Authors: Alves Josivan Leite , Nadae Jeniffer de , Carvalho Marly Monteiro de 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThis study aims to explore the moderating effect of communication barriers (CBs) on the relationship between knowledge sharing barriers (KSBs) and knowledge management (KM), considering the two enablers, technology and organizational culture, in the project context.Design/methodology/approachThe authors adopted survey-based research approach. The data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), applying the SmartPLS 3.0 software.FindingsThe results show the significant and positive effect of both enablers (culture and technology) on KM. Furthermore, the authors identify significant relationship between KSBs and communications barriers. Finally, it elucidated the moderate effect of CBs.Research limitations/implicationsThe data are cross-sectional rather than longitudinal, which limits temporal interpretations of the associations between exploitative and exploratory learning and innovative strategies.Practical implicationsThe results can guide organization toward cultural and technological issues supporting KM. Moreover, for project managers and practitioners it shows the importance to avoid communications barriers, driving efforts and resources to manage the flow of information efficiently, developing communication processes that integrate the project team and reducing CBs.Originality/valueThe study reveals complex paths that organizations take toward KM. The research findings show how CBs play a critical moderating role in the relationship between KSBs and KM.
Regime specific spillover between Dow Jones Islamic Market World Index, Islamic gold-backed crypto currencies and the blockchain halal index
Authors: Trichilli Yousra , Boujelbéne Mouna 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between Dow Jones Islamic Market World Index, Islamic gold-backed cryptocurrencies and halal chain in the presence of state (regime) dynamics.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors have used the Markov-switching model to identify bull and bear market regimes. Moreover, the dynamic conditional correlation, the Baba, Engle, Kraft and Kroner- generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity and the wavelet coherence models are applied to detect the presence of spillover and contagion effects.

Findings
The findings indicate various patterns of spillover between halal chain, Dow Jones Islamic Market World Index and Islamic gold-backed cryptocurrencies in high and low volatility regimes, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, the contagion dynamics depend on the bull or bear periods of markets.

Practical implications
These present empirical findings are important for current and potential traders in gold-backed cryptocurrencies in that they facilitate a better understanding of this new type of assets. Indeed, halal chain is a safe haven asset that should be combined with Islamic gold-backed cryptocurrencies for better performance in portfolio optimization and hedging, mainly during the COVID-19 period.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first research on the impact of the halal chain on the Dow Jones Islamic Market World Index return, Islamic gold-backed cryptocurrencies returns in the bear and bull markets around the global crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Reverse mergers and stock price crash risk: evidence from China
Authors: Cheng Zijian , Liu Zhangxin (Frank) , Xie Jiaxin 
Published: October 2022

PurposeDoes the choice of listing process matter in determining a firm's future crash risk? It is understood that the main function of an equity market is to provide price discovery, however, it is not clear whether the choice of listing methods would matter to the shareholders' wealth in the long term. We are the first to answer this question by utilising a hand-collected dataset that identifies all companies that went public via reverse merger (RM) in a growing emerging market.Design/methodology/approachUsing hand-collected data from 2000 to 2018 in China, we follow the literature to construct two crash risk measures for RM and IPO firms. Our main analysis is performed using OLS regressions on the full sample as well as a sample using Propensity Score Matching. Our results hold with a number of robustness checks.FindingsWe find that reverse merger (RM) firms exhibit higher future stock price crash risk than initial public offering (IPO) firms. This relationship is more predominant in non-state-owned enterprises, and we find weak evidence suggesting such relationship weakens as firms stay longer in the market. There is no significant difference in future stock price crash risk between RM firms listed during IPO suspension periods and normal IPO firms.Originality/valueWe are the first to study the choice of listing method and its impact on firms' future stock price crash risk.
As-is facility management approach using LiDAR-based building information modelling: a case study in Egypt
Authors: Gouda Mohamed Ahmed , Mousa Amr 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
Current research efforts exhibit a surge imperative for a building information modelling (BIM) approach that embodies a repository of all relevant data of existing building components while monitoring and consistently recording numerous components’ functions throughout its lifecycle, especially in Egypt. This research paper aims to develop an integrated as-is BIM-facility management (FM) information model for the existing building’s components via a case study, depicting a repository for historical data and knowledge amassed from inspections and conveying maintenance decisions automatically during the FM practices.

Design/methodology/approach
The developed approach pursues four successive steps: data acquisition and processing of building components; components recognition from point clouds; modelling scanned point clouds; and quick response code information transfer to BIM components.

Findings
The proposed approach incorporates the as-is BIM with the building components’ as-is FM information to portray a repository for historical data and knowledge collected from inspections to proactively benefit facility managers in simplifying, expediting and enhancing maintenance decisions automatically during FM practices.

Originality/value
This paper presents a digital alternative to manual maintenance recordkeeping concerning building components to retrieve their as-is and historical data using a case study in Egypt. This paper proposes a broad scan to as-is information BIM approach for the existing building’s components to condone maintenance interventions using a versatile, affordable, readily available and multi-functional method for scanning the building’s components using a handheld tool.

Evaluating the elevation of authoritative health content online during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Walsh Michael James , Baker Stephanie Alice , Wade Matthew 
Published: October 2022

PurposeTo respond to the COVID-19 “infodemic” and combat fraud and misinformation about the virus, social media platforms coordinated with government healthcare agencies around the world to elevate authoritative content about the novel coronavirus. These public health authorities included national and global public health organisations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organisation (WHO). In this article, the authors evaluate the effectiveness of this strategy by asking two key questions: (1) Did people engage with authoritative health content on social media? (2) Was this content trusted?Design/methodology/approachThe authors explore these issues by drawing on data from a global online questionnaire on “Public Trust in Experts” (n = 429) conducted during the initial phase of the pandemic in May 2020, a crucial period when reliable information was urgently required to influence behaviour and minimise harm.FindingsThe authors found that while the majority of those surveyed noticed authoritative health content online, there remained significant issues in terms of Internet users trusting the information shared by government healthcare agencies and public health authorities online.Originality/valueIn what follows, the authors examine the role of trust in implementing this novel public health strategy and assess the capacity for such policies to reduce individual and social harm.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at:https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-12-2021-0655
Exploring police sexual misconduct: an examination of a decade of incidents in a metropolitan agency
Authors: Miller J. Mitchell , Hansen J. Andrew , Lopez Kristina M. 
Published: October 2022

PurposePolice misconduct is a grave matter undermining public trust in law enforcement and police professionalism. While research has specified major forms and causal theories of police misconduct, especially regarding corruption and excessive force, scientific attention to police sexual misconduct (PSM) has been more limited and is addressed here. The purpose of this paper is to address this issue.Design/methodology/approachThe current study was commissioned to examine PSM incidents (n = 50) between 2000 and 2009 in a large, metropolitan, police department in the USA. Data were extracted from agency internal affairs case files, personnel records and disciplinary histories for involved officers.FindingsAnalyses identified common factors and trends across officers, complainants and sexual misconduct events that were dichotomized per case substantiation and observed on a severity continuum from unobtrusive to criminal conduct.Originality/valueThough findings did not evidence a deviant subculture often implicated in the police literature, specific opportunities to reduce officer misconduct, including intensifying administrative sanctioning and other perceptual deterrence measures, were identified.
Increasing crop richness and reducing field sizes provide higher yields to pollinator‐dependent crops

Abstract

Agricultural landscapes cover >60% of terrestrial landscapes. While biodiversity conservation and crop productivity have been seen as mutually exclusive options for a long time, recent research suggests that agricultural landscapes represent significant opportunities for biodiversity conservation outside of traditional protected areas.

Here, we use a unique dataset that includes annual monitoring of 12,300 permanent 25‐ha plots over two decades across Spain to assess how agricultural landscapes are changing over time. We focus particularly on landscape composition and configuration variables such as the diversity of crops grown within a landscape, average plot size or the cover of natural habitats and assess how changes to these variables affect the ability of agricultural landscapes to ensure high yields.

We find potential synergistic strategies that are good for biodiversity conservation and can also lead to increasing crop yields. Specifically, we find that management practices that favour increasing biodiversity values such as maintaining small field sizes and high crop richness values at the landscape scale actually led to the greatest average yield values across 54 crops, 41% of which depend on pollinator activity for reproduction.

Policy implications: While our analysis does not factor in economic costs and benefits, we show that synergy scenarios that are good for biodiversity conservation and crop productivity are possible, yet not as widespread as they could be.

Authors: Huang Shanshan , Ma Chao , Liu Pei 
Published: October 2022

AbstractBased on Landsat MSS/TM/OLI (1975–2018), MODIS NDVI (2000–2015), and DMSP/OLS (1992–2013) multitemporal remote sensing data, as well as annual average precipitation and temperature data from meteorological stations (1980–2018) and SRTM DEM data, this study extracted information on climate change, human activity, and eco‐environmental factors in the Zijin Mountain (ZJM) area of Shanxi Province, and then analyzed the spatiotemporal changes in ecological structure, landscape structure, and climate response. The results revealed that in the ZJM area some sustainable development indicators associated with human activity, ecology, climate, and landscape geography have changed. Specifically, over the 44‐year period from 1975 to 2018, the urban and rural construction land area increased by 4.29 times; in the 22‐year period from 1992 to 2013, the regional light index has increased by 26.9 times; in the past 32 years, that is, from 1987 to 2018, the average vegetation index of the entire basin increased by about 54.7%, the vegetation cover exhibited a gradual positive trend, and the land use types in the ZJM area were mainly converted from bare land to grassland or forest. Compared with 1987, the area of bare land decreased 32.5% by 2018, whereas the forest and grassland areas increased by 85.7% and 40.7%, respectively. In addition, over the 44‐year period from 1975 to 2018, the road density increased by 8.57 times. The area affected by human activities, comprised roads, urban and rural construction land, and their buffer areas, accounted for 64.87% of the total study area. As a result, the fragmentation index of landscape patches has increased by 6.81 times since 1987. We conclude that in the ZJM area, the ecosystem type has transformed from an indigenous mountainous grassland to mountainous arid agriculture, and from an isolated habitat to a fragmented habitat.
Decent work and proactive behaviors: a moderated chain mediation model
Authors: Sheng Xinyi , Zhou Hao 
Published: October 2022

Decent work is eagerly expected by employees. The improvement of decent work requires the cooperation of business enterprises. This study explores the benefits of decent work on organizational outcomes through stimulating employees' proactive behaviors: taking charge and voice behavior. The findings are conductive to the achievement of decent work and create a win‐win situation. Building on social identity theory and self‐determination theory, we proposed and assessed a moderated chain mediation model. We tested this new theoretical model with data collected from 360 employees. Decent work motivates taking charge and voice through the chain mediation effects of perceived insider status (first stage) and gratitude and repayment (second stage). Furthermore, thriving at work moderates the positive relationship between gratitude and repayment and taking charge. It also moderates the indirect effect of decent work on taking charge. Theoretical contributions and managerial implications are discussed.
Employability and employment outcomes of nutrition science graduates: A qualitative exploration
Authors: Barber Charlotte , Blair Merran , McCaffrey Tracy A. , Palermo Claire 
Published: October 2022

AbstractAimsThis study aimed to explore experiences of employability and employment for graduates of a three‐year nutrition science degree.MethodsQualitative narrative interviews were conducted with a maximum variation sample of 22 nutrition science graduates from one large university in Australia. All graduates (n = 126) from the initiation of the degree in 2015 to current 2021 graduates were eligible for inclusion if they had not gone on to study dietetics. The interviews elicited their stories and experiences of employability and journeys to employment post‐graduation. Interviews were analysed using the framework method.ResultsAnalysis of the graduate interviews identified four themes: (1) from graduation to employment; (2) there are challenges to obtaining employment; (3) curriculum can enable employability; and (4) employability resources can support career prospects. In this group, the nutrition science degree on its own was not deemed sufficient to land employment in a desired nutrition‐related field. The process of obtaining employment was supported by work experience, social networks, interpersonal skills, and a willingness to relocate.ConclusionBuilding employability skills in the curriculum through the development of professional social networks and a professional identity may be important in improving the employability of nutrition science graduates.
Controversial role of mast cells in NSCLC tumor progression and angiogenesis
Authors: Longo Vito , Catino Annamaria , Montrone MIchele , Galetta Domenico , Ribatti Domenico 
Published: October 2022

AbstractMast cells (MCs) are multifunctional immune cells implicated in both physiological and pathological processes. Among the latter, MCs play a crucial role in cancer. Many studies have shown a correlation between MCs and tumor progression in several solid and hematological malignancies. In particular, MCs can directly promote tumor growth via c‐kit/stem cell factor–dependent signaling and via the release of histamine, which modulate tumor growth through H1 and H2 receptors. At the same time, MCs can increase tumor progression by stimulating angiogenesis via both proangiogenic cytokines stored in their cytoplasm, and by acting on the tumor microenvironment and extracellular matrix. With regard to NSCLC, the role of MCs has not yet been established, with studies showing a correlation with a poor prognosis on the one hand and suggesting a protective effect of MCs on the other hand. These controversial evidences are at least, in part, due to the heterogeneity of the studies exploring the role of MCs in NSCLC, with some studies describing only the MC count without specification of the activation and degranulation state, and without reporting the intratumoral localization and the proximity to other immune and cancer cells. A better knowledge of the role of MCs in NSCLC is mandatory, not only to define their prognostic and predictive proprieties but also because targeting them could be a possible therapeutic strategy.
