Authors: Ebekozien Andrew , Ayo-Odifiri Solomon Oisasoje , Nwaole Angeline Ngozika Chibuike , Ibeabuchi Aginah Lawrence , Uwadia Felix Ebholo 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
The high consumption of energy by buildings may have enhanced land degradation, flooding, air pollution and many other hazardous environmental issues. However, green practices in buildings have been proved as one of the successful technologies to mitigate these issues. Past studies have shown lax green practices in Nigerian buildings. Concerning public hospital buildings, this is yet to be explored. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the barriers to green practices and proffer possible policy solutions to promote hospital green buildings.

Design/methodology/approach
In attaining these objectives, the view of hospital building contractors, design team, hospital management and policymakers in the relevant ministries/agencies was engaged via virtual interviews. The collated data were analysed and presented in the thematic pattern.

Findings
Findings show that green building construction is extremely low in Nigeria, but the worst hit is the health-care buildings across the states. Government/policy-related, organisational/leadership-related, financial-related, technical-related, design team-related and stakeholders’ behaviour-related barriers emerged as the main six themes of barriers affecting public hospital green buildings implementation initiatives. Findings show that proffering possible policies to addressing these barriers may improve public hospital green construction across the states.

Research limitations/implications
This paper is limited to barriers to green buildings implementation in public hospitals in Nigeria, and data collection was through virtual interviews but does not affect the strength of the findings. Thus, this paper suggests that the sub-themes and variables/items that emerged from the collated data as presented in Figure 1 can be further developed quantitatively via questionnaire survey to validate and improve the reliability of results from this paper.

Practical implications
As part of this study’s implications, suggestions from this paper will stir up policymakers’ decisions, to be tailored towards achieving green buildings implementation initiatives in Nigerian public hospitals.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is probably the first that attempted to investigate the barriers to green buildings implementation in public hospitals in Nigeria.
Interdependencies or integration? A qualitative evaluation of a national emergency department improvement programme
Authors: Jones Katie , Rance Jaynie Y. 
Published: August 2022

PurposeIn Wales (United Kingdom (UK)), a programme known as the emergency department quality and delivery framework (EDQDF) was launched in 2018 with the purpose of designing a framework of what good looks like for emergency care and then implementing this framework in a measurable and sustainable way.Design/methodology/approachA gatekeeper emailed attendees of the EDQDF launch event (n = 70), providing recipients with an information sheet and inviting them to contact the researcher (KJ) if they agreed to be interviewed. The authors conducted semi-structured interviews with all respondents (n = 8) after three invitation rounds sent between August and October 2021. The authors used a thematic analysis approach (Braun and Clarke, 2006).FindingsParticipants agreed with the aims and design of the framework, and the authors identified four themes relating to barriers and to facilitators of implementation. Participants perceive a softening of geographical boundaries through the project, but findings correspond with evidence generated elsewhere regarding emergency departments’ (EDs') system-wide interdependencies and a need for cross-organisational collaboration.Research limitations/implicationsA quality improvement method for health services known as CAREMORE® is found to be a useful approach for the collaborative design of service improvements. Participants perceive a softening of geographical boundaries through the project, but the interviews correspond with evidence generated elsewhere regarding EDs' system-wide interdependencies and a need for cross-organisational collaboration.Practical implicationsThis evaluation relies on a relatively small number of participants, but as a qualitative evaluation it does not aim towards broadly generalisable findings but rather contributes to broad field concerned with the production of knowledge on the implementation of health service improvements. The project under evaluation is also on-going, and the findings reflect the period from inception to December 2021, but not beyond that date.Originality/valueThis evaluation builds upon previous work in relation to the application of CAREMORE to design a quality improvement framework in a complex area (see Nelson et al., 2018), but this evaluation considers the implementation process. The findings echo research elsewhere and add to a growing body of research that underlines system interconnectivities that impact upon the emergency department.
Employee branding dimensions and brand citizenship behaviour: exploring the role of mediators in the hospitality context
Authors: Dhiman Praveen , Arora Sangeeta 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
Relying on social identity and social exchange perspectives, the present study aims to investigate the role of employee branding dimensions in stimulating employees’ brand citizenship behaviour (BCB) directly and indirectly through job satisfaction and affective brand commitment.

Design/methodology/approach
A field-survey method was used to target customer-contact employees of luxury chain hotels. Regression-based approach and bootstrap method (via PROCESS MACRO, Model 6) were applied to test the direct and indirect effects.

Findings
The results show that perceived external brand prestige has a strong direct effect on BCB. Through mediation analysis, this study observes that job satisfaction and affective brand commitment have significant mediation effects (i.e. individual, parallel and sequential) between employee branding dimensions and BCB. Analysing the results precisely, job satisfaction and affective brand commitment have the lowest sequential mediation effect and the greatest parallel mediation effect concerning the said relationships.

Originality/value
This study is novel in applying a three-path mediation model in the Indian hospitality context, considering a multi-dimensional perspective of employee branding to capture its diverse impact on BCB directly and indirectly through job satisfaction and affective brand commitment. Moreover, this study advances employee branding research by considering the under-investigated mediating (individual, parallel and sequential) role of job satisfaction and affective brand commitment.

Authors: Grira Jocelyn , Guizani Sana , Kahloul Ines 
Published: July 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyze the hedging capacity of Bitcoin in relation to the S&P 500 index during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachIn order to investigate the hedging features of Bitcoin in relation to the S&P 500 index during the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors use the Granger causality applied on a daily sample of observations ranging from January 1st, 2019 to December 31st, 2020. As robustness checks, the authors use autoregressive models to test the validity of the findings.FindingsUsing time series of daily data from 1st January 2019 to 31st December 2020, the results show that Bitcoin is not considered as a safe haven because it moves at the same pace as the S&P 500. As a robustness check, the authors use the exponential GARCH model and confirm our previous findings. Overall, the study contributes to the debate on both COVID-19's impact on financial systems and the hypothesis of Bitcoin being a safe haven during extreme global crises.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the debate on both COVID-19's impact on financial systems and the hypothesis of Bitcoin being a safe haven during extreme global crises.
Studying domain structure: a comparative analysis of bibliographic coupling analysis and co-citation analysis considering all authors
Authors: Song Yanhui , Lei Lixin , Wu Lijuan , Chen Shiji 
Published: August 2022

PurposeThis paper focuses on the differences in domain intellectual structure discovery between author bibliographic coupling analysis (ABCA) and author co-citation analysis (ACA) considering all authors. The purpose of this study is to examine whether and in what ways these two all-author network approaches yield different results.Design/methodology/approachThe sample was collected from the database of Web of Science, including all articles published inScientometrics and Journal of Informetricsfrom 2011 to 2020. First, 100 representative authors were selected from each set, and ABCA matrices and ACA matrices were constructed. Second, factor analysis was carried out on the matrices, to detect the intellectual structure of scientometrics and informetrics.FindingsThe intellectual structures identified by ABCA and ACA are similar overall, but the results differ somewhat when it comes to specific structures. The ABCA is more sensitive to some highly collaborative research teams and presents a clearer picture of current intellectual structures and trends while ACA seems to have some advantages in representing the more traditional and proven research topics in the field. The combined use of ABCA and ACA allows for a more comprehensive and specific intellectual structure of research fields.Originality/valueThis paper compares the performance of ABCA and ACA detecting the intellectual structure of the domain from the perspective of all authors, revealing the intellectual structure of scientometrics and informetrics comprehensively.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at:https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-12-2020-0540.

Published: July 2022

AbstractWillingness‐to‐pay (WTP) and time‐trade‐off (TTO) are widely used as measures of disease burden. However, the sensitivity of the metrics has not been compared in psoriasis. This article aims to report WTP and TTO in Chinese psoriasis patients, and to compare the WTPcure (USD), WTPcontrol (%), and TTO regarding the sensitivity in measuring the burden of psoriasis. Patients were recruited from a community‐based cohort, a tertiary hospital, and an online forum. WTP was elicited for two scenarios: WTP for controlling the disease and WTP for curing the disease. WTPcontrol was elicited by asking about the percentage of monthly income that the participant patients would like to pay to fully control the clinical symptoms of psoriasis and WTPcure was elicited as absolute money for curing the disease. The evaluation of WTP and TTO were referred to the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) as the indicator of clinical severity, and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) as the measure of impaired quality‐of‐life. Data distribution, concurrent validity, and capability of discriminating moderate‐to‐severe psoriasis (receiver operating characteristic curve, ROC) were compared among the indices. A total of 479 patients were enrolled from the cohort (88), hospital (175), and web (216). WTPcontrol was significantly higher in patients with PASI>10 than those with PASI<10, while TTO was significantly higher in patients with DLQI>10 than those with DLQI<10. WTP control showed a positive association with PASI in mild psoriasis (r = 0.36, p < 0.001), while TTO showed an inverse correlation to DLQI in different severity subgroups, respectively (r = −0.20, p = 0.001). ROC analysis showed consistent results that WTP control was superior in discriminating patients with PASI>10, while WTP control was better in discriminating DLQI>10. WTPcure demonstrated no significant results. WTPcontrol is superior in detecting mild psoriasis compared to TTO, while TTO is more sensitive in measuring the impaired QoL.
Is species richness mediated by functional and genetic divergence? A global analysis in birds
Authors: Crouch Nicholas M. A. , Jablonski David 
Published: August 2022

AbstractUnravelling why species richness shows such dramatic spatial variation is an ongoing challenge. Common to many theories is that increasing species richness (e.g. with latitude) requires a compensatory trade‐off on an axis of species' ecology. Spatial variation in species richness may also affect genetic diversity if large numbers of coexisting, related species result in smaller population sizes.Here, we test whether increasing species richness results in differential occupation of morphospace by the constituent species, or decreases species' genetic diversity. We test for two potential mechanisms of morphological accommodation: denser packing in ecomorphological space, and expansion of the space. We then test whether species differ in their nucleotide diversity depending on allopatry or sympatry with relatives, indicative of potential genetic consequences of coexistence that would reduce genetic diversity in sympatry. We ask these questions in a spatially explicit framework, using a global database of avian functional trait measurements in combination with >120,000 sequences downloaded from GenBank.We find that higher species richness within families is not systematically correlated with either packing in morphological space or overdispersion but, at the Class level, we find a general positive relationship between packing and species richness, but that points sampled in the tropics have comparatively greater packing than temperate ones relative to their species richness. We find limited evidence that geographical co‐occurrence with closely related species or tropical distributions decreases nucleotide diversity of nuclear genes; however, this requires further analysis.Our results suggest that avian families can accumulate species regionally with minimal tradeoffs or cost, implying that external biotic factors do not limit species richness.Read the freePlain Language Summaryfor this article on the Journal blog.
Deep structure of the Verkhnetovskaya kimberlite pipe in the Arkhangelsk diamondiferous province according to passive seismic and radiological methods
Authors: Danilov K. B. , Yakovlev E. Yu , Afonin N. Yu , Druzhinin S. V. 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThe exploration of kimberlite pipes is difficult. However, information about their deep structure is necessary for tasks such as prospecting, exploration and development of kimberlite pipes. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the efficiency of deep structure research. In addition, pipes in different territories differ in their properties. The latter requires the study of the peculiarities of the manifestation of pipes in various areas. The Verkhnetovskaya pipe is the only kimberlite object currently known in the Chernoozerskaya area of the Arkhangelsk diamondiferous province. This indicates the need for a comprehensive study of this pipe. The main reason it is difficult to study the pipes of the Arkhangelsk diamondiferous province is the large overburden thickness. In order to increase the efficiency of prospecting, we used a set of methods: microseismic sounding method, passive seismic interferometry, H/V method, gamma spectrometry and emanation mapping. The analysis showed that a new field measurement technique was tested in this research, resulting in more stable data. The main improvement in field measurements is the determination of the optimal accumulation time of microseism when implementing the microseismic sounding method. In addition, the location of the stations in the implementation of passive interferometry made it possible to minimize the influence of the azimuthal distribution of ambient noise sources. The studies made it possible to construct the geophysical image of the investigated pipe and the surrounding medium. As a result, it was shown that the northwestern side has a vertical structure, while according to the drilling data, the side has a uniform slope. In particular, the presence of previously unknown lateral channels was shown. The proposed methodology made it possible to obtain important information with minimal time and technical costs, confirming the applicability of the proposed methodology in the Chernoozerskaya area.
Disease in regenerating pine forests linked to temperature and pathogen spillover from the canopy

Published: July 2022

Abstract

Previous investigations of the role of pathogens as drivers of community dynamics in forests have mostly focused on interspecific interactions between canopy trees and seedlings via soil feedbacks. However, feedbacks can also occur directly between canopy trees and seedlings when spores of foliar and stem pathogens fall onto seedlings regenerating underneath the canopy.

We studied pathogen spillover between canopy trees and conspecific and heterospecific regeneration in the Pinus nigra–Diplodia sapinea pathosystem. We sampled 70 pine stands distributed across a temperature gradient of 9.5–13.7°C (mean annual temperature). In each stand, we linked spore load and spore survival in the canopy with pathogen biomass and disease severity in regenerating seedlings. The density of regenerating seedlings and the health status of conspecific and heterospecific seedlings were also measured. The strength of canopy–understorey interactions was correlated with both climatic and stand variables.

The most severe symptoms of disease in regenerating seedlings were found in the warmest stands. Structural equation models suggested that disease severity in seedlings was mediated by an increased spore spillover from the canopy. Temperature also increased the pathogen survival rate within seedlings, further contributing to disease severity. Interestingly, disease severity in the canopy did not correlate with spore load in the canopy, suggesting that adult trees were spilling pathogens onto the understorey regardless of their health status. Pathogen spillover increased in more open stands. Greater disease severity in seedlings correlated with stands with a higher density of oak seedlings.

Synthesis. These results suggest an understudied mechanism of the Janzen–Connell theory, according to which, canopy–understorey negative feedbacks could be driven by canopy pathogens. Our data also suggest that temperature shapes canopy–understorey interactions, which implies that under a warming climate scenario, an acceleration of conspecific negative feedbacks could be expected, with implications for forest regeneration dynamics.
Exactly Where Does the River Need Space to Move? Seeking Participatory Translation of Fluvial Geomorphology into Flood Management
Authors: Warner Benjamin P. , Vogel Eve , Hatch Christine E. 
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACTFluvial geomorphic risks are rarely incorporated into and mitigated by river flood management in the United States. Identifying where such risks exist is difficult and there is much scholarly debate on how best to do it. We incorporate this debate into a stakeholder‐driven process to assess its viability in translational fluvial geomorphology. Focusing on Massachusetts, USA we describe a decade‐long, stakeholder‐driven project that sought to better manage flood risks across the state. We found that even if a diverse group of expert stakeholders agrees on the science, politics complicate the transfer of science into policy in highly participatory settings. Stakeholders agreed that fluvial geomorphic risk mapping should result in a “river corridor” that must be process‐based, variable‐width, and based on readily available, easily measured data sources. However, without an agreed‐upon sense of how to resolve the geographic mismatch between an expansive scientifically defined corridor and one constrained by social and economic practicalities, stakeholders struggled to determine what a fluvial geomorphology‐informed river corridor would be usedfor, and by whom.
Influence of Sewershed Characteristics on Rainfall‐Derived Inflow and Infiltration
Authors: Sebo Spencer , McDonald Walter 
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACTBasement backups and sewer overflows from rainfall‐derived inflow and infiltration (RDII) are a significant threat to human and environmental health; however, reducing inflow and infiltration is a challenge for municipalities due to the difficulty and resources required to accurately identify source areas. This case study seeks to address this challenge by evaluating the influence that sewershed characteristics have on inflow and infiltration into sanitary sewer systems. To do so, we used 4.5 years of monitoring data from 19 sanitary sewer locations in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to explore the relationships between RDII defined using the RTK unit hydrograph method and sewershed physical, land cover, and pipe characteristics. Results demonstrate that inflow, or fast direct flows into the system, is positively correlated to pipe length per acre, number of parcels, and medium intensity land use. Infiltration, or slow inputs from groundwater sources, is negatively correlated with imperviousness, pipe length per acre, low intensity, and medium intensity land use. Multivariable linear regression using these parameters explained between 55% and 72% of the variance in normalized inflow and infiltration. These findings demonstrate a way in which collection system managers may be able to narrow the search areas for RDII sources within their sanitary sewer systems by evaluating sewershed characteristics.

Published: August 2022

Highlights
In 2021 as a whole we report an increase (22% to 35%) in incidence of type 1 diabetes compared to the years 2017 to 2020.
A peak of incidence in the last 4 months of 2021, when the “fourth wave” of COVID‐19 peaked in Italy, has been observed.
In the last quarter of 2021 there was a significant increased type 1 diabetes incidence in the age group under 12 years.
We speculate that SARS‐CoV‐2 infection may have had an impact on type 1 diabetes incidence in children, especially in age groups not protected by vaccination.
