Investigating the effects of high-involvement climate and public service motivation on engagement, performance, and meaningfulness in the public sector
Authors: Scrimpshire Alex J. , Edwards Bryan D. , Crosby Durand , Anderson Scott J. 
Published: November 2022

PurposeDespite much research, too many employees are disengaged in their work. As such, the present research uses a public sector setting to investigate variables (e.g. public service motivation and high-involvement climate) most likely associated with engagement and demonstrates a conceptual and empirical link to relevant outcomes (e.g. job performance and perceived meaningfulness).Design/methodology/approachAcross a work week, the authors analyze the drivers and outcomes of public service employees’ engagement levels and the mediating effect of employee engagement.FindingsEmployee engagement mediated the positive relationship between the authors’ independent variables of public service motivation and high-involvement climate and our outcomes of supervisor-rated employee performance and meaningfulness. All direct and indirect effects were statistically significant and positive.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors’ sample is a nonprofit government agency, so the results may lack generalizability. Although self-determination theory (SDT) guided their choice of variables and hypotheses, they did not measure the specific needs satisfaction (competence, relatedness, and autonomy) associated with the SDT.Practical implicationsManagers in public-service organizations may want to recruit those high in public service motivation and institute a high-involvement climate via manager skill training.Originality/valueThis article follows a meta-analysis call on SDT to test the impact of variables that fall under the identified form of autonomous motivation, and investigate their impact on engagement and other positive organizational outcomes (e.g. job performance and perceived meaningfulness). Additionally, the author followed calls to extend engagement research to focus on specific industry sectors, such as the public sector.
Did subsidies included in the 2009 Stimulus Package encourage enrolment in COBRA?
Authors: Zimmer David M. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe 2009 Stimulus Package in the US introduced a 65 per cent subsidy for COBRA coverage for individuals who experienced employment separation between 1 September 2008 and 2 June 2010. This paper provides evidence that the subsidy led to statistically significant and non‐trivial increases in the probability that job separators enrolled in COBRA, but only among those who qualified for the subsidy. Specifically, the subsidy appears to have boosted the probability of COBRA enrolment among subsidy qualifiers by approximately 80 per cent. Among people who separated from jobs in manufacturing and business/professional services – two industries hit hard by the recession – the subsidy boosted enrolment probabilities among subsidy qualifiers by 60 per cent and 80 per cent, respectively.
‘Burr holes in the bush’: Clinician preparedness for undertaking emergency intracranial haematoma evacuation surgery in rural and regional Queensland

Published: November 2022

AbstractObjectivesDelayed inter‐hospital transfers of deteriorating neurotrauma patients from rural and regional hospitals to tertiary centres have seen the need for non‐neurosurgeons to undertake emergency intracranial haematoma evacuation surgery locally. In the present study, the authors contributed to the paucity in the literature regarding the widespread availability of cranial access equipment in non‐tertiary centres and patient outcomes in Queensland.MethodsWe surveyed delegates (senior theatre nurses or surgical service directors) from rural and regional Queensland hospitals if they were located outside the local catchment of a tertiary centre and had a CT scanner. Questions regarded availability, location and storage conditions of mechanical cranial access kits, as well as last usage, and associated patient outcomes.ResultsTwenty‐six delegates from eligible hospitals responded. Eighteen hospitals offered surgical services. Eleven hospitals housed complete mechanical cranial access kits. Five hospitals housed incomplete kits. Thirteen hospitals housed their equipment sterile in the operating theatre or ED. Eleven hospitals reported using the equipment, with last usage ranging from 4 months to over 30 years. Two hospitals reported using the equipment within 12 months while a further five reported using it within 10 years. Two hospitals reported ‘good’ outcomes, two ‘ok’ and one ‘poor’.ConclusionsThe availability of cranial access equipment outside Queensland tertiary centres has been limited. Inter‐hospital transfers are likely to persist in Queensland and haematoma evacuation surgery has been a life‐saving endeavour, so improving access to cranial access equipment in hospitals where it is currently lacking is highly warranted.
Knockout of cryptochrome 1 disturbs the locomotor circadian rhythm and development of Plutella xylostella

Published: November 2022

AbstractCryptochrome 1 (CRY1) functions as a light‐responsive photoreceptor, which is crucial for circadian rhythms. The identity and function of CRY1 in Plutella xylostella remain unknown. In this study, cry1 was cloned and identified in P. xylostella. Then, a cry1‐knockout strain (Cry1‐KO) of P. xylostella with a 2‐bp deletion was established from the strain Geneva 88 (G88) using the CRISPR/Cas9 technology. No daily temporal oscillation of cry1 was observed in G88 and Cry1‐KO, and cry1 mean daily transcription of Cry1‐KO was lower than that of G88. Both G88 and Cry1‐KO demonstrated rhythmic locomotion under the light/dark condition with Cry1‐KO being more active than G88 in the daytime, whereas Cry1‐KO completely lost rhythmicity under constant darkness. The developmental period of pre‐adult of Cry1‐KO was longer than that of G88; the lifespan of the Cry1‐KO male adult was shorter than that of G88; the fecundity of Cry1‐KO was lower than that of G88; and Cry1‐KO showed lower intrinsic rate of increase (r), net reproduction rate (R0), finite increase rate (λ), and longer mean generation time (T) than G88. Our results indicate that cry1 is involved in the regulation of locomotor circadian rhythm and development in P. xylostella, providing a potential target gene for controlling the pest and a basis for further investigation on circadian rhythms in lepidopterans.

AbstractPrincipal investigators (PIs) play a key role in clinical research, and must thus understand the role of clinical research support staff to conduct successful and appropriate clinical research. This study evaluates clinical research capabilities by examining the clinical research knowledge of PIs and clinical research support staff. The participants of this cross‐sectional study were academic researchers and clinical research support staff from Japanese universities and research institutions. The participants comprised of 54 respondents, among whom 36 were PIs (physicians) and 18 were clinical research support staff. A self‐administered electronic survey was created and evaluated by experts, with 50 knowledge items. Mann–Whitney U tests were used to determine the significance of the differences in knowledge between clinical research support staff and PIs. We compared the correct answer rate of clinical research support staff and PIs for each knowledge category and observed that the clinical research support staff scored significantly higher than the PIs in all aspects of clinical research knowledge sections, including total score. Our findings showed that PIs did not have the same amount of clinical research knowledge as the clinical research support staff. Clinical research knowledge is essential for investigators, especially PIs, to protect patients and promote medical breakthroughs. Thus, more accessible clinical research education and mandatory knowledge testing will allow PIs to lead successful clinical research and further the level of medical research in Japan.

Published: November 2022

ZusammenfassungHintergrund und ZieleDer paramediane Stirnlappen ist ein Interpolationslappen, bei dem Gewebe von der Stirn in die Nasenregion transplantiert wird. Die Blutversorgung erfolgt über die Arteria supratrochlearis. Üblicherweise wird der vaskuläre Stiel zwischen dem 14. und dem 21. postoperativen Tag abgesetzt; diese Zeit könnte allerdings zu lang bemessen sein. Wir wollen zeigen, dass der paramediane Stirnlappen bereits vor der in der Literatur angegebenen Zeit abgesetzt werden kann, und demonstrieren den Nutzen des kutanen Ultraschalls für die Bestimmung des optimalen Zeitpunkts.Patienten und MethodenUnsere Studie mit Patienten, deren Nasendefekt durch eine paramediane Stirnlappenplastik rekonstruiert wurde, war als prospektive Beobachtungsstudie angelegt. Einschlusskriterium waren Hautdefekte von mehr als 2 cm Größe an der Nasenspitze, dem Nasenrücken oder den Nasenflügeln nach onkologischer Operation. Zwölf Patienten wurden in die Studie aufgenommen. Eine retrospektive Kohorte wurde zur Analyse der Kostenminderung herangezogen.ErgebnisseDie durchschnittliche Dauer bis zur etablierten Vaskularisierung betrug 6,6 Tage, gemessen mittels Ultraschall. Die durchschnittliche Zeit bis zum Absetzen des Transplantatstiels betrug 6,9 Tage. Es wurden keine schwerwiegenden Komplikationen beobachtet.SchlussfolgerungenDer paramediane Stirnlappen kann bereits vor der traditionell üblichen Zeit abgesetzt werden. Ultraschall ist eine zuverlässige und kostengünstige Methode, um die individuell am besten geeignete Zeit zum Absetzen des Transplantatstiels zu bestimmen.

ZusammenfassungDas Schleimhautpemphigoid (SHP) ist eine Pemphigoid‐Erkrankung, die sich überwiegend an der Schleimhaut manifestiert. Betroffen sind vor allem die Schleimhäute von Mund, Augen, Nase und Pharynx, aber auch von Larynx, Trachea, Ösophagus sowie die Genital‐ und Perianal‐Region. Die Ausprägung der Erkrankung ist variabel und reicht von gingivalem Erythem und einzelnen oralen Läsionen bis zu schwerwiegenden trachealen Strikturen, die die Atmung behindern sowie konjunktivaler Vernarbung mit deutlichen Visuseinschränkungen und, nicht selten, Erblindung. Die Diagnose beruht neben dem klinisch vorherrschenden Schleimhautbefall auf der direkten Immunfluoreszenz eines nichtläsionalen Biopsats und der Serologie. Das hauptsächliche Zielantigen ist BP180 (Kollagen XVII) und Reaktivität mit Laminin 332 ist in circa 25 % der SHP‐Patienten mit einem Malignom assoziiert. Die Behandlung des SHP ist eine Herausforderung. Einerseits ist durch den Befall verschiedener Schleimhäute eine gute interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit der verschiedenen Fachdisziplinen gefordert, andererseits stehen auf Grund der Seltenheit der Erkrankung keine randomisierten kontrollierten klinischen Studien zur Verfügung. Ziel der Leitlinie ist es, das klinische Bild einschließlich Schweregrade und Scoring‐Systeme darzustellen sowie Anleitung zu geben für die Diagnosestellung und Therapie dieser komplexen Erkrankung. Beim SHP spielt die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit eine wesentliche Rolle sowie die möglichst zeitnahe Diagnosestellung und Einleitung einer adäquaten Therapie, um irreversible Schäden der Schleimhäute mit schwerwiegenden Komplikationen zu vermeiden.

AbstractFear and anxiety are adaptive states that allow humans and animals alike to respond appropriately to threatening cues in their environment. Commonly used tasks for studying behaviour akin to fear and anxiety in rodent models are Pavlovian threat conditioning and the elevated plus maze (EPM), respectively. In threat conditioning the rodents learn to associate an aversive event with a specific stimulus or context. The learnt association between the two stimuli (the ‘memory’) can then be recalled by re‐exposing the subject to the conditioned stimulus. The elevated plus maze is argued to measure the agoraphobic avoidance of the brightly lit open maze arms in crepuscular rodents. These two tasks have been used extensively, yet research into whether they interact is scarce. We investigated whether recall of an aversive memory, across contextual, odour or auditory modalities, would potentiate anxiety‐like behaviour in the elevated plus maze. The data did not support that memory recall, even over a series of time points, could influence EPM behaviour. Furthermore, there was no correlation between EPM behaviour and conditioned freezing in independent cohorts tested in the EPM before or after auditory threat conditioning. Further analysis found the production of 22 kHz ultrasonic vocalisations revealed the strongest responders to a conditioned threat cue. These results are of particular importance for consideration when using the EPM and threat conditioning to identify individual differences and the possibility to use the tasks in batteries of tests without cross‐task interference.
Accounting for carbon flows into and from (bio)plastic in a national climate inventory
Authors: Sandberg Erik , Krook‐Riekkola Anna 
Published: November 2022

AbstractDespite the time‐dependent behavior of carbon stored in plastic materials, literature assessing carbon flows into and from plastic typically applies a static approach. To better understand the climate impacts of such storage, this study explores how carbon stored in plastics can contribute over time to the national climate inventory with various emphasis on recycling. This is accomplished by implementing material stock change estimations for carbon in plastic materials that follow first‐order decay and include impacts from recycling rates in the Integrated MARKAL‐EFOM System model generator for Sweden (TIMES‐Sweden). Thereafter, three approaches to how carbon released from the plastic material stock is accounted for in the national climate inventory were applied to determine how each approach affects resulting emission and net‐zero pathways in different recycling rate scenarios. An accounting approach that follows the first‐order decay pattern of material stocks was found to be important for capturing the impacts of recycling and for neither over‐ nor underestimating the emission impact from carbon stored in plastics. Accounting for carbon stored in plastics may provide important incentives for producing renewable plastics and reducing dependence on carbon removal technologies. Because of its synergies with recycling, the carbon storage potential of plastic products is well worth recognizing and promoting in a policy setting that aims for circularity. For Sweden, this reduces the need for bioenergy carbon capture and storage and makes more biomass‐based carbon and electricity available for use elsewhere in the energy system.

Reference materials (RMs) with well‐characterised composition are necessary for reliable quantification and quality control of isotopic analyses of geological samples. For in situ Rb‐Sr analysis of silicate minerals via laser ablation inductively coupled plasma tandem mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS/MS) with a collision/reaction cell, there is a general lack of mineral‐specific and matrix‐matched RMs, which limits wider application of this new laser‐based dating technique to certain minerals. In this work, pressed nano‐powder pellets (NP) of four RMs, GL‐O (glauconite), Mica‐Mg (phlogopite), Mica‐Fe (biotite) and FK‐N (K‐feldspar), were analysed and tested for in situ Rb‐Sr dating, complemented by isotope dilution (ID) MC‐ICP‐MS Rb‐Sr analyses of GL‐O and Mica‐Mg. In addition, we attempted to develop alternative flux‐free and fused ‘mineral glasses’ from the above RMs for in situ Rb‐Sr dating applications. Overall, the results of this study showed that among the above RMs only two NP (Mica‐Mg‐NP and GL‐O‐NP) were suitable and robust for in situ dating applications. These two nano‐powder reference materials, Mica‐Mg‐NP and GL‐O‐NP, were thus used as primary RMs to normalise and determine Rb‐Sr ages for three natural minerals: MDC phlogopite and GL‐O glauconite grains, and also Mica‐Fe‐NP (biotite). Our in situ analyses of the above RMs yielded Rb‐Sr ages that are in good agreement (within 8%) of published ages, which suggests that both Mica‐Mg‐NP and GL‐O‐NP are suitable RMs for in situ Rb‐Sr dating of phlogopite, glauconite and biotite. However, using secondary RMs is recommended to monitor the quality of the obtained ages.
Social capital and capital allocation efficiency

Published: November 2022

AbstractBased on the social norms and structural theories of social capital, this study examines the relationship between community social capital and the firms’ capital allocation efficiency. We hypothesize and find that the community social capital of a firm's headquarter area has a negative and statistically significant impact on its capital allocation inefficiency, which is robust to alternative proxies for community social capital and capital allocation inefficiency, propensity score matching and instrumental variable regressions. In addition, we find that the effect of community social capital is more pronounced for firms with poor internal ethical culture and weak network connections to outside executives and directors, implying that community social capital becomes important in these situations. This finding links prior social norms and networks literature to capital allocation studies in that the norms and networks components of community social capital discipline self‐interested managers’ behavior and reduce information asymmetry‐two channels of capital allocation efficiency. Overall, community social capital works as a compensatory monitoring and information transfer mechanism and improves the firms’ capital allocation efficiency.
When self‐love is threatened: Adopting a dual‐type view to understand leader narcissism and its impacts on LMX and newcomer work outcomes

Published: November 2022

AbstractThe extant literature has revealed that leader narcissism has paradoxical impacts on follower outcomes. In this research, we argue that its paradoxical effects can be disentangled by the presence of two distinct types of leader narcissism—narcissistic admiration and narcissistic rivalry—which can shape leaders’ initial relationship‐building with new followers (i.e., newcomers) differently. Integrating a dual‐type view of narcissism with leader–member exchange (LMX) theory and conducting a multi‐wave, multi‐source field study with 151 leader‐newcomer dyads, we found that leader narcissistic admiration is negatively related to leader perceived threat of a newcomer whereas leader narcissistic rivalry is positively related to it. Leader perceived threat of a newcomer, in turn, reduces the newcomer's LMX perceptions and ultimately hinders the newcomer's job satisfaction and task performance. Moreover, leader perceived similarity with a newcomer was found to strengthen the negative (positive) effect of leader narcissistic admiration (rivalry) on leader perceived threat of a newcomer. We did not find support for the moderation effect of newcomer acceptance seeking from the leader. This research sheds light on the value of adopting a content‐specific and multidimensional approach in studying leader narcissism.
Dogtoothand Wittgenstein's builders: A future in language?
Authors: Simons Daniel 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis article grows out of the conviction that (some) films can philosophise. It looks to juxtapose the filmDogtoothand Wittgenstein's builders' example, such that they are seen as philosophising in similar ways over similar issues. Both strike me as probing the possibility—or denial—of a future with language. Using Stanley Cavell and Rush Rhees' responses to Wittgenstein's builders, I register the significance and meaning of themes from the film and Wittgenstein's work in a mutually enlightening way: language, games and breaking free. This results in two different pictures of our hope of a future in and with language.
Broken Beds, but better science; using multiple hypotheses to interpret geological data
Authors: Gallois Arnaud , Burgess Peter , Bosence Dan , Hollis Cathy 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIn this study, we propose a multiple hypotheses approach to improve interpretations of limited remotely sensed datasets, such as sparsely exposed outcrops, subsurface datasets, or planetary objects using semi‐quantitative scoring and ranking of observable features. This method is demonstrated using an outcrop example from the Broken Beds of the Upper Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous Purbeck Limestone Group exposed along Britain's Jurassic Coast. Four published hypotheses regarding their origin are refined, represented in matrix form, scored and ranked based on carefully selected outcrop features. Semi‐quantitative scoring utilises knowledge of likely processes governing the occurrence of a range of features, some of which might be ignored or down‐played to favour a single hypothesis. Furthermore, by integrating expertise from different sub‐disciplines (e.g. basin analysis, sedimentology, diagenesis), we also consider the combined evidence of multiple features. This new method results in an interpretation that favours a multi‐process origin for the Broken Beds due to evaporite dissolution, overpressure release and tectonic folding, with identified uncertainty, all useful to guide further data collection.
