Divorce status in the Pakistani workplace: women's narratives on stigma, outcomes and coping strategies
Authors: Saeed Abubakr , Kehkishan Sundas , Sameer Muhammad 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the processes associated with divorced female employees' experiences at workplaces in the context of a developing country, Pakistan. Specifically, this study analyzes divorced women's narratives to better understand the nature of discrimination, its outcomes and their coping strategies within the workplace environment.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative methodology consisting of 25 semistructured interviews with women employees having divorce status was adopted.FindingsFindings demonstrate that divorced women experience a considerable amount of discrimination at their workplace from colleagues (victimized through gossiping). Moreover, they are also offered less training opportunities. This discrimination not only increases turnover intentions and stress but also decreases cognitive performance and disturbs work–life balance. The major coping strategies identified in the research include avoiding the situation and/or concealing their identity.Originality/valueFirst, this study undertakes an in-depth examination of experiences and consequences of stigma amongst female individuals with divorced identity from an understudied, yet highly relevant, context of Pakistan. In so doing, the authors respond to the call for more research that examines the role of context in shaping the psychological process. Second, contextualizing the concepts of discrimination and inclusion in the workplace setting, this work gives voice to females with divorce identity. Lastly, by examining the interaction between visible and invisible identities, the authors provide further evidence that individuals with multiple subordinate identities are more prone to greater stigma and other negative consequences.

Internal market orientation, interdepartmental relationships and market performance: the pivotal role of employee satisfaction
Authors: Yu Qionglei , Barnes Bradley Richard , Ye Yu 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThis study aims to signal the relevance of internal market orientation (IMO) as an organizational process for improving interdepartmental relationships and employee satisfaction, which, in turn, serves to leverage performance. The study has three main objectives: to consider the adaptation of IMO at the departmental level, whereby internal departments are identified as internal customers; gauging the impact of IMO on interdepartmental relationships, employee satisfaction and organizational performance; and testing the mediating role of employee satisfaction in linking interdepartmental relationships, i.e. connectedness and conflict with organizational performance.Design/methodology/approachThe study observes the proposed relationships by drawing on a sample of 816 managers from 272 companies. Through accessing three respondents in each organization and asking them to focus on different constructs, the study’s methodology avoids common methods bias. Partial least square was used to test the hypotheses posited in the concept.FindingsThe findings confirm that IMO at the departmental level is critical for facilitating interdepartmental relationships within the organization. In particular, high levels of IMO can enhance interdepartmental connectedness, reduce interdepartmental conflict and improve employee satisfaction. Employee satisfaction not only influences firm performance directly but also plays a mediating role in linking interdepartmental relationships, i.e. connectedness and conflict with performance.Research limitations/implicationsWhile this study is conducted in the Chinese context, future research may consider testing the framework in different sectors and geographical areas. In addition, more objective measures of firm performance could be used in future studies, and other mediating and moderating variables may be added to further advance the understanding of the subject at large.Practical implicationsThe identification of IMO at the departmental level can help firms collect ideas from staff across different departments, facilitate open and constructive communication and react promptly to other departments. Through a social information processing lens, this leads to the creation of a positive organizational atmosphere, contributing significantly to enhancing employee satisfaction and firm performance.Originality/valueThe findings of the study contribute to the area by supporting the legitimacy of IMO at the departmental level and its positive impact on internal relationships and employee satisfaction, which, in turn, leverages performance advantages for the firm.

Published: April 2022

PurposeMorocco is facing climate change, as shown by national studies conducted to date. The purpose of our research work is, on one hand, to develop an experimental protocol; simulating the Moroccan climate, through exposing concretes to accelerated aging in different cycles of temperature variation (+5 to +40 C°) and humidity (60–98% RH) and on another hand, to determine the effect of exposure to temperature and humidity variation cycles on the durability indicators (of concrete [with and without thermal cure]).Design/methodology/approachFor this purpose, three classes of concrete were studied (C35, C40 and C55). Each class of concrete was considered first with no addition of silica fume (SF) and then with a 10% addition of SF. The concrete samples underwent three types of conditioning before performing the tests. The control concretes (Ct) were demoulated after 24 h and stored under stable temperature and humidity conditions (20 ± 2 °C and 80% ± 5 RH). Treated concretes (CV) demouled after 24 h and exposed to 300 cycles of 12 h of temperature and moisture variation in a climate chamber. And finally, concretes that have undergone a heat cure (CTV) for 5 h at 90 °C, were then removed from the mold and exposed to temperature and moisture variations cycles identical to treated concrete (CV).FindingsThe results obtained show that aging accelerated by temperature change, and humidity improves durability indicators compared to Ct. Concretes that have undergone a thermal cure, followed by accelerated aging, show an improvement in durability indicators between 50 and 200 cycles, but the performance of concrete decreases after 200 exposure cycles. The addition of SF plays a beneficial role in the durability of concrete in the three exposure environments.Originality/valueThe originality of the work is, to develop an experimental protocol, simulating the Moroccan climate, through exposing concretes to accelerated aging in different cycles of temperature variation (+5 to +40 C°) and humidity (60–98% RH) and on another hand, to determine the effect of exposure to temperature and humidity variation cycles on the durability indicators of conventional concrete (with and without thermal cure).

Published: April 2022

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the online purchase intention of an older-aged group in Kosovo. Very few studies have analyzed the online purchase intention of these age groups in emerging countries including Kosovo, during the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to an increased usage of online shopping among older adults.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a quantitative methodology and a structured questionnaire was used for collecting the data. Structural equation modeling (SEM) using partial least squares (PLS) was used to analyze 262 responses from an older-aged group of consumers from Kosovo.FindingsThe findings of this study showed that COVID-19 as a perceived risk affected online purchase intention. In addition, panic from perceived risk, perceived usefulness of social media and delivery in time also positively impacted the online purchase intention of this group of generations.Originality/valueThe study provides theoretical implications to consumer behavior literature during pandemics and how certain age groups behave during their purchase intention. The study also provides insight into other studies in emerging countries to see similarities and differences in online purchase behavior.
Effects of Super Bowl advertising on online brand search: ten years of insights from 2011 to 2020
Authors: Li Dan , Watanabe Nicholas Masafumi 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThis study aims to examine the cross-media effect of Super Bowl ads on online search behavior. Furthermore, the authors explored the role of ad likability in the effect.Design/methodology/approachThis study used a quasi-experiment method to test the hypotheses. The subjects of investigation are the brands advertised during the past ten years of Super Bowl from 2011 to 2020 (n = 389). Search volume index data were collected through Google Trends. The authors used Ad Meter ratings to measure ad likability.FindingsThe findings indicate that Super Bowl advertisements stimulate consumers' likelihood to seek information about the advertised brands via search engines. The search volumes for brands hit a peak right after the Super Bowl advertising exposure. Additionally, ad likability influenced the increase in search volume. Consumers tend to search a brand online if they liked its Super Bowl ad.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the literature on Super Bowl advertising effectiveness by examining the impact of Super Bowl advertising on online search behavior and the role of ad likability in the relationship. Marketers will be able to utilize the increase in search volumes after the Super Bowl advertising exposure to further enhance brand engagement.
Barriers and gaps within services which affect Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic access to community Forensic CAMHS
Authors: Holt Bethany 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to determine any barriers and gaps within one community Forensic Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (FCAMHS) provision for young people presenting with risk of harm to others or involvement with the youth justice system, from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds.Design/methodology/approachThis study presents a systematic review of literature into the barriers and gaps within community FCAMHS, which showed little research in the area. Because of this, referral numbers for five major cities within the Yorkshire and Humber community FCAMHS region were compared to population statistics and youth justice caution and sentencing data.FindingsComparison suggests that BAME young people are under-represented across referrals to community FCAMHS. Also, there were differences in the representation of BAME young people when compared to youth justice data across the five major cities.Research limitations/implicationsThe lack of literature, combined with disparities in proportional representation of BAME young people within the Yorkshire and Humber FCAMHS, shows the need for a detailed study and analysis within national community FCAMHS.Practical implicationsMore needs to be done within community FCAMHS to ensure that services are meeting the needs of young people at risk of criminalisation.Originality/valueTo the best of the author’s knowledge, there is currently no published literature that explores ethnic representation and access to community-based FCAMH services. Exploration within one regional service suggests that young people from BAME backgrounds may be under-represented within such services, whilst at the same time being over-represented within formal criminal justice.
Value co-creation through social media: a multistakeholder, communication perspective
Authors: Ravazzani Silvia , Hazée Simon 
Published: April 2022

PurposeDespite an increasing body of research on value co-creation through social media, service organizations still face difficulties in leveraging the potential of social media communication to facilitate value co-creation with multiple stakeholders. This article addresses this challenge by adopting a multistakeholder, communication perspective.Design/methodology/approachThis article uses a conceptual approach and builds upon concepts widely recognized in the public relations (PR) literature to assess communication in multistakeholder social media-mediated exchanges.FindingsThis article discusses the role of social media communication in enabling value co-creation as well as the communicative challenges that come along with it. Moreover, applying PR academic insights to the service innovation and service recovery research fields, it advances theoretical propositions that predict how service organizations can successfully build upon the social media communication fundamentals – namely dialogue, engagement, social presence and conversational human voice – to trigger value co-creation with and among multiple stakeholders.Originality/valueThis article introduces selected relevant theoretical concepts from the PR field and develops novel theoretical propositions that are likely to make unique contributions to the service management field. The article also advances future research avenues that will help service and communication scholars together move the field forward.
Convergence of educational leadership behaviours and socio-economic status of students amidst academic capitalism, consumerism and commodification
Authors: Borde Prashant Sunil , Arora Ridhi , Kakoty Sanjeeb 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on academic capitalism, consumerism and commodification (A3C) in higher education. Additionally, this study aims to understand core attributes of educational leadership behaviours with ethical leadership (EL) and transformational leadership (TL) styles can contribute to inclusive and equitable quality education for students belonging to diverse socio-economic status (SES).

Design/methodology/approach
This paper adopts a literature review methodology initially on themes of A3C, EL, TL and SES, adopting social learning theory and social identity theory. Further, organizational behavioural dynamics related to students and faculty in higher educational institutions are illustrated. Simultaneously, suggestions with practical focus are offered.

Findings
This paper synthesizes the literature on the convergence of leadership and SES and develops propositions to encourage future inquiry. Further, the study illuminates several attributes of four groups of student populations, namely, “privileged,” “contestant,” “dependent” and “deprived” formed because of this convergence.

Research limitations/implications
A3C have posed several severe questions for the sustainable development of society. Educational leaders must benefit society, offer equitable opportunities and develop affirmative leadership.

Originality/value
Leaders with high EL and TL behaviours can considerably contribute to achieve United Nations Sustainable Goals of Quality Education. This paper presents realistic solutions and scrutinizes organizational dynamics because of convergence of leadership and SES. Further, pragmatic leadership development strategies are suggested.
Purification and characterization of Lactobacillus plantarum‐derived bacteriocin with activity against Staphylococcus argenteus planktonic cells and biofilm
Authors: Zhang Yan‐Mei , Jiang Yu‐Hang , Li Hong‐Wei , Li Xiu‐Zhang , Zhang Qi‐Lin 
Published: April 2022

AbstractBacteriocins inhibit various foodborne bacteria in planktonic and biofilm forms. However, bacteriocins with antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against Staphylococcus argenteus, a pathogen that can cause food poisoning, are still poorly known. Here, the novel bacteriocin LSB1 derived from Lactobacillus plantarum CGMCC 1.12934 was purified and characterized extensively. LSB1 had a molecular weight of 1425.78 Da and an amino acid sequence of YIFVTGGVVSSLGK. Moreover, LSB1 exhibited excellent stability under heat and acid–base stress and presented sensitivity to pepsin and proteinase K. LSB1 exhibited an extensive antimicrobial spectrum against both Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria. Minimum inhibitory concentration of LSB1 against S. argenteus_70917 was 10.36 µg/ml, which was lower than that of most of the previously found bacteriocins against Staphylococcus strains. Furthermore, LSB1 significantly inhibited S. argenteus_70917 planktonic cells (p < 0.01) and decreased their viability. Scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed that cell membrane permeability of S. argenteus_70917 upon exposure to LSB1 showed leakage of cytoplasmic contents and rupture, leading to cell death. In addition, biofilm formation ability of S. argenteus_70917 was significantly (p < 0.01) impaired by LSB1, with the percent inhibition of 35% at 10 µg/ml and 80% at 20 µg/ml. Overall, this study indicates that LSB1 can be considered a potential antibacterial agent in the control of S. argenteus in both planktonic and biofilm states.Practical ApplicationFoodborne pathogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus argenteus, and their biofilms represent potential risks for food safety. In recent years, customers’ demand for “natural” products has increased food control. This study describes the novel bacteriocin LSB1 produced by the lactic acid bacterium species Lactobacillus plantarum. LSB1 showed strong antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against S. argenteus as well as thermal and acid–alkaline stability. Furthermore, the mechanisms of action of LSB1 on S. argenteus were preliminarily explored. These results indicate that LSB1 might be potentially used as an effective and natural food preservative.

Published: April 2022

AbstractBackground and aimsOlder people with problematic alcohol use vary in psychosocial functioning, age of onset for problem drinking and use of other drugs. The study measured the differential risks of all‐cause, alcohol‐, polydrug‐ and psychiatric‐related repeated hospitalizations among older people with problematic alcohol use.DesignA linked register‐based cohort study with discontinuous multiple‐failure (time‐to‐repeated‐event) data. Hospitalization and mortality were considered as failure.SettingSweden, March 2003–November 2017, using data from the Addiction Severity Index (ASI) register linked to National Inpatient Register and the Swedish cause of death register.ParticipantsParticipants aged 50 years and older (n = 1741; 28.2% women), with one or more alcohol problem days in the 30 days before an ASI assessment.MeasurementsFive mutually exclusive latent classes of problematic alcohol use, identified with 11 ASI items, were the independent variables: ‘late onset with fewer consequences (LO:FC; reference group)’; ‘early onset/prevalent multi‐dimensional problems (EO:MD)’; ‘late onset with co‐occurring anxiety and depression (LO:AD)’; ‘early onset with co‐occurring psychiatric problems (EO:PP)’; and ‘early onset with major alcohol problem (EO:AP)’. Covariates included socio‐demographic characteristics, previous hospitalization and Elixhauser comorbidity index. Outcome measurements included recurrent hospitalization and/or mortality due to: (a) all‐cause, (b) alcohol‐related disorders and diseases (c) polydrug use and (d) other psychiatric disorders.FindingsDuring the study period, more than 75% were hospitalized at least once or died. 57.3% were hospitalized with alcohol‐related, 8.5% with polydrug use and 18.5% with psychiatric‐related diagnoses. Compared with LO:FC, EO:PP had higher risk for all‐cause [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 1.27, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.02–1.59] and alcohol‐related (aHR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.02–1.75) hospitalizations. Adjusted risks for polydrug‐related hospitalization were 2.55, 95% CI = 1.04–6.27 for EO:MD and 2.62, 95% CI = 1.07–6.40 for EO:PP. Adjusted risk for psychiatric‐related hospitalization was higher for LO:AD (aHR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.16–2.73 and EO:PP (aHR = 2.03, 95% CI = 1.22–3.38).ConclusionsOlder addiction service users in Sweden have varying risks of hospitalization due to alcohol use, polydrug use and psychiatric disorders. Older people with problematic alcohol use who have multiple needs and are assessed in social services may benefit from earlier interventions with an integrated focus on substance use and mental health.
Thermal sum requirements for development and flight initiation of new‐generation spruce bark beetles based on seasonal change in cuticular colour of trapped beetles
Authors: Fritscher Danja , Schroeder Martin 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The spruce bark beetle Ips typographus is the most important pest on Norway spruce in Europe. To improve predictions of bark beetle phenology in a warmer climate, correct thermal sums representing the development time of the new generation are needed.
A standardized method for classifying adults into five different colours was used for describing the seasonal change in colour of beetles in breeding substrate and in weekly trap catches from regions located in southern, central and northern Sweden in 2015–2020.
Repeated sampling of I. typographus from breeding substrate demonstrated that the adults get gradually darker, from light brown when newly moulted to dark brown or black in the following summer.
In spring, four to five colours co‐occurred among trapped beetles. Over time, the proportions of darker individuals increased until the two lightest colours were absent except for 2 cases out of 21 trapping locations/years. Thereafter, the individuals of the two lightest colours started to occur again, indicating that they belonged to the new generation.
The average thermal sum from start of flight of parental generation in spring until onset of new‐generation flight in summer was higher for southern Sweden [lower developmental threshold (LDT) 5°C = 744 degree‐days (dd); LDT 8.3°C = 467 dd] than for northern Sweden (LDT 5°C = 668 dd; LDT 8.3°C = 418 dd).
New‐generation flight occurred in every year and region, but generally constituted only a small proportion of total seasonal flight activity.
