Cue congruence effects of attribute performance and hosts’ service quality attributes on room sales on peer-to-peer accommodation platforms
Authors: Chen Dongzhi , Bi Jian-Wu 
Published: May 2022

Purpose
This study aims to explore how attribute performance and hosts’ service quality attributes affect room sales on peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms from the cue congruence perspective.

Design/methodology/approach
More than 9.53 million reviews concerning 258,473 listings located in 35 major cities worldwide were collected from Airbnb. Data was collected from December 2019 to December 2020 and was analysed using a generalised linear model.

Findings
Results show that when attribute performance and hosts’ service quality attributes give positive signals, Airbnb room sales are significantly higher than when the two kinds of cues give inconsistent or negative signals; when attribute performance gives positive signals and hosts’ service quality attributes give negative signals, room sales are higher than when the former gives negative signals and the latter give positive signals; surprisingly, when both kinds of cues give negative signals, room sales are higher than when attribute performance gives positive signals and hosts’ service quality attributes give negative signals.

Research limitations/implications
This paper adds useful insights on understanding of cue congruence (incongruence) effect on room sales of P2P accommodation platforms. This study has practical implications for hosts, online platform managers and guests regarding how to use online strategies and promotions on the Airbnb platform.

Originality/value
This study is an early attempt to explore how the combination of attribute performance and hosts’ service quality attributes affects Airbnb room sales under the conditions of consistency and inconsistency.
Online communities and offline sales: considerations on visiting behavior dimensions and online community types
Authors: Sun Yuan , Zhong Yating , Li Qi 
Published: May 2022

PurposeAs an increasingly popular tool for product exploration, online communities have an important impact on consumers’ purchasing decisions. The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of how visiting behaviors in online communities affect consumers’ offline purchasing behavior. The moderating role of two dimensions of consumer visiting behaviors (visiting depth and visiting breadth) also receives attention. Moreover, the impact of consumer visiting behaviors on offline sales for different types of online communities is also the focus of this paper.Design/methodology/approachTo test the empirical model, the authors collected data on consumers’ visits to an online real estate platform with local housing sales data. In addition to the baseline regression analysis of the data with the help of Stata 17.0, the study also analyzes the robustness of the results through several methods.FindingsThe authors focus on an online community for newly-built housing and find that consumer visits to the focal online community have a positive impact on offline sales. Visiting breadth has a negative moderating effect on this relationship, and no statistically significant moderating effect is found for visiting depth. Further, our empirical exploration finds that consumer visits to competitive online communities have a positive impact on offline focal product sales, but visits to complementary online communities have no statistically significant effect on offline sales.Originality/valueOur findings contribute to the understanding of consumers’ cross-channel purchasing behavior and provide new insights into how visiting behaviors in online communities affect consumers’ purchasing decisions.
Conceptual review study of working capital management practices in the construction industry: trends and research prospects in Ghana

Published: May 2022

Purpose
The concept of working capital management (WCM) has been a fundamental financial accounting term that has evolved in financial theory for centuries. Given that the construction industry (CI) is financially dynamic, there is an imperative need to understand its WCM practices. The call for the industry players to adhere to efficient financial management practices as a result of a huge financing gap requires consented effort. This study aims to explore the trend of practices of WCM in the CI and elicit a broader polemic dialogue about this crucial theme.

Design/methodology/approach
The source of information for the study was secondary mainly from referenced journals and international conference papers published on WCM relating to the CI. A three-step sample selection strategy was adopted to identify the range and scope of publications on WCM in the CI based on the systematic literature review method.

Findings
The CI cannot boost of enough empirical WCM research to gain in-depth understanding of its practical trend. The developing economies are failing to produce insightful peer-reviewed papers on WCM to assist in bridging the infrastructural financing gap through apposite strategies. Gaining appropriate knowledge of the short-term financial operations through a conceptualization of WCM practices in the CI may lead to better strategies formulated for smooth operations.

Originality/value
This is a pioneering paper in developing economies that have taken stock of WCM knowledge of the practical trend in the CI. Future research prospects in which WCM matters can use it as a reference point.
Return and volatility spillover between India and leading Asian and global equity markets: an empirical analysis
Authors: Mishra Aswini Kumar , Agrawal Saksham , Patwa Jash Ashish 
Published: May 2022

PurposeThe study uses the multivariate GARCH-BEKK model (which was first proposed by Baba et al. (1990) and then further developed by Engle and Kroner (1995)) to examine the return and volatility spillover between India and four leading Asian (namely, China, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong) and two global (namely, the United Kingdom and the United States) equity markets.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs a multivariate GARCH-BEKK model to quantify return correlation and volatility transmission across the pre- and post-2008 global financial crisis periods (apart from other conventional time series modelling like cointegration, Granger causality using vector error correction model (VECM)).FindingsThe results show a tendency of the Indian stock market index to move along with the US and Hong Kong market indices. The decrease in the value of the co-integration coefficient during the recession was explained by reduced investor confidence in developing countries. The result further shows a clear distinction in terms of volatility spillover between the Asian market vis-a-vis US and UK markets. Volatility transmission from India to Asian markets was found to be significantly higher as compared to the US and UK. So also, the study’s results show a puzzling result giving us comparable co-integration ranks for phase 2 (expansion) and phase 3 (slow-down) of the business cycle in most cases.Research limitations/implicationsIn Granger causality testing, the results were unable to ascertain the difference between phase 2 (expansion) and phase 3 (slowdown). However, the multivariate GARCH (MGARCH)-BEKK model showed a clear reduction in volatility transmission to NIFTY50 (is the flagship index on the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (NSE)) as India entered slow-down. This shows that the Indian economy does go through different business cycles, and the changes in parameters hence prove hypothesis 3 to be true with respect to volatility transmission to India from International markets.Originality/valueThe results show that for all countries, the volatility transmitted to India increases significantly going from phase 1 (recession) to phase 2 (expansion) and reduces again once the countries enter slow-down in phase 3 (slowdown). This shows that during expansion shocks and impulses in international markets affect the Indian markets significantly, supporting the increase in co-integration in phase 2 (expansion). During expansion, developing markets like India become profitable for investors, due to the high growth rate when compared to developed countries. This implies that a significant amount of capital enters Indian markets, which is susceptible to the volatility of international markets. The volatility transmission from India to the US and UK was insignificant in phase 1 (recession and recovery) and phase 3 (slow-down) showing a weak linkage between the markets during volatile time periods.

Published: May 2022

PurposeOver time, the role of followers within leadership discourse has gained greater status, leading to followers being acknowledged as significant actors in the leadership process. This has led to the development of follower-centric leadership studies, as well as the more emergent research area of followership, with followership research having the specific intention to find out about followers from the perspective of followers. In this paper, the authors provide a review of role-based followership approaches, and implicit leadership and followership theories as a basis to build a case for follower implicit followership theories (FIFTs) as a focus area for future research.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted a review of seminal and current role-based followership literature, with a specific focus on FIFTs and followership studies conducted within the African context.FindingsImplicit theories have been an area of leadership research that has added much value, and as such could do the same for development of followership research. FIFTs as a research area are nascent and, as such, should continue to be explored in order to expand our understanding of followership.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this is one of the first literature reviews to have a specific focus on FIFTs, as well as on followership research conducted within the African context.
Retention and turnover of staff undertaking degree studies: insights and evidence from South Africa
Authors: Adriano Judite A. , Callaghan Christian 
Published: May 2022

PurposeSocial exchange theory predicts that perceptions of employee/employer exchange relationships may change as employees add educational qualifications. Literature also suggests that more innovative individuals, who are particularly important to organisations, may be more likely to change jobs. The purpose of this study is to test how the innovativeness of an individual differs in its contribution to retention when subjected to different mediating and moderating influences indicated in the literature, for a cohort of employees that are undertaking degree studies while working.Design/methodology/approachTo test theory that suggests certain implications for employee turnover, the part-time studies unit of a large South African university offering degree studies by evening classes was sampled, yielding 323 useable responses, with a response rate of about 30%. Structural equation modelling (SEM) is used to test a theoretical model predicting certain mediating and moderating influences on the relationship between individual innovativeness and turnover intentions.FindingsIndividuals with higher innovativeness self-report higher turnover intentions, which seem to be reduced by the mediating effects of perceived supervisor support and job satisfaction. Perceptions of distributive justice and core self-evaluations, which may be associated with an individual's evaluation of the social exchange relationship, are found to directly enable retention.Originality/valueA model of moderation and mediation relationships between employee innovativeness and turnover intentions is derived from the literature and tested, offering novel insights into how to retain valuable staff in this context.
Improving the outcome of treating striae gravidarum by combined therapies using topical β‐glucan and 1565‐nm non‐ablative fractional laser: A prospective randomized vehicle‐controlled parallel group study

Published: May 2022

AbstractStriae gravidarum (SG) is a kind of dermal scar associated with psychosocial and therapeutic challenge. Topical reagents and non‐invasive laser are more preferred than invasive procedures for less pain and shorter downtime. However, there are few studies on comparing and combining these two modalities. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of a topical regimen containing β‐glucan, 1565‐nm non‐ablative fractional laser (NAFL; ResurFX), and combination of them for SG. A total of 128 unilateral abdomens from 64 subjects were randomly divided into four strategies and were followed up for 12 weeks: topical vehicle (Veh); topical β‐glucan (B); 1565‐nm NAFL combined topical vehicle (NAFL); 1565‐nm NAFL combined topical β‐glucan (B + NAFL). NAFL was applied three times with a 4‐week interval. Topical reagent was applied b.i.d. for 12 weeks. Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) scores were assessed by blinded physician according to standard photograph, and by subjects at 12th week. The degree of SG atrophy was assessed by blinded physician before treatment and at the 12th week according to a standard 5‐point scale. Collagen remodeling was evaluated by histological analysis and all adverse effects were recorded. A total of 56 women (112 unilateral abdomens) completed all study. The GAIS scores by blinded physician showed greater improvement in NAFL as compared with β‐glucan, and by subjects showed greater improvement in β‐glucan as compared with vehicle. In terms of striae atrophy scale, the improvement of SG atrophy was more prominent in NAFL compared to β‐glucan, and in β‐glucan + NAFL compared to Veh + NAFL. All treatments were well tolerated. Topical β‐glucan regimen can mildly improve SG. NAFL showed better results than topical β‐glucan regimen. The combined strategy may further improve the SG atrophy compared with single treatment strategy.

Abstract

Understanding the breadth and complexity of changes in phenology is limited by the availability of long‐term historical data sets with broad geographic range.

We compare a recently discovered historical data set of plant phenology observations collected across the state of New York (1826–1872) to contemporary volunteer‐contributed observations (2009–2017) to evaluate changes in plant phenology between time periods. These multi‐site, multi‐taxa phenology data matched with temperature data uniquely extend historical observations back in time prior to the major atmospheric effects of the Industrial Revolution.

The majority of the 36 trees, shrubs and forbs that comprised our analysable data set flowered and leafed out earlier in contemporary years than in the early to mid‐19th century. This shift is associated with a warming trend in mean January‐to‐April temperatures, with flowering and leafing advancing on average 3 days/°C earlier. On average, plants flowered 10.5 days earlier and leafed out 19 days earlier in the contemporary period. Urban areas exhibit more advanced phenology than their rural counterparts overall, and insect‐pollinated trees show more advanced phenology than wind‐pollinated trees and seasonality and growth form explain significant variation in flowering phenology. The greatest rates of temperature sensitivity and change between time periods for flowering are seen in early‐season species, particularly trees. Changes in the timing of leaf out are the most advanced for trees and shrubs in urban areas.

Synthesis. Citizen science observations across two centuries reveal a dramatic, climate‐driven shift to earlier leaf out and flowering. The magnitude of advancement varies across settings, species and functional groups, and illustrates how long‐term monitoring and citizen science efforts are invaluable for ecological forecasting and discovery.
Washed preparation of faecal microbiota changes the transplantation related safety, quantitative method and delivery

Published: May 2022

SummaryThe safety, quantitative method and delivery of faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) vary a lot from different countries in practice. Recently, the improved methodology of FMT based on the automatic filtration, washing process and the related delivery was named as washed microbiota transplantation (WMT). First, this study aimed to describe the methodology development of FMT from manual to washing preparation from 2012 to 2021 in China Microbiota Transplantation System (CMTS), a centralized stool bank for providing a national non‐profit service. The secondary aim is to describe donor screenings, the correlation between faecal weight and treatment doses, incidence of adverse events and delivery decision. The retrospective analysis on the prospectively recorded data was performed. Results showed that the success rate of donor screening was 3.1% (32/1036). The incidence rate of fever decreased significantly from 19.4% (6/31) in manual FMT to 2.7% (24/902) in WMT in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), which made UC a considerable disease model to reflect the quality control of faecal microbiota preparation. We defined one treatment unit as 10 cm3 microbiota precipitation (1.0 × 1013 bacteria) based on enriched microbiota instead of rough faecal weight. For delivering microbiota, colonic transendoscopic enteral tube is a promising way especially for multiple WMTs or frequent colonic administration of drugs combined with WMT. This study should help improve the better practice of FMT for helping more patients in the future.

Published: May 2022

AbstractPurposeThe purpose of this study was to describe the extent to which nursing assessment data was present in the electronic health record and linked to NANDA‐I, NIC, and NOC.MethodsThis retrospective review used a descriptive approach to examine documentation in the electronic health records (EHR) of 10 hospitalized patients requiring cardiac surgery. A team of experts applied a Delphi consensus‐building process to identify the supports and barriers for nursing documentation.FindingsCollection of the health history was organized using Gordon's Functional Health Pattern (FHP) Framework. Seventy‐five fields were noted for the entry of nursing assessment data of which 65 focused on health history data and 30 documented physical findings and observations. There were no references to the defining characteristics or etiologies with any of the diagnostic labels used. Care plans included the nursing diagnoses, goals of care, and interventions, although there was a lack of clear alignment between the assessment, NANDA‐I, NIC, and NOC and the care plan. Progress note documentation addressed significant events in the patient's clinical course; however, these were not nursing problem or diagnosis focused. Four expert reviewers arrived at consensus regarding the supports and challenges impacting nurses’ ability to document data depicting nursing's contribution to care using a FHP and standardized nursing language in the EHR.ConclusionsThe EHR provides an opportunity to reflect nursing clinical judgment and make nursing care visible. These findings suggest there are challenges to capturing nurse focused data elements in the EHR.Implications for nursing practiceThis work has important implications for clinicians, educators, and administrators alike. EHR systems must accurately capture nurses’ contribution to patient care to plan for resource allocation and quality care delivery. Ultimately, the development of standardized data sources reflecting the outcomes of nursing care will expand the opportunities to advance nursing knowledge.

Published: May 2022

AbstractBackgroundAssessing risk for excessive alcohol use is important for applications ranging from recruitment into research studies to targeted public health messaging. Social media language provides an ecologically embedded source of information for assessing individuals who may be at risk for harmful drinking.MethodsUsing data collected on 3664 respondents from the general population, we examine how accurately language used on social media classifies individuals as at‐risk for alcohol problems based on Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test‐Consumption score benchmarks.ResultsWe find that social media language is moderately accurate (area under the curve = 0.75) at identifying individuals at risk for alcohol problems (i.e., hazardous drinking/alcohol use disorders) when used with models based on contextual word embeddings. High‐risk alcohol use was predicted by individuals’ usage of words related to alcohol, partying, informal expressions, swearing, and anger. Low‐risk alcohol use was predicted by individuals’ usage of social, affiliative, and faith‐based words.ConclusionsThe use of social media data to study drinking behavior in the general public is promising and could eventually support primary and secondary prevention efforts among Americans whose at‐risk drinking may have otherwise gone “under the radar.”

AbstractBackgroundPolymerized allergens conjugated to non‐oxidized mannan (PM‐allergoids) are novel vaccines targeting dendritic cells (DCs). Previous experimental data indicate that PM‐allergoids are readily taken up by DCs and induce Treg cells. This first‐in‐human study was aimed to evaluate safety and to find the optimal dose of house dust mite PM‐allergoid (PM‐HDM) administered subcutaneously (SC) or sublingually (SL).MethodsIn a randomized, double‐blind, double‐dummy, placebo‐controlled trial, 196 subjects received placebo or PM‐HDM at 500, 1000, 3000, or 5000 mannan‐conjugated therapeutic units (mTU)/mL in 9‐arm groups for 4 months. All subjects received 5 SC doses (0.5 ml each) every 30 days plus 0.2 ml SL daily. The primary efficacy outcome was the improvement of titrated nasal provocation tests (NPT) with D. pteronyssinus at baseline and at the end of the study. All adverse events and reactions were recorded and assessed. Secondary outcomes were the combination of symptom and medication scores (CSMS) and serological markers.ResultsNo moderate or severe adverse reactions were reported. Subjects improving the NPT after treatment ranged from 45% to 62% in active SC, 44% to 61% in active SL and 16% in placebo groups. Statistical differences between placebo and active groups were all significant above 500 mTU, being the highest with 3000 mTU SL (p = 0.004) and 5000 mTU SC (p = 0.011). CSMS improvement over placebo reached 70% (p < 0.001) in active 3000 mTU SC and 40% (p = 0.015) in 5000 mTU SL groups.ConclusionsPM‐HDM immunotherapy was safe and successful in achieving primary and secondary clinical outcomes in SC and SL at either 3000 or 5000 mTU/ml.
