Are teachers and HE are on the same page? Calling for a research–teaching nexus among Ethiopian and Pakistani academics
Authors: Tadesse Endale Fantahun , Khalid Sabika 
Published: January 2022

PurposeIntegrating research into teaching at higher education institutions (HEIs) has become a current goal of Western countries due to the reliability of this approach in promoting lifelong student learning and improving the teaching quality in higher education. However, integrating research into teaching is not as easy as “pushing a button”; instead, it requires the positive perceptions of teachers and university culture under the 21st-century higher education (HE) paradigm. With regard to HE in non-Western countries, only a small amount of literature exists.Design/methodology/approachThe present study adopted a survey design to compare teachers' perceptions towards research–teaching nexus (RTN) among Pakistan and Ethiopian faculties.FindingsThe current study demonstrated that HE should furnish academics with a research environment that stimulates the integration of research into teaching to empower students with knowledge that they can use in future professional careers.Research limitations/implicationsEven though this study examines two nations with several HEIs, it is limited to universities that could be contacted, so future qualitative studies are needed in the HE systems of both countries to obtain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of students' and teachers' actual RTN practice.Practical implicationsAiding teachers with an intensive professional development to which illuminate teachers with research, teaching and integrating skills and reform the curriculum, which empowers teachers and students.Originality/valueThe study is conducted in Ethiopia and Pakistan public higher institutions.

Published: January 2022

PurposeTransformational entrepreneurship (TE) is a concept referring to the ability of entrepreneurs to face global challenges, such as the economic crisis, to improve the well-being of the community. Considering the current scenario of COVID-19, the way digital platforms support TE in overcoming a crisis, specifically the economic crisis caused by the pandemic, was analysed.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the goal, the authors used the case study methodology. The interview was compared for the company analysed stands out due to its use of digital platforms as a tool to increase brand value. The authors conducted a semi-structured, open-ended interview with the entrepreneur and founder of Yamamay, a company operating in the retail sector. The results obtained from validity using the open coding method.FindingsThe main findings show that the implementation of digital platforms supported the entrepreneur in formulating strategic choices that allowed the company to continue offering its services despite the store closures imposed by the pandemic. The whole concept of traditional retail has been and continues to be revised, rationalising it and integrating it with a more omnichannel logic in which digital platforms play a fundamental role.Practical implicationsThis paper provides market participants with useful information regarding the ability of this form of technology to support entrepreneurs in a crisis context. The results could also serve as an example for other retail companies regarding how to manage the consequences of the pandemic.Originality/valueThis contribution represents an extension of the existing literature that deepens the understanding of the relationship between digital platforms and TE in a particular scenario, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The effect of business decisions on the adoption of digital platforms to meet increasing and changing customer needs has been examined.
Paradoxical leadership as sensegiving: stimulating change-readiness and change-oriented performance
Authors: Sparr Jennifer L. , van Knippenberg Daan , Kearney Eric 
Published: January 2022

PurposeParadoxical leadership (PL) is an emerging perspective to understand how leaders help followers deal with paradoxical demands. Recently, the positive relationship between PL and follower performance was established. This paper builds on and extends this research by interpreting PL as sensegiving and developing theory about mediation in the relationship between PL and adaptive and proactive performance.Design/methodology/approachThe paper develops a new measure for PL as sensegiving and provides a test of the mediation model with data from two different sources and two measurement times in a German company.FindingsMultilevel mediation analysis (N = 154) supports the mediation model.Originality/valueThe paper presents sensegiving about paradox as a core element of PL, which informs the choice of change-readiness as mediator. This study also develops and validates a scale to measure PL in future research.
An examination of job embeddedness and organizational commitment in the context of HRD practices
Authors: Philip Jestine , Medina-Craven Michele N. 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to apply the theoretical perspective of job embeddedness to delineate how organizations could bundle and implement specific HRD practices that cater to fit, connections and the psychological costs of leaving to influence employees’ organizational commitment.

Design/methodology/approach
Using a dual-study approach, the current research uses survey responses collected from two samples of working adults to test the theorized framework using structural equation modelling.

Findings
Replicated results reveal that on-the-job embeddedness predicts affective commitment. There was no association between embeddedness at the community level and organizational commitment in either study.

Originality/value
This research offers a fresh perspective to explore the direct influence that embeddedness has on organizational commitment in the context of HRD practices.
Exploring layers of context-related work-from-home demands during COVID-19
Authors: Manroop Laxmikant , Petrovski Daniela 
Published: January 2022

PurposeThis article identifies the contextual demands impacting the work from home (WFH) experience during the COVID-19 pandemic and considers their respective impact on employees' personal and work-related outcomes.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on a qualitative methodology, the authors thematically analyzed written narratives from 41 employees who had been required to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.FindingsData analysis identified four layers of contextual demands (omnibus, task, social and personal) that had resulted in participants being required to work from home. Drawing on this finding, the authors develop a conceptual process model to extend current theory and explain how the respective demands impact individual affective reactions and work-related experiences, health and wellbeing. The authors’ findings offer new insights into contexts where WFH becomes mandatory, indicating that it is characterized by a range of challenges and opportunities.Practical implicationsThis paper signals the need to provide employees with a realistic preview of working from home demands, including interventions to better prepare them to navigate the daily stressors of working from home; and provision of virtual employee assistance programs in the form of online counseling.Originality/valueThis paper explores a unique phenomenon – the mandatory requirement to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on employees' personal and work-related experiences and outcomes.

Published: January 2022

AbstractThis account presents information on all aspects of the biology ofHammarbya paludosa(L.) Kuntze (bog orchid, bog adder's‐mouth orchid) (Malaxis paludosa(L.) Sw.,Ophrys paludosaL.), that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main topics are presented within the standard framework of theBiological Flora of Britain and Ireland: distribution, habitat, communities, responses to biotic factors, responses to environment, structure and physiology, phenology, floral and seed characters, herbivores and disease, history and conservation.Hammarbya paludosais a small bisexual perennial forb. It occurs in open habitats in bogs, mires and heaths as well as semi‐shaded open woodland and, in some areas, in shaded coniferous forest. It is found in a few locations in the southern England (the New Forest, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall), in Cumbria and Northumberland, and in western counties in Wales. It is rare in Ireland but wide spread but very local in Scotland.H. paludosahas a Holarctic circumboreal range. Ninety per cent of known locations are recorded in Northern Europe and the British Isles.Hammarbya paludosaoccurs inSphagnum, other mosses and bare peat, overlying a variety of superficial deposits and sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks. The pH of the rooting substrates ranges from acidic to neutral and slightly alkaline. Its nutrient status is oligotrophic, although occasionally mesotrophic, and very rarely eutrophic. It grows well in conditions of consistent lateral flow of water in the substratum.Hammarbya paludosais visited by small insects of the order Diptera. Two species of gnats are recorded as orchid pollinators: Phronia digitataandSciara thomae. It produces a small amount of nectar but is often considered as non‐rewarding. The seeds are dust‐like, dispersed by wind and water and the species has a short‐term seed bank. Tiny bulbils (propagules) are formed on the leaf margins. They are dispersed by water.Hammarbya paludosahas declined in Britain since the late 19th century primarily due to drainage of its mire habitats in lowland regions of southern and eastern England and Wales. The decline slowed down by the 2000s, and new locations have been found in Scotland and Ireland.
Changing occupational roles for the young adult with cancer: A longitudinal case study
Authors: Wallis Amy , Meredith Pamela , Stanley Mandy 
Published: January 2022

AbstractIntroductionYoung adulthood is a period of rapid occupational role development. While the impact of a cancer diagnosis at this time is likely to be substantial, little research has addressed this topic. The aims of this study were to gain insights into the impact of cancer on occupational roles throughout the cancer disease trajectory, from diagnosis to the palliative stage, for one young person.MethodsA longitudinal case study design was used. Five semi‐structured interviews, layered with photo elicitation, were conducted over 3 years. Qualitative data were analysed thematically.ResultsThree themes emerged: the adjusted plan, establishing rules, and damage control and self‐preservation. Challenges impacting participation in, and meaning of, and the occupational roles themselves shifted over time.ConclusionFindings provide knowledge of occupational adaptation, and the reconstruction of occupational role identity and participation, of the young adult living with cancer along the disease trajectory.
What Role Can Agricultural Policies Play in Encouraging Healthier Diets?
Authors: Brooks Jonathan , Giner Céline 
Published: January 2022

SummaryOver the past twenty years, the effects of agricultural policies on nutrition have received increasing attention from policymakers. A major reason is a worsening epidemic of overweight and obesity that, on top of persistent hunger and undernutrition, has alarming consequences for public health. Excessive calorie consumption and unbalanced diets underpin this trend. Agricultural production fundamentally responds to, rather than drives, final food demands. However, some aspects of structural change within the sector, in particular productivity‐led price declines for energy dense food staples, may be contributing to over‐consumption and unbalanced diets. Agricultural policies that lower the prices of basic food commodities, in particular support for productivity enhancing investments, may reinforce that structural tendency. Yet productivity growth also improves poor people’s access to affordable food and will be essential for sustainable production growth. Prices cannot be used to achieve multiple and often competing policy goals or as the primary lever to arbitrate among them. Ultimately, the challenge for policymakers is to provide effective choices to consumers, and change dietary habits and customs, so that consumers limit their consumption of any product or specific ingredient to healthy amounts at any given price level.

AbstractIncreasing number of individuals worldwide are consuming gluten‐free products, for example, bread, for health and other reasons. However, gluten‐free products are currently expensive and/or their preparation involves the use of specialist machinery or food additives. In this study, we focused on the thickening effect of starch gelatinization and attempted to develop a novel method for gluten‐free rice flour bread production without the use of additives. We aimed to determine the effect of adding high‐temperature water to gluten‐free rice flour on the properties of the resulting batter, primarily gelatinization. The water was tested at temperatures between 50 and 80°C, in 2°C increments. For comparison, control bread from gluten‐free rice flour was made using cold (5°C) water. The addition of water at a temperature between 66 and 70°C significantly improved the specific volume and firmness of bread (p < 0.05, Dunnett's test; compared with control). Additionally, maintaining the gelatinization temperature of the bread batter for approximately 1–10 s and the degree of gelatinization of batter, approximately 5%–10%, were crucial for obtaining good‐quality bread. Further, the addition of water at a temperature above 78°C adversely affected the bread‐making properties. This simple method developed for making high‐quality bread from gluten‐free rice flour will make gluten‐free bread products more widely available to and acceptable by the consumers.Practical ApplicationCurrently, making high‐quality bread from gluten‐free rice flour involves the use of food additives or special rice flour. Here, we present a simple method for producing high‐quality bread by manipulating the temperature of water added during the preparation of rice flour batter. We optimized the method by analyzing the gelatinization properties of the batter and determined the optimal water temperature suitable for bread making. This method yields high‐quality gluten‐free bread and is cost‐effective and simple to implement.

Published: January 2022

SummaryThe multiple teats trait is common in many species of mammals and is considered related to lactation ability in swine. However, in Hu sheep, related gene research is still relatively limited. In this study, a genome‐wide association study was used to identify genetic markers and genes related to the number of teats in the Hu sheep population, a native Chinese sheep breed. A single marker method and several multi‐locus methods were utilized. A total of 61 SNPs were found to be related to the number of teats. Among these, 11 SNPs and one SNP were consistently detected by two and three multi‐locus models respectively. Four SNPs were concordantly identified between the single marker and multi‐locus methods. We also performed quantitative real‐time PCR testing of these identified candidate genes, identifying three genes with significantly different expression. Our study suggested that the LHFP, DPYSL2, and TDP‐43 genes may be related to the number of teats in sheep. The combination of single and multi‐locus GWAS detected additional SNPs not found with only one model. Our results provide new and important insights into the genetic mechanisms of the mammalian multiparous teat phenotype. These findings may be useful for future breeding and understanding the genetics of sheep and other livestock.

Published: January 2022

AbstractBackgroundInformation regarding the efficacy of the TurboHawk atherectomy for the treatment of in‐stent restenosis (ISR) in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) of the lower extremity is scarce. This study was performed to investigate the curative efficacy and safety of the TurboHawk system for ISR in PAD patients over 60 years old.MethodsThe TurboHawk atherectomy device was used to treat ISR in 28 patients with PAD. The intraoperative, 2‐day postoperative, 3‐month, and 2‐year follow‐up data were obtained. Differences in the ankle‐brachial index (ABI), Rutherford class and minimum diameter of the femoral‐popliteal artery were analysed along with the correlations of the factors associated with patency.ResultsTwenty‐six patients (92.86%) had successful surgeries. All patients reported alleviation of pain and intermittent claudication after surgery. One patient who had a malignant hepatoma and coronary heart disease received an amputation on the 76th postoperative day and another patient who had atrial fibrillation received a thrombectomy on the 40th postoperative day. TurboHawk atherectomy increased the ABI (from 0.30 to 0.70, P < 0.0001) and minimum diameter (from 0 to 4.93 mm, P < 0.0001) and reduced the Rutherford class (from 4.00 to 2.00, P < 0.0001). During the 3‐month follow‐up, the median minimum diameter, ABI, and Rutherford class were 4.12, 0.69, and 2.00, respectively. No death happened during the 3‐month follow‐up.ConclusionsThe TurboHawk atherectomy is a safe and effective technique for ISR in PAD patients over 60 years old.
Measurements of basald‐glucose transport through GLUT1 across the intact plasma membrane of isolated segments from single fast‐ and slow‐twitch skeletal muscle fibres of rat

Published: January 2022

AbstractAimTo develop a method for direct measurement of the fluorescentd‐glucose analogue 2‐NBDG transport across the plasma membrane of single skeletal muscle fibres and derive the theoretical framework for determining the kinetic parameters ford‐glucose transport under basal conditions.MethodsA novel method is described for measuring free 2‐NBDG transport across plasma membrane of single rat muscle fibres at rest. The 2‐NBDG uptake was >90% suppressed by 100 µM cytochalasin B in both fast‐twitch and slow‐twitch fibres, indicating that the 2‐NBDG transport is GLUT‐mediated. Fibres were identified as fast‐twitch or slow‐twitch based on the differential sensitivity of their contractile apparatus to Sr2+.ResultsThe time course of 2‐NBDG uptake in the presence of 50 µM 2‐NBDG follows a one‐phase exponential plateau curve and is faster in fast‐twitch (rate constant 0.053 ± 0.0024 s‐1) than in slow‐twitch fibres (rate constant 0.031 ± 0.0021 s‐1). The rate constants were markedly reduced in the presence of 20 mMd‐glucose to 0.0082 ± 0.0004 s‐1and 0.0056 ± 0.0002 s‐1in fast‐twitch and slow‐twitch fibres respectively. 2‐NBDG transport was asymmetric, consistent with GLUT1 being the major functional GLUT isoform transporting 2‐NBDG in muscle fibres at rest. The parameters describing the transport kinetics for both 2‐NBDG andd‐glucose (dissociation constants, Michaelis–Menten constants, maximal rates of uptake and outflow) were calculated from the measurements made with 2‐NBDG.ConclusionFree 2‐NBDG andd‐glucose transport across the plasma membrane of single rat muscle fibres at rest is fast, conclusively showing that the rate‐limiting step ind‐glucose uptake in skeletal muscle is not necessarily the GLUT‐mediated transport ofd‐glucose.
Mainstreaming global mental health: Is there potential to embed psychosocial well‐being impact in all global challenges research?

Published: January 2022

AbstractWe explore if there is potential to embed psychosocial well‐being impact in global challenges research where the primary aims are not mental health related. We are interested in the use of material practices to deliver impact through routine project activities of working with concrete things together. The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) gateway to research was searched for information on Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) grants from 2015 to May 2020. Analysis shows that only 3 per cent of projects self‐categorise as engaging with mental health. Thirty‐six non‐mental health GCRF grants were purposefully sampled for diversity, and each was coded independently by two researchers for relevant information. Findings suggest that 50–70 per cent of non‐mental health GCRF projects already engage implicitly, but nonstrategically, with psychosocial well‐being impact; opportunities for psychosocial well‐being impact, from most to least frequent, are community mobilisation, community building, skills development, positive sense of self, positive emotions and sociocultural identity; the presence of material practice from most to least frequent is as follows: (i) interactions between or enactments upon people, (ii) written materials or images, and (iii) objects; when a material practice was present, it was usually considered usable as a focus to enhance psychosocial well‐being. Our study provides evidence that there are low hanging fruit opportunities to impact psychosocial well‐being across Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through routine project activities.
How to do things with food: The rules and roles of mealtime ‘things’ in everyday family dinners
Authors: Zotevska Emilia , Martín‐Bylund Anna 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThis study examines the local enactment of mealtime rules during everyday family dinners. The data is approached through multimodal interaction analysis and through concepts which reconceptualize materiality and agency. The study found that mealtime rules were generated and sometimes sustained in the continuous interaction between parents, children and food and mealtime things, especially in relation to material textures, for example liquid, solid, can roll, elastic. Family mealtime rules moreover affected how family morality emerged. The study found that family morality was about much more than parental concerns with children's eating, rather, it was likewise about play and enjoyment.
