The joint effects of supervisor knowledge hiding, abusive supervision, and employee political skill on employee knowledge hiding behaviors
Authors: Offergelt Florian , Venz Laura 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
Knowledge hiding, intentionally withholding work-relevant information, is detrimental to organizations, yet practiced by supervisors and employees. Based on social learning and social exchange theories, this study aims to uncover the effects of supervisor knowledge hiding, abusive supervision and employee political skill on employee knowledge hiding behaviors, namely, evasive hiding, playing dumb and rationalized hiding. We compare the two destructive supervisor behaviors in their predictive values toward employee knowledge hiding and examine the role of employee political skill in mitigating their effects.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on survey data collected from 598 German-speaking employees, we used path analysis to test the hypotheses.

Findings
The two destructive supervisor behaviors and employee political skill predicted employee evasive hiding and playing dumb; supervisor knowledge hiding additionally predicted employee rationalized hiding. The predictive value of supervisor knowledge hiding was 2.5 times larger than that of abusive supervision and political skill. The effects of destructive supervisor behaviors were weaker for more politically skilled employees.

Originality/value
We examine two destructive supervisor behaviors conjointly and show the differences between them regarding their predictive value toward employee knowledge hiding. Furthermore, we investigate the role of political skill in knowledge hiding.
Improving service interactions through inclusive language for Sindh’s Sheedis
Authors: Ali Ameer , David Maya Khemlani , Channa Abdul Razaque 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
This research aims to explore how racist language in service interactions in the health and education sectors affects service consumers belonging to the Sheedi community in Pakistan’s Sindh province. This research questions the use of racist language and proposes the use of inclusive language in service sectors to reduce the discrimination the Sheedi community faces because of such racist language.

Design/methodology/approach
This empirical study takes place in the health and education sectors in Sindh province. Using a qualitative and narrative approach, this study categorizes Sheedi service consumers’ personal experiences to gain deep and holistic insights into the racist language used in service interactions and proposes the use of inclusive language.

Findings
Findings demonstrate how some non-Sheedis used racist language against the Sheedi service consumers in the health and education sectors, and how such racist language was influenced by class consciousness and gender bias. Inclusive language, which emphasizes professional lexicon, culturally appropriate terminology, gender-neutral vocabulary and other socially acceptable terms, was proposed to be used in the service interactions with Sheedi service consumers.

Originality/value
This study makes a conceptual contribution to existing literature on the use of language in service interactions and documents how the Sheedi community is treated in Pakistan’s Sindh province. This research can help researchers expand research in contexts where the use of racist language hinders progress, while the use of inclusive language can lead to sustainable development of service sectors.
An intelligent sv-neutrosophic parameterized MCDM approach to risk evaluation based on complex fuzzy hypersoft set for real estate investments
Authors: Zhang Huilong , Zhang Yudong , Rahman Atiqe Ur , Saeed Muhammad 
Published: June 2022

PurposeIn this article, the elementary notions and aggregation operations of single-valued neutrosophic parameterized complex fuzzy hypersoft set (sv-NPCFHSS) are characterized initially. Then by using matrix version of sv-NPCFHSS, a decision-support system is constructed for the evaluation of real estate residential projects by observing various risk factors.Design/methodology/approachTwo approaches are utilized in this research: set-theoretic approach and algorithmic approach. The first approach is used to investigate the notions of sv-NPCFHSS and its some aggregations whereas the second approach is used to propose an algorithm for designing its decision-support system by using the aggregation operations like reduced fuzzy matrix, decision matrix, etc. of sv-NPCFHSS. The adopted algorithm is validated in real estate scenario for the selection of residential project by observing various risk factors to avoid any expected investment loss.FindingsThe proposed approach is more flexible and reliable as it copes with the shortcomings of literature on sv-neutrosophic set, sv-neutrosophic soft set and other fuzzy soft set-like structures by considering hypersoft setting, complex setting and neutrosophic setting collectively.Research limitations/implicationsIt has limitations for complex intuitionistic fuzzy hypersoft set, complex neutrosophic hypersoft set and other complex neutrosophic hypersoft set-like models.Practical implicationsThe scope of this research may cover a wide range of applications in several fields of mathematical sciences like artificial intelligence, optimization, MCDM, theoretical computer science, soft computing, mathematical statistics etc.Originality/valueThe proposed model bears the characteristics of most of the relevant existing fuzzy soft set-like models collectively and fulfills their limitations.
Lender financial reporting incentives and loan prioritization during the Paycheck Protection Program
Authors: Bailey Cristina , Sokolowski Matias 
Published: June 2022

PurposeThis study contributes to a growing body of literature on the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) by examining how lender incentives affected prioritization of large borrowers. In addition, this study separately examines incentives for commercial banks and credit unions during the program.Design/methodology/approachUsing 2020 PPP loan data, the authors create a proxy for lender loan prioritization by comparing the skewness statistics of large and small loan distributions. A regression model is used to examine lender reporting incentives and loan prioritization.FindingsResults show that larger borrowers were prioritized in receiving PPP loans earlier. Lenders with financial reporting concerns and commercial banks favored large borrowers to a greater extent.Practical implicationsThis study may inform social planners and regulators about the benefits and costs of delegating emergency funding loan decisions to financial institutions.Originality/valueThe authors believe this paper is the first to examine financial institution reporting incentives in relationship to PPP lending practices. It adds novelty by examining lender incentives, while prior research has focused heavily on the economic consequences of the program and how borrower–lender relationships affected loan practices during the program.
Is your AoL process overly complex?
Authors: Tarnoff Karen A. , Barnes Kathleen J. , Bostwick Eric D. 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to identify signs of unnecessary assurance of learning (AoL) complexity and to provide suggestions for simplifying the AoL processes.

Design/methodology/approach
While this paper is grounded in the existent AoL literature, the paper also presents several anecdotal observations from the authors’ practical knowledge in designing, leading, maintaining and consulting on AoL systems and processes.

Findings
Based on both a conceptual review of AoL literature and the authors’ own experiences, the authors outline 13 specific symptoms of unnecessary AoL complexity, identify potential underlying causes for each symptom and propose practical solutions that can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of dysfunctional AoL systems and processes.

Research limitations/implications
Although this work is grounded in the existent AoL literature, the present paper presents several anecdotal observations from the authors’ experiences. While the intent is to provide guidance that is actionable, it is understood that variability exists within and across schools and programs. Future research is needed to provide a more formal structure for reviewing AoL complexity, efficiency and effectiveness.

Practical implications
While future research is needed to provide a more formal structure for reviewing AoL complexity, efficiency and effectiveness, the intent of this paper is to provide guidance that is actionable with the understanding that variability exists within and across schools and programs.

Social implications
Society increasingly is demanding accountability from institutions of higher learning, and properly structured AoL programs can provide evidence of institutional effectiveness in preparing students to be productive members of society in their chosen fields of study. Stated succinctly, “although accountability matters, learning still matters most” (Angelo, 1999, n.p.).

Originality/value
Consideration of the 13 symptoms presented here along with other drivers that are unique to each school and program should result in the identification and development of practicable remedies to simplify AoL processes and systems, increase efficiency and effectiveness and improve the documentation of improvements to student learning.

Worldwide trends in the scientific production on soccer players market value, a bibliometric analysis using bibliometrix R-tool
Authors: Rodríguez Maribel Serna , Ortega Alvarez Ana María , Arango-Vasquez Leonel 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
This study aims to identify the current state, the emergent research clusters, the key research topics and the configuration of collaboration in scientific production related to the market value of soccer players.

Design/methodology/approach
This article analyzes 52 articles published between 1985 and 2021 and from the Scopus and WoS databases.

Findings
The subject is of growing interest both in academic and practical areas. A variable that frequently appears as a determinant of market value is crowd wisdom. The largest cluster related to the co-citation level shows that the main issues about soccer player market value are player performance, team performance, and the determinants of the superstar formation. Spain and Germany stand out as essential countries both in literary production and citation rate. The network of collaborations is still low.

Research limitations/implications
This study is supported by databases being constantly updated, resulting in continuous variation in the number of indexed journals. Consequently, a bibliometric analysis regarding an emergent topic can, in fewer years, be subject to essential variations. Another limitation is that it has analyzed a particular topic using the most influential databases, and the global perspective could be improved with the incorporation of other different databases. Data regarding collaborations could be helpful for investigations or policies that propose to approach the topic supported by specialized groups. This study offers the possibility for future researchers to extend the databases used, the level of analysis, or focus on specific topics or variables affecting the soccer player market value.

Originality/value
This study contributes to knowing the current state of the soccer player market value research. Studies on such topics are relatively limited concerning the literature review.

Forty‐seven were allocated a high acuity triage category, equating to a sensitivity of 74.6% (95% CI 62.1–84.7) and a negative predictive value of 92.7% (95% CI 88.4–95.8).ConclusionIn a resource‐constrained context, the tool demonstrated reasonable sensitivity to detect severe and critical COVID‐19, comparable with its reported performance for other urgent conditions.
Thermal inactivation of Salmonella on chicken wings cooked in domestic convection and air fryer ovens
Authors: Cano Carmen , Wei Xinyao , Etaka Cyril A. , Chaves Byron D. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractChicken wings are among the most popular poultry products for home and foodservice consumption. Poultry products must be handled and cooked safely to decrease the risk of foodborne salmonellosis for consumers. This study aims to validate the use of domestic appliances (convection and air fryer ovens) for the thermal inactivation of Salmonella on chicken wings. Wings (n = 3, 46.5 ± 4.3 g) were inoculated with a five‐strain cocktail of Salmonella (ca. 8 log10 CFU/wing) and cooked in a convection oven (179.4°C) or an air fryer (176, 190, or 204°C) for 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 22, or 25 min. Thermocouples recorded temperature profiles of wings and appliances. Salmonella counts were determined on XLD agar for rinsates (100 ml/sample), and rinsates were enriched to recover bacteria below the limit of quantification. The recommended internal cooking temperature (73.8°C) was achieved after a range of 7.5 to 8.5 min in both appliances. Salmonella counts were reduced by 6.5 log10 CFU/wing when this temperature was achieved. Cumulative lethality (F‐value) calculations predicted a 9‐log reduction after 7.0 to 8.1 min of cooking. However, sample enrichments tested positive for Salmonella for all cooking times below 22 min. Ultimately, cooking at the temperature–time combinations recommended by manufacturers and online recipes helped achieve complete microbial elimination in both appliances. This study contributes to the validation of home cooking methods to ensure consumer safety.
Effect of different cadmium levels in Boletus griseus on bioaccessibility, bioavailability, and intestinal flora by establishing a complete bionic digestion system in vitro
Authors: Zhang Tingting , Tian Zhen , Sun Liping , Zhuang Yongliang 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe bioaccessibility and bioavailability of different cadmium (Cd) levels (low: 7.31 mg/kg, medium: 24.20 mg/kg, high: 41.64 mg/kg) in Boletus griseus were evaluated by establishing a bionic digestive system in vitro. The results showed that the bioaccessibility of high Cd level by gastrointestinal digestion was significantly higher than other two levels. Further, colonic digestion significantly increased the bioaccessibilities of low Cd level (p < 0.05). After intestinal flora fermentation, the bioaccessibilities of different Cd levels significantly decreased (p < 0.05), and high and medium Cd levels had no significant difference (p > 0.05). A Caco‐2 monolayer cell model was established to evaluate the bioavailability of Cd. The bioavailabilities of low and high Cd levels by gastrointestinal digestion were 8.75 and 10.58%, and the bioavailabilities increased by 38.17% and 5.20% after colonic digestion, respectively. Furthermore, Cd could affect diversity, composition, and balance of intestinal flora, and the relative abundances of several genera were correlation with Cd levels in B. griseus.

Published: June 2022

AbstractBackgroundDUAL I China, one of the DUAL trials, assessed efficacy/safety of insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira) in Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) not controlled by oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs).MethodsThis phase 3a, treat‐to‐target multicenter trial randomized participants (glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] 53.0‐85.8 mmol/mol; previous metformin ± another OAD) 2:1:1 to IDegLira (n = 361), degludec (n = 179), or liraglutide (n = 180). Primary endpoint was change in HbA1c after 26 weeks. Secondary endpoints included: HbA1c < 53.0 mmol/mol attainment, weight change, treatment‐emergent hypoglycemia, end‐of‐treatment insulin dose, and safety.ResultsAt 26 weeks, HbA1c had decreased by a mean 18.12 mmoL/moL (IDegLira), 12.37 mmoL/moL (degludec) (estimated treatment difference [ETD] −6.50 mmoL/moL; 95% confidence interval [CI] −7.96, −5.04;P < .0001), and 11.33 mmoL/moL (liraglutide) (ETD −6.87 mmoL/moL; 95% CI −8.33, −5.41;P < 0.0001), indicating noninferiority for IDegLira vs degludec and superiority vs liraglutide. HbA1c < 53.0 mmoL/moL attainment was 77.0% (IDegLira), 46.4% (degludec), and 48.3% (liraglutide). Mean weight change with IDegLira (0.1 kg) was superior to degludec (1.2 kg) (ETD −1.08 kg; 96% CI −1.55, −0.62;P < 0.0001). Severe or confirmed hypoglycemic event rates were 0.24 (IDegLira) and 0.17 (degludec) episodes/participant‐year (estimated rate ratio 1.46; 95% CI 0.71, 3.02;P = .3008, not significant). At the end of treatment, the IDegLira insulin dose was lower (24.5 U/d) vs degludec (30.3 U/d) (ETD −5.49 U; 95% CI −7.77, −3.21;P < 0.0001). No unexpected safety issues occurred.ConclusionsIDegLira is efficacious and well tolerated in Chinese adults with T2D not controlled by OADs.

Published: June 2022

AbstractBackgroundProgrammed cell death protein 1 (PD‐1) blockade plus radiotherapy may be a promising strategy to improve the prognosis of patients with metastatic non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the optimum combined scheme, treatment time of radiotherapy, and irradiated lesion have not been fully determined.MethodsA total of 321 metastatic NSCLC patients treated with immunotherapy were identified. Among them, 107 patients received PD‐1/PD‐ligand 1 (PD‐L1) inhibitors with radiotherapy, while the remaining cases did not receive radiotherapy. Data on overall survival (OS), progression‐free survival (PFS), treatment response and adverse events were collected. Comparisons based on type of radiation, timing of radiotherapy and number of irradiated lesions were performed.ResultsThe median OS in PD‐1/PD‐L1 inhibitors plus radiotherapy was longer than in nonradiotherapy (22.8 vs. 16.6 months, p = 0.022). The median PFS showed a similar trend in this study (9.4 vs. 6.2 months, p = 0.042). Moreover, the combined strategy demonstrated a superior disease control rate and abscopal control rate versus without radiotherapy (both p ≤ 0.001). Further multivariate analysis in the immunotherapy and radiotherapy groups revealed that age below 65 (p = 0.004), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance scores of 0–1 (p = 0.001), oligometastasis (p = 0.006), concurrent combination (p = 0.002), and treated with SRT (p = 0.013) were associated with longer OS. There was a similar incidence of adverse events between the two groups (both p ≥ 0.05).ConclusionsThe combination of PD‐1/PD‐L1 inhibitors plus palliative radiotherapy demonstrated favorable survival and good tolerability in metastatic NSCLC patients.

Abstract

How forest ecosystems respond to climate warming will determine forest trajectories over the next 100 years. However, the potential effects of elevated temperature on forests remain unclear, primarily because of the absence of long‐term and large‐size field warming experiments in forests, especially in Asia.

Here, we present the design and performance of an ecosystem‐scale warming experiment using infrared (IR) heater arrays in a 60‐year‐old temperate mixed forest at Qingyuan Forest CERN in northeastern China.

In paired 108 m2 plots (n = 3), the surface soils were constantly elevated 2°C above control plots with a feedback control system over 4 years (2018–2021). Subsoils down to 60 cm depth were warmed 1.2–2°C. Soil warming did not significantly affect soil moisture either in surface soils or in subsoils. Turn‐off time due to weather extremes (heavy rains, snow) and power outages only accounted for 2.5% of the total warming period.

In conclusion, we provide a proof‐of‐principle setup that allows long‐term analysis of forest response to warming temperatures in large‐size field plots. Importantly, our warming experiment demonstrated the feasibility of IR heater arrays for soil warming in tall‐statured forest ecosystems.

Published: June 2022

AbstractThe pineal gland is a small‐sized, photo neuroendocrine organ in the midline of the brain that synthesises and secretes melatonin and serotonin. Chords and islands of pinealocytes constitute the secretory parenchyma, while glial tissue and calcifications represent degenerative changes. This study examined human postmortem pineal glands to microscopically assess morphological changes possibly associated with clinical data, by using digital techniques. A retrospective autopsy study has been performed on 72 paediatric and adult autopsy cases. The glands have been processed for histological analysis and immunohistochemical staining with synaptophysin (SYN), neuron‐specific enolase (NSE), and neurofilament (NF). Slides were digitally scanned. Morphometric data were obtained using CaseViewer and ImageJ. The comorbidities used for correlation with morphometric data were obesity, type 2 diabetes, adrenal gland adenoma, goitre, chronic pancreatitis, arterial hypertension, and mixed dementia. Thirty‐three females and 39 males were included in the study. Increased secretory parenchyma was found in patients with chronic pancreatitis, arterial hypertension, and adrenal gland adenoma. Reduced activity was found in patients with type 2 diabetes, obesity, advanced pineal calcification, mixed dementia, and old age. There were no changes associated with goitre, cachexia, or Willis's polygon atherosclerosis. No significant differences between gender were found. The activity of the pineal gland can be assessed by quantitative immunohistochemistry of neuroendocrine and structural pinealocyte markers and observation of glial tissue and calcifications. There is a need for further research to evaluate the clinical impact of these morphological changes on the neuroendocrine systems, with clinical implications in endocrinology, neurology, and even psychiatry. Digital techniques offer a more exact analysis of histological data.
