Kiyaslio: a gamified mobile crowdsourcing application for tracking price dispersion in the grocery retail market
Authors: Macakoğlu Şevval Seray , Alakuş Çınar Burcu , Peker Serhat 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
In the recent years, the rapid growth of the grocery retailing industry has created a great heterogeneity in prices across sellers in the market. Online price comparison agents which are key mechanisms to solve this problem by providing prices from different sellers. However, there are many sellers in the grocery industry do not offer online service, and so it is impossible to automatically retrieve price information from such grocery stores. In this manner, crowdsourcing can become an essential source of information by collecting current price data from shoppers. Therefore, this paper aims to propose Kiyaslio, a gamified mobile crowdsourcing application that provides price information of products from different grocery markets.

Design/methodology/approach
Kiyaslio has been developed through leveraging the power of crowdsourcing technology. Game elements have also been used to increase the willingness of users to contribute on price data entries. The proposed application is implemented using design science methodology, and it has been evaluated through usability testing by two well-known techniques which are the system usability scale and the net promoter score.

Findings
The results of the usability tests indicate that participants find Kiyaslio as functional, useful and easy to use. These findings prove its applicability and user acceptability.

Practical implications
The proposed platform supports crowd sourced data collection and could be effectively used as a tool to support shoppers to easily access current market product prices.

Originality/value
This paper presents a mobile application platform for tracking current prices in the grocery retail market whose strength is based on the crowdsourcing concept and incorporation of game elements.
To serve and protect: a typology of service robots and their role in physically safe services
Authors: Schepers Jeroen , Streukens Sandra 
Published: January 2022

PurposeAlthough consumers feel that the move toward service robots in the frontline so far was driven by firms' strive to replace human service agents and realize cost savings accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic has led customers to appreciate frontline robots' ability to provide services in ways that keep them safe and protected from the virus. Still, research on this topic is scant. This article offers guidance by providing a theoretical backdrop for the safety perspective on service robots, as well as outlining a typology that researchers and practitioners can use to further advance this field.Design/methodology/approachA typology is developed based on a combination of a theory- and practice-driven approach. Departing from the type of behavior performed by the service robot, the typology synthesizes three different service robot roles from past literature and proposes three new safety-related role extensions. These safety-related roles are derived from a search for examples of how service robots are used in practice during the COVID-19 pandemic.FindingsThe typology's roles are corroborated by discussing relevant robot implementations around the globe. Jointly, the six roles give rise to several ideas that jointly constitute a future research agenda.Originality/valueThis manuscript is (one of) the first to provide in-depth attention to the phenomenon of service customers' physical safety needs in the age of service robots. In doing so, it discusses and ties together theories and concepts from different fields, such as hierarchy of needs theory, evolutionary human motives theory, perceived risk theory, regulatory focus theory, job demand–resources theory, and theory of artificial intelligence job replacement.

Published: January 2022

PurposeThis study offers a focus on the income dynamics of the sector, analyzing the evolution of the main profitability indicators (ROE, ROA, ROI and ROS) of 457 Italian companies in the 2008–2020 period. So, it is possible to verify the reactivity to the global financial crisis that began in 2008 and the first indications on the 2020 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis uses descriptive statistics tools and the ANOVA method of analysis of variance completed by Tukey's test, useful for identifying the existence of significant differences between geographical macro-areas of the country.FindingsThe results show positive dynamics in a sector that has been able to absorb the negative consequences of the great global crisis, improving its profitability over the years, albeit with differences in the macro-regions of Italy.Research limitations/implicationsThe study considers only the companies that survived the crisis, so, presumably, the strongest. In the future, other ratios should be considered to have a more complete view. It is a quantitative study based on the financial report data that neglects other important economic factors.Practical implicationsPublic policies might use this study for a better intervention in support of the sector. Besides, internal management may compare company outcomes with average sector outcomes to identify improvement prospects.Social implicationsThe research represents a significant basis considering the risks deriving from the supply of low-cost Asian products that could significantly affect the profitability of Italian companies in the future.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the literature by providing a quantitative analysis of the dynamics of the sector, through the comparative information that may be deduced of balanced sheets in the course of the years.

Authors: Kumari Pooja , Bhateja Bhumika 
Published: January 2022

PurposeThe surge in coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases in India raises the need to study the variables that affect product and category choices, consumer buying preferences and consumrs' future spending. The purpose of the research is to analyse the purchasing behaviour of Indian consumers with regard to health and hygiene products, taking into consideration the impact of the current pandemic crisis.Design/methodology/approachUsing purposive sampling criteria, a web-based questionnaire was circulated and a total of 411 responses were received.FindingsThe results assert that variables such as awareness of social distancing, brand-cause fit, word-of-mouth (WOM) publicity, altruist attribution, perceived usefulness and social norms have significant impact on trust and perceived values, which ultimately leads to consumer's purchase intention towards health and hygiene products. In addition, the model detects the moderating role of health consciousness.Practical implicationsThe empirical findings will help marketers in designing their strategies to enhance consumer purchase intention with regard to health and hygiene products in the current pandemic situation.Originality/valueThe study enriches the emerging literature with regard to the impact of COVID-19 on health and hygiene products retailing.
Alluring restoration strategies to attract seed‐dispersing animals need more rigorous testing
Authors: Holl Karen D. , Joyce Francis H. , Reid John L. 
Published: January 2022

Abstract

In a recently published paper, Silva et al. conclude that placing fruit feeders (induced seed dispersal) in restored tropical forests serves to enrich the diversity of animal species and seeds in recovering forests and therefore is a cost‐effective tropical forest restoration strategy. We argue that due to poor experimental design and choice of response variables measured, the data presented do not provide rigorous support that induced seed dispersal enhances tropical forest recovery.

The authors present data on animal visitation to two fruit feeders in a single 7‐year old restoration site in the Brazilian Atlantic forest over a 2‐year period. Their study has no replication and lacks no‐intervention controls with which to compare the effect of this restoration strategy. These experimental design shortcomings prevent them from demonstrating the efficacy of fruit feeders for attracting animals or enriching vegetation recovery.

Like many faunal attraction studies, Silva et al. (2020) do not present any data on seedling recruitment; such data are needed to demonstrate that restoration strategies enhance vegetation recovery. Nor do they provide cost estimates for induced seed dispersal as compared to other empirically supported restoration strategies.

Synthesis and applications. Promoting enticing restoration methods to attract animals into a restoration site without rigorous data to support the value added of such strategies for enhancing faunal abundance and forest vegetation recruitment has the potential to misguide the investments of scarce restoration resources. We recommend standards for evaluating novel restoration methods to determine whether they are cost‐effective approaches to include in the diverse toolbox needed to meet ambitious global forest restoration targets.

AbstractMangrove forest ecosystems support a diverse flora and fauna of marine and terrestrial species and have important direct and indirect economic, ecological and social values to mankind. Yellow mangrove (Bruguiera parviflora) belongs to the Rhizophoraceae family and is widely distributed in the intertidal zones along sheltered coastal areas in tropical latitudes. Here, we present a high‐quality, chromosome‐level assembly of the B. parviflora genome. We employed the 10x Genomics linked‐read technology to obtain a preliminary assembly, which was subsequently scaffolded using the long‐range chromatin contact mapping technique (HiC) to obtain a final assembly containing 213,026,782 bases in 10,045 scaffolds with an N50 length of 10,906,948 bases. Our gene prediction recovered 96.5% of the highly conserved orthologues in the Embryophyta lineage based on the Benchmarking Universal Single‐Copy Orthologues (BUSCO) analysis. We analysed the transversion rate at fourfold‐degenerate sites from orthologous gene pairs and discovered evidence supporting a recent whole‐genome duplication event in B. parviflora and other Rhizophoreae members. Comparative studies based on single‐copy orthologous genes indicated that B. parviflora and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza diverged approximately 24.1 million years ago. The population structure analysis revealed that 63 B. parviflora accessions from different geographical regions in Thailand were an admixture of two subpopulations. The examination of alternative splicing events in B. parviflora showed that the most prevalent splicing mechanism was intron retention. This high‐quality genome assembly together with the genetic diversity information obtained from the germplasm provide useful genomic resources for future studies on comparative phylogenetics and evolution of adaptive traits in mangrove species.
Etiological factors related to the nursing diagnosis “post‐trauma syndrome” in women victims of violence: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Published: January 2022

AbstractObjective: Identify etiological factors related to the determination of the nursing diagnosis post‐trauma syndrome in women victims of violenceData source: Five databases were searched: SciVerse Scopus, PubMed, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, CINAHL with Full Text, and PsycINFOData synthesis: A total of nine etiological factors related to post‐trauma syndrome were identified: physical assault, sexual assault, psychological violence, childhood trauma, low education level, low socioeconomic status, lack of employment, age under 40 years, and depression severity. Such factors were associated with the nursing diagnosis of post‐trauma syndrome, according to the synthesisConclusion: We believe that identifying the nursing diagnosis post‐trauma syndrome in its current form shown in the NANDA‐I taxonomy is limited as the determination of nursing interventions is based on the etiological factors identified during the diagnostic reasoning stepImplications for nursing practice: This study brings the need to implement knowledge about nursing diagnoses related to violence against women, highlighting the lack of literature that can exemplify the practice of nurses with regard to care relevant to the public in question.
The enduring impact of birth: Women’s birth perceptions, postpartum depressive symptoms, and postpartum depression risk
Authors: Johnson Katherine M. , Thai Annie , Kington Sarah 
Published: January 2022

AbstractBackgroundPostpartum depression (PPD) and related maternal mood disorders affect anywhere from 7% to 19% of postpartum women. Although historically a neglected issue, there has been a strong impetus in the past few decades to implement routine, universal screening and to address PPD as a major public health concern. Still, there has been relatively little analysis of how the quality of the birth experience influences subsequent maternal mental health. We examine the relationship between perceived birth experience and two PPD screeners (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and Postpartum Depression Screening Scale).MethodsData came from waves I and II of the Listening to Mothers data set. This is the only national survey of US women's childbirth and postpartum experiences. In logistic and linear regression models, we used a 12‐item “feeling” index (perceived birth experience) to predict (a) overall PPD screener scores, and (b) likelihood of meeting the clinical cutoff for depression risk. We also controlled for other known socio‐demographic and obstetric risk factors.ResultsPerceived birth experience strongly and consistently predicted both PPD screener measures, and in both forms—raw scores and clinical cutoffs. By contrast, other known risk factors had inconsistent results across the two screeners.DiscussionPerceived birth experience should be considered more central in assessing PPD. It may also be more robust than the PPD screeners used in practice, and therefore, could be a more reliable predictor of PPD. Providers should consider how the improved social‐psychological quality of women's birth experience can act as a buffer to PPD and other postpartum concerns.

Published: January 2022

Background and PurposeTacrolimus a first‐line medication used after transplantation can induce β‐cell dysfunction, causing new‐onset diabetes mellitus (NODM). Regenerating islet‐derived protein 3 gamma (Reg3g), a member of the pancreatic regenerative gene family, has been reported to improve type 1 diabetes by promoting β‐cell regeneration. We aim to investigate the role of Reg3g in reversing tacrolimus‐induced β‐cell dysfunction and NODM in mice.Experimental ApproachCirculating REG3A (the human homologue of mouse Reg3g) in heart transplantation patients treated with tacrolimus was detected. The glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion and mitochondrial functions, including mitochondria membrane potential (MMP), mitochondria calcium, ATP production, oxygen consumption rate and mitochondrial morphology were investigated in β‐cells. Additionally, effects of Reg3g on tacrolimus‐induced NODM in mice were analysed.Key ResultsCirculating REG3A level in heart transplantation patients with NODM significantly decreased compared with those without diabetes. Tacrolimus down‐regulated Reg3g via inhibiting STAT3‐mediated transcription activation. Moreover, Reg3g restored glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion suppressed by tacrolimus in β‐cells by improving mitochondrial functions, including increased MMP, mitochondria calcium uptake, ATP production, oxygen consumption rate and contributing to an intact mitochondrial morphology. Mechanistically, Reg3g increased accumulation of pSTAT3(Ser727) in mitochondria by activating ERK1/2‐STAT3 signalling pathway, leading to restoration of tacrolimus‐induced mitochondrial impairment. Reg3g overexpression also effectively mitigated tacrolimus‐induced NODM in mice.Conclusion and ImplicationsReg3g can significantly ameliorate tacrolimus‐induced β‐cell dysfunction by restoring mitochondrial function in a pSTAT3(Ser727)‐dependent manner. Our observations identify a novel Reg3g‐mediated mechanism that is involved in tacrolimus‐induced NODM and establish the novel role of Reg3g in reversing tacrolimus‐induced β‐cell dysfunction.
1009. CENTAUREA CINERARIA: Compositae
Authors: Hind Nicholas , Hashi Mayumi , Brown Andrew 
Published: January 2022

SummaryCentaurea cineraria L. (Compositae: Cardueae: Centaureinae), part of the Centaurea cineraria group, is described and illustrated, and notes provided on its cultivation, propagation, pests and diseases and availability. Within current concepts the full synonymy of C. cineraria and C. gymnocapra are provided along with type citations and the known distribution of type material. The infrageneric divisions of Centaurea are commented on briefly. The varying treatments of the Centaurea cineraria complex of species is discussed, some clearly recognizing a distinct Centaurea gymnocarpa, others combining the latter in synonymy. Kew's material may well be of hybrid origin, but is described here as the species with additional commentary, as it is unlikely to be C. gymnocarpa, a very local endemic of the Isola di Capraia in the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, now with a Conservation Status assessment of Vulnerable. As one of the many plants that is often called dusty miller, the use of common names is commented on, especially since a diverse range of genera have been given the same name. Criticism is also levelled at some web sites that are clearly providing images not illustrating anything from this species group in Centaurea, with illustrations of plants with yellow corollas referred to Centaurea cineraria – as well as other erroneous information.
Developmental trajectories of executive functions from preschool to kindergarten
Authors: Reilly Shannon E. , Downer Jason T. , Grimm Kevin J. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractExecutive functions (EF) are key predictors of long‐term success that develop rapidly in early childhood. However, EF's developmental trajectory from preschool to kindergarten is not fully understood due to conceptual ambiguity (e.g., whether it is a single construct or multiple related constructs) and methodological limitations (e.g., previous work has primarily examined linear growth). Whether and how this trajectory differs based on characteristics of children and their families also remains to be characterized. In a primarily low‐income, racially and ethnically diverse, typically developing, urban sample, the present study employed confirmatory factor analyses to examine the construct of EF and latent growth curve modeling to examine nonlinear growth across five time points. Results indicated that the development of a single EF construct with partial measurement invariance across time points was best characterized as nonlinear, with disproportionately more growth during the preschool year. There was individual variability in EF trajectories, such that children with higher EF at preschool entry showed relatively steeper growth during preschool compared to low‐EF peers. However, children with less EF growth in preschool had steeper growth in kindergarten, attenuating the gains of high‐EF preschoolers and resulting in some convergence in EF by the end of kindergarten. Findings have implications for (1) examining EF development in early childhood with more specificity in future studies, (2) informing the timing of EF interventions in early childhood, and (3) identifying children for whom such interventions might be especially beneficial.

Published: January 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo assess the relationship of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels with left ventricular geometry (LVG) and function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and pre‐hypertension.MethodsA total of 458 patients were assigned into four groups: normal geometry (NG), concentric remodeling (CR), eccentric hypertrophy (EH), and concentric hypertrophy (CH). Pearson correlation and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the correlation between IL‐6, CRP, and clinical, polysomnographic, and biochemical parameters with LVG and function.ResultsIL‐6 and CRP levels were higher in the EH and CH groups than those in the NG and CR groups. The results of the Pearson correlation analysis showed that IL‐6 level was positively correlated with the E/e' ratio and peak systolic pulmonary venous reverse velocity (PVa) duration time (PVaD), while negatively correlated with the E/A ratio, s', and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). CRP level was positively correlated with A‐wave duration time (AD), peak systolic pulmonary venous flow velocity (PVs), PVa and PVaD, while negatively correlated with the E/A ratio. The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that IL‐6 and CRP levels were correlated with EH (β = 1.213, odds ratio [OR] = 3.363, p < 0.001; β = 1.258, OR = 3.518, p < 0.001) and CH (β = .938, OR = 2.555, p = 0.008; β = 1.239, OR = 3.454, p < 0.001).ConclusionIL‐6 and CRP levels are associated with LVG and function, suggesting that IL‐6 and CRP levels are involved in OSAS and pre‐hypertension, leading to abnormal left ventricular structure and function.
