Examining the effect of consumption values on mobile banking adoption in Bangladesh: the moderating role of perceived security
Authors: Hafez Md. 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThe objective of this study is to investigate the effect of consumption values (functional, social, epistemic, and emotional value) on mobile banking (m-banking) usage intention and intention to recommend m-banking services in the context of the Bangladeshi banking sector. Furthermore, this study examines how perceived security moderates the effects of consumption values on m-banking usage intention and recommendation intention.Design/methodology/approachA self-structured questionnaire had been used to obtain survey data from a sample of 237 m-banking users in Bangladesh using a convenience sampling method. Data were analyzed by structural equation modeling based on AMOS 23.0.FindingsThe findings show that all the dimensions of consumption values (functional, epistemic, and emotional value) except social value have a significant impact on mobile banking usage intention. In turn, mobile banking usage intention has a substantial direct effect on users' recommendation intention. Furthermore, the results also demonstrate that perceived security moderates the effects of functional values on m-banking usage intention as well as m-banking usage intention on recommendation intention.Practical implicationsThese research findings offer insightful guidelines to bank marketers to increase m-banking usage intention and recommendation intention by emphasizing the functional, epistemic, and emotional value of m-banking services as well as safeguarding consumers' perceived security in m-banking transactions.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the body of knowledge by measuring the effects of consumption values dimensions on the m-banking usage intention and recommendation intention which were hardly investigated particularly in the m-banking context. To date, this study is the first attempt to examine how perceived security moderates the effects of consumption values dimensions on the m-banking usage intention as well as m-banking usage intention on recommendation intention. The findings contribute to a theoretical understanding of the importance of consumption values in consumer decision-making, particularly in the rarely studied domain of mobile banking.
Data sharing concepts: a viable system model diagnosis
Authors: Perko Igor 
Published: October 2022

PurposeArtificial intelligence (AI) reasoning is fuelled by high-quality, detailed behavioural data. These can usually be obtained by the biometrical sensors embedded in smart devices. The currently used data collecting approach, where data ownership and property rights are taken by the data scientists, designers of a device or a related application, delivers multiple ethical, sociological and governance concerns. In this paper, the author is opening a systemic examination of a data sharing concept in which data producers execute their data property rights.Design/methodology/approachSince data sharing concept delivers a substantially different alternative, it needs to be thoroughly examined from multiple perspectives, among them: the ethical, social and feasibility. At this stage, theoretical examination modes in the form of literature analysis and mental model development are being performed.FindingsData sharing concepts, framework, mechanisms and swift viability are examined. The author determined that data sharing could lead to virtuous data science by augmenting data producers' capacity to govern their data and regulators' capacity to interact in the process. Truly interdisciplinary research is proposed to follow up on this research.Research limitations/implicationsSince the research proposal is theoretical, the proposal may not provide direct applicative value but is largely focussed on fuelling the research directions.Practical implicationsFor the researchers, data sharing concepts will provide an alternative approach and help resolve multiple ethical considerations related to the internet of things (IoT) data collecting approach. For the practitioners in data science, it will provide numerous new challenges, such as distributed data storing, distributed data analysis and intelligent data sharing protocols.Social implicationsData sharing may post significant implications in research and development. Since ethical, legislative moral and trust-related issues are managed in the negotiation process, data can be shared freely, which in a practical sense expands the data pool for virtuous research in social sciences.Originality/valueThe paper opens new research directions of data sharing concepts and space for a new field of research.

Published: October 2022

PurposeWith the increasing computation and communication speed of mobile devices, their use and roles have been repositioned to act more than a communication tool. Around 0.4 million foreign domestic helpers (FDHs) form an integral part of Hong Kong society and have the highest concentrations of FDHs worldwide, but scant studies focus on their mobile technology usage. This study aims to discuss the aforementioned issue.Design/methodology/approachThis research investigated mobile technology usage by 145 FDHs in Hong Kong with a quantitative survey, covering their actual mobile technology usage, perceptions, influences and adoption barriers.FindingsBesides communication and connection with friends and family, participants used mobile technology for information seeking, productivity, utility and entertainment. Perception of usefulness was the greatest influence, and they would use any mobile technology once its basic function supports their daily needs. They considered no “very serious barrier,” though data tariff was their biggest concern. Overall, there were some significant differences between genders in the usage of mobile technologies.Originality/valueScant studies focus on the mobile technology usage of FDHs. The results reveal the usefulness of mobile technologies to FDHs for government policy-making and for employers and employment agencies to better support the FHDs' daily lives.

Published: October 2022

PurposeThis study explores green human resource management in Pakistan's automobile industry.Design/methodology/approachThe nature of the study is quantitative, with cross-sectional data collected through a survey questionnaire. A convenience sampling strategy is employed to trace employees working in the automobile industry. In total, 400 surveys are distributed, with 190 responses received. The response rate is recorded as 47%.FindingsBy employing structural equation modeling (SEM), the study finds positive and significant effects of green employee involvement (GEI), green compensation and reward (GCR), green performance management (GPM), green training and development (GTD), and green recruitment and selection (GRS) on task-related green behaviors (TRGB), voluntary green behaviors (VGB), and green innovation (GI).Practical implicationsThe study's findings add greater depth to the knowledge about green human resource management (HRM) practices, with a focus on the developing country context. The proposed framework will provide guidelines to policymakers with recommendations on how to influence and implement task-related green behaviors, voluntary green behaviors, and green innovation within green HRM practices.Originality/valueThe conclusions of the study offer empirical confirmation of green HRM practices, task-related green behaviors, voluntary green behaviors, and green innovation in a developing country setting.
Political connections, media coverage and firm performance: evidence from an emerging market
Authors: Hassan Mostafa Kamal , Lahyani Fathia Elleuch , Elgharbawy Adel 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of politically connected directors (PCDs), media coverage and their interaction on firm performance in an emerging market economy (UAE).

Design/methodology/approach
This study relies on the agency theory and the resource dependency theory and uses a panel data set of a sample of non-financial firms listed in the UAE stock market from 2009 to 2016. Data were analyzed using fixed-effects regression. Instrumental variable regression was used to address potential endogeneity.

Findings
PCDs and media are positively associated with firm performance (ROE and Tobin’s q). Media moderates the PCDs–performance relationship, as the interaction between PCDs and media coverage is negatively associated with firm performance. Under growing media attention, reputational concerns prevent PCDs from using their connections to gain particular advantages to their firms to avoid damaging their image.

Practical implications
Regulators need to acknowledge and define the roles of PCDs and media in business governance.

Originality/value
To the best of authors’ knowledge, this study is the first empirical examination testing the effect of the interplay between PCDs and media on firm performance in an emerging market economy such as UAE.
High-performance work systems in public service units: examining the social capital and ambidexterity as mediating process
Authors: Ali Muhammad , Freeman Susan , Shen Lei , Xiong Lin , Chudhery Muhammad Adnan Zahid 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThis study clarifies how intra-organizational social capital (IOSC) and unit-organizational ambidexterity (UOA), using resource-based view and dynamic capability theory, together support organizational value creation. While there is research in strategic human resource management (SHRM) exploring the role of resources and its uses, there remains limited understanding of how resources are linked and their effective utilization in the service sector. This study aims to examine the mediating process linking employee-experienced service-oriented high-performance work systems (SHPWS) experienced by employees and service performance by integrating IOSC and UOA.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses time lagged data from managers and employees of different branches of Chinese state-owned banks. To test the proposed hypotheses, path analysis was applied.FindingsThe path analysis results reveal that employee-experienced SHPWS is an important antecedent of service performance. Moreover, IOSC (as resources) and UOA (uses) strongly mediate the theorized relationship.Originality/valueThis study attempts to refine theory and practice with clearer, more insightful and coherent means to better understand and help unpack the ‘black box’ between SHPWS-performance relationships through a new linkage model.

Published: October 2022

AbstractErythema nodosum (EN) is the most common clinical presentation of panniculitis, an inflammatory process that affects subcutaneous cellular tissue, characterized by the acute appearance of painful erythematous nodules predominantly in the lower extremities. An unusual case of EN is presented below, secondary to the administration of zoledronic acid (ZA) and denosumab, in which incidental histopathological findings of calciphylaxis were also found.
Private family firms, generations and bank debt
Authors: Díaz‐Díaz Nieves Lidia , García‐Teruel Pedro J. , Martínez‐Solano Pedro 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis paper focuses on the use of bank debt by private family firms and whether it is higher for the first generations of family businesses than for their descendants and subsequent generations. We use a unique hand‐collected data set of 4,041 private Spanish firms for the years 2004 to 2013. We find statistical evidence that family‐controlled firms make greater use of bank credit. Moreover, we show that first‐generation family firms acquire more bank debt than those of second and subsequent generations. Furthermore, during financial crises, family‐controlled firms were subjected to less rationing, with increased bank financing for first generations.
Diet disparity and diversity predict extinction risk in primates

Published: October 2022

AbstractSpecies vary in their vulnerability to extinction according to their biology, ecology, environmental factors and threats to which they are exposed. Diet is an important ecological trait that affects many aspects of a species' biology, including its vulnerability to extinction. Despite the importance of diet as a species' trait, its influence on extinction risk has only been studied in a coarse way, in part due to a lack of detailed diet data covering a large breadth of species or geographic areas. We examined the association between diet and extinction risk in primates, using a high‐resolution dataset covering all major primate lineages and habitats on a global scale. The resolution of the dataset allowed us to calculate multiple biologically informative metrics for diet composition and diversity, allowing us to tease apart what aspects of diet were most important for predicting the risk of extinction, whilst accounting for phylogeny, body mass and geographic range size. Our results showed that both diet disparity and diet diversity predict primate extinction risk, showing that primates that are able to consume more types of items, and items that are more disparate from one another, are less prone to extinction. Furthermore, we found that although closely related species tend to have similar dietary diversity and disparity, these metrics vary widely amongst primate families. Primates with a high diet diversity and disparity may be able to cope better with fluctuations in food availability than species with homogeneous diet items, through a portfolio effect. Understanding the degree of dietary specialization of the species may help guide new studies relating to extinction risk and threats and be useful in future species assessments.
Alcohol and marijuana co‐use among adults with chronic low back pain: Associations with substance misuse, mental health, and pain experience
Authors: Ferrie Mara L. , Rogers Andrew H. , Zvolensky Michael J. , Buckner Julia D. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesIndividuals with chronic lower back pain (CLBP) report using alcohol and marijuana to cope with pain. Little research has tested whether co‐use is associated with worse psychological outcomes.MethodsParticipants had CLBP and past‐month alcohol/marijuana co‐use (n = 192), alcohol use (n = 148), marijuana use (n = 78), or no use (n = 101).ResultsCo‐use was associated with more drinking‐related problems, anxiety, and pain anxiety compared to alcohol‐(but not marijuana‐) only, whereas marijuana‐only use was associated with worse psychological outcomes than alcohol use‐only; effect sizes were small to medium.Discussion and ConclusionsCo‐use and marijuana‐only were associated with worse outcomes than alcohol‐only.Scientific SignificanceThe present findings extend current understanding of co‐use by finding that marijuana use among people with CLBP (a group with especially high rates of use of these substances) is associated with worse alcohol‐related problems and psychological outcomes.
Concern for animals, other farmers, or oneself? Assessing farmers' support for a policy to improve animal welfare
Authors: Läpple Doris , Osawe Osayanmon Wellington 
Published: October 2022

AbstractPublic acceptance of farming practices relating to animal welfare is becoming increasingly important for dairy farmers. In this study, we assess dairy farmers' willingness to pay to support a policy aimed at improving calf welfare and link this to farmers' social preferences. We conceptualize the farmer's decision into private reasons and motivations to improve animal welfare or industry reputation. Our data come from a survey with over 400 Irish dairy farmers that included an experimental component. Specifically, we utilized a contingent valuation referendum method to elicit farmers' willingness to pay. We also used a financially incentivized social value orientation scale based on competitive, individualistic, prosocial, and altruistic preferences. Our findings indicate that most farmers are supportive of a policy scheme to improve animal welfare, and higher social value orientation (i.e. more altruistic preferences) is positively associated with higher willingness to pay. More detailed analysis suggests that industry concern is associated with more altruistic preferences but not concern for animal welfare. Our findings have important policy implications as we show that the majority of farmers are willing to financially support the implementation of a policy that can help to prevent public bads.
Upside risk, consumption value, and market returns to food safety
Authors: Hoffmann Vivian , Kariuki Sarah , Pieters Janneke , Treurniet Mark 
Published: October 2022

AbstractWe investigate the effect of a modest food safety premium on semisubsistence farmers' investment in a food safety technology. We demonstrate theoretically that in the face of production uncertainty, a market incentive below the marginal production cost of achieving the safety standard can increase food safety investment among farmers motivated by private health returns. We test this prediction through a randomized controlled trial in Kenya through which members of existing farmer groups were offered an opportunity to purchase a food safety input, and half were offered a 5% market premium for produce that met the associated regulatory standard. Access to the premium more than doubled investment in the food safety technology. In line with the model's prediction, most premium‐induced adoption was by farmers motivated by a combination of health and financial rewards.

Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundAs rectal cancer survival increases, more patients survive with potentially severe, long‐term gastrointestinal and genitourinary complications from radiotherapy. The burden of these complications for patients and healthcare services is unclear, which this review aims to quantify.MethodsSystematic search of Medline and Embase for randomized‐controlled trials (RCTs) and multicentre observational studies published since 2000, reporting hospitalization/procedural intervention for long‐term (>6 months post‐treatment) gastrointestinal or genitourinary complications after radiotherapy and surgery for rectal cancer. Prevalence values were pooled in a meta‐analysis assuming random effects. Organ‐preservation patients were excluded.Results4044 records screened; 24 reports from 23 studies included (15 RCTs, 8 Observational), encompassing 15 438 patients. Twenty‐one studies (median follow‐up 60 months) reported gastrointestinal complications post‐radiotherapy: pooled prevalence 11% (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 8–14%). Thirteen reported small bowel obstruction: prevalence 9% (95% CI 6–12%), a 58% increased risk compared with surgery alone (RR 1.58, 95% CI 1.26–1.98, n = 5 studies). Seven reported fistulas: prevalence 1% (95% CI 1–2%). Thirteen reported genitourinary complications: prevalence 4% (95% CI 1–6%); RR 1.10 (95% CI 0.88–1.38, n = 3 studies) compared with surgery alone.ConclusionsOver 10% of patients are hospitalized for long‐term complications following rectal cancer radiotherapy. Serious gastrointestinal complications are commonplace; late small bowel obstruction is more common in patients having radiotherapy and surgery compared with surgery alone. Patients and clinicians need to be aware of these risks.
Oncological outcome after lateral pelvic lymphadenectomy for low rectal carcinoma: not only an N‐status matter
Authors: Peparini Nadia 
Published: October 2022

AbstractTumour deposits (TDs), novel pathological entities, should be considered when estimating the regional and systemic spread of rectal carcinoma and formulating treatment strategies. In fact, TDs may have more severe prognostic impact than lymph node positivity or the lymph node ratio. The assessment of the presence of TDs can be performed only through accurate postoperative pathological examination; however, the detection of TDs is not part of any of the procedures currently used to assess preoperative or intraoperative staging. This review aims to analyse and discuss the impact of TDs on the oncological outcome of patients who undergo surgery for advanced low rectal carcinoma. No prospective study has evaluated the impact of lateral pelvic TDs on oncological outcomes following total mesorectal excision with lateral pelvic lymphadenectomy. Although adequate total mesorectal excision allows for the excision of intramesorectal TDs, lateral pelvic lymph node dissection cannot guarantee the removal of lateral pelvic TDs; moreover, it remains to be determined whether surgical excision of lateral pelvic TDs can impact long‐term outcomes. However, the identification of lateral pelvic TDs strengthens the ‘staging effect’ and limits the ‘therapeutic effect’ of lateral pelvic lymphadenectomy, supporting the rationale for the use of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer. When evaluating the oncological outcomes after total mesorectal excision with lateral pelvic lymphadenectomy, the impact of lateral pelvic TDs should be considered.

AbstractBackgroundTo describe the characteristics and outcomes of patients admitted to Intensive Care following vascular surgery, and their subsequent usage of Intensive Care resources, over a 15‐year period in Australia and New Zealand.MethodsThis was a retrospective, bi‐national study of 69 676 adult patients admitted to 179 Intensive Care Unit (ICUs) following vascular surgery between January 2005 and December 2019, using the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society Adult Patient Database.ResultsThe proportion of ICU bed days used by vascular surgery patients decreased during the study period from 3.6% in 2005 to 2.9% in 2019 (P < 0.001). The cohort had a median age of 73 years, and were most frequently admitted after a carotid endarterectomy (22%) or elective open aneurysm repair (20%). A total of 5.2% of patients did not survive to discharge. Mean annual adjusted mortality decreased during the study period from 6.1% in 2005 to 3.7% in 2019 (P < 0.001). Multiple factors were associated with higher mortality, including gender, hospital case volume and hospital type.ConclusionsBetween 2005 and 2019 survival for vascular surgery patients requiring ICU admission in Australia and New Zealand improved. During the same time the proportion of ICU bed days used by these patients decreased.
