Exploring secrecy in pay communication: a conceptual matrix
Authors: Holtzen Sarah 
Published: June 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework that clarifies the construct of pay secrecy.Design/methodology/approachParalleling organizational justice research, two continua of pay information – a distributive continuum about pay raise outcomes and a procedural continuum of pay raise processes – are crossed to produce a 3 × 3 matrix with nine distinct forms of pay communication.FindingsDrawing on the substitutability effect from the organizational justice literature, the matrix highlights the importance of considering how the communication of different types of pay information interact with one another as individuals form pay perceptions.Research limitations/implicationsThe matrix framework illustrates that not only information content shapes pay perceptions, but also the extent to which different types of pay information are communicated, and how these different types of information interact. As with any conceptual framework, the current manuscript is limited by a lack of empirical testing.Practical implicationsManagers should be cognizant of the many different ways in which pay information can be communicated. A call is made to reconsider the use of traditionally binary terminology (secret or not) in favor of more accurate descriptions of the nuanced ways in which organizations communicate pay information.Originality/valueThe value of the pay communication matrix lies in the nine unique forms of pay communication arising from the interaction of two different forms of pay information – distributive (outcomes) and procedural (process).

Published: June 2022

Purpose
Over the past few years, the internet has expanded rapidly, and it has been considered a systematic way that consumers use to retrieve health-related information. However, the existing literature does not provide an articulated view of online health information-seeking behaviour through an in-depth understanding of users’ searching-related behaviour. The objectives of this study are to identify the factors affecting consumers’ health-related internet use and recognise the relationships between those specified and health-related internet use. Finally, the recommendations are made based on the findings.

Design/methodology/approach
An amalgamated model of technology acceptance model and health belief model was used to hypothesise health-related internet use behaviour, which is then tested using a cross-sectional survey of 287 Sri Lankan managerial-level employees. The covariance-based structural equation modelling with AMOS was used to check the study hypotheses.

Findings
Findings of this study depict five factors contributing to consumers’ health-related internet use as follows: perceived health risk towards chronic diseases consisting of perceived susceptibility and perceived severity; health consciousness; perceived usefulness of the internet; perceived ease of internet use; and attitude towards health-related internet use. As theorised, the internet’s perceived usefulness was positively and significantly related to consumers’ use of health-related internet and attitude towards health-related internet use. But as hypothesised, perceived ease of internet use did not directly affect consumers’ use of health-related internet. Further, findings reveal that health-related internet use is estimated by perceived health risk than health consciousness.

Originality/value
Findings reveal that Sri Lankan managerial-level employees have a reactive health behaviour driven by the perceived health risk and the desire to seek online health information.
Taxing Africa for inclusive human development: the mediating role of governance quality
Authors: Adegboye Alex , Erin Olayinka , Asongu Simplice 
Published: June 2022

PurposeGiven that the literature on the links between taxation and inclusive human development is ambiguous, it is important to investigate whether the mediating influence of governance in taxation for inclusive development exists. Thus, this study aims to explore the linkages between the governance quality, taxation and inclusive human development (i.e. inequality-adjusted human development index).Design/methodology/approachThis study employs the generalized method of moments (GMM) technique to establish the empirical findings on 52 African countries for the period 2010–2018. Among the existing GMM approaches, this study follows the Roodman approach, an enhancement of the Arellano and Bover techniques, which limits the proliferation of instruments. This study uses the two-step approach, which deals with issues of the heteroscedasticity as against instead the one-step procedure, which solely addresses the homoscedasticity concerns.FindingsThe following findings are established. First, there is an unconditional positive effect of taxation on inclusive human development. Second, the net effects of taxation on inclusive human development, associated with the interaction of the government revenue with governance quality variables, are positive for the most part. It is then evident that when taxation policies are combined with good governance initiatives, the ultimate impact of inclusive human development is likely to be enhanced.Originality/valueThis study establishes that, whereas taxation dynamics largely have a favorable incidence in promoting inclusive human development, when such taxation measures are complemented with good governance initiatives, the overall impact of inclusive human development is also likely to be positive. It follows that policies designed to promote political, economic and institutional governance should be implemented in tandem, which policies designed to boost tax performance in the sampled countries. The findings can also be understood from the perspectives that inclusive human development is likely to be boosted when taxation measures are complemented with, (1) the free and fair election and replacement of political leaders (i.e. political governance), (2) the formulation and implementation of inclusive policies for the delivery of public goods (i.e. economic governance) and (3) the respect by citizens and the state of institutions that govern interactions between them (i.e. institutional governance).

Published: June 2022

PurposeUnderstanding China's carbon dioxide (CO2) emission status is crucial for getting Carbon Neutrality status. The purpose of the paper is to calculate two possible scenarios for CO2 emission distribution and calculated input-output flows of CO2 emissions for every 31 China provinces for 2012, 2015 and 2017 years.Design/methodology/approachIn this study using the input and output (IO) table's data for the selected years, the authors found the volume of CO2 emissions per one Yuan of revenue for the industry in 2012 and the coefficient of emission reduction compared to 2012.FindingsResults show that in the industries with a huge volume of CO2 emissions, such as “Mining and washing of coal”, the authors cannot observe the reduction processes for years. Industries where emissions are being reduced are “Processing of petroleum, coking, nuclear fuel”, “Production and distribution of electric power and heat power”, “Agriculture, Forestry, Animal Husbandry and Fishery”. For the “construction” industry the situation with emissions did not change.Originality/value“Transport, storage, and postal services” and “Smelting and processing of metals” industries in China has the second place concerning emissions, but over the past period, emissions have been sufficiently reduced. “Construction” industry produces a lot of emissions, but this industry does not carry products characterized by large emissions from other industries. Authors can observe that Jiangsu produces a lot of CO2 emissions, but they do not take products characterized by significant emissions from other provinces. Shandong produces a lot of emissions and consumes many of products characterized by large emissions from other provinces. However, Shandong showed a reduction in CO2 emissions from 2012 to 2017.
Time‐limited diets and the gut microbiota in cardiometabolic disease
Authors: Ratiner Karina , Shapiro Hagit , Goldenberg Kim , Elinav Eran 
Published: June 2022

AbstractIn recent years, intermittent fasting (IF), including periodic fasting and time‐restricted feeding (TRF), has been increasingly suggested to constitute a promising treatment for cardiometabolic diseases (CMD). A deliberate daily pause in food consumption influences the gut microbiome and the host circadian clock, resulting in improved cardiometabolic health. Understanding the molecular mechanisms by which circadian host‐microbiome interactions affect host metabolism and immunity may add a potentially important dimension to effective implementation of IF diets. In this review, we discuss emerging evidence potentially linking compositional and functional alterations of the gut microbiome with IF impacts on mammalian metabolism and risk of development of hypertension, type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity, and their long‐term micro‐ and macrovascular complications. We highlight the challenges and unknowns in causally linking diurnal bacterial signals with dietary cues and downstream metabolic consequences and means of harnessing these signals toward future microbiome integration into precision medicine.
Do pseudogenes pose a problem for metabarcoding marine animal communities?
Authors: Schultz Jessica A. , Hebert Paul D. N. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractBecause DNA metabarcoding typically employs sequence diversity among mitochondrial amplicons to estimate species composition, nuclear mitochondrial pseudogenes (NUMTs) can inflate diversity. This study quantifies the incidence and attributes of NUMTs derived from the 658‐bp barcode region of cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) in 156 marine animal genomes. NUMTs were examined to ascertain if they could be recognized by their possession of indels or stop codons. In total, 309 NUMTs ≥150 bp were detected, with an average of 1.98 per species (range = 0–33) and a mean length of 391 ± 200 bp. Among this total, 75 (24.3%) lacked indels or stop codons. NUMTs appear to pose the greatest interpretational risk when short (<313 bp) amplicons are used, such as in environmental DNA studies, dietary analyses or processed fish identification. Employing the standard amplicon length (313 bp) for marine metabarcoding, NUMTs could potentially inflate the operational taxonomic unit (OTU) count by 21% above the true species count while also raising intraspecific variation at COI by 15%. However, when both amplicon length and position are considered, inflation in OTU counts and in barcode variation were just 9% and 10%, respectively, suggesting NUMTs will not seriously distort biodiversity assessments. There was a weak positive correlation between genome size and NUMT count but no variation among phyla or trophic groups. Until bioinformatic advances improve NUMT detection, the best defence involves targeting long amplicons and developing reference databases that include both mitochondrial sequences and their NUMT derivatives.

AbstractObjectivesIt is currently accepted that inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of connective tissue disease‐associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (CTD‐PAH). However, the efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy remains anecdotal. The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy in patients with CTD‐PAH and to further assess whether response differs between CTD subtypes and clinical features.MethodsWe systematically searched studies reporting the treatment response of immunosuppressants and biological agents in CTD‐PAH from PUBMED, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Scopus. Studies had to report treatment regime and response criteria. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle‐Ottawa scale.ResultsSeven independent cohorts, 1 trial, and 1 case‐series encompassing 439 patients with CTD‐PAH were included. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the therapeutic regimen. There were 146 patients in the immunosuppressants group with better heart function at baseline and 52.1% (76/146) of them were responders. There were 236 patients treated with immunosuppressants combined with PAH‐specific therapy who showed more severity at baseline and 41.1% (97/236) of them were responders. Among different CTD subtypes, patients with systemic lupus erythematosus‐associated PAH (SLE‐PAH) showed a better response to immunosuppressants (response rate 48.1%). What is more, 1 randomized controlled trial showed the potential therapeutic value of rituximab (n = 57) in CTD‐PAH patients.ConclusionsCurrent studies support the use of immunosuppressive therapy in CTD‐PAH, especially in SLE‐PAH. Further studies on biological agents and the therapeutic effect of different immunosuppressants are still needed.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
The cocoa pod borer (CPB) moth, Conopomorpha cramerella (Snellen) is one of the most injurious pests of cocoa in South‐East Asia. Identification relies upon tedious morphological procedures such as genitalia dissection for adults, and there are no keys for larvae or pupae.
We used the COI barcode region as an alternative diagnostic method to confirm species identification of all three stages, that is, larvae, pupae and adults.
Specimens were collected using various methods, including pheromone traps and direct removal of larvae from a range of fruits such as taun, cocoa and rambutan. The surveys took place in 2008–2009 in Papua New Guinea, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Three Molecular Operational Taxonomic Units were detected: two Conopomorpha (Gracillaridae) species (one being CPB) and one undetermined Stathmopodidae. DNA analysis confirmed the presence of CPB at all sites, regardless of the collection method. Seven distinct haplotypes of CPB were found in total with haplotype CPB_COI_A representing 95% of the CPB samples.
The remaining haplotypes diverged from CPB_COI_A by less than 0.3% and were found in cocoa and rambutan. The undetermined Conopomorpha species could not be identified using this approach due to this species not having reference DNA sequences represented in public DNA databases.
We recommend using this molecular method for monitoring purposes.

Authors: Fox Rachael , Anderson Jessica , Young Nicole , Davis Laura , Cvejic Erin , Mooney Samantha S. 
Published: June 2022

BackgroundSecondary postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) complicates ~1% of pregnancies and can cause serious maternal morbidity. However, evidence guiding optimal management is scarce and often based on case series and expert opinion.AimsTo measure the success of primary medical therapy in managing secondary PPH and to identify factors associated with need for surgical management.Materials and methodsPostpartum patients presenting to a tertiary women's hospital emergency department between July 2020 and October 2021 with secondary PPH were recruited. Data from the acute presentation were prospectively collected. Antenatal and intrapartum data were collected from medical record review. The primary outcome was the success of medical management for secondary PPH, defined by the implementation of medical or expectant measures without subsequent need for surgical intervention.ResultsOne‐hundred and twenty patients underwent primary medical management for secondary PPH. Ninety‐eight (82%) were managed successfully with medical management and 22 (18%) required surgery. Medical management involved misoprostol (n = 33; 27.5%), antibiotics (n = 108; 90%), and less commonly other uterotonics (n = 6; 5%). Factors associated with lower rates of successful medical management included: antecedent manual removal of placenta (MROP) (odds ratio (OR) 0.2, P = 0.047), primary PPH ≥500 mL (OR 0.39, P = 0.048) or ≥1 L (OR 0.24, P = 0.009), >200 mL blood loss at presentation (OR 0.17, P = 0.015), increasing time post‐delivery (OR 0.84, P = 0.044), retained products of conception (RPOC) on ultrasound (OR 0.024, P = 0.001) and vaginal birth (OR 0.27, P = 0.027).ConclusionMedical management was highly successful. Vaginal birth, MROP, primary PPH, RPOC on ultrasound and increasing time post‐delivery were associated with increased need for surgical management.

Published: June 2022

AbstractBackgroundPreoperative skin antiseptics are used prior to surgery to reduce the risk of surgical site infection (SSI). There is debate as to which is the most effective. The aim of this network meta‐analysis (NMA) is to compare the effectiveness of different skin preparations at reducing SSIs in patients undergoing incisional surgery.MethodsThe study protocol was published in PROSPERO (CRD4202181599) a priori with predefined search terms and inclusion/exclusion criteria. The skin preparations for comparison were: chlorhexidine/alcohol (CHA), chlorhexidine/water (CHW), poviodine/alcohol (PVIA), poviodine/water (PVIW). The records identified were screened by two authors independently by title, abstract and in full text. The revised tool for risk‐of bias (ROB2) assessment was used.ResultsTwenty‐nine RCTs involving 15 796 patients were included in the NMA. A significant but small increase in the odds of infection was seen in the PVIW group compared to the CHA group (OR 1.34, 95%CrI 1.09–1.64), but other comparisons were not statistically significantly different. Ranking the treatment arms showed there was a 64% probability that CHA is the most effective and a 62.7% probability that PVIW is the least effective treatment.ConclusionChlorhexidine/alcohol (CHA) was found to be the most effective for prevention of superficial and deep SSI while PVIW was the least. There was no differences seen between CHA and PVIA, or CHW and PVIW. The superiority of CHA is likely due to the effect of the alcohol in the base. Hence the choice between CHA and PVIA should be based on health and cost considerations.
Review article: thromboelastography in liver diseases
Authors: He Yanglan , Yao Haijuan , Ageno Walter , Méndez‐Sánchez Nahum , Guo Xiaozhong , Qi Xingshun 
Published: June 2022

SummaryBackgroundPatients with liver diseases have complicated haemostatic alternations, resulting in both bleeding and thromboembolic complications, which cannot be sufficiently evaluated by conventional coagulation tests (CCTs), such as platelet count or prothrombin time. Thromboelastography (TEG) is a whole blood viscoelastic test which globally reflects changes in the haemostatic system, and its utility in evaluating patients with liver disease is increasingly recognised.AimsTo review the current evidence and clinical significance of TEG in liver diseases.MethodsLiterature regarding TEG and liver diseases was comprehensively searched.ResultsTEG is associated closely with the severity and aetiology of liver disease, the course of infection and the risk of bleeding and death, but not the risk of portal venous system thrombosis. Additionally, TEG‐guided transfusion protocols can significantly decrease the requirement for blood products compared to those guided by CCTs.ConclusionTEG can reflect the haemostatic status of liver diseases more comprehensively than CCTs. It has the potential to assess the severity of liver diseases, predict the risk of bleeding and death in patients with liver disease and guide blood product transfusion. Future studies should standardise the use of TEG for assessing disease severity and development of clinical events and guiding blood product transfusion in patients with liver diseases.
Resilience in animal care professions: does the stress shield model fit?
Authors: Cushing N , Meehan C , Norris K 
Published: June 2022

Animal care professionals can experience adverse psychological outcomes due to their work, therefore research exploring supporting resilience in this population is needed. This study investigated the capacity of the Stress Shield Model (SSM) to explain relationships between individual, interpersonal, and organisational factors with outcomes in resilience (resilience, growth, and job satisfaction) in animal care professionals. Empowerment was hypothesised to mediate these relationships. Australian and New Zealand animal care professionals (N = 393) completed an online survey measuring conscientiousness, coping, team and leader relationships, job demands, organisational resources, empowerment, growth, resilience, and job satisfaction. Results indicated that SSM can partially explain relationships between individual, interpersonal, and organisational factors and outcomes in resilience, and empowerment partially mediated the effect of organisational resources on growth. Problem‐approach coping positively predicted resilience and growth; conversely, emotion‐avoidant coping negatively predicted these outcomes. Conscientiousness positively predicted resilience and negatively predicted job satisfaction. Team relationships positively predicted growth and resilience, while leader‐member relationships positively predicted job satisfaction. Organisational resources positively predicted resilience, growth, and job satisfaction, conversely, job demands predicted reductions across these outcomes. Findings indicate supporting resilience in animal care professionals requires fostering individual, interpersonal, and organisational resources.
