Authors: Sabar  , Sukoco Badri Munir , Snell Robin Stanley , Susanto Ely , Teofilus  , Widianto Sunu , Nasution Reza Ashari , Fauzi Anas Miftah 
Published: May 2022

PurposeThis study investigates how, in the context of organizational change initiatives, the adoption of empowering leadership can foster positive social exchange relationships between leaders and subordinates, in turn, neutralizing cynicism about organizational change (CAOC) and allowing follower championing behavior (FCB) to emerge.Design/methodology/approachThe authors analyzed data from 908 faculty members from 11 top-rated public universities in Indonesia. The data used in this research are multisource, so the data processing steps are rwg and ICC tests, data quality testing, and hypothesis testing.FindingsThe authors found that CAOC among these members had a negative effect on their FCB, but this negative effect was buffered by the presence of empowering leadership.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors' research captures perceptions at one point in time. Future research could adopt a longitudinal approach to simulate empowering leadership stimuli and investigate the impacts of FCB.Practical implicationsThis study contributes to Indonesian business management, which exhibits a culture of high power distance. The findings suggest that managers should improve managers' interpersonal communication with subordinates and consider managers' feelings toward change in the organization so that managers' subordinates will provide feedback in the form of decreasing cynicism and will exhibit FCB.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the understanding of why CAOC may not be expressed explicitly in Asian countries due to Asian collectivist and high power-distance values that discourage subordinates from voicing their disagreement with change initiatives.

Published: May 2022

PurposeThe term competitive has always been used as a comparison to provide a distinction between two or more things. Southeast Asia handles billions of tonnes of global seaborne trade annually. Thus, there is a necessity to look in detail at the performance indicators of port competitiveness on the basis of port performance.Design/methodology/approachThis study has categorized 18 Malaysian bulk terminals into two different classes based on various performance indicators. The distinctions used a hierarchical cluster analysis by arranging the performance indicators. The technique is among the most popular techniques used to form homogeneous groups of entities or objects.FindingsIn this study, it was found that two classes were classified as being competitive from the homogeneous groups created. Based on the performance metrics chosen, Group 1 had the lowest score and Group 2 had the highest score. It was found that the Westport and Northport of Klang Port had the best performance of all.Research limitations/implications A major challenge for the study is the lack of variables relevant to other port competitiveness requirements, and a detailed research study is needed to gather information on the satisfaction of terminal customers, the paperwork involved, the accuracy and consistency of tariffs paid, the level of safety at sea and on land and environmental protection around the facility site.Originality/valueThe study on ports has been given less attention among researchers in this particular area. Therefore, this paper focuses on the port terminals in Malaysia and compares port performance metrics between ports to determine their competitiveness.
An overview on megaproject management
systems
Authors: Ashkanani Salman , Franzoi Robert 
Published: May 2022

Purpose
There is a large amount of published literature on project management.
However, there exists a gap between the existing literature and current
practices in the industry for the development and execution of megaprojects.
Existing literature generally focuses on individual elements applicable to
project management in general. This article aims to provide an overview of
the project management system components used in industrial megaprojects and
identify the gaps between theory and practice, which can be used as input
for further research on the topic.

Design/methodology/approach
The topic of megaproject management is reviewed based on available literature
sources on megaproject management systems to identify the main gaps in the
literature between theory and practice. Based on the findings, an analysis
is provided to discuss the improvements required in distinct project
management areas and phases.

Findings
There are multiple gaps associated with issues, failures, successes and
challenges in industrial megaprojects. Improvements are needed in distinct
management areas and over the entire project lifetime. Further guidelines
are required for achieving improved megaproject management systems. Such
concepts could benefit researchers and practitioners in streamlining their
research toward the most relevant and critical areas of improvement of
megaproject management systems.

Originality/value
This study addresses the literature gaps between theory and practices on
megaproject management systems with an overview that provides helpful
guidance for industrial applications and future research. A holistic
analysis identifies gaps and critical drives in the body of knowledge,
revealing avenues for future research focused on quality as the central
pillar that affects the entire megaproject management system.
Examining the effects of demographic, social and environmental factors on entrepreneurial intention
Authors: Dubey Pushkar , Sahu Kailash Kumar 
Published: May 2022

PurposeCreating employment for all seems to be impossible in emerging nations as the unemployment rate is rising faster than the number of job openings available. Studies on the other hand show that creating jobs is simple if the right resources and opportunities are made available. The present study aims to examine the effects of various demographic social and environmental factors on the entrepreneurial intention of engineering undergraduates in Chhattisgarh state.Design/methodology/approachCorrelational research design was incorporated in the present study. The author applied stratified random sampling to collect samples of 1,000 engineering undergraduates enrolled in their third and fourth years in different technical colleges/universities in Chhattisgarh state. Structural equation modelling and confirmatory factor analysis were applied to analyse the data.FindingsThe results revealed that demographic, social and environmental factors greatly influenced engineering undergraduates’ entrepreneurial intention. However, age and occupation do not predict their self-employment intention.Originality/valueThe present research itself is a novel study, especially in Chhattisgarh state, where the area of examining the effects of demographic, social and environmental factors on entrepreneurial intention among technical undergraduates has been limitedly explored.
Race, police stops, and perceptions of anti-Black police discrimination in Toronto, Canada over a quarter century
Authors: Wortley Scot , Owusu-Bempah Akwasi 
Published: May 2022

PurposeBlack Canadians have a historically tenuous relationship with the police. Negative perceptions of the police held by Black people have traditionally resulted from high levels of police contact and perceived negative treatment during these encounters. Well-publicized instances of police violence involving Black civilians have also fostered hostility and mistrust of the police, often resulting in social unrest. Recently, in the wake of George Floyd's death at the hands of American police, people across Canada rallied in support of the Black Lives Matter social movement and calls to defund the police entered mainstream political consciousness. At the same time, police leaders have vehemently argued that racial bias within Canadian policing has been greatly reduced as the result of various reform efforts.Design/methodology/approachThis paper explores the police racism debate in Canada through an analysis of three waves of survey data collected between 1994 and 2019.FindingsDespite well-publicized reform efforts, the authors' findings demonstrate that little has changed over the past 25 years. Black people still report much higher rates of police stop and search activity than people from other racial backgrounds. Furthermore, racial disparities in negative police contact remain strongly significant after controlling for other theoretically relevant factors, including self-reported deviance and community crime levels. Finally, reflecting their negative experiences, most Black people still perceive Canadian law enforcement as racially biased. Nonetheless, the data do reveal one significant change: the proportion of white people who perceive police discrimination against Black people has increased dramatically over this same time period. The paper concludes by discussing the prospects of meaningful reform in light of the current findings.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the literature on race and policing through an examination of 25 years of survey data across three waves of collection.
Expression of anti and pro‐inflammatory genes in human endothelial cells activated by 25‐hydroxycholesterol: A comparison of rivaroxaban and dabigatran

Published: May 2022

AbstractAtherosclerosis is associated with a haemostatic imbalance characterized by excessive activation of pro‐inflammatory and pro‐coagulant pathways. Non‐vitamin K antagonists oral anticoagulant (NOACs) may reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events, cerebral ischemia, thromboembolic events and atherosclerosis. Chronic inflammation, vascular proliferation and the development of atherosclerosis is also influenced by 25‐hydroxycholesterol (25‐OHC). The aim of the study was to assess the effect of rivaroxaban and dabigatran on the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of anti‐inflammatory cytokines transforming growth factor β (TGF‐β), interleukin (IL)‐37, IL‐35 as well as of pro‐inflammatory cytokines IL‐18 and IL‐23, in endothelial cells damaged by 25‐OHC. Human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with 25‐OHC (10 μg/mL), rivaroxaban (100, 500 ng/mL), dabigatran (100, 500 ng/mL), 25‐OHC + rivaroxaban, and 25‐OHC + dabigatran. The mRNA expression of TGF‐β, IL‐37, IL‐35 subunits EBI3 and p35, IL‐18, and IL‐23 was analysed using real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results showed that 25‐OHC decreased TGF‐β and IL‐37 mRNA expression and increased EBI3, p35, IL‐18, IL‐23 mRNA expression in endothelial cell as compared to an untreated control (P < .05). Messenger RNA expression of TGF‐β and IL‐37 significantly increased following stimulation with rivaroxaban and dabigatran as compared to an untreated control (P < .01). In HUVECs pre‐treated with oxysterol, rivaroxaban and dabigatran increased mRNA expression of TGF‐β, IL‐37 and decreased mRNA expression of EBI3, p35, IL‐23 and IL‐18 as compared to 25‐OHC (P < .01). Our finding suggests that both rivaroxaban and dabigatran inhibit the inflammatory activation caused by oxysterol in vitro.
Who can become a full member of the club?—Results from a conjoint survey experiment on public attitudes about the naturalisation of non‐EU migrants in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark
Authors: Hedegaard Troels Fage , Larsen Christian Albrekt 
Published: May 2022

AbstractIn this article, we study attitudes towards the naturalisation of non‐European (EU) migrants in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark. This is done using a conjoint experiment. Respondents are presented with profiles of non‐EU‐migrants, whose attributes are varied over labour market status, education, language skills, time lived in the destination country, family relations, religious background and gender. We find a preference for granting citizenship to non‐EU migrants with education and labour market experience, thus supporting theories of economic reasoning. We also find a preference for granting citizenship to non‐EU migrants with non‐Muslim backgrounds, family attachment to natives and language skills, thus supporting theories of preferences for cultural similarity. We find these patterns to be stable across the four countries despite differences in citizenship rules and discourses. The patterns are even stable when comparing the respondents' age, gender, education, migrant status, voting patterns and general views about migration. The natives' selection of new citizens is explained by a novel theoretical argument of citizenship being a club‐good.

Policy Points
In the absence of federal policy, states adopted policies to support family caregivers, but availability and level of support varies.
We describe, compare, and rank state policies to support family caregivers as aligned with National Academy of Medicine recommendations.
Although the landscape of state policies supporting caregivers has improved over time, few states provide financial supports as recommended, and benefit restrictions hinder accessibility for all types of family caregivers.
Implementing policies supporting family caregivers will become more critical over time, as the reliance on family caregivers as essential providers of long‐term care is only expected to grow as the population ages.
ContextIn the United States in 2020, approximately 26 million individuals provided unpaid care to a family member or friend. On average, 60% of caregivers were employed, and they provided 20.4 hours of care per week on top of employment. Although a handful of patchwork laws exist to aid family caregivers, systematic supports, including comprehensive training, respite, and financial support, remain limited. In the absence of federal supports, states have adopted policies to provide assistance, but they vary in availability and level of support provided. Our objectives were to describe, compare, and rank state policies to support family caregivers over time.MethodsWe used publicly available data from the AARP Long‐Term Services and Supports State Scorecard, the National Academy for State Health Policy, and Tax Credits for Workers and Families for all 50 states and the District of Columbia (2015‐2019).FindingsWe found that states had increased supports to family caregivers over this five‐year period, although significant variability in adoption and implementation of policies persists. Approximately 20% of states had enacted policies that exceed the federal Family and Medical Leave Act requirements, and 18% offered paid family leave. However, most states had not improved spousal impoverishment protections for Medicaid beneficiaries. For example, from 2016 to 2019, 24% of states provided fewer or no protections, while 71% of states did not improve spousal impoverishment protections over time. Access to training for caregivers varied based on eligibility criteria (e.g., select populations and/or only co‐residing caregivers).ConclusionsOverall, state approaches to support family caregivers vary by eligibility and scope of services. Substantial gaps in support of caregivers, particularly economic supports, persist. Although the landscape of state policies supporting caregivers has improved over time, few states provide financial supports as recommended by the National Academy of Medicine, and benefit restrictions hinder accessibility for all family caregivers.
Using Regulatory Stances to See All the Commercial Determinants of Health
Authors: LIBER ALEX C. 
Published: May 2022

Policy Points
The commercial determinants of health (CDoH) concept, which currently focuses on markets that harm health, should be expanded to refer to the interface between commerce and health, which can sometimes have positive public health consequences.
The regulatory stances framework helps us classify public health preferences for regulating specific markets related to CDoH, based on the intended effects of regulations on market size. The regulatory stances a jurisdiction can adopt can be classified as ranging from prohibitionist through contractionist, permissive, and expansionist, to universalist.
The regulatory stances framework increases the usefulness of the CDoH concept by expanding the conversation beyond negative determinants of health and providing a fuller view of the tools at the disposal of society to alter markets and improve health.
ContextThe effects of commerce on the public health are omnipresent. The commercial determinants of health (CDoH) represent a burgeoning area of scholarly debate and activist policymaking to redress markets that adversely affect public health. The CDoH debate is a logical extension of the tobacco control movement, but, to its detriment, the CDoH conversation remains primarily focused policies and proposals that are analogous to historical tobacco control strategies.MethodsThis paper argues that for the CDoH to develop further and broaden its appeal, it should expand to cover markets with conditional and positive impacts on health. To explain and order this conversation, a comparative framework for regulatory policy is introduced: the regulatory stances. The regulatory stances classify a regulatory policy based on the intended effect of policy on the size of a market in the future relative to the present.FindingsSome markets that interface between commerce and health do not inherently harm health. Regulatory policy toward these markets should be different in intent than regulatory policy for markets with negative health effects.ConclusionsBy using the regulatory stances framework to encompass markets that have positive or conditional effects on health as well as those that have adverse health effects, the CDoH conversation can shift away from the exclusive focus on strategies to shrink markets with adverse health impacts to consider a wider array of policy options.
L’identité du dormeur en question: De l’expérience du sensible à la représentation du cauchemar
Authors: Fesneau Florence 
Published: May 2022

AbstractHow does one depict a man or woman asleep while preserving their identity? If the official portraits displayed in the salons of the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture have no answer to this question, the representation of anonymous sleepers, both male and female, their senses tantalised by smell, sound and touch, echoes sensualist philosophy’s enquiry into how the feeling of existence is constructed. It goes alongside a renewed conception of what an individual asleep is: s/he is no longer merely a body at rest but has become an identity which is being formed, unformed and transformed by the dreams that also find their way into the painting.
Creole Identity in the Enlightenment
Authors: Coleman Deirdre 
Published: May 2022

AbstractSusanna Gale (1749‐1823) was born in St Andrew, Jamaica, a member of the spectacularly wealthy Gale clan which at one point owned in excess of 1000 enslaved people on the island. This article takes Joshua Reynolds's portrait of her as a so‐called ‘English rose’ as the starting point for an examination of the discourses surrounding White West Indian creole identity in the Enlightenment. More images are then introduced to explore issues of sameness and difference within constructions of racial, class and gender identities, especially in cousin, sister and mistress–servant relationships. The article ends with reflections on Kehinde Wiley's portrait, After Sir Joshua Reynolds' ‘Miss Susanna Gale’ (2009).
HMS‐S‐S: A tool for the identification of Sulphur metabolism‐related genes and analysis of operon structures in genome and metagenome assemblies
Authors: Tanabe Tomohisa Sebastian , Dahl Christiane 
Published: May 2022

AbstractSulphur compounds are used in a variety of biological processes including respiration and photosynthesis. Sulphide and sulphur compounds of intermediary oxidation state can serve as electron donors for lithotrophic growth while sulphate, thiosulphate and sulphur are used as electron acceptors in anaerobic respiration. The biochemistry underlying the manifold transformations of inorganic sulphur compounds occurring in sulphur metabolizing prokaryotes is astonishingly complex and knowledge about it has immensely increased over the last years. The advent of next‐generation sequencing approaches as well as the significant increase of data availability in public databases has driven focus of environmental microbiology to probing the metabolic capacity of microbial communities by analysis of this sequence data. To facilitate these analyses, we created HMS‐S‐S, a comprehensive equivalogous hidden Markov model (HMM)‐supported tool. Protein sequences related to sulphur compound oxidation, reduction, transport and intracellular transfer are efficiently detected and related enzymes involved in dissimilatory sulphur oxidation as opposed to sulphur compound reduction can be confidently distinguished. HMM search results are coupled to corresponding genes, which allows analysis of co‐occurrence, synteny and genomic neighbourhood. The HMMs were validated on an annotated test data set and by cross‐validation. We also proved its performance by exploring meta‐assembled genomes isolated from samples from environments with active sulphur cycling, including members of the cable bacteria, novel Acidobacteria and assemblies from a sulphur‐rich glacier, and were able to replicate and extend previous reports.
Monitoring with career concerns
Authors: Marinovic Iván , Szydlowski Martin 
Published: May 2022

AbstractWe study monitoring in a continuous‐time career concerns model. A monitor oversees an agent and generates verifiable evidence if the agent shirks. The monitor's ability is uncertain and requires costly investment to maintain. Unpunished shirking reveals that the monitor is ineffective, which discourages the monitor from maintaining her ability. The agent shirks strategically to discourage the monitor, because shirking increases the rate of learning. Term limits reduce the incentive to shirk and long‐serving monitors accept bribes to hide evidence.
