The relationship between facilities management service quality and patients’ health-care experience: the mediating effect of adequacy of health-care resource
Authors: Amankwah Oti , Choong Weng Wai , Boakye-Agyeman Naana Amakie 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
With challenges in health-care facilities management (FM) and adequacy of health-care resources constraints in most developing countries, improving patient’s health-care experience has become of strategic importance in public health-care delivery. This paper aims to investigate the mediating effect of adequacy of health-care resources on the relationship between the quality of health-care FM services and patient’s health-care experience.

Design/methodology/approach
This cross-sectional study adopts a quantitative approach based on a questionnaire survey conducted on 660 patients of three teaching hospitals in Ghana. In total, 622 valid questionnaires were used for data analysis using partial least squares structural equation modelling.

Findings
The mediating effect of adequacy of health-care resources on the relationship between responsiveness and tangibility and patients’ health-care experience were supported, while that of empathy, reliability and assurance were not supported. The relationship between and adequacy of health-care resources and patients’ health-care experience was also supported.

Research limitations/implications
The study limitation is that it was only the teaching hospitals that were surveyed. In future studies, a comparative analysis can be conducted between both public and private hospitals. Other constructs and relationships such as the mediating effect of the quality of health-care administrative process on the relationship between FM service quality and patients’ health-care experience as well as the moderation effect of adequacy of health-care resource on the relationship between FM service quality and patients’ health-care experience can also be tested. Future studies on the same subject can use health-care workers as the respondents of the study.

Practical implications
The result should inspire health-care managers to prioritize attention on health-care FM to create and sustain a decent health-care environment. Facilities managers should ensure standards are not compromised by keeping health-care resources in good condition through the organisation and management of resources.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is one of the pioneer studies to test the mediating effect of adequacy of health-care resources on the relationship between patient’s health-care experience and health-care FM service quality. The proposed framework can be adapted to various sectors and countries as this empirical validation extends knowledge.
Connectedness of green investments and uncertainties: new evidence from emerging markets
Authors: Ogbonna Ahamuefula Ephraim , Olubusoye Olusanya Elisa 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the response of green investments of emerging countries to own-market uncertainty, oil-market uncertainty and COVID-19 effect/geo-political risks (GPRs), using the tail risks of corresponding markets as measures of uncertainty.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs Westerlund and Narayan (2015) (WN)-type distributed lag model that simultaneously accounts for persistence, endogeneity and conditional heteroscedasticity, within a single model framework. The tail risks are obtained using conditional standard deviation of the residuals from an asymmetric autoregressive moving average – ARMA(1,1) – generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity – GARCH(1,1) model framework with Gaussian innovation. For out-of-sample forecast evaluation, the study employs root mean square error (RMSE), and Clark and West (2007) (CW) test for pairwise comparison of nested models, under three forecast horizons; providing statistical justification for incorporating oil tail risks and COVID-19 effects or GPRs in the predictive model.FindingsGreen returns responds significantly to own-market uncertainty (mostly positively), oil-market uncertainty (mostly positively) as well as the COVID-19 effect (mostly negatively), with some evidence of hedging potential against uncertainties that are external to the green investments market. Also, incorporating external uncertainties improves the in-sample predictability and out-of-sample forecasts, and yields some economic gains.Originality/valueThis study contributes originally to the green market-uncertainty literature in four ways. First, it generates daily tail risks (a more realistic measure of uncertainty) for emerging countries’ green returns and global oil prices. Second, it employs WN-type distributed lag model that is well suited to account for conditional heteroscedasticity, endogeneity and persistence effects; which characterizes financial series. Third, it presents both in-sample predictability and out-of-sample forecast performances. Fourth, it provides the economic gains of incorporating own-market, oil-market and COVID-19 uncertainty.
Cooling off innovation hotspots: smaller businesses need to look wide and deep
Authors: Sinha Kanhaiya Kumar , Saunders Chad , Raby Simon Oliver 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to provide evidence-based managerial advice for identifying, developing and managing a broad-based innovation system for organizations to reap optimal performance outcomes.

Design/methodology/approach
The general review is based upon large-scale peer-reviewed academic studies of innovation practices in organizations and their performance outcomes and synthesized here through two illustrative case studies. The first case deals with Brightsquid Secure Communications as they expanded their product-focused innovation practices to include broad-based organizational improvements, while the second case focuses on Trimet Building Products and their use of broad-based innovation to turn around declining revenue.

Findings
Using the SME context, this study outlines an innovation management model that highlights the importance of leadership attention on organization-wide innovation and the interdependence of investments across functions.[AQ2] To enhance their performance, SMEs must implement broad learning programs across the organization that provides formal and informal cross-training and takes a cross-functional approach to innovation and problem-solving.

Originality/value
Reviewing and integrating the literature on different innovation types and outcomes, this study proposes a novel broad-based innovation model that guides firms that overemphasize improvements within a single function. Further, drawing on the learning literature, this paper recommends an organizational learning and collaboration model to achieve organization-wide innovation for optimal outcomes.
Scoping child mental health service capacity in South Africa disadvantaged communities: community provider perspectives
Authors: Nhedzi Abyshey , Haffejee Sadiyya , O'Reilly Michelle , Vostanis Panos 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
This study aims to establish the perspectives of community providers on challenges and enablers in developing child mental health capacity in disadvantaged communities in South Africa.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors involved 29 community providers operating in a large urban-deprived area in the Gauteng Province, east of Johannesburg. Community providers had educational, social and health care backgrounds. Their perspectives were captured through three focus groups, two participatory workshops and reflective diaries. Data were integrated and subjected to inductive thematic analysis.

Findings
Three interlinked themes were identified. Community mobilization was viewed as pre-requisite through mental health awareness and strategies to engage children, youth and parents. Service provision should take into consideration contextual factors, predominantly inequalities, lack of basic needs and gender-based issues (domestic violence, teenage pregnancy and single motherhood). Participants referred to severe mental health needs, and related to physical health conditions, disabilities and impairments, rather than to common mental health problems or wellbeing. They proposed that capacity building should tap into existing resources and integrate with support systems through collaborative working.

Practical implications
Child mental health policy and service design in Majority World Countries (MWCs), should involve all informal and structural support systems and stakeholders. Contextual factors require consideration, especially in disadvantaged communities and low-resource settings, and should be addressed through joined up working.

Originality/value
Children’s mental health needs are largely unmet in MWC-disadvantaged communities. These findings capture the experiences and perspectives of various community providers on how to enhance mental health provision by mobilizing communities and resources.
Post-buckling analysis of shell-like structures using an implicit dynamic time integration scheme
Authors: Boutagouga Djamel , Mamouri Said 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate post-buckling responses of shell-like structures using an implicit conservative-decaying time integration dynamic scheme.Design/methodology/approachIn this work, the authors have proposed the use of a four-node quadrilateral flat shell finite element with drilling rotational degree of freedom within the framework of an updated Lagrangian formulation mutually with an implicit conservative-dissipative time integration dynamic scheme.FindingsSeveral numerical simulations were considered to evaluate the accuracy, robustness, stability and the capacity of the considered time integration scheme to dissipate numerical noise in the presence of high frequencies. The obtained results illustrate a very satisfying performance of the implicit conservative-dissipative direct time integration scheme conjointly with the quadrilateral flat shell finite element with drilling rotation.Originality/valueThe authors have investigated the potential of the implicit dynamic scheme to deal with unstable branches after limit points in the non-linear post-buckling response of shell structures with no need for structural damping. The capability of the studied algorithm to study buckling and post-buckling behaviour of thin shell structures is illustrated through several numerical examples.
Humble leadership and employee creative performance in China: the roles of boundary spanning behavior and traditionality
Authors: Zheng Zhang , Ahmed Rahil Irfan 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThis paper examined the mediating role of boundary spanning behavior and the moderating effects of traditionality linking humble leadership and employee creative performance from the perspective of Social Exchange Theory (SET) to reveal the behavioral mechanism and boundary condition regarding the influence of humble leadership on creative performance.Design/methodology/approachA sample of 276 employees and the supervisors from 8 companies in China was taken using two-wave data.FindingsThe results indicated that humble leadership was positively related to employee creative performance, and boundary spanning behavior partially mediated the relationship between humble leadership and employee creative performance. Traditionality strengthens the mediation process when traditionality is high.Practical implicationsThese findings provide several theoretical and practical implications for the domains of humble leadership and boundary spanning behavior. For example, human resource (HR) departments can recruit leaders with high humility and cultivate team leaders through systematic training programs about self-awareness, openness and self-transcendence; team leaders should encourage employees to participate in boundary spanning activities and hiring managers select employees with high traditionality to synergize with leader humility.Originality/valueBased on the SET, this paper explored the behavioral mechanism between humble leadership and creative performance and enriched the prior research, which is from the cognitive or emotional view, and further answered the question “what are the employees' behavioral responses when they confront the humble leadership”.
Application of SCADA data in wind turbine fault detection – a review
Authors: Ma Junyan , Yuan Yiping 
Published: November 2022

PurposeWith the rapid increase in the number of installed wind turbines (WTs) worldwide, requirements and expenses of maintenance have also increased significantly. The condition monitoring (CM) of WT provides a strong “soft guarantee” for preventive maintenance. The supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system records a huge amount of condition data, which has become an effective means of CM. The main objective of the present study is to summarize the application of SCADA data to fault detection in wind turbines, analyze its advantages and disadvantages and predict the potential of future investigations on the use of SCADA data for fault detection.Design/methodology/approachThe authors first review the means of WT CM and summarize the characteristics of CM based on SCADA data. To ensure the quality of SCADA data, data preprocessing methods are analyzed and compared. Then, the failure modes of the key components are discussed and the SCADA data used for fault detection of each component are compared. Moreover, the fault detection methods for WT are classified and a general framework for fault detection is proposed. Finally, the issues in the WT fault detection method based on SCADA data are reviewed.FindingsBased on the performed analyses, it is found that although the fault detection accuracy based on SCADA data is relatively poor, it has low capital expenses and low computational cost. More specifically, when there is scarce fault data, the normal SCADA data can be used to detect the fault time. However, the specific fault type cannot be identified in this way. When a large amount of fault data are accumulated in the SCADA system, it can not only detect the occurrence time of the fault but also identify the specific fault type.Originality/valueThe main contribution of the present study is to summarize the pre-processing methods for SCADA data, the data required for fault detection of key components and the characteristics of the fault detection model. Then we propose a general fault detection framework for wind turbines based on SCADA data, where the maintenance workers can choose the appropriate fault detection method according to different fault detection requirements and data resources. This article is expected to provide guidance for fault detection based on time-series sensor signals and be of interest to researchers, maintenance workers and managers.
The value of dermoscopy and high‐frequency ultrasound in staging morphea
Authors: Zhang Shan , Zhu Qing‐Li , Xiao Meng‐Su , Liu Jie 
Published: November 2022

AbstractMorphea is an autoimmune disease characterized by skin sclerosis. According to the disease progression, morphea can be divided into inflammatory, sclerotic, and atrophic stages. Dermoscopy and high‐frequency ultrasound (HF‐US) have been applied in the noninvasive evaluation of many inflammatory diseases, but studies on the skin imaging features of the different stages of morphea are limited. To analyze the dermoscopic and HF‐US features of the different stages of morphea and explore their auxiliary value in staging the disease, we followed 34 patients with histopathology‐confirmed morphea between April 2018 and July 2021 who underwent dermoscopy and 50 and 20 MHz HF‐US. Fisher's exact test was used to assess the differences in dermoscopic and HF‐US features among patients with different stages of morphea. Seven patients were classified as the inflammatory stage, 20 as the sclerotic stage, and seven as the atrophic stage by histopathology. The most common dermoscopic features of inflammatory lesions were red structureless areas (100%) and linear curved vessels (85.7%). White clouds and shiny white streaks could be seen in 100% and 90% of sclerotic lesions, respectively. Among atrophic lesions, pigmentary structures (100%) and red structureless areas (85.7%) were the main features. In the HF‐US examination, inflammatory lesions showed hypoechogenicity around the appendages (85.7%), a hypoechogenic dermis (71.4%), and an unclear boundary between the dermis and the subcutaneous fat (71.4%). Among lesions of the sclerotic stage, the main HF‐US characteristics included a hyperechogenic dermis (85.0%), acoustic attenuation of the dermis (70.0%), and an unclear boundary between the dermis and the subcutaneous fat (85.0%). All atrophic lesions showed a hyperechogenic dermis, and 28.6% showed an unclear boundary between the dermis and the subcutaneous fat. Dermoscopy and HF‐US can reveal the characteristic features of the different stages of morphea and show good correspondence with the histopathology. Dermoscopy and HF‐US can provide important information for the staging of morphea.
Privacy‐Enhancing Factors and Consumer Concerns: The Moderating Effects of the General Data Protection Regulation
Authors: Evans Richard , Hajli Nick , Nisar Tahir M. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractPrivacy is a fundamental right, with humans often wanting to keep their information private. Technological advancements are now challenging this right by reducing our control and creating enhanced privacy risks. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a law introduced to protect this right. The aim of this paper is to analyse how privacy‐enhancing factors can influence consumer privacy concerns and whether these have been affected by consumer beliefs relating to the GDPR. This paper examines the influence of four privacy‐enhancing factors (i.e. organizational trust, perceived personalization value, perceived consumer control and data transparency), which mostly have personality or attitude‐like traits, and the GDPR as a moderating variable. Data were collected from 1154 respondents residing in European Union countries. Results reveal that personalization value has a significant negative relationship with privacy concerns, while consumer control shares a significant positive relationship with privacy concerns. Organizational trust and data transparency did not have a significant effect on privacy concerns. The relationship between the privacy‐enhancing factors and privacy concerns was not moderated by consumer belief in the GDPR. Implications and recommendations are provided to indicate which privacy‐enhancing factors should be chosen to reduce privacy concerns and to highlight the role of the GDPR in moderating these relationships. Ultimately, the study's findings provide useful insights for firms operating online in Europe and marketers aiming to reduce their consumers’ privacy concerns.
Homeobox protein A1‐like and DNA methylation regulate embryo‐specific Zinc finger protein 615 gene expression and embryonic development in the silkworm Bombyx mori

Published: November 2022

AbstractDNA methylation and transcription factors play roles in gene expression and animal development. In insects, DNA methylation modifies gene bodies, but how DNA methylation and transcription factors regulate gene expression is unclear. In this study, we investigated the mechanism that regulates the expression of Bombyx mori Zinc finger protein 615 (ZnF 615), which is a downstream gene of DNA methyltransferase 1 (Dnmt1), and its effects on the regulation of embryonic development. By progressively truncating the ZnF 615 promoter, it was found that the −223 and −190 nt region, which contains homeobox (Hox) protein cis‐regulatory elements (CREs), had the greatest impact on the transcription of ZnF 615. RNA interference (RNAi)‐mediated knockdown and overexpression of Hox family genes showed that Hox A1‐like can enhance the messenger RNA level of ZnF 615. Further studies showed that Hox A1‐like regulates ZnF 615 expression by directly binding to the −223 and −190 nt region of its promoter. Simultaneous RNAi‐mediated knockdown or overexpression of Hox A1‐like and Dnmt1 significantly inhibited or enhanced the regulatory effect of either gene alone on ZnF 615 expression, suggesting that both DNA methylation of gene bodies and binding of transcription factors to promoters are essential for gene expression. RNAi‐mediated knockdown of Hox A1‐like and Dnmt1 showed that the embryonic development was retarded and the hatching rate was decreased. Taken together, these data suggest that Hox A1‐like and DNA methylation enhance the expression of ZnF 615, thereby affecting the development of B. mori embryos.
Digitizing the coral reef: Machine learning of underwater spectral images enables dense taxonomic mapping of benthic habitats
Authors: Schürholz Daniel , Chennu Arjun 
Published: November 2022

Abstract

Coral reefs are the most biodiverse marine ecosystems, and host a wide range of taxonomic diversity in a complex spatial community structure. Existing coral reef survey methods struggle to accurately capture the taxonomic detail within the complex spatial structure of benthic communities.

We propose a workflow to leverage underwater hyperspectral image transects and two machine learning algorithms to produce dense habitat maps of 1150 m2 of reefs across the Curaçao coastline. Our multi‐method workflow labelled all 500+ million pixels with one of 43 classes at taxonomic family, genus or species level for corals, algae, sponges, or to substrate labels such as sediment, turf algae and cyanobacterial mats.

With low annotation effort (only 2% of pixels) and no external data, our workflow enables accurate (Fbeta of 87%) survey‐scale mapping, with unprecedented thematic detail and with fine spatial resolution (2.5 cm/pixel). Our assessments of the composition and configuration of the benthic communities of 23 image transects showed high consistency.

Digitizing the reef habitat and community structure enables validation and novel analysis of pattern and scale in coral reef ecology. Our dense habitat maps reveal the inadequacies of point sampling methods to accurately describe reef benthic communities.
