A conceptual framework of employees’ perceived organisational support on student loyalty
Authors: Koomson Samuel 
Published: June 2022

PurposeThis article examines the direct influence of employee’s perceived organisational support (POS) on student loyalty (LOY), exploring the indirect roles of total quality management (TQM) and information communication technology adoption (ADT) and moderating roles of government support (GOS) and co-worker support (COS).Design/methodology/approachThe article constructs a research model along with postulations by combining both empirical and theoretical literature in multidisciplinary fields.FindingsThis paper proposes that POS will be positively related to LOY, and this positive relationship will be positively mediated by TQM and ADT jointly and independently. Additionally, GOS and COS will positively moderate between POS and LOY.Research limitations/implicationsThis article offers suggestions for both academics and specialists in higher educational institutions for achieving LOY by applying POS, TQM and ADT as strategic tools. It also highpoints the crucial role of GOS and support from co-workers in achieving LOY. This paper lays the foundation for upcoming scholars to test this research model, empirically, in different higher educational institutions contexts worldwide.Practical implicationsBy valuing contributions, caring about well-being and fulfilling the socio-emotional needs of employees, higher educational institutions stand the chance of achieving LOY via TQM and ADT. Additionally, POS can foster LOY under massive GOS and COS.Originality/valueThe article provides unique understandings into how TQM and ADT connect POS to LOY and how POS relates to LOY under varied levels of GOS and COS. It also highlights the theoretical contributions of the underpinning theories.

Authors: Kautish Pradeep , Khare Arpita 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
This study aims to examine cosmopolitanism, global social identity, green peer and social media on green apparel knowledge and sustainable fashion perception. Further, it explored the mediating effect of green apparel knowledge and sustainable fashion perception on behavioral intentions and electronic Word-of-Mouth (eWOM).

Design/methodology/approach
Data was collected through a mall intercept method across five cities adjoining the national capital region in India.

Findings
The results indicated that social identification with online (social media) and offline (cosmopolitanism, global self-identity and green peer influence) groups predicted Indian consumers’ perception of sustainable fashion, behavioral intentions and eWOM.

Research limitations/implications
A better discernment between social identity versus self-identity and social media influence versus peer influence may be considered in future studies.

Practical implications
Sustainable fashion designers can use social media to create awareness and promote sustainable apparel. The information about novelty, design and style attributes of sustainable fashion can help overcome the skepticism regarding sustainable clothing.

Originality/value
This study extends the earlier research on online and offline influences by examining their role on green apparel perception, purchase and eWOM.
Mental health of hawkers during COVID-19: a marginal community in Bangladesh
Authors: Moral Iqbal Hossain , Rahaman Md. Saidur , Imran Md. Shikh , Rahman Md. Mizanur 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the financial condition and the mental health of millions of workers from various informal sectors. This study aims to look into the hawkers’ community’s mental health and living conditions in Bangladesh during COVID-19.

Design/methodology/approach
The researchers have applied the purposive sampling technique to choose ten hawkers from Khulna city, a district in the southern region of Bangladesh. An in-depth interview was taken in the Bengali language in an unstructured manner and lasted 30–40 min per respondent.

Findings
The findings showed that the Hawkers’ income reduced, and specifically, during the pandemic, they had earned half of what they usually made before. Besides, they could not open their stores because law enforcement agencies imposed restrictions on opening business centres during the lockdown except for some emergency necessities shops. This restriction led the hawkers to stop selling their products because there was a high chance of spreading the virus through the products they sold. Due to income reduction, they had to eat cheap food, which caused their health problems. Consequently, this community mentally got depressed.

Practical implications
Policymakers in Bangladesh might think about enacting more effective measures to provide some extrinsic and intrinsic support in improving the mental health of the hawkers’ community.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study on the mental of the hawkers’ community during COVID-19.

Market share, larger competition and the profitability of rural, small community banks
Authors: Spurlin W. Paul 
Published: June 2022

PurposeCommunity banks continue to offer important financial services including agricultural and small-business lending as well as residential mortgage origination. Because community banks’ share of available source funds may be threatened in rural markets due to competing larger banks seeking less expensive core deposits, this study examines whether large-bank competition, market share of deposits and changing market share impact the profitability of rural, small community banks.Design/methodology/approachUsing a Heckman-type selection model to control for sample selection bias, ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis with time and bank fixed effects is conducted to study the drivers of profitability in small, community banks that operate exclusively in rural markets. Profit drivers for rural, small community banks of particular interest in the study are larger-bank competition, market share of deposits and year-to-year change in market share of deposits.FindingsThe research indicates that rural, small community bank profitability decreases in concurrent market share of deposits and may increase in changing market share but that the presence of a larger competitor decreases the profitability of small community banks in rural markets as larger banks compete for deposits in these markets. The paper also finds that increased Internet access in rural markets accompanies lower performance for small community banks, indicating that online banking services may threaten rural, small community banks.Originality/valueThis paper offers new findings to the literature on the performance effects of large competitors in rural banking markets. The results suggest implications for managers of rural, small community banks and offer additional knowledge about profit drivers of rural, small community banks of which regulators should be cognizant.
Retail store entry and online consumer search: the role of cognitive versus physical search costs
Authors: Gao Xiang , Li Bin 
Published: June 2022

PurposeRelatively little research explicitly considers how a firm’s channel decisions affect consumer tradeoffs between the cognitive costs of online search and the physical costs of visiting a retail store. This study aims to argue that opening a new retail store affects both cognitive and physical search costs, but that the magnitude of these effects depends on the location of the consumer relative to the new store. In addition, individual differences in consumers’ cognitive costs that should moderate these effects.Design/methodology/approachThis study takes the opening of multiple retailer stores on the same day as the nature experiment. Combining with data from other sources, this study tests the hypotheses using conditional logit for the correction of incidental problem in the traditional fix-effect logit model. Endogeneity issue is tested with the control function approach.FindingsThis study finds that opening a new store leads to a 136% increase in the odds of online visiting by consumers who live in the broader metropolitan area of the new store, while it leads to a 43% decrease in the odds of online visiting by consumers who live in the nearby shopping region. However, the effect of store entry on increasing website search is weaker for consumers who are more loyal, and the effect of store entry on decreasing website search is weaker for consumers who are more efficient in searching online.Originality/valueThis study adds to prior research by identifying when, and for which consumers, opening a physical store has complimentary versus substitutive effects on online search behavior.
Primary production responses to extreme changes in North American Monsoon precipitation vary by elevation and plant functional composition through time
Authors: Munson Seth M. , Bradford John B. , Butterfield Bradley J. , Gremer Jennifer R. 
Published: June 2022

Abstract

Primary production in dryland ecosystems is limited by water availability and projected to be strongly affected by future shifts in seasonal precipitation. Warm‐season precipitation derived from the North American Monsoon contributes 40% of annual precipitation to dryland ecosystems in the southwestern United States and is projected to become more variable. However, there is large uncertainty on whether this variability will be expressed as either extreme wet or dry years and how primary production of different plant functional types will respond across widespread elevation gradients in this region.

We experimentally imposed extreme drought and water addition treatments from 2016 to 2020, during which ambient warm‐season precipitation declined to reach historic lows, to understand production sensitivity of dominant plant functional types along a 1000 m elevation gradient.

We found that the production responses of plant functional types to monsoon precipitation extremes were dependent on the number of treatment years that occurred across sites along the elevation gradient. C4 perennial grasses were most responsive to precipitation manipulation treatments, followed by C3 perennial grasses and annuals, while perennial forbs and shrubs had weak or no responses. C4 perennial grass reductions due to extreme drought were generally stronger or occurred earlier at low elevation sites, while multi‐year extreme drought extended negative effects to C3 perennial grasses at high elevation, and all sites showed delayed responses to multi‐year water addition. We found that the sensitivity of C3 perennial grass production differed for extreme drought and water addition compared to ambient precipitation at one site, but other sites and plant functional types had similar sensitivities to the different treatment types.

Synthesis. The upward advance of primary production responsiveness from single‐ to multi‐year extreme changes in warm‐season precipitation suggests more immediate shifts in functional composition and carbon cycling at low elevation, while high elevation ecosystems may become less resistant as the effects of extreme precipitation compound through time.
Rainy years counteract negative effects of drought on taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity: Resilience in annual plant communities
Authors: López‐Rubio Roberto , Pescador David S. , Escudero Adrián , Sánchez Ana M. 
Published: June 2022

Abstract

Climate models forecast changes in the amount and distribution of rain, which may affect ecosystems worldwide, especially in drylands where water is already the limiting factor for plant life. Annual plant communities are common in drylands where they can complete their entire life cycle during the rainy period while avoiding the dry season. Moreover, seed dormancy allows them to disperse over time by remaining in the seed bank for long periods. However, the extent to which these communities will be able to tolerate increasing drought is uncertain.

We performed a 5‐year rainfall reduction treatment under field conditions and determined its effects on annual plant communities in a Mediterranean gypsum ecosystem. We assessed the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of these communities each year for 5 years.

The taxonomic and functional diversity decreased under the rainfall reduction treatment, whereas the phylogenetic diversity increased. Moreover, the relative importance of species with drought‐resistant functional designs increased in the community assemblages. However, after a rainy season with above average rainfall, all of the diversity values recovered completely even under the rainfall reduction treatment.

Our results provide important insights into the responses of these plant communities under a climate change scenario, where they indicate high losses of diversity during drought events but rapid recovery in milder years.

Synthesis. Our findings highlight the great resilience of annual plant communities in drylands, which may allow them to tolerate increased drought under the present climate change scenario.

Published: June 2022

SummaryThe human pathogenListeria monocytogenessynthesizes and degrades c‐di‐AMP using the diadenylate cyclase CdaA and the phosphodiesterases PdeA and PgpH respectively. c‐di‐AMP is essential because it prevents the uncontrolled uptake of osmolytes. Here, we studied the phenotypes ofcdaA,pdeA,pgpHandpdeA pgpHmutants with defects in c‐di‐AMP metabolism and characterized suppressor mutants restoring their growth defects. The characterization of thepdeA pgpHmutant revealed that the bacteria show growth defects in defined medium, a phenotype that is invariably suppressed by mutations incdaA. The previously reported growth defect of thecdaAmutant in rich medium is suppressed by mutations that osmotically stabilize the c‐di‐AMP‐free strain. We also found that thecdaAmutant has an increased sensitivity against isoleucine. The isoleucine‐dependent growth inhibition of thecdaAmutant is suppressed bycodYmutations that likely reduce the DNA‐binding activity of encoded CodY variants. Moreover, the characterization of thecdaAsuppressor mutants revealed that the Opp oligopeptide transport system is involved in the uptake of the antibiotic fosfomycin. In conclusion, the suppressor analysis corroborates a key function of c‐di‐AMP in controlling osmolyte homeostasis inL.monocytogenes.
The Cognitive Micro‐foundations, and Socio‐psychological Mechanisms, of Organizational Decision‐Making in Public Management
Authors: Hodgkinson Ian R. , Hughes Paul , Leite Higor 
Published: June 2022

AbstractHow do cognitive micro‐foundations impact organizational decision‐making in public management? The study focuses on the relationships between two cognitive micro‐processes (intuitive, type I and rational, type II) and the contrasting organizational decision‐making approaches of strategic planning and organizational spontaneity. Drawing on survey data from managers working across a range of public services in Brazil, the findings reveal that rational reasoning drives both approaches to organizational decision‐making. Intuitive reasoning, on the other hand, is observed to drive strategic planning only. Two socio‐psychological mechanisms moderate the core relationships: bureaucracy strengthens the rational reasoning–planning relationship, but weakens the intuitive reasoning–spontaneity relationship, while organizational learning plays a critical role in activating the intuitive reasoning–organizational spontaneity relationship. Post‐hoc analysis of variance reveals a group of public service organizations that rely heavily on both decision‐making modes and highlights the core features enabling paradoxical decision‐making.

Published: June 2022

AbstractBackgroundOutcomes of earlier systematic reviews of the efficacy of ablative and excisional techniques to treat cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or 3 (CIN2/3) were biased, as most of the included studies did not compare the techniques head‐to‐head.ObjectiveTo systematically review the outcomes of studies comparing ablative and excisional techniques to treat CIN2/3 head‐to‐head.Search strategyMedline, Embase and Global Index Medicus were searched from inception until May 2021.Selection criteriaStudies directly comparing the efficacy and safety of excisional and ablative treatments on histologically confirmed CIN2/3. Eligibility criteria for the women treated with ablation had to be same as those treated with excision.Data collection and analysisA total of 323 articles were archived. Data on the risk of persistence/recurrence and safety were extracted from the original trials. Comparison between the two procedures was reported by forest plots, stratified by follow‐up intervals and by HIV status.Main resultsSix publications were included. The risk of persistence/recurrence following ablation was significantly higher than that following excision (overall, RR 1.65, 95% CI 1.25–2.19; at 6‐month follow‐up, RR 1.94, 95% CI 1.29–2.91; at 12‐month follow‐up, RR 1.78, 95% CI 1.27–2.51; at 24‐month follow‐up, RR 1.57, 95% CI 1.11–2.23). The findings remained similar among women living with HIV (WLHIV). Both procedures were equally safe.ConclusionsExcisional treatment was more effective than ablative treatment, with both procedures having similar safety profiles. Other programmatic considerations will guide the selection of technique, especially in resource‐limited settings.
High‐throughput colorimetric assays optimized for detection of ketones and aldehydes produced by microbial cell factories
Authors: Kozaeva Ekaterina , Mol Viviënne , Nikel Pablo I. , Nielsen Alex Toftgaard 
Published: June 2022

SummaryRandomized strain and pathway engineering are critical to improving microbial cell factory performance, calling for the development of high‐throughput screening and selection systems. To facilitate this effort, we have developed two 96‐well plate format colorimetric assays for reliable quantification of various ketones and aldehydes from culture supernatants, based on either a vanillin‐acetone reaction or the 2,4‐dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4‐DNPH) reagent. The vanillin‐acetone assay enabled accurate and selective measurement of acetone titers up to 2 g l−1 in a minimal culture medium. The 2,4‐DNPH‐based assay can be used for a wide range of aldehydes and ketones, shown here through the optimization of conditions for 15 different compounds. Both assays were implemented to improve acetone production from different substrates by an engineered Escherichia coli strain. The fast and user‐friendly colorimetric assays proposed here open the potential for iterative rounds of (automated) strain and pathway engineering and screening, facilitating the efforts towards further boosting production titers of industrially relevant ketones and aldehydes.

AbstractHoney bee subspecies originate from specific geographical areas in Africa, Europe and the Middle East, and beekeepers interested in specific phenotypes have imported genetic material to regions outside of the bees' original range for use either in pure lines or controlled crosses. Moreover, imported drones are present in the environment and mate naturally with queens from the local subspecies. The resulting admixture complicates population genetics analyses, and population stratification can be a major problem for association studies. To better understand Western European honey bee populations, we produced a whole genome sequence and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotype data set from 870 haploid drones and demonstrate its utility for the identification of nine genetic backgrounds and various degrees of admixture in a subset of 629 samples. Five backgrounds identified correspond to subspecies, two to isolated populations on islands and two to managed populations. We also highlight several large haplotype blocks, some of which coincide with the position of centromeres. The largest is 3.6 Mb long and represents 21% of chromosome 11, with two major haplotypes corresponding to the two dominant genetic backgrounds identified. This large naturally phased data set is available as a single vcf file that can now serve as a reference for subsequent populations genomics studies in the honey bee, such as (i) selecting individuals of verified homogeneous genetic backgrounds as references, (ii) imputing genotypes from a lower‐density data set generated by an SNP‐chip or by low‐pass sequencing, or (iii) selecting SNPs compatible with the requirements of genotyping chips.
