AbstractIn opistokhonts (animals and fungi), mRNA export to the cytoplasm is mediated by the Mex67/Mtr2 (NXF1/NXT1) heterodimer via the nuclear pore complex (NPC). In contrast to most nucleocytoplasmic transport, mRNA export requires ATP-dependent remodeling machinery, and in animals and fungi is Ran-independent. While most eukaryotes possess one Mex67 gene, trypanosomes have three distinct Mex67 paralogs, while retaining a single Mtr2 gene. We show here that these paralogs, TbMex67, TbMex67b and TbMex67L, have differing and non-redundant roles in RNA export. Specifically, TbMex67 and TbMex67b retain a canonical role in mRNA export, albeit associating with specific mRNA cohorts, but in contrast, TbMex67L is primarily involved in ribosome biogenesis. Together with the association of all Mex67 paralogs with the Ran machinery, these findings indicate significant departures in RNA export mechanisms in these divergent organisms, with implications for evolutionary origins and diversity in control of gene expression.

ABSTRACTObjectIt remains unelucidated regarding the effects of vaccination on disease severity and factors for viral clearance and hospitalization in omicron-infected patients.MethodsThe clinical manifestations of 3,265 Omicron-infected patients (BA.2 variant; the Omicron group) were compared with those of 226 Delta-infected patients (the Delta group).A Multi-class logistic regression model was employed to analyze the impacts of vaccination doses and intervals on disease severity; a logistic regression model to evaluate the risk factors for hospitalization; R 4.1.2 data analysis to investigate the factors for time for nucleic acid negativization (NAN).ResultsCompared with the Delta group, the Omicron group reported a fast transmission, mild symptoms, and lower severity incidence, and a significant inverse correlation of vaccination dose with clinical severity (OR: 0.803, 95%CI: 0.742-0.868, p<0.001). Of the 7 or 5 categories of vaccination status, the risk of severity significantly decreased only at ≥21 days after three doses (OR: 0.618, 95% CI: 0.475-0.803, p<0.001; OR: 0.627, 95% CI: 0.482-0.815, p<0.001, respectively). The Omicron group also reported underlying illness as an independent factor for hospitalization, sore throat as a protective factor, and much shorter time for NAN [15 (12,19) vs. 16 (12,22), p<0.05]. NAN was associated positively with age, female gender, fever, cough, and disease severity, but negatively with vaccination doses.ConclusionBooster vaccination should be advocated for COVID-19 pandemic-related control and prevention policies and adequate precautions should be taken for patients with underlying conditions.
The apical Ciliary Adhesion complex is established at the basal foot of motile cilia and depends on the microtubule network
Authors: Chatzifrangkeskou Maria , Skourides Paris A. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe Ciliary Adhesion (CA) complex forms in close association with the basal bodies of cilia during the early stages of ciliogenesis and is responsible for mediating complex interactions with the actin networks of multiciliated cells (MCCs). However, its precise localization with respect to basal body accessory structures and the interactions that lead to its establishment in MCCs are not well understood. Here, we studied the distribution of the CA proteins using super-resolution imaging and possible interactions with the microtubule network. The results of this study reveal that the apical CA complex forms at the distal end of the basal foot and depends on microtubules. Our data also raise the possibility that CAs may have additional roles in the regulation of the organization of the microtubule network of MCCs.
The Third Space, mimics and ambivalence of HRM in the Global South: a postcolonial reading
Authors: Jayawardena Dhammika 
Published: June 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to accomplish two purposes: firstly, it revisits the “positional identity” – the ambivalent-hybrid disposition – of human resource management (HRM) in the (postcolonial) Global South. Secondly, it seeks to reframe the role of Southern agents of the epistemic community of HRM, particularly human resource (HR) managers, in managing people in the South.Design/methodology/approachThis paper takes inspiration from the postcolonial theory of Homi Bhabha, his notions of hybridity, the Third Space and colonial positionality, to revisit the positional identity of HRM and to reframe the role of HR managers in the South.FindingsIn postcolonial Southern organisations, HR managers play a dual role – as “mimics” and “bastards” of Western discourses of HRM. The dual role tends to put the managers in Southern organisations in a “double–bind”.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper helps in the understanding of the role of HRM as well as HR managers in Southern organisations regarding the (post-)colonial legacy of the South.Originality/valueThis paper provides new insights into the identity of HRM in the Global South beyond the dualistic understanding of HR practices, such as convergence–divergence and the mere form of crossvergence. It argues that hybridisation of HRM in Southern organisations takes place in the form of (post-)colonial hybridity.
Impact of leadership practices on manager’s pathways to goal attainment: the mediating effect of emotional intelligence
Authors: Acosta-Prado Julio César , Zárate-Torres Rodrigo Arturo , Tafur-Mendoza Arnold Alejandro , Prada-Ospina Ricardo , Sarmiento Claudia Fabiola Rey 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
While the relationship between some leadership styles and emotional intelligence has been studied, leadership practices and emotional intelligence have not been studied for an understanding of how both variables enable a leader to look for pathways to goal attainment. This study aims to examine the impact of leadership practices on pathways to goal attainment while considering the mediating effect of emotional intelligence.

Design/methodology/approach
This study was empirical with an associative strategy. The type of study was explanatory, and latent variables design was followed. The sample consists of 496 Colombian managers, obtained through a non-probability sampling (purposive sample), who work in companies located in Bogota, Colombia. For measuring the variables, three instruments were used, Leadership Practices Inventory, Adult Dispositional Hope Scale and Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale.

Findings
Results from this study suggest that the relationship between leadership practices (model the way, inspire a shared vision and enable others to act) and pathways to goal attainment is mediated by emotional intelligence. Also, leadership practices and emotional intelligence explained 45.60% of the variability of the pathways to goal attainment.

Originality/value
The effectiveness of leadership practices can be explained through the hope they have about the future by using emotional intelligence as an influencing strategy. This study aims to explain how emotional intelligence helps leaders to look for pathways to goal attainment.
Early human capital: the driving force to economic growth in island economies
Authors: Tandrayen Ragoobur Verena , Narsoo Jason 
Published: June 2022

PurposeThe paper investigates into the human capital–economic growth nexus by arguing that investment in early education and health helps in achieving higher economic growth. Early investment in human capital matters most for economic growth than the increase in human capital over the years.Design/methodology/approachA dynamic vector error correction model (VECM) together with the impulse response function and variance decomposition are used on data for Mauritius from 1983 to 2019. The paper distinguishes between the short-run and the long-run effects of human capital measured by the pupil–teacher ratio in pre-primary education and life expectancy at birth.FindingsThis study’s findings reveal that investment in early education and health has contributed positively to growth performance. There is evidence for long-run growth effects arising from a positive shock in the education and health indicators.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to both the theoretical and empirical literature on the human capital–growth nexus. Mauritius as a natural resource poor small economy is an important case study as it has started early in investing in its people to promote economic growth.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-11-2021-0674.
Impact of transparency and disclosure (T&D) and financial distress (FD) on the valuation of banks in India
Authors: Rawal Aashi , Rastogi Shailesh , Kanoujiya Jagjeevan , Bhimavarapu Venkata Mrudula 
Published: June 2022

PurposeThe authors have attempted to reveal the impact that transparency and disclosure (T&D) and financial distress (FD) have on the valuation of banks working in India. T&D involves disclosing the firm's operational and financial performance and corporate governance practices. FD is a position in which a company or individual is not in a condition to fulfill their promise of paying their obligations on time.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the authors have used panel data analysis (PDA) and secondary data of 34 banks working in the Indian banking sector for four financial years, i.e. 2016 to 2019.FindingsThis study has established that FD and T&D have a positive and significant impact on the valuation of firms. The authors also find evidence that T&D significantly impacts the value of firms under the influence of FD.Practical implicationsThe present study implies that it will help firms realize how significantly the transparency level and disclosure policies impact their value in the market. Firms can understand how badly distressing situations can impact the company's whole image. This learning will encourage them to start managing their money and debts efficiently.Originality/valueThe authors study has considered T&D as an independent variable and FD as a moderating variable to find the interacting impact of T&D and FD on the valuation of banks working in India. No such study has come to the authors' knowledge that has established such a relationship of variables in the study.
Technologies in service communication: looking forward
Authors: Mahr Dominik , Huh Jisu 
Published: June 2022

PurposeThe aim of the paper is to bring together the state-of-the-art research and theory from the communication and service research fields to examine the implications of new technologies for the future of service communication.Design/methodology/approachThe authors apply the media affordances perspective to develop an overarching framework that facilitates theoretical conceptualization and research question formulation on the constantly evolving technology-enabled communication formats.FindingsCentral to the forward-looking framework of service communication facilitated by new technologies, this paper identifies various affordances at the service frontline where service customers and providers interact with the technologies. Customers are empowered to expand their roles blurring the role distinction between service providers and customers. Depending on what kind of relationships service providers form with the emerging technologies, they may develop new service communication strategies and new interaction possibilities with customers. As a result, the technologies' affordances would facilitate value creation outcomes that can manifest in the external (whether it is in the physical or digital space) and/or internal (one's own mind) spaces. Applying the affordances framework, the authors map out four key areas of future research regarding new technologies in service communication: (1) social media technologies; (2) multisensory reality-enhancing technologies; (3) AI-enabled voice assistants; and (4) AI-driven service robots.Originality/valueThis paper proposes an original theoretical framework to stimulate and guide future research and theory development regarding the implications of new technologies in the constantly evolving and complex service communication landscape.
Factors influencing collective action of gated communities: a systematic review using an SES framework
Authors: Shi Xuerui , Ling Gabriel Hoh Teck 
Published: June 2022

PurposeWithin a gated community, management of common property presents great challenges. Therefore, the diagnostic social ecological system (SES) framework proposed by Elinor Ostrom providing a holistic understanding of complex collective action problems in terms of management of commons is used to investigate key institutional-social-ecological factors influencing collective action in the context of gated communities.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) was used to systematically screen and review the relevant literature from 2000 to 2022, where 28 papers were selected for further analysis.FindingsThe study systematically identifies and categorises a series of variables related to self-organizing management in the gated community, and consequently a SES-based gated community management framework is developed. Based on the conceptual framework, the paper discusses logical interrelationships of institutional-social-ecological factors and their impacts on collective action performance of gated communities.Research limitations/implicationsApart from requiring empirical validation, the conceptual SES-based gated community management framework is certainly subject to continuous improvement in terms of refinement and addition of other potential determinants of gated community collective action.Originality/valueNot only the review paper provides updates on the latest gated-community collective action research, it also contributes theoretically by conceptualizing the SES framework and its institutional–social–ecological design principles in gated community management. Studying these factors should also be of practical significance because the findings ultimately offer policy insights and management strategies that help policy-makers, property developers and local communities to govern such neighbourhood common resources efficiently and sustainably.
Management accountants' susceptibility to overconfidence: the overplacement perspective
Authors: Enslin Zack 
Published: June 2022

PurposeOverconfidence bias is considered to be a very influential decision-making bias in the business environment. This paper aims to identify the susceptibility of management accountants to overconfidence-related overplacement bias and to determine its pervasiveness among these professionals.Design/methodology/approachTwo international samples of management accountants were surveyed using overplacement bias elicitation questions. The hypothesis that bias susceptibility varies between management accountants in different hierarchical employment positions was tested employing binary logistic regression.FindingsManagement accountants are found to be susceptible to overplacement bias, yet its pervasiveness among the samples is similar to other sample populations in comparable studies. Management accountants in the position of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) were found to be more susceptible to overplacement bias than their colleagues in other management accountant and business management positions.Research limitations/implicationsThe use of convenience sampling represents a limitation of the research.Practical implicationsThe findings confirm that there is a need for syllabi and continual professional development projects to educate management accountants on this bias. CFOs are especially at risk of being overconfident, which may not be in the best interest of the business.Originality/valueThis is the first paper to assess overplacement bias in management accountants as a group of decision-makers, especially within the context of their increasing involvement in business decision-making.
Effects of fused filament fabrication parameters on the manufacturing of 316L stainless-steel components: geometric and mechanical properties
Authors: Caminero Miguel Ángel , Romero Gutiérrez Ana , Chacón Jesús Miguel , García-Plaza Eustaquio , Núñez Pedro José 
Published: June 2022

PurposeThe extrusion-based additive manufacturing method followed by debinding and sintering steps can produce metal parts efficiently at a relatively low cost and material wastage. In this study, 316L stainless-steel metal filled filaments were used to print metal parts using the extrusion-based fused filament fabrication (FFF) approach. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of common FFF printing parameters on the geometric and mechanical performance of FFF manufactured 316L stainless-steel components.Design/methodology/approachThe microstructural characteristics of the metal filled filament, three-dimensional (3D) printed green parts and final sintered parts were analysed. In addition, the dimensional accuracy of the green parts was evaluated, as well as the hardness, tensile properties, relative density, part shrinkage and the porosity of the sintered samples. Moreover, surface quality in terms of surface roughness after sintering was assessed. Predictive models based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) were used for characterizing dimensional accuracy, shrinkage, surface roughness and density. Additionally, the response surface method based on ANNs was applied to represent the behaviour of these parameters and to identify the optimum 3D printing conditions.FindingsThe effects of the FFF process parameters such as build orientation and nozzle diameter were significant. The pore distribution was strongly linked to the build orientation and printing strategy. Furthermore, porosity decreased with increased nozzle diameter, which increased mechanical performance. In contrast, lower nozzle diameters achieved lower roughness values and average deviations. Thus, it should be noted that the modification of process parameters to achieve greater geometrical accuracy weakened mechanical performance.Originality/valueNear-dense 316L austenitic stainless-steel components using FFF technology were successfully manufactured. This study provides print guidelines and further information regarding the impact of FFF process parameters on the mechanical, microstructural and geometric performance of 3D printed 316L components.
metaPR2: A database of eukaryotic 18S rRNA metabarcodes with an emphasis on protists
Authors: Vaulot Daniel , Sim Clarence Wei Hung , Ong Denise , Teo Bryan , Biwer Charlie , Jamy Mahwash , Lopes dos Santos Adriana 
Published: June 2022

AbstractIn recent years, metabarcoding has become the method of choice for investigating the composition and assembly of microbial eukaryotic communities. The number of environmental data sets published has increased very rapidly. Although unprocessed sequence files are often publicly available, processed data, in particular clustered sequences, are rarely available in a usable format. Clustered sequences are reported as operational taxonomic units (OTUs) with different similarity levels or more recently as amplicon sequence variants (ASVs). This hampers comparative studies between different environments and data sets, for example examining the biogeographical patterns of specific groups/species, as well analysing the genetic microdiversity within these groups. Here, we present a newly‐assembled database of processed 18S rRNA metabarcodes that are annotated with the PR2 reference sequence database. This database, called metaPR2, contains 41 data sets corresponding to more than 4000 samples and 90,000 ASVs. The database, which is accessible through both a web‐based interface (https://shiny.metapr2.org) and an R package, should prove very useful to all researchers working on protist diversity in a variety of systems.

Published: June 2022

Abstract

The reported costs of invasive alien species from the global database InvaCost are heterogeneous and cover different spatio‐temporal scales. A standard procedure for aggregating invasive species cost estimates is necessary to ensure the repeatability and comparativeness of studies.

We introduce here the invacost r package, an open‐source software designed to query and analyse the InvaCost database. We illustrate this package and its framework with cost data associated with invasive alien invertebrates.

First, the invacost package provides updates of this dynamic database directly in the analytical environment R. Second, it helps understand the heterogeneous nature of monetary cost data for invasive species, processes to harmonize the data and the inherent biases associated with such data. Third, it readily provides complementary methods to investigate the costs of invasive species at different scales, all the while accounting for econometric statistical issues.

This tool will be useful for scientists working on invasive alien species, by (a) facilitating access to and use of this multi‐disciplinary data resource and (b) providing a standard procedure which will facilitate reproducibility and comparability among studies, one of the major critics of this topic until now. It should facilitate further interdisciplinary works including economists and invasion ecology researchers.
Barriers for recruitment to treatment of youths with co‐occurring substance use disorders and depression
Authors: Kaminer Yifrah , Chan Grace , Burke Rebecca 
Published: June 2022

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesRecruitment challenges for treatment trials of adolescents with substance use disorder (SUD) and co‐occurring depression (COD) have not been reported. The objective is to examine whether recruitment and engagement during the pretreatment assessment phase differ between adolescents in a SUD‐COD versus SUD‐only treatment study.MethodsA similar recruitment approach compared five‐stage progressions in the pretreatment phase between a SUD‐only (n = 252) and SUD‐COD (n = 212) study. We examined the “gradient” of recruitment and retention along four stages after referral/inquiries; (a) screening for eligibility by phone, (b) meeting eligibility in an interview, (c) completion of baseline assessment, and (d) participation in the first psychotherapy session of each study.ResultsCompared to SUD‐only, the retention of adolescents with SUD‐COD was significantly poorer from referral/inquiry to all subsequent stages. In particular, the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval from referral/inquiry to screening for eligibility by phone, meeting eligibility in an interview, completion of baseline assessment, and participation in the first psychotherapy session were all less than one. Male attrition rates were slightly higher than females but were not statistically significant.Discussion and ConclusionsA high proportion of referred adolescents did not meet the study criteria. This indicates a need to examine (1) potential strategies for overcoming recruitment challenges in adolescents and their engagement in the pretreatment phase for studies of COD and (2) baseline variables for predictors and moderators for adequately powered studies.Scientific SignificanceThis is the first study to assess recruitment challenges for adolescents with COD.
