Published: April 2022

PurposeCovid-19 is a serious threat to the dietary quality of vulnerable communities in developing countries with limited economic resources. This study explored the implications of COVID-19 on daily dietary behavior and food consumption patterns of perishable and nonperishable food commodities based on the gender of household headship in Pakistan.Design/methodology/approachThe data was collected through an online survey using the snowball sampling technique. A mixed design ANOVA, an independent t-test and a multivariate probit model were used to look at the data from 417 female-headed households and 1,131 male-headed households that were surveyed in the study.FindingsFemale-headed households experienced a greater decrease in their daily intake of perishable and nonperishable food commodities compared to male-headed households during COVID-19. The decrease in consumption of perishable food commodities was greater than the decrease in nonperishable food commodities for both female-headed and male-headed households. Female-headed households witnessed the largest decrease in daily intake of animal-derived foods, while male-headed households observed the highest diminution in consumption of fruits. Female-headed households and male-headed households reduced their consumption of perishable food commodities by more than one-third and one-fifth, respectively. Households with lower socioeconomic status reported higher reductions in their daily intakes of food commodities compared to households with higher socioeconomic status.Research limitations/implicationsThe cross-sectional nature of the collected data does not allow the development of a causal relationship between COVID-19 implications and food consumption changes in daily dietary patterns.Originality/valueDietary and consumption patterns of populations are changing worldwide due to COVID-19. There is no study to assist policymakers in determining how COVID-19 is affecting the daily food consumption patterns of perishable and non-perishable food commodities of households based on gender in the developing world.
A bigger challenge: types of perceived corporate hypocrisy in employees and their resulting attitudes and turnover intentions
Authors: Goswami Saheli 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the comparative impacts of the four salient aspects of employees' perceived corporate hypocrisy (PCH), namely PCH based on psychological contract breach (CB), perceived lack of morality (MOR), double standards (DS) and word–action gap (WA), on employees' turnover intentions and attitudes towards corporations.Design/methodology/approachA self-reported online survey was designed to collect data from 520 retail employees using Qualtrics.FindingsPCH-MOR had the most detrimental effect on employees' attitudes and turnover intentions compared to other PCH types. PCH-DS had the second highest negative impact on employees' attitudes, whereas PCH-WA was the second highest predictor of turnover intentions. Employees' negative responses were more concerning for PCH attributed to organizational aspects than the personnel aspects of corporations. PCH-CB was observed to have no significant impact on employees.Practical implicationsThe study generated a deeper understanding of the multi-faceted PCH. It identified the types of PCH that need to be prioritized to guide corporations in attributing the correct areas of concern and determining the scopes of management.Originality/valueWhile prior research conceptualized employees' PCH as a single-dimensional construct, this study is the first to acknowledge its multi-faceted nature. Although a few studies theoretically proposed its salient aspects, this study presented empirical evidence of this framework, comparing their varied impacts on employees. Contrary to the dominant notion of characterizing PCH as WA, this research presented evidence that employees' PCH characterized by a perceived lack of morality was more worrisome. This study presented empirical evidence for the organizational and individual levels of PCH, noting PCH attributed to organizational aspects as a bigger concern.
The impact of artificial intelligence stimuli on customer engagement and value co-creation: the moderating role of customer ability readiness
Authors: Gao Li , Li Gang , Tsai Fusheng , Gao Chen , Zhu Mengjiao , Qu Xiaopian 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThis article analyzes the effects of artificial intelligence (AI) stimuli on customer engagement as well as on value co-creation. The moderating role played by customer ability readiness is also examined.Design/methodology/approachTotal 426 questioners are collected from the customers who consumed intelligent service robot.FindingsFirst, the perceived interactivity (PI) of AI stimuli have a significant positive impact on value co-creation; second, customer engagement plays a mediating effect on the relationship between PI and value co-creation; finally, customer ability readiness has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between AI stimuli, customer engagement and value co-creation.Research limitations/implicationsFirstly, the method of questionnaire survey has certain limitations, In future research, more advanced survey methods (such as social perception calculations) can be used to make survey samples more comprehensive and analysis results more accurate. Secondly, the paper used a single-dimensional test for the two variables of customer engagement and value co-creation. Future research should divide the dimensions of customer engagement and value co-creation into more specific way. Finally, this study lacks research on the regulatory effect of customer ability readiness and further division of customer readiness.Practical implicationsFirst, this paper uses the arousal theory to participate in marketing theory and value co-creation theory, which is the cross and fusion of theory, and also the enrichment and expansion of the existing theoretical research, with a certain theoretical innovation. Second, based on previous research, this research developed and designed a measurement scale for AI stimuli. Finally, through empirical research, it is found that the perceived personalization of AI stimuli does not have a significant direct effect on value co-creation, which is a new views and insight.Social implicationsFirst, when using intelligent customer service robots, companies should pay attention to improving the PI and personalization of intelligent customer service robots. Second, companies should attach importance to the development environment of customer engagement, proactively and effectively identify customer needs. Finally, companies should provide customers with a good support atmosphere, publicize and explain in advance the use of intelligent customer service robots to increase their confidence.Originality/valueThe study develops a scale of AI stimuli and is among the first to integrate and examine the inter-relationships between customer engagement, customer ability, and value co-creation from the increasingly important phenomenological perspective of AI.
The Sell-in-May effect in ESG indices
Authors: Pavlova Ivelina , Whitworth Jeff , de Boyrie Maria E. 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThis study explores the “Sell-in-May” effect in environmental, social and governance (ESG) indices and compares the seasonal effects in ESG equity indices with conventional equity indices.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use ordinary least squares (OLS) models and M-estimation as a robustness check, as OLS estimates may be sensitive to outliers. The authors also employ bootstrap simulations to use the data efficiently and to test whether seasonal trading strategies can produce abnormal returns.FindingsThe regression results reveal that seasonal effects in USA ESG equity indices are similar to those in conventional equity indices. Higher returns are noticeable from November through April, mainly in ESG indices including small and medium capitalization stocks. When the authors extend the Sell-in-May strategy from October through April, the authors find that the seasonal effect is significant for multiple ESG indices, even after accounting for the January effect. Bootstrap simulations show that the Sell-in-May and Extended Sell-in-May strategies appear to beat a buy-and-hold strategy on a risk-adjusted basis and that this result is stronger in medium and small capitalization ESG indices.Originality/valueAlthough previous research has considered the effectiveness of seasonal equity trading strategies and the general performance of ESG stocks, this is the first study to specifically examine the “Sell in May” effect in ESG indices. The authors also consider an “Extended” Sell-in-May strategy where stocks are purchased one month earlier and show that the strategy produces higher returns.

PurposeThe purpose of this research is twofold: first, to investigate the impact of the adoption of green supply chain practices (GSCPs) on various parameters of competitive operational capabilities; second, to investigate the parameters that influence the market performance.Design/methodology/approachStructural equation modeling analysis was done based on the collected data through a self-administrated questionnaire from managers of 120 manufacturing firms.FindingsIn this study, we suggest that the relationship of GSCPs is positively related to all competitive operational capabilities. Further, we recommend that operational capabilities are directly related to market performance.Originality/valueThis paper investigates the relationship between GSCPs, Operational Competitive Capabilities and market performance, a relatively unexplored area in the developing economy. Moreover, it also adds value to the nascent literature on GSCPs in developing countries.
Does Libertarianism Provide a Justification for Vaccine Hesitancy?
Authors: Butler Jethro , Sorell Tom 
Published: April 2022

AbstractLibertarian ideas of self‐ownership and the priority of bodily autonomy have featured prominently in the political debate over vaccination programmes and the justifiability or otherwise of restricting the liberty of the unvaccinated. In this article we look at a selection of recent right‐libertarian literature to show that there is a considerable divergence between the application of consistent libertarian principles to this issue by academic libertarians and the strident opposition to vaccination programmes and vaccine mandates expressed by people who profess to be libertarians in the public‐political debate.

Published: April 2022

SummaryNon‐wine yeasts could enhance the aroma and organoleptic profile of wines. However, compared to wine strains, they have specific intolerances to winemaking conditions. To solve this problem, we generated intra‐ and interspecific hybrids using a non‐GMO technique (rare‐mating) in which non‐wine strains of S. uvarum, S. kudriavzevii and S. cerevisiae species were crossed with a wine S. cerevisiae yeast. The hybrid that inherited the wine yeast mitochondrial showed better fermentation capacities, whereas hybrids carrying the non‐wine strain mitotype reduced ethanol levels and increased glycerol, 2,3‐butanediol and organic acid production. Moreover, all the hybrids produced several fruity and floral aromas compared to the wine yeast: β‐phenylethyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, γ‐octalactone, ethyl cinnamate in both varietal wines. Sc × Sk crosses produced three‐ to sixfold higher polyfunctional mercaptans, 4‐mercapto‐4‐methylpentan‐2‐one (4MMP) and 3‐mercaptohexanol (3MH). We proposed that the exceptional 3MH release observed in an S. cerevisiae × S. kudriavzevii hybrid was due to the cleavage of the non‐volatile glutathione precursor (Glt‐3MH) to detoxify the cell from the presence of methylglyoxal, a compound related to the high glycerol yield reached by this hybrid. In conclusion, hybrid generation allows us to obtain aromatically improved yeasts concerning their wine parent. In addition, they reduced ethanol and increased organic acids yields, which counteracts climate change effect on grapes.

AbstractBackgroundErectile dysfunction is recognized as one of the complications of diabetes mellitus. To date, a wide gap of knowledge is present on the efficacy of pharmacological treatments of diabetes mellitus on erectile function, acting not only through metabolic control. Similarly, the effects of different diet regimens on erectile dysfunction are still debated.ObjectivesWe aimed to explore the effects of diet and antihyperglycemic drugs, considering both old and novel therapeutic approaches, on erectile function.Materials/methodsWe performed a systematic review, following the PRISMA guidelines. The research was conducted on studies reporting erectile dysfunction assessment in subjects with diabetes and the relationship with diet and antihyperglycemic drugs.ResultsThe Mediterranean diet was effective in most studies for the protection of erectile function. Furthermore, antihyperglycemic drugs seem to show an overall protective role on erectile function.Discussion/conclusionAlthough encouraging results are present for all classes of antihyperglycemic drugs, several studies are needed in humans, mainly on acarbose, pioglitazone, dipeptidyl‐peptidase‐4 inhibitors, and sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitors.
Does coprescribing nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs and oral anticoagulants increase the risk of major bleeding, stroke and systemic embolism?

Published: April 2022

Aims: To examine the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, major bleeding, stroke and systemic embolism associated with prescribing nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to adults receiving oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy.Methods: We conducted a population‐based cohort study in adults receiving OAC therapy using linked primary care (Clinical Practice Research Datalink GOLD) and hospital (Hospital Episodes Statistics) electronic health records. We used cause‐specific Cox regression models with time‐dependent NSAID treatment in a propensity score matched population to estimate the increased risk of GI bleeding, stroke, major bleeding and systemic embolism associated with NSAID use.Results: The matched cohort contained 3177 patients with OAC therapy alone and 3177 with at least 1 concomitant NSAID prescription. Compared with OAC therapy alone, concomitant prescription of NSAIDs with OACs was associated with increased risk of GI bleeding (hazard ratio [HR] 3.01, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.63 to 5.55), stroke (HR 2.71, 95% CI 1.48 to 4.96) and major bleeding (HR 2.77, 95% CI 1.84 to 4.19). The association with systemic embolism did not reach statistical significance (HR 3.02, 95% CI 0.82 to 11.07). Sensitivity analyses indicated that the results were robust to changes in exclusion criteria and the choice of potential confounding variables.Conclusion: When OACs are coprescribed with NSAIDs, the risk of adverse bleeding events increases and, simultaneously, the protective effect of OACs to prevent strokes reduces. There is a need for interventions that reduce hazardous prescribing of NSAIDs in people receiving OAC therapy.

Published: April 2022

ObjectiveTo evaluate the longitudinal association between plant‐based diet index (PDI) score and incident erectile dysfunction (ED).Materials and MethodsWe conducted a prospective analysis of 21 942 men aged 40 to 75 years who were enrolled in the Health Professionals Follow‐Up Study. ED was assessed with questionnaires every 4 years starting in 2000. Dietary data were collected via validated food frequency questionnaires completed every 4 years and were used to calculate total PDI scores, as well as healthy (hPDI) and unhealthy (uPDI) subscores. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to compute hazard ratios (HRs) for incident ED. All models were stratified by age (<60, 60 to <70, ≥70 years).ResultsAmong men aged 60 to <70 years, hPDI was inversely associated with incident ED. Those in the highest quintile of hPDI in that age group had an 18% lower risk of ED (HR 0.82, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.73–0.91; P‐trend <0.001) compared to those in the lowest quintile. Conversely, uPDI was positively associated with ED in men aged <60 years (HR 1.27, 95% CI 1.01–1.60; P‐trend = 0.02).ConclusionsEncouraging a healthy plant‐based diet may be an environmentally sustainable intervention for men interested in maintaining erectile function.
Inflammatory reflex disruption in COVID‐19

Published: April 2022

AbstractSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) was identified in Wuhan, China, in late 2019 and caused coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), which is still a global pandemic. In most infected people, SARS‐CoV‐2 only causes moderate symptoms, whereas in other patients, it leads to severe illness and eventually death. Although the main clinical manifestation of COVID‐19 is often seen in the lungs, this disease affects almost all body organs. The excessive and prolonged release of inflammatory cytokines that might occur in COVID‐19 patients, known as cytokine storms, stimulates undesired immune responses and can cause various tissues damage. In the current review article, we focus on the potential advantages of the intrinsic cholinergic anti‐inflammatory pathway as the efferent arm of the inflammatory reflex in COVID‐19 management. Considering this endogenous protective mechanism against chronic inflammation, we focused on the effects of SARS‐CoV‐2 in the destruction of this anti‐inflammatory system. Several studies showed the interaction of SARS‐CoV‐2 with the alpha‐7 subtype of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor as the effector molecule of the inflammatory reflex. In contrast, neurological manifestations have increasingly been identified as significant extrapulmonary manifestations of COVID‐19. The rational connection between these findings and COVID‐19 pathogenesis might be an important issue in both our understanding of and dealing with this disease. COVID‐19 is deeply rooted in our daily life and requires an urgent need for the establishment of effective therapeutic options, and all the possible treatments must be considered for the control of such inflammatory conditions.
Spatiotemporal variation in costs of managing protected areas
Authors: Le Bouille Diane , Fargione Joseph , Armsworth Paul R. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractFunding for protected areas is limited and recurrent costs associated with managing these sites must be considered in planning their acquisition. However, most conservation planning studies either ignore management costs or use snapshot estimates, even though they vary through time. We surveyed expenditures on management made over 15 years for 37 protected areas in the Appalachians that were established by a large land trust (TNC). These management costs varied greatly through both time and space. We explored what ecological and socioeconomic characteristics explain this variation. Management costs increased with site area but exhibited economies of scale. They were also greater for sites presenting a more rugged terrain and surrounded by a denser combination of roads and urban areas. Prescribed burns were strong drivers of expenditures in the years they occur, while acquisition costs were negatively correlated to subsequent expenditures on management. Land managers felt that protected areas that received less management effort were in worse condition and tended to spend more on areas with greater estimated species richness. Better accounting of how management costs vary in space and time can help conservation organizations allocate their limited resources effectively and to evaluate the likely long‐term cost implications of expanding protected area networks.
