The higher the brand awareness and the creation of a positive brand image will create a positive attitude from consumers, so that in the end the consumer's purchase intention will increase.

Understanding Consumption Reduction Through the TPB: Moderating Effects of the Need for Evaluation and Self-Referencing Individual Differences

Limited research has focused on consumption reduction as one potential pathway to meet sustainable development goals. This paper investigates consumers’ intentions to undertake consumption reduction through the lens of an extended theory of planned behavior (TPB), where selected individual differences, namely the need for evaluation (NE) and self-referencing (SR), are given considerable attention. In total, 226 respondents participated in this web-based survey study. The results from structural equation modeling analysis confirm that the extended theory of planned behavior effectively explains consumers’ intentions to undertake consumption reduction. Notably, the individual differences of the NE and SR each uniquely moderate the relationships within the TPB model. This study provides a theoretical contribution by integrating the selected moderators (i.e., the NE and SR) into the TPB framework, increases the TPB’s predictive power, and further provides a novel understanding of the underlying influences of individual differences on consumers’ intentions to undertake consumption reduction for the benefit of the environment. Moreover, the findings offer practical implications for policymakers and social marketers in designing tailor-made interventions and consumption reduction strategies by considering the important role of individual differences.

Slow-Release Nitrogen Fertilizer Promotes the Bacterial Diversity to Drive Soil Multifunctionality

The application of slow-release nitrogen fertilizer not only economizes labor input, but also decreases the frequency of use of mechanical intakes, with significant implications in advancing modern intensive agricultural production. Whether slow-release nitrogen fertilizer application can influence the association between microbial diversity and soil multifunctionality remains controversial. This study analyzed the spatial variances of soil environmental factors, soil multifunctionality, and their correlations with bacterial and fungal communities under five nitrogen application rates. The key factors influencing the dominant microbial species and community structures at different spatial locations were determined by the slow-release nitrogen fertilizer application rate, and the driving factors and dominant species of soil multifunctionality were identified. In contrast to the control group, moderate slow-release nitrogen fertilizer application enhanced soil multifunctionality and ameliorated the resilience of microbial diversity loss at diverse spatial locations resulting from irrational nitrogen fertilizer application. The resilience of the fungal community to disturbances caused by fertilization was lower than that of the bacterial community. Bacterial diversity exhibited a significant correlation with soil multifunctionality, and the soil multifunctionality intensity under 240 kg ha−1 treatment increased by 159.01% compared to the CK. The main dominant bacterial communities and the dominant fungal community Ascomycota affected soil multifunctionality through slow-release nitrogen fertilizer application. Structural equation modeling and random forest analysis demonstrated that bacterial community diversity, particularly in bulk soil and the rhizosphere, community composition, and soil nitrogen form are the primary driving factors of soil multifunctionality. Results indicated that the microbial niche alterations induced by slow-release nitrogen fertilizer application positively affect soil multifunctionality.

Light conditions have a greater impact on leaf quality as food for emperor moth (Saturnia japonica) larvae than tree size

ABSTRACT Emperor moth (Saturnia japonica) outbreaks in Hokkaido’s deciduous forests have been happening since 2006. The susceptibility of monarch birch (Betula maximowicziana) leaves differs, with the specific mechanisms affecting their defensibility at the ontogenetic level remaining unknown. In this study, the first instar emperor moth larvae were fed monarch birch leaves from 32 individual trees (saplings to mature trees), and their body weights were compared. Various leaf characteristics (water content, toughness, leaf mass per area, total phenolics, condensed tannin, nitrogen content, carbon content, and carbon to nitrogen [C/N] ratio) were measured concurrently to identify the factors affecting larval growth. Structural equation model analysis indicated that the C/N ratio was the most important factor affecting larval weight and that light conditions have a greater effect on the C/N ratio. In conclusion, light conditions had a strong effect on the foliar C/N ratio which in turn had a significant impact on the weight of emperor moth larvae. This study provides insights into monarch birch management and proposes that maintaining a lighter canopy is important to reduce herbivore damage.

Predicting THE Determinants of Mobile TV Adoption in an Emerging Market: Moderating Effect of Gender and Age

This article focuses on the impact of consumer-centric factors on the adoption of mobile TV in an emerging market, considering the widespread use of mobile technologies worldwide. It aims to explore the motivations behind users’ utilization of mobile TV and over-the-top platforms in the era of digitalization. The study identifies eight independent factors affecting mobile TV adoption intention, grouped using a three-dimensional THE (technology, human, and environment) framework. Data was collected from 324 smartphone users to test the hypothesized relationships using covariance based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) analysis. Further, moderating effect of gender and age was studied on the proposed relationships. The findings revealed that factors such as cost, content, perceived enjoyment, individual viewing experience, social influence, and convenience play a significant role in the successful adoption of mobile TV. On the other hand, app switching and technology readiness were found to be statistically insignificant. The results offer valuable insights to industry players regarding consumers’ adoption behaviour of mobile TV, helping them minimize business risks and focus their efforts, resources, and investments on profitable innovations. The study is first of its kind in India and adds two relatively new factors, that is individual viewing experience and app-switching, to the existing literature on technology adoption theories.

Topography and Wildfire Jointly Mediate Postfire Ecosystem Multifunctionality in a Chinese Boreal Forest

Both topography and wildfire can exert significant influences on ecosystem processes and functions during boreal forest successions. However, their impacts on ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) remain unclear. A mega-fire burned an area of 8700 hectares in the Great Xing’an Mountains in 2000, creating a wide range of fire severity levels across various topographic positions. This provided a unique opportunity to explore the impacts of mixed-severity fire disturbance in boreal forests. We evaluated the effect pathways of wildfire and topography on aboveground multifunctionality (AEMF), soil multifunctionality (SEMF), and overall multifunctionality (OEMF). We found that high-severity burning resulted in lower AEMF, SEMF, and OEMF relative to low-severity burning. Topographic positions significantly influenced SEMF and OEMF, but not AEMF. Specifically, both lower SEMF and OEMF were observed on south-facing slopes. The structure equation model analysis showed that aspect had exerted strong indirect effects on AEMF, SEMF, and OEMF by affecting soil moisture and regenerated tree density (RTD). Fire severity had indirect negative effects on AEMF and OEMF by reducing RTD and on SEMF by reducing soil bacterial diversity and RTD. Our study elucidates the necessity of considering postfire site environments to better manage forest ecosystems and, in turn, promote the rapid recovery of boreal ecosystem functions.

An integrated microbiome- and metabolome-genome-wide association study reveals the role of heritable ruminal microbial carbohydrate metabolism in lactation performance in Holstein dairy cows.

Despite the growing number of studies investigating the connection between host genetics and the rumen microbiota, there remains a dearth of systematic research exploring the composition, function, and metabolic traits of highly heritable rumen microbiota influenced by host genetics. Furthermore, the impact of these highly heritable subsets on lactation performance in cows remains unknown. To address this gap, we collected and analyzed whole-genome resequencing data, rumen metagenomes, rumen metabolomes and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) content, and lactation performance phenotypes from a cohort of 304 dairy cows. The results indicated that the proportions of highly heritable subsets (h2 ≥ 0.2) of the rumen microbial composition (55%), function (39% KEGG and 28% CAZy), and metabolites (18%) decreased sequentially. Moreover, the highly heritable microbes can increase energy-corrected milk (ECM) production by reducing the rumen acetate/propionate ratio, according to the structural equation model (SEM) analysis (CFI = 0.898). Furthermore, the highly heritable enzymes involved in the SCFA synthesis metabolic pathway can promote the synthesis of propionate and inhibit the acetate synthesis. Next, the same significant SNP variants were used to integrate information from genome-wide association studies (GWASs), microbiome-GWASs, metabolome-GWASs, and microbiome-wide association studies (mWASs). The identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of rs43470227 and rs43472732 on SLC30A9 (Zn2+ transport) (P < 0.05/nSNPs) can affect the abundance of rumen microbes such as Prevotella_sp., Prevotella_sp._E15-22, Prevotella_sp._E13-27, which have the oligosaccharide-degradation enzymes genes, including the GH10, GH13, GH43, GH95, and GH115 families. The identified SNPs of chr25:11,177 on 5s_rRNA (small ribosomal RNA) (P < 0.05/nSNPs) were linked to ECM, the abundance alteration of Pseudobutyrivibrio_sp. (a genus that was also showed to be linked to the ECM production via the mWASs analysis), GH24 (lysozyme), and 9,10,13-TriHOME (linoleic acid metabolism). Moreover, ECM, and the abundances of Pseudobutyrivibrio sp., GH24, and 9,10,13-TRIHOME were significantly greater in the GG genotype than in the AG genotype at chr25:11,177 (P < 0.05). By further the SEM analysis, GH24 was positively correlated with Pseudobutyrivibrio sp., which was positively correlated with 9,10,13-triHOME and subsequently positively correlated with ECM (CFI = 0.942). Our comprehensive study revealed the distinct heritability patterns of rumen microbial composition, function, and metabolism. Additionally, we shed light on the influence of host SNP variants on the rumen microbes with carbohydrate metabolism and their subsequent effects on lactation performance. Collectively, these findings offer compelling evidence for the host-microbe interactions, wherein cows actively modulate their rumen microbiota through SNP variants to regulate their own lactation performance.

The Role of Social Acceptance as A Mediator Variable in The Influence of Environmental Awareness on Willingness to Pay for Waste to Energy

This research aims to determine the role of Social Acceptance as a mediator variable on the influence of Environmental Awareness on Willingness to Pay for Waste to Energy. Participants in this research were the general public aged over 16 years. A total of 200 respondents were obtained through convenience sampling techniques. The measuring instruments used in this research are the social acceptance scale (SAS), environmental awareness scale (EAS), and willingness to pay scale (WTPS). The analysis technique used in this research uses the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and path analysis tests. The results of this study show that social acceptance of waste to energy cannot play a significant role as a mediator in the relationship between environmental awareness and willingness to pay for waste to energy. Other findings in this research are that environmental awareness has a significant direct effect on social acceptance of waste to energy, environmental awareness directly affects willingness to pay for waste to energy, and social acceptance of waste to energy does not affect willingness to pay for waste to energy. Suggestions for further research could deepen further into what factors can influence the willingness to pay for waste to energy.

Educational Experiences of the B’laan Tribe: Identifying Culturally Responsive and Contextual Factors in Learning

The study sought to determine the current learning experiences and conditions of B’laan tribe and identify factors associated with human capital development for B’laan tribe. Qualitative approaches were utilized in the first phase of the study. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and Key Informant Interviews (KII) were conducted to selected participants coming from the B’laan tribal chieftain (Fulong), representative from Barangay Council, representative from the Non-Government Organizations, and ordinary B’laan people from the community. Moreover, quantitative approaches were also used in this study in order to determine the factors derived from the qualitative data. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to establish the factors. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using latent curve analysis of structural equation modeling was also utilized to confirm the validity of these dimensions as determinants of human capital development framework for B’laan tribe. The analysis uncovered a robust framework for human capital development for the B’laan tribe in education, noted with good fit indices. Further, model trimming exposed that two significant factors persist, hence appreciating that certain types of education like contextualized education and eco-based education are quite critical, yet not all that the B’laan desire. Results revealed themes centering on the current learning experiences and conditions of B’laan tribe through the curriculum implemented by the Department of Education is not culture sensitive. Peace and security were one of the factors that impeded education. The EFA revealed dimensions linked to human capital development framework for B’laan tribe which included free education, community resource- based education, contextualize-based education, human security-based education, right-based education, voice-based education, culture-based education, indigenous knowledge-based education, eco-based education, and sustainable education. All these factors were confirmed by CFA to constitute a valid framework of human capital development for B’laan tribe in the context of education.

The road less travelled: An exploratory study of the association between top management team dissimilarity and innovation capability

Abstract This study extends the upper echelons literature by shedding light on the role of top management team (TMT) dissimilarity, a specific conceptualization of team diversity. TMTs are typically composed of members from different functional areas who have unique information and values. The perception of the degree to which TMT members view themselves as dissimilar from other team members affects the TMT’s decision-making and, therefore, organizational outcomes. However, research does not address this perspective of TMT diversity. We examine how informational and value dissimilarity among TMT members is associated with incremental and radical innovation capability. We survey top managers from various industries and use partial least squares structural equation modeling analysis to explore the association between TMT dissimilarity and innovation capability empirically. The findings show that informational dissimilarity is positively associated with incremental innovation capability. Value dissimilarity is negatively associated with incremental innovation capability, whereas it is positively associated with radical innovation capability.

Response of Long-Term Water and Phosphorus of Wheat to Soil Microorganisms

Phosphorus deficiency critically constrains crop growth. Soil microbial diversity, which is crucial for maintaining terrestrial ecosystem integrity, plays a key role in promoting soil P cycling. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the survival strategies of microorganisms under P-limited conditions and explore their roles in community regulation. We initiated a comprehensive, long-term, in situ wheat field experiment to measure soil physicochemical properties, focusing on the different forms of soil inorganic P. Subsequently, 16S rRNA and ITS marker sequencing was employed to study changes in soil microbial abundance and community structure and predict functional alterations. The results showed that soil water and P deficiencies significantly affected wheat growth and development, soil physicochemical properties, and microbial diversity and function. Prolonged P deficiency lowered soil pH, significantly increasing phosphatase content (58%) under W1 (normal irrigation) conditions. Divalent calcium phosphate decreased significantly under W0 (lack of irrigation) and W1 conditions, and the most stable ten-valent calcium phosphate began to transform under W0 conditions. Soil microbial diversity increased (e.g., Proteobacteria and Vicinamibacterales) and enhanced the transport capacity of bacteria. P deficiency affected the coexistence networks between bacteria and fungi, and SEM (structural equation modeling) analysis revealed a stronger correlation in bacteria (r2 = 0.234) than in fungi (r2 = 0.172). In soils deprived of P for 7 years, the soil P content and forms were coupled with microbial changes. Microorganisms exhibited community and functional changes in response to low-phosphorus soil, concurrently influencing soil P status. This study enhances our understanding of rhizospheric processes in soil P cycling under microbial feedback, particularly the impact of microbial interactions on changes in soil P forms under P-limited conditions.

During the Covid-19 period, academics have given great importance to the concept of teleworking. However, despite this interest, empirical studies investigating the effect of workplace isolation on employees' behavior during Covid-19 are limited. This study aims to investigate the relationship between workplace isolation and psychological well-being in light of the mediating role of perceived organizational support and the moderating role of job insecurity. Within the scope of the research, teleworkers in accordance with the isolation rules was used as a criterion for the selection of the participants. In this vein, data collected from 382 respondents were investigated using structural equation modelling analysis. The results indicate that (1) workplace isolation positively relate to perceived organizational support and negatively related to psychological well-being, (2) perceived organizational support positively relate to psychological wellbeing, (3) perceived organizational support mediates the relationship between workplace isolation and psychological well-being, and (4) job insecurity moderates the relationship between perceived organizational support and psychological well-being. It is imperative to understand telework employees' psychological and emotional processes, which have gained speed in the last year, in adapting to the new order. This study is critical in understanding the psychological processes of teleworkers.

Interns' and Junior Nurses' Workplace-Violence Perceptions, Coping Confidence and Attitudes Towards Violence Management: A Structural Equation Model Analysis.

To investigate interns' and junior nurses' perceptions, coping confidence and attitudes towards workplace violence in China. Cross-sectional survey study involving 622 interns or nurses with < 5 years of hospital experience. Data were gathered from the largest tertiary hospital in southwestern mainland China using a general information questionnaire, the Perception of Aggression Scale, the Confidence in Coping with Patient Aggression Instrument and the Management of Aggressive and Violence Attitude Scale. Structural equation modelling was used to understand relationships and pathways between the nurses' perceptions of, confidence in dealing with and attitudes towards managing workplace violence. The average scores for the perception of workplace violence, confidence in coping with workplace violence and attitudes towards violence management were 37.44 (±11.60), 29.84 (±8.23) and 81.87 (±23.72), respectively. Perceptions of workplace violence, confidence in coping with workplace violence and attitudes towards violence management show low to moderate correlations; confidence in coping with workplace violence was the mediating variable in the interactions among the three variables. Interns and junior nurses have weaker perceptions of workplace violence, lower confidence in their ability to cope with violence and more negative attitudes towards violence management. Perceptions of workplace violence affected attitudes towards violence management through the intermediary role of confidence in coping with workplace violence. Nursing managers should increase education and training to improve interns' and junior nurses' awareness and confidence in dealing with workplace violence. Healthcare organisations should prevent and manage workplace violence to develop nurses' positive attitudes towards violence management. The study adhered to the STROBE checklist of cross-sectional studies. Interns and nurses with < 5 years of experience participated by voluntarily completing a paper questionnaire.
