This can influence the treatment of many urological conditions and lead to late‐presenting states such as malignant ureteric obstruction. Social mores, such as cultural paternalism, can also influence many practices that are assumed by HICs to be part of normal healthcare provision, including the delivery of patient information and provision of informed consent to treatment. Doctor's status and dress have greater importance in many countries in sub‐Saharan Africa (sSA) than in the UK and the modes of greeting and addressing colleagues and patients can affect the fluency and effectiveness of clinical interactions. A local cultural and religious knowledge is essential, therefore, to optimize the assimilation of external help. Logistics are perhaps the most important factor that needs to be grasped to provide a sustainable healthcare environment. Limitations in resource allocation are a major factor in planning effective urological treatment in many countries in sSA, whether this is the provision of trained personnel, basic infrastructure, a tenable workspace, equipment or drugs. This paper explores all of these factors, and looks at how their recognition assists urologists in providing a twinning process.
Capturing the complexity of autism: Applying a developmental cascades framework
Authors: Bradshaw Jessica , Schwichtenberg Amy J. , Iverson Jana M. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractDevelopmental change emerges from dynamic interactions among networks of neural activity, behavior systems, and experience‐dependent processes. A developmental cascades framework captures the sequential, multilevel, cross‐domain nature of human development and is ideal for demonstrating how interconnected systems have far‐reaching effects in typical and atypical development. Neurodevelopmental disorders represent an intriguing application of this framework. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is complex and heterogeneous, with biological and behavioral features that cut across multiple developmental domains, including those that are motor, cognitive, sensory, and bioregulatory. Mapping developmental cascades in ASD can be transformational in elucidating how seemingly unrelated behaviors (e.g., those emerging at different points in development and occurring in multiple domains) are part of an interconnected neurodevelopmental pathway. In this article, we review evidence for specific developmental cascades implicated in ASD and suggest that theoretical and empirical advances in etiology and change mechanisms can be accelerated using a developmental cascades framework.
Choledochoduodenostomy is associated with fewer post‐transplant biliary complications compared to Roux‐en‐Y in primary sclerosing cholangitis patients

Published: January 2022

AbstractBackgroundFor primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT), a consensus regarding biliary reconstruction remains unresolved. Choledochoduodenostomy (CDD) represents an alternative to Roux‐en‐Y (RY) and duct‐to‐duct. We compared long‐term post‐transplant outcomes between CDD and RY.MethodsThis was a retrospective review of patients transplanted for PSC who received CDD or RY, with minimum 12‐months follow‐up. The primary outcome was need for biliary intervention, with either percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Secondary outcomes included biliary stricture(s) and cholangitis admission(s).ResultsNinety‐three patients were transplanted between August 2004 and October 2019 (34 living donor [LDLT] and 59 deceased donor [DDLT]; 40 RY, 53 CDD). Need for either ERCP or PTC was similar (45.0% RY vs. 32.1% CDD, P = .203), though RY exhibited more anastomotic strictures (AS) (35.0% RY vs. 11.3% CDD, P = .006), which was also observed in LDLT subanalyses (50.0% LDLT/RY vs. 10.0% LDLT/CDD; P = .036). Cholangitis admissions were more frequent in RY versus CDD (37.5% vs. 15.1%, P = .013).ConclusionsCDD does not impart greater risk of biliary complications, and RY may have an incremental effect combined with LDLT status for predisposing to AS. CDD maintains standard endoscopic access without additional risk of biliary complications, thus should be considered when anatomically feasible.

AbstractAimOccurrence records for cryptic species are typically limited or highly uncertain, leaving their distributions poorly resolved and hampering conservation. This can apply to well‐studied species, and increased survey effort and/or novel methods are required to improve distribution data. Here, we paired species distribution modelling (SDM) with decision tools to direct surveys for the critically endangered Leadbeater's possum (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri) outside its current restricted range. We also assessed survey areas for their suitability to host translocations.LocationVictoria, Australia.MethodWe used both recent and historic records (now out of range and spatially uncertain) of Leadbeater's possum to build SDMs using MaxEnt. The SDMs informed an initial multi‐criteria decision analysis (MCDA) that enabled prioritization of 80 survey sites across seven forest patches (13–145 km outside the known range), which we surveyed using camera traps. Site and vegetation data were used in a post‐survey MCDA to rank their potential translocation suitability.ResultsThe SDM predictions were consistent with the species’ ecology, identifying cold areas with high rainfall that had not recently burnt as suitable. The spatial uncertainty of records did not exert a strong influence on either model predictions or the ranking of patches for surveys. Camera trap surveys yielded records of 19 native species, with Leadbeater's possum detected in only one survey patch, 13 km outside of its previously known range. The post‐survey MCDA identified three forest patches as potentially suitable for conservation translocations, and these priorities were not sensitive to the decision criteria used.Main conclusionsThe approach outlined here prioritized survey effort over a large area, resulting in detection of Leadbeater's possum in one new patch. The potential translocation sites identified could present an important risk‐spreading measure for the species given the threat posed by bushfire. Combining SDMs and decision tools can help target surveys and guide subsequent conservation strategies.
Approach to echocardiography in ARDS patients in the prone position: A systematic review
Authors: Ajam Mustafa , Drake Matthew , Ran Ran , Mukundan Srini , Masri Ahmad , Rahmouni Hind 
Published: January 2022

AbstractEchocardiography is commonly utilized in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) for assessment of cardiac function, volume status, and the potential development of acute cor pulmonale. In severe ARDS, prone positioning is frequently used, which imposes technical challenges during transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) image acquisition. Moreover, prone positioning can affect cardiopulmonary function in ways that are reflected on the echocardiographic findings in this position. Historically, a transesophageal approach was recommended when a patient is prone, with few studies reporting utility of TTE in this setting. However, recent publications have begun to address this knowledge gap. This review explores recent literature addressing the use of TTE in prone patients with ARDS, with a special focus on the cardiopulmonary effects of proning and potential solutions to the technical difficulties that arise in this position.

AbstractIntroductionFrontline treatment of hairy cell leukemia (HCL) with a single course of the purine nucleoside analog (PNA) produces a high rate of complete remission (CR) with prolonged durations. At the time of relapse, although treatment guidelines recommend re‐treatment with a PNA alone or in combination with rituximab (R), practice patterns vary and data supporting each approach are limited.MethodsWe conducted a multisite outcomes analysis of patients treated for HCL between 1995 and 2018 at six US medical centers. All patients were treated with frontline PNA and subsequently required treatment with a PNA alone (PNA) or with R (+R).ResultsOf the 88 patients analyzed, 56 (63.6%) received second‐line PNA and 22 (36.4%) received a PNA + R. Baseline characteristics of both groups were similar. There was no difference in median PFS [67 months (95% CI 43.8 non‐reached (NR)) vs. 65 months (95% CI 60‐NR)] or 5‐year OS [98% (95% CI 0.94–1) vs. 94% (95% CI 0.83–1), p = .104] in the PNA versus PNA + R cohorts, respectively.ConclusionTo our knowledge, this is the largest study evaluating the role of R in treatment of relapsed HCL and suggests that there is no advantage to the addition of R to PNA therapy at the time of first re‐treatment.
How to theorize about hope
Authors: Kwong Jack M. C. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractIn order to better understand the topic of hope, this article argues that two separate theories are needed: One for hoping, and the other for hopefulness. This bifurcated approach is warranted by the observation that the word “hope” is polysemous: It is sometimes used to refer to hoping and sometimes to feeling or being hopeful. Moreover, these two senses of “hope” are distinct, as a person can hope for some outcome yet not simultaneously feel hopeful about it. I argue that this distinction between hoping and hopefulness is not always observed or fully appreciated in the literature and has consequently caused much confusion. This article then sketches what theorizing about hope looks like in light of this clarification and discusses some of its implications.
