Authors: Izhboldina Valeriia , Lebedev Igor 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThe successful application of the group of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the tasks of monitoring large areas is becoming a promising direction in modern robotics. This paper aims to study the tasks related to the control of the UAV group while performing a common mission.Design/methodology/approachThis paper discusses the main tasks solved in the process of developing an autonomous UAV group. During the survey, five key tasks of group robotics were investigated, namely, UAV group control, path planning, reconfiguration, task assignment and conflict resolution. Effective methods for solving each problem are presented, and an analysis and comparison of these methods are carried out. Several specifics of various types of UAVs are also described.FindingsThe analysis of a number of modern and effective methods showed that decentralized methods have clear advantages over centralized ones, since decentralized methods effectively perform the assigned mission regardless of on the amount of resources used. As for the method of planning the group movement of UAVs, it is worth choosing methods that combine the algorithms of global and local planning. This combination eliminates the possibility of collisions not only with static and dynamic obstacles, but also with other agents of the group.Originality/valueThe results of scientific research progress in the tasks of UAV group control have been summed up.

Authors: Giebe Chris , Goswami Ashita , Rigotti Thomas 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThe purpose of the article is to examine the interplay between charismatic leadership and two follower characteristics in predicting safety behaviors during the Covid-19 pandemic in two distinct countries.Design/methodology/approachThe quantitative investigation was conducted during the first wave of the Covid-19 crisis in India and Germany. Given the importance of safety behaviors during the pandemic, the authors proposed high charismatic public leadership, the perception of crisis and belief in science of the constituent influence safety behaviors.FindingsConsistent with the hypothesis, the authors found that there was a positive relationship between charismatic leadership and safety behaviors. Contrary to the expectations, belief in science did not moderate the relationship between charisma and safety behaviors. Opposite to the hypotheses, the relationship between charisma and crisis was stronger under followers' low in perception of crisis.Originality/valueThe findings contribute to the understanding of charisma during a crisis and the role of followers' perceptions. Implications include raising awareness about the importance of charismatic leadership in encouraging critical safety behaviors during a crisis, but these effects depend in part on the followers' attributions of the public leader.

Published: March 2022

PurposeThis article aims to examine the simultaneous effect of risks on physical and intangible dimensions of supply chain performance under the globalization and Covid-19 perspectives.Design/methodology/approachThe manipulation of literature reviews together with the combination of Q-sort and empirical data in the construction industry to identify and assess risks and supply chain performance, is a novel approach in the supply chain risk management area. The analysis of Structural Equation Modeling that is able to calculate the simultaneous impact of various risks on supply chain performance, is used to validate this relationship.FindingsGlobal supply chains are currently facing interruptions caused by several sources of inherent uncertainties, e.g. natural disasters, war and terrorism, external legal issues, economic and political instability, social and cultural grievances, and diseases. The weaknesses of the current global supply chain have been revealed, resulting in delays, supply unfulfillment, labor shortages and demand fluctuation. These supply chain risks have a great on supply chain performance indicators, and the magnitude of their impact tends to increasingly impact in the context of globalization and the Covid-19 pandemic. Findings showed that the proposed risk models can be explained with Variance of supplier performance (25.5%), Innovation and learning (21.2%), Internal business (61.9%), Customer service (39.4%) and Finance (39.7%).Research limitations/implicationsSupply chain managers should keep in mind acceptable cost/benefit trade-offs in corporate risk mitigation efforts associated with major contingency risks. In doing so, the proposed hypothesized model can be “a road map” to achieve this purpose. Our research favors the adoption of supply chain management strategies, e.g. postponement, speculation and avoidance.Originality/valueThe trend toward globalization and the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic increasing supply chain complexity are regarded as key drivers of supply chain risk and therefore enhance vulnerability to supply chain.
COVID-19 and GCC stock market performance: an analysis of the boon (financial stimulus package) and curse (oil price plunge) effects
Authors: Shamsudheen Shinaj Valangattil , Khattak Mudeer Ahmed , Muneeza Aishath , Huda Makeen 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the reaction (in terms of returns and volatility) of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) country-wise stock markets (both conventional and Islamic) in response to the surge of COVID-19 cases, with special reference to the announcement of financial stimulus packages in each country and the recent global oil price plunge. Further, the study also examines the impact of COVID-19 cases on the stock market returns of each GCC country and the continuous dynamics of correlation between COVID-19 cases and GCC stock markets.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses an exponential generalized auto regressive conditional heteroskedasticity model and continuous wavelet coherence to estimate the stock market volatility and co-movement between COVID-19 cases and stock returns.

Findings
Empirical findings indicate an adverse reaction (negative returns and high volatility) during the period examined, with the stimulus package resulting in a positive transformation of returns in each country-level stock market as well as the regional stock index. Further, no evidence of an adverse effect of the oil price plunge is identified. All findings are identical between both conventional and Islamic stock indices.

Originality/value
While ample research has been conducted on the impact and dynamics of the pandemic on stock markets, little has addressed the areas of financial stimulus packages and the oil price plunge. The findings of this study show that further research needs to be conducted to elucidate the ways in which effective financial stimulus packages can be formulated in the GCC region to mitigate the adverse effects of COVID-19 for economies without causing major financial deficits, as well as to find strategies to diversify economies away from the oil curse.

Published: March 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to introduce chatbot as a new tool of artificial intelligence (AI) and represent the feasibility of using it in different sections of libraries.

Design/methodology/approach
The present paper is a theoretical paper that was conducted by the library research method. In this paper, while reviewing various articles in the field of a chatbot, has been tried to identify practical usage of chatbot in library and information centers and also illustrate it.

Findings
Findings show that although chatbot is used in some libraries, but this use is limited. Libraries must use the capabilities of this powerful tool for their own purposes and provide the satisfaction of their users. In addition to the benefits of a chatbot, there are some challenges that should be considered by librarians.

Originality/value
Few articles have addressed the usage of AI tools such as chatbot in libraries. So, this paper is one of the few articles that express the usage of chatbot in different sections of the library and gives practical examples of their usage in some libraries, mentions the challenges ahead of librarians in the face of this technology.

Published: March 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo explore the feasibility of a rapid, community‐engaged strategy to prioritize health equity policy options as informed by research evidence, community‐voiced needs, and public health priorities.Data SourcesData came from residents in a midsized, demographically, and geographically diverse county over a period of 8 months in 2020 and an evidence review of the health equity policy literature during the same time period.Study DesignA descriptive case study is used to explore the feasibility and potential value of a community codesigned approach to establish community priorities for health equity policy.Data Collection/Extraction MethodsEvidence synthesis of health equity policy was conducted parallel to 15 community listening sessions across the county to elicit information on health needs. We used scoping review methods to obtain literature from academic databases and scholarly public health and policy organizations. This information was cross walked with themes from the listening sessions to identify 10 priority policy areas, which were taken back to the community for 15 participatory discussion and ranking sessions.Principal FindingsThe process appeared to authentically engage the input of 200 community members representative of minoritized groups while identifying 99 evidence‐informed policy levers to promote health equity. Discussion and ranking activities were successful in facilitating community discussion and policy decision making. Remote platforms may have limited the engagement of some residents while promoting the participation of others. Conducting information integration within the research team prior to community policy ranking sessions limited the community ownership over how policies were interpreted and communicated.ConclusionsA combination of information integration and community ranking activities can be used to achieve community‐engaged policy prioritization of options in a fairly rapid period of time. While this process provides an example of authentic community ownership of policy prioritization, the compressed timeline limited the community's engagement in the information integration phase.
The effect of high involvement work systems on organisational performance and employee well‐being in a Spanish industrial context
Authors: Elorza Unai , Garmendia Alaine , Kilroy Steven , Van de Voorde Karina , Van Beurden Jeske 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis study investigates whether employee perceptions of High Involvement Work Systems (HIWS) mediate the positive relationship between implemented‐HIWS and the parallel outcomes of employee well‐being and organisational performance. To test these relationships, data was collected from 20,646 employees and 2066 managers in 198 organisations from Spanish industrial companies (mainly small and medium enterprises, SMEs). Results from a 2‐1‐2 multilevel structural equation modelling analysis showed that implemented‐HIWS are positively related to perceived‐HIWS, which in turn, are positively associated with both financial performance and the well‐being outcomes of job satisfaction and positive affect while being negatively associated with the well‐being outcome of negative affect. Finally, the study also showed a direct negative effect of implemented‐HIWS on job satisfaction suggesting that the source from which HIWS are rated matters for their consequences on some well‐being outcomes. We discuss the implications of these results for theory and practice.
A review and synthesis of contemporary sustainability accounting research and the development of a research agenda
Authors: Hsiao Pei‐Chi Kelly , de Villiers Charl , Horner Claire , Oosthuizen Hein 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThe study provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary sustainability accounting research, comprising 1,283 academic articles published in 54 journals (2014–2020). Sustainability disclosure is the most frequently researched topic and a substantial proportion of publications analyse a national setting, examine a European context, investigate listed firms, adopt an empirical archival research method, apply social and political theories, or focus broadly on sustainability. Based on this analysis, we develop a conceptual framework of sustainability accounting influences. We discuss prevalent themes, empirical findings and apparent inconsistencies, reflecting on recent trends and the state of sustainability accounting knowledge, developing an agenda for future research.

AbstractThe rapid progress of sequencing technology has greatly facilitated the de novo genome assembly of pig breeds. However, the assembly of the wild boar genome is still lacking, hampering our understanding of chromosomal and genomic evolution during domestication from wild boars into domestic pigs. Here, we sequenced and de novo assembled a European wild boar genome (ASM2165605v1) using the long‐range information provided by 10× Linked‐Reads sequencing. We achieved a high‐quality assembly with contig N50 of 26.09 Mb. Additionally, 1.64% of the contigs (222) with lengths from 107.65 kb to 75.36 Mb covered 90.3% of the total genome size of ASM2165605v1 (~2.5 Gb). Mapping analysis revealed that the contigs can fill 24.73% (93/376) of the gaps present in the orthologous regions of the updated pig reference genome (Sscrofa11.1). We further improved the contigs into chromosome level with a reference‐assistant scaffolding method. Using the ‘assembly‐to‐assembly’ approach, we identified intra‐chromosomal large structural variations (SVs, length >1 kb) between ASM2165605v1 and Sscrofa11.1 assemblies. Interestingly, we found that the number of SV events on the X chromosome deviated significantly from the linear models fitting autosomes (R2 > 0.64, p < 0.001). Specifically, deletions and insertions were deficient on the X chromosome by 66.14 and 58.41% respectively, whereas duplications and inversions were excessive on the X chromosome by 71.96 and 107.61% respectively. We further used the large segmental duplications (SDs, >1 kb) events as a proxy to understand the large‐scale inter‐chromosomal evolution, by resolving parental‐derived relationships for SD pairs. We revealed a significant excess of SD movements from the X chromosome to autosomes (p < 0.001), consistent with the expectation of meiotic sex chromosome inactivation. Enrichment analyses indicated that the genes within derived SD copies on autosomes were significantly related to biological processes involving nervous system, lipid biosynthesis and sperm motility (p < 0.01). Together, our analyses of the de novo assembly of ASM2165605v1 provides insight into the SVs between European wild boar and domestic pig, in addition to the ongoing process of meiotic sex chromosome inactivation in driving inter‐chromosomal interaction between the sex chromosome and autosomes.

Published: March 2022

AbstractAimThis study aimed to assess the efficacy of image‐guided percutaneous needle biopsy in patients with suspected cancer of unknown primary.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective observational study. Among 291 patients with suspected cancer of unknown primary who were referred to our institution between April 2011 and March 2014, 89 who underwent image‐guided percutaneous needle biopsy and 27 who underwent surgical biopsy were defined as the image‐guided percutaneous needle biopsy group and the surgical group, respectively. Patient backgrounds, diagnostic yields, promptness of biopsy, general anesthesia rates, and severe complication rates were compared between the two groups.ResultsThere was no significant difference in the patient backgrounds of the two groups. The diagnostic yields were 98.9% (95% confidence interval, 93.9%–99.8%) in the image‐guided percutaneous needle biopsy group and 100% (95% confidence interval, 87.5%–100%) in the surgical biopsy group (no significant difference; p = 1.0). The mean time to biopsy was significantly shorter (6.5 days vs. 21.3 days; p < .0001) and general anesthesia was used in significantly fewer patients (0% vs. 40.7%; p < .0001) in the image‐guided percutaneous needle biopsy group. There was no significant difference in the rate of serious complications between the two groups (p = 1.0).ConclusionAs a biopsy procedure for patients with suspected cancer of unknown primary, image‐guided percutaneous needle biopsy is equally diagnostic and safe for surgical biopsy and might be preferable to surgical biopsy in terms of promptness and not requiring general anesthesia.

Published: March 2022

AbstractBackgroundA systematic review was undertaken to identify existing quality performance indicators (QPI) for the surgical treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) with the aim of defining a set of QPIs that can be used to assist in the accreditation of institutions for training, allow cross jurisdiction comparison of treatment and outcomes, as well as provide a basis to develop quality improvement programs. These QPI's capture key components of patient care that are fundamental to overall outcome.MethodsA systematic literature review was conducted searching MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, and SCOPUS with all literature available until the date of 1 August 2021 included. Search terms utilized were ‘Quality of health care OR Quality improvement or Quality control OR Quality indicators’, AND ‘Gastrectomy’ OR ‘Stomach neoplasm’ OR ‘Adenocarcinoma’ OR ‘Gastric resection’ OR ‘Gastric cancer’.ResultsTwelve articles were included in the final analysis. The selected studies included editorials (n = 2), retrospective review of institutional experience (n = 5), cohort studies (n = 2), survey methodology (n = 1), expert guidelines (n = 1) and consensus statement (n = 1). For GC QPIs, process measures included patient discussion at multi‐disciplinary meetings, access to perioperative multimodal diagnostic pathways, and specific surgical metrics (margin negative resections and adequate lymphadenectomy). Outcome measures included the RO resection rate, reoperation, readmission rate, and length of hospital stay.ConclusionsThere is a relative paucity of internationally agreed QPI for the surgical management of gastric adenocarcinoma. The data from this review will form the basis of a project to develop internationally agreed and feasible QPI for gastric cancer resections.
