Linking LMX and schedule flexibility with employee innovative work behaviors: mediating role of employee empowerment and response to change
Authors: Rafique Saima , Khan Naveed R. , Soomro Shuaib Ahmed , Masood Fazeelat 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThe paper aims to investigate the determinants of workplace innovation behavior of women employees in Pakistan. With a growing share of women's participation in the labor force in developing economies, it is crucial to understand their behavior. The authors looked into various practices that drive women's innovative behavior using social exchange theory (SET) as a theoretical framework.Design/methodology/approachThis study is quantitative-based on the positivistic paradigm. Following the survey method technique, responses are collected from 317 female employees in the service industry. The authors used structural equation modeling for the data analysis.FindingsThe results indicate a significant impact of leader-member exchange (LMX) on employee empowerment; schedule flexibility was also a possible predictor of workplace innovation behavior through mediating roles of employee empowerment and response to change. The study findings are consistent with the prior literature and according to the developed hypothesis. Further, women's response to change partially mediates women employees' empowerment and workplace innovation behaviors. In addition, LMX significantly affects women's response to change through women employees' empowerment, leading to workplace innovation behavior.Practical implicationsThe implication is that supervisors should be adaptable in working relationships with their women employees to bring positive workplace innovative behaviors. They create such exchanges with employees to make them feel that the organizations value them. The paper identifies the need to develop supportive supervisor-employee exchange relationships to encourage positive, innovative behavior in female employees.Originality/valueThis paper examines the workplace innovation behavior of women employees in Pakistani patriarchal society and a male-dominating workplace environment.
Psychological contract fulfilment and work behaviour nexus: the interactive effects of employee job autonomy and trust
Authors: Noble-Nkrumah Frances , Anyigba Hod , Mensah Henry Kofi 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the interactive effects of employee job autonomy and trust on the relationship between psychological contract fulfilment and work behaviour in international non-governmental organisations.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 279 employees of international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) with over 10 years of working experience in the INGO industry in Ghana. A questionnaire comprising 27 items pertaining to the study constructs was administered. The reliability of the instrument was verified through item analyses. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted to establish the instrument’s construct validity. The study hypotheses were tested and competing models were compared using multiple hierarchical regression.FindingsAll scales were found to have acceptable reliability estimates. A confirmatory factor analysis established that the manifest variables met the required model fit thresholds and that the latter were empirically distinct. This established the scales' construct validity. The results of the multiple hierarchical regression procedures indicated that a significant number of the study hypotheses could be accepted as statistically significant. A number of moderators were also significant. Specifically, psychological contract fulfilment (PCF) was found to have a positive relationship with organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB). The results also showed a positive relationship between job autonomy and in-role employee performance (IRP) and OCB. There was a positive relationship between both the IRP and OCB. Interestingly, employee job autonomy moderated the positive relationship between PCF and OCB.Originality/valueThis research is among the first of its kind to examine the variables of PCF, work behaviour, employee job autonomy and trust towards the organisation among INGO employees in Ghana. Additionally, the study provides a novel lens to understand the underlying interaction mechanisms through which employee job autonomy moderates the positive relationship between PCF and in-role employee performance. To the best of our knowledge, this study will be the first to combine PCF, trust, employee job autonomy, in-role employee performance and organisational citizenship behaviour in one study. This study confirms and extends the work of Turnleyet al.(2003) by including trust and employee job autonomy as key constructs in a social exchange relationship, drawing from the social exchange theory.
Mental health mobile app use to manage psychological difficulties: an umbrella review
Authors: Badesha Kiran , Wilde Sarah , Dawson David L. 
Published: March 2022

PurposeA rapid increase in global smartphone ownership and digital health technologies offers the potential for mobile phone applications (apps) to deliver mental health interventions. The purpose of this paper is to bring together evidence reporting on mental health mobile apps to gain an understanding of the quality of current evidence, the positive and adverse effects of apps and the mechanisms underlying such effects.Design/methodology/approachA systematic search was carried out across six databases, for any systematic reviews or meta-analyses conducted up to 2020. Review quality was assessed using the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews.FindingsAcross a total of 24 articles, a variety of clinical outcomes were assessed. Most compelling support was shown for apps targeting anxiety symptoms; some evidence favoured the use of apps for depression symptoms. Less evidence was available for the remaining clinical symptoms such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, sleep disorders and substance use. Overall, there was limited evidence pertaining to adverse effects and change mechanisms and a lack of quality reporting across a large proportion of included reviews. The included reviews demonstrate the need for further robust research before apps are recommended clinically.Originality/valueThis paper makes a valuable contribution to the current status of research and reviews investigating mental health mobile apps. Recommendations are made for improved adherence to review guidelines and to ensure risk of bias is minimised.
Creating antique effects on silk fabric
Authors: Sun Longfei , Le Yingchun , Wu Junling , Lin Long 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to reduce the gloss of the surface of silk fabrics, by treating the fabrics with tea and matting agent, to imitate the aging and retro effects of silk artefacts.

Design/methodology/approach
Silk fabrics were treated with different processing techniques. The aged appearance and surface gloss of the silk fabrics were characterised by sensory analysis, measurement of reflectivity, scanning electron microscopy, measurement of brightness and chroma to identify the influential factors.

Findings
The application of matting agent on silk fabrics could reduce the lustre of silk fabrics. Treated with matting agent and tea pigments, silk fabrics could be “aged” to achieve retro effects within a relatively short period of time. A number of other factors and mechanisms that affect the reflectivity of the silk fabrics were also identified.

Research limitations/implications
There is no definite index to evaluate the antique effect of fabrics.

Practical implications
The method developed through this study provided a simple and practical solution to achieving aging and retro effects on silk fabrics.

Originality/value
The method for reducing the lustre of silk fabrics by treating them with matting agent is novel and the finding of the relationships among reflectivity and brightness and chroma is original.
Mission alignment in the hybrid organization: the role of indirect support activities and an activity ecosystem
Authors: Kurland Nancy 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to highlight the role a full range of activities can play to combat mission drift in a social enterprise. In doing so, it expands understanding of integrated activities to recognize the role of indirect support activities and an activity ecosystem to sustain mission. This paper also provides practical implications about the process for creating such an ecosystem.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper relies on an in-depth qualitative study of a for-profit company that later in life became an employee-owned benefit corporation. Data include interviews, informal and formal company documents and a site visit.

Findings
This paper expands the definition of activity integration to recognize indirect mission support, highlights the role an activity ecosystem plays to ensure the viability of these activities, and identifies a set of rules and a three-step process to create the reinforcing ecosystem.

Originality/value
Commonly, activities are integrated if the company earns revenues through pursuit of its social mission and differentiated if the company earns revenues not related to its social mission. By comparison, this paper argues for a more nuanced definition of activities to recognize indirect mission support and its role in reinforcing a dual mission.

Published: March 2022

AbstractPsoriasis in people living with HIV (PLHIV) has been reported as having particular clinical characteristics. However, most of the source data was derived from descriptive studies in Europe and the USA. This study was conducted to compare the characteristics of psoriasis in PLHIV to general psoriasis patients. We retrospectively reviewed the records of 73 cases of psoriasis in PLHIV and of 232 general psoriasis patients who visited a psoriasis clinic in Bangkok, Thailand. Psoriasis in PLHIV predominated in males (78.1%), with an older age of onset, significantly lower rates of nail involvement and psoriatic arthritis, but higher rates of co‐infectious diseases than for general psoriasis patients. A low nadir CD4 T‐cell count (<100 cells/μl) and CD4 T‐cell count at psoriasis diagnosis were associated with a high body surface area (BSA) involvement. The mean BSA involvement in PLHIV was 24. Although 64.4% (47/73) of the PLHIV had moderate‐to‐high psoriasis severity, 29.8% of those (14/47) only received topical treatment. Acitretin was the most common drug used. Other therapies were rarely used, and no biologics were administered. In conclusion, psoriasis in PLHIV has several clinical features that differ from general psoriasis. PLHIV tend to receive substandard care for psoriasis, even in upper‐middle‐income countries.
Modification methods and applications of egg protein gel properties: A review
Authors: Lv Xiaohui , Huang Xi , Ma Bin , Chen Yue , Batool Zahra , Fu Xing , Jin Yongguo 
Published: March 2022

AbstractEgg protein (EP) has a variety of functional properties, such as gelling, foaming, and emulsifying. The gel characteristics provide a foundation for applications in the food industry and research on EP. The proteins denature and aggregate to form a dense three‐dimensional gel network structure, with a process influenced by protein concentration, pH, ion type, and strength. In addition, the gelation properties of EP can be altered to varying degrees by applying different treatment conditions to EP. Currently, modification methods for proteins include physical modification (heat‐induced denaturation, freeze–thaw modification, high‐pressure modification, and ultrasonic modification), chemical modification (glycosylation modification, phosphorylation modification, acylation modification, ethanol modification, polyphenol modification), and biological modification (enzyme modification). Pidan, salted eggs, egg tofu, and other egg products have unique sensory properties, due to the gel properties of EP. In accessions, EP has also been used as a new ingredient in food packaging and biopharmaceuticals due to its gel properties. This review will further promote EP gel research and provide guidance for its full application in many fields.

Published: March 2022

AbstractBackground and aimsVariation in the TAS2R38 taste receptor gene alters the ability to taste bitter compounds. We tested whether TAS2R38 variation influences early smoking behaviours in adolescence, a critical period of acquisition when taste may influence the natural course of tobacco use.Design and participantsObservational study (Nicotine Dependence in Teens [NDIT]). Cox proportional hazards models were conducted using data from European ancestry adolescent participants who initiated smoking during follow‐up (n = 219, i.e. incident smokers). In young adulthood, cross‐sectional analyses were restricted to European ancestry self‐reported current smokers at age 24 (n = 148).SettingMontréal, Canada.MeasurementsIn adolescents, the rates of attaining early smoking milestones were estimated for tasters {PAV diplotypes (i.e. PAV/PAV or PAV/AVI)} versus non‐tasters {AVI diplotype (i.e. AVI/AVI)}. In young adults, associations between tasting status and a nicotine intake biomarker (cotinine + 3'hydroxycotinine) and past‐week cigarette consumption were assessed.FindingsAmong incident smokers, similar rates to first whole cigarette were found between the diplotype groups (hazard ratio [HR], 1.05; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.75–1.48; P = 0.765). However, smokers with the PAV (vs AVI) diplotypes attained monthly smoking more rapidly (HR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.04–2.32; P = 0.033) and had faster conversion to three different measures of tobacco dependence (International Classification of Diseases: HR, 2.29; 95% CI, 0.99–5.28; P = 0.052; modified Fagerström Tolerance Questionnaire: HR, 3.02, 95% CI, 1.04–8.79; P = 0.043; Hooked on Nicotine Checklist: HR, 1.87; 95% CI, 0.98–3.60; P = 0.059). At age 24, those with PAV (vs AVI) diplotypes had higher mean cotinine + 3'hydroxycotinine (197 vs 143 ng/mL; P = 0.053).ConclusionsAdolescents with a genetic variation increasing their ability to taste bitter compounds appear to escalate more quickly to monthly smoking and tobacco dependence during adolescence and have higher nicotine intake in young adulthood versus those without that genetic variation.
Composition and structure of woody plant communities as a function of altitude and human degradation in Afromontane moist evergreen forests SW Ethiopia

Published: March 2022

AbstractTropical moist evergreen forests provide key ecosystem services for human well‐being. However, due to human pressure, Afromontane forests have lost much of their natural species composition and structure. In this study, vegetation surveys were carried out with the aim of investigating woody species composition and structure and their drivers of degradation in SW Ethiopia. Woody plant species were identified, forest structure measured and environmental variables determined in 75 plots across four forest patches along an altitudinal gradient. The result shows that the remaining patches still have 63 woody species from 36 families. Our results showed the presence of three plant communities: a first mid‐elevation degraded mountain forest community, a second mid‐elevation more intact community and a third higher elevation degraded cloud forest community. The Shannon diversity index of the second community was significantly higher than the first and the third community. Exotic tree planting and charcoal production were important determinants of the first community composition. Despite their socioecological importance, the expansion of exotic tree planting showed to be a major threat for natural forest ecosystem. In the study area, intervention is needed to maintain the ecological balance between plantation and natural forest.
Prolonged passive second stage of labor in nulliparous women—Prevalence and risk factors: A historical cohort study
Authors: Bjelke Maria , Thurn Lars , Oscarsson Marie 
Published: March 2022

AbstractIntroductionThis study examined the prevalence of and risk factors for a prolonged passive second stage of labor in nulliparous women.Material and MethodsThis was a historical cohort study of all nulliparous women (n = 1131) at two delivery units in Sweden. Maternal and obstetric data were obtained from electronic medical records during 2019. Duration of the passive second stage was measured as time from retracted cervix to start of pushing. Prolonged passive second stage was defined as ≥2 h. Prevalence was calculated and associations between prolonged passive second stage and maternal, obstetric and neonatal characteristics and potential risk factors were assessed using logistic regression models.ResultsThe prevalence of prolonged passive second stage was 37.6%. Factors associated with an increased risk of prolonged passive second stage were epidural analgesia (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 3.93; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.90–5.34), malpresentation (aOR 2.26; 95% CI 1.27–4.05), maternal age ≥ 30 years (aOR 2.00; 95% CI 1.50–2.65) and birthweight ≥ 4 kg (aOR 1.50; 95% CI 1.05–2.15). Maternal body mass index ≥30 (aOR 0.52; 95% CI 0.34–0.79) and noncohabiting (aOR 0.51; 95% CI 0.30–0.89) reduced the odds of prolonged passive second stage.ConclusionsA prolonged passive second stage of labor in nulliparous women is common (n = 425 [38%]). We found epidural analgesia, malpresentation, maternal age ≥ 30 years and birthweight ≥4 kg to be major risk factors associated with an increased risk of a prolonged passive second stage. Birth outcomes for prolonged passive second stage need to be investigated to strengthen evidence for the management of the second stage of labor.

Published: March 2022

AimsAnticoagulants represent a main source of medication errors (MEs) and complications that have catastrophic implications, posing an obligation on health care providers to assess anticoagulant‐related MEs and factors affecting their occurrence. This study investigates the occurrence and severity of prescribing MEs in patients on anticoagulants and explores their potential predictors.MethodsThis study was a prospective cohort study in a tertiary hospital on 116 patients with a total of 2166 anticoagulant doses.ResultsForty‐four percent of prescribed anticoagulant doses resulted in MEs with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and unfractionated heparin (UFH) causing 61% and 34%, respectively, of the total MEs. More than 50% of all MEs were incorrect doses (high and low) shared between heparin and tinzaparin. The highest severity of error was Category D followed by Category F and Category C. A Poisson regression analysis model revealed that female (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 1.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.13–1.54, P < .001), bridging (IRR 1.52; 95% CI 1.10–2.09; P = .011), venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis (IRR 7.65; 95% CI 4.88–12.02; P < .001), physician non‐adherence (IRR 2.71; 95% CI 2.22–3.29; P < .001), and polypharmacy (IRR 1.68; 95% CI 1.26–2.23; P = .036) were predictors of the higher incidence of MEs. Ordinal logistic regression analysis demonstrated that physician non‐adherence (OR 24.67; 95% CI 5.54–207; P < .001) was the main predictor of increased error severity.ConclusionThe major predictor in increasing both the incidence and severity of MEs is physician adherence to evidence‐based guidelines (EBG). Strict regulations for anticoagulant prescribing through an anticoagulant stewardship program are a necessity.
The Irish perspective on placement opportunities accessed by students on undergraduate Nursing (Intellectual Disability) programmes: A quantitative descriptive study

Published: March 2022

AbstractBackgroundGlobally there are few countries facilitating undergraduate programmes to train nurses specifically to support people with intellectual disabilities. In Ireland, eight Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in partnership with associated health care providers (AHCPs) facilitate undergraduate Nursing (Intellectual Disability) degree programmes. Practice placements are a core element of these programmes whereby students complete several hours in these learning environments as part fulfilment of their degree requirements. Because people with intellectual disability who traditionally accessed services in congregated settings, are now increasingly accessing mainstream services, new placement types are emerging. This study aimed to describe practice placements, areas of the registered nurse in intellectual disability (RNID) specialist support and other learning opportunities accessed by undergraduate students on Bachelor of Science Nursing (Intellectual Disability) programmes across eight HEIs in Ireland.MethodsA survey design involving a Placement Opportunities Tool (POT) developed through expert group meetings and consensus was utilised. Following ethical approval, Qualtrics XM software was enlisted to distribute the online survey to eight HEIs in Ireland. Excel and SPSS were engaged to undertake descriptive statistical analysis.FindingsA total of five fully complete and one partially complete POT were included in the data analysis. Findings demonstrate that majority of placements are accessed in traditional Intellectual Disability services with students having less access to placements either in mainstream services or with RNID specialists.ConclusionsThis study details placement accessed by nursing students (Intellectual Disability) and associated areas of RNID specialist support. There is an urgent need to develop undergraduate student placements which reflect the contemporary lives of people with an intellectual disability. HEIs, AHCPs, nursing regulators, support persons and people with intellectual disabilities need to collaborate to develop practice placements enabling students to access learning experiences embedded in the realities of people living with intellectual disability who are integrating into their communities.
