The reliability and validity of the scale items were rigorously assessed, and the data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings reveal the direct effects of strategic leadership and knowledge management on change management, with knowledge management partially mediating the relationship between strategic leadership and change management. The study addresses a significant gap in the literature by shedding light on how strategic leadership drives change in public organizations. Its interdisciplinary approach and examination of mediation offer original insights, paving the way for future studies on challenges within public service contexts. Recommendations underscore the importance of considering local context, embracing adaptive leadership, and integrating knowledge processes for effective change management in public organizations.

Disembedding and Disentangling Grassland Valuation: Insights into Grassland Management Institutions and Ecological Research in China

After two decades of implementing top-down grassland restoration projects focused on reducing livestock numbers and pastoralist populations, the Chinese government’s well-funded efforts have not significantly reversed grassland degradation. This study reviews the institutional changes in grassland management over the past forty years, highlighting the Livestock and Grassland Double Contract Household Responsibility System of the early 1980s and the Grassland Ecological Reward and Compensation Policy introduced in 2011. It demonstrates how these institutional transformations have shaped pastoralists’ evolving understanding of grassland value and reveals that commodifying grassland’s economic and ecological value has led to the capitalization of nature, disembedding husbandry from grassland production, and undermining the effectiveness of conservation projects. This article also showcases the development of grassland ecology research in China, noting its increasing detachment from a holistic understanding of ecosystems and the interdisciplinary needs of management practices. The disjunction between grassland ecology research and practical management has resulted in a lack of techniques aligned with local ecological and socioeconomic contexts. This article champions active engagement with and protection of pastoralist communities to reintegrate grasslands’ true economic and ecological value into management practices, thereby effectively restoring degraded grasslands and achieving sustainable management.

Home-office implementation: challenges and changes in people management

PurposeThis paper investigates how organisations responded to the home office imposition during the recent global health crisis and its impacts on people management, detailing the organisational factors crucial for effective home-office implementation.Design/methodology/approachWe used an exploratory design based on a multiple case study with four companies from two contrasting sectors (manufacturing and information technology (IT)). We interviewed a total of 12 managers, including one HR manager (HRms) and two team managers from each company. We also conducted an online questionnaire with open questions, reaching out to 128 home-office workers from the four participating companies. This diverse group consisted of 67 workers from the IT sector and 61 workers from the manufacturing sector. To ensure a comprehensive analysis, we opted for a qualitative approach to examine the data.FindingsFindings enabled detail of the organisational factor of the Belzunegui-Eraso and Erro-Garcés (2020) extended Baruch and Nicholson’s (1997) model into people management issues: organisational culture, team management and human resources management (HRM) practices, as well as the technological support. The results also revealed that people management benefits from the successful home-office implementation, which boosted the digitalisation of human resources (HR) processes.Originality/valueConsidering the lessons learned from the home-office imposition, this research provides original insights into the field by exploring the roles of supervisors and HR managers, in non-health organisations, with different previous remote work experiences, in a recent global disruptive moment, based on a rich qualitative approach. The paper offers concrete guidelines for companies that intend to implement remote work management programs and contributes to deepen the knowledge of home-office experience, offering a model focusing on managers’ roles (HRms and TMs) and HRM practices.

Treatment Trends and Epidemiologic Changes in Acetabular Fracture Management over the Course of 10 Years: An Analysis Based on 2853 Patients as Treated by the German Pelvic Multicenter Study Group

Background/Objectives: Acetabular fractures, traditionally linked to high-impact trauma in younger adults, are increasingly observed in the elderly due to falls and poor bone quality. This demographic shift necessitates updated treatment approaches. This study analyzes demographic trends and treatment evolution over a decade using the German pelvic fracture registry. Methods: Data on acetabular fractures were analyzed from the German pelvic fracture registry of the German Trauma Society. Parameters included classification, demographics, treatment methods, and surgical details. Trends were assessed by grouping patients based on treatment intervals and age, comparing treatment methods, surgical approaches, and reduction quality across these groups, considering fracture types and treatment volume. Results: The study included 2853 unilateral acetabular fractures with a mean patient age of 61.5 years, showing an increasing age trend. A shift from simple to complex fractures involving the anterior acetabular column was observed. Operative treatment was performed in 62.5% of cases, more common in non-geriatric patients and those with posterior column involvement. The use of anterior intrapelvic approaches increased over time, replacing the Ilioinguinal extrapelvic approach. Anatomical reduction was achieved in 47.4% of cases, with 31.7% having imperfect reductions and 20.9% poor reductions. High-volume centers had significantly better reduction outcomes, particularly for simple fractures. Geriatric patients exhibited worse reduction quality compared to younger patients. In-hospital mortality was stable at 3.3%. Conclusions: The study highlights a demographic shift towards an older patient population, leading to more complex fracture patterns. Despite advancements in surgical techniques and new implant technologies, these demographic changes have resulted in lower reduction quality for complex fractures. Emphasis is placed on careful patient selection for reconstructive surgery or endoprosthetic replacement to ensure high-quality outcomes.

Understanding Local Perspectives on Climate Change and Its Impacts on Small-Scale Fishing Communities in Honda Bay, Palawan, Philippines

Climate change's adverse impacts are already evident, particularly in coastal areas. However, local perception that is essential in formulating policies for mitigating its impacts remains limited. Thus, this study evaluated the level of perception of small fishing communities on climate change and its impacts on livelihood and the environment. The data were obtained using a face-to-face survey with the aid of a structured questionnaire. They were interpreted and analyzed using the Likert point scale, descriptive statistics, and chi-square. A total of 308 male fisherfolks participated in the survey. Majority belong to age 51-60 years old (38%) and 61 years old and above (32%). Most of them (65%) finished elementary and generally (94%) rely on fishing for main source of living. As for income, 47% earned an estimated monthly income of Php 2,501-5,000 and 28% got Php 5,001-7,500. Most of the respondents are full-time fishers (89%) for more than 11 years (87%), and fishing within the municipal water (92%). Majority (90%) have an idea about climate change as reflected by their very high score in Likert Perception (24.3±2.3%). The climate change impacts perceived by the respondents include: increasing sea surface temperature (87%); fish are sensitive to changing climate (87%); and fossil fuel consumption contributes to climate change (84%). They said they got the information from TV/ Radio (99%) and social media (10%). The age (p-value < 0.0032) and source of information (p-value < 0.0348) are among the variables with significant relationship to the perception of respondents on climate change impacts. In total, it appears that majority of fishers are aware of the impacts of climates. It is suggested that effective management actions, such as emergency preparedness schemes and livelihood diversification should be explored to address the specific needs of fishing communities that are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Furthermore, an ecosystem-based approach that focuses on socio-economic dynamics and climate-induced changes in assessments and management is essential for the sustainable use of fisheries resources amidst the changing climate.

Adaptive interventions for advancing in situ wildlife disease management.

There is a critical need for advancements in disease management strategies for wildlife, but free-living animals pose numerous challenges that can hinder progress. Most disease management attempts involve fixed interventions accompanied by post hoc outcome assessments focused on success or failure. Though these approaches have led to valuable management advances, there are limitations to both the rate of advancement and amount of information that can be gained. As such, strategies that support more rapid progress are required. Sarcoptic mange, caused by epidermal infection with Sarcoptes scabiei mites, is a globally emerging and re-emerging panzootic that exemplifies this problem. The bare-nosed wombat (Vombatus ursinus), a marsupial endemic to southeastern Australia, is impacted by sarcoptic mange throughout its geographic range and enhanced disease management capabilities are needed to improve upon existing in situ methods. We sought to advance in situ wildlife disease management for sarcoptic mange in free-living bare-nosed wombats, implementing an adaptive approach using fluralaner (Bravecto, MSD Animal Health) and a structured process of learning and method-optimisation. By using surveillance of treated wombats to inform real-time management changes, we have demonstrated the efficacy of topically administered fluralaner at 45 and 85 mg/kg against sarcoptic mange. Importantly, we observed variation in the effects of 45 mg/kg doses, but through our adaptive approach found that 85 mg/kg doses consistently reduced mange severity. Through modifying our surveillance program, we also identified individual-level variation in wombat observability and used this to quantify the level of surveillance needed to assess long-term management success. Our adaptive intervention represents the first report of sarcoptic mange management with fluralaner in free-living wildlife and evaluation of its efficacy in situ. This study illustrates how adapting interventions in real time can advance wildlife disease management and may be applicable to accelerating in situ improvements for other host-pathogen systems.

The Interrelation between Obesity Management and Climate Change in Greece

Two major global problems of our era are climate change and obesity. Both are interlinked and interconnected having undesired social, economic, environmental impacts as well as harmful impacts on human health. The rate of obesity and overweight in children and adults in Greece is high compared to other EU countries causing many health, social and economic problems. Climate change is foreseen to have severe and harmful impacts in Greece as well as in other Mediterranean countries altering the climate conditions. Obesity and its treatment mitigate climate change, mainly due to the change in the dietary pattern of the treated patients. The proposed diets for managing obesity, based on Mediterranean dietary patterns, have less GHG emissions and lower climate footprint. Climate change makes more difficult the treatment of obesity, mainly due to the rising temperatures. Climate change has undesired and harmful impacts on obesity treatment in Greece while obesity treatment results in the mitigation of climate change in the country. Future policies for climate change mitigation and managing obesity in Greece should take into account their mutual interconnections and interlinkages in order to maximize their effectiveness in treating these two severe pandemics in the country.

Tipping points and farmer decision-making in European permanent grassland (PG) agricultural systems

Permanent grasslands (PG) provide multifunctional ecosystem services (ES) in Europe and globally, which are threatened by both increased farming intensity and land use change in marginal areas. Farm management decisions can represent critical thresholds, or behavioural “tipping points”, in the agricultural system. Decisions are influenced by a combination of agronomic, policy and social factors. Transformation of PG systems can be facilitated through positive tipping points and relevant policy implementation to ensure sustainable PG systems. The aim of this research was to understand the drivers of decisions regarding land use changes and management towards critical positive and negative tipping points across five biogeographic zones in Europe. Interview methodology assessed farmers’ preferences and priorities regarding the adoption of sustainable PG systems. Participants were selected from five case study countries, each representing a different biogeographic zone in Europe (Continental/Pannonian: Czech Republic, Boreal: Sweden, Mediterranean: Spain, Alpine: Switzerland, and Atlantic: UK). The sample also covered three farming intensity types within these biogeographic zones: high input/intensive conventional farms (≥1.0 LU/ha); low input/extensive conventional farms (<1.0 LU/ha); and certified organic farms. In total, 373 farm interviews were obtained from the case study countries between October 2020 and October 2021. The analysis focuses on drivers of change and considers tipping points across these countries, considering case studies of land use changes (specifically land abandonment) and land management practices (specifically changes in stocking rates). The most common reasons for PG management changes towards either intensification or extensification were economic. Farmers require policy support to increase provision of non-market ES, while rebalancing subsidies can deliver environmental ES at scale through abandonment (e.g., through the creation of specific habitats that support some threatened species). Agri-environment schemes (AES)and subsidies could be more flexible to allow farmers to better adapt grassland management to local production conditions and unpredictable circumstances such as droughts, floods, or market shocks. To maintain PG that delivers more goods and services, financial compensation for ES delivery was perceived to be the most significant support mechanism needed, while easier access to ES provision expertise through extension or consultancy services is considered important factor.

The relationship of perceived nurse manager competence with job satisfaction and turnover intention among clinical nurses: an analytical cross-sectional study

BackgroundNursing managers have the potential to significantly impact the outcomes of nurses, patients, and organizations. Their competencies for effective performance are crucial. The global nursing workforce is facing a severe shortage of nurses. Dissatisfaction with management is one of the most important reasons for nurses’ inclination to leave their jobs. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between nursing managers’ competencies, job satisfaction and intention to leave among clinical nurses.MethodsAn analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 354 nurses in five hospitals affiliated with Ardabil University of Medical Sciences from May to August 2023. This research used web-based software to design demographic information forms, nurse manager competency scale, turnover intention, and single-item job satisfaction questionnaires. The significance level for the study was set at p < 0.05.ResultsThis study revealed that participants had an average score of 3.06 out of 5 in perceived nurse manager competence. Only one-fourth of the participants (25.7%) were satisfied with their current job, and less than half (46.9%) intended to leave. Employee support and development, change and resource management, supervision and quality monitoring, and personal mastery positively influenced nurses’ job satisfaction. These competencies hurt employees’ intention to leave their jobs.ConclusionsThe research findings indicate that nursing managers in Iran have lower competency than in previous studies. Developing and strengthening these competencies is very important, as it significantly improves job satisfaction and reduces nurses’ tendency to leave their jobs. Additionally, the results show that nursing managers who excel in supporting and developing staff, resource management, quality supervision, and personal mastery positively impact nurses’ job satisfaction. However, these competencies can also help reduce employees’ intention to leave their jobs. Retaining and maintaining nurses in the healthcare field is of utmost importance.

Evaluating machine learning models for precipitation prediction in Casablanca City

Accurate precipitation forecasting is a vital task for many domains, such as agriculture, water management, flood prevention, and crop yield estimation. The use of machine learning (ML) approaches has improved precipitation forecasting accuracy, exhibiting promising results in capturing the intricate connections between various meteorological variables and precipitation patterns. However, given the vast array of available ML models, a comparative analysis is imperative for identifying the most effective models for precipitation prediction. This study aims to examine the capacities of ML algorithms to forecast precipitation based on weather data for the city of Casablanca, Morocco, which faces challenges in water management and climate change adaptation. Eight different ML models’ performances are compared: linear regression, polynomial regression, K-nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), XGBoost, and an ensemble learning model. These models are evaluated based on their mean absolute error (MAE), mean squared error (MSE), and R-squared (R2 ) value to determine their effectiveness. The study showcases the potential of ML models in predicting precipitation by utilizing meteorological parameters such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and pressure.

The use of conceptual ecological models to identify critical data and uncertainties to support numerical modeling: The northern Gulf of Mexico eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica example

AbstractObjectiveIncreasing reliance on numerical simulation models to help inform management and restoration choices benefits from careful consideration of critical early steps in model development. Along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico, the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica fulfills important ecological and economic roles. Using the eastern oyster as an example, we draw on several recent frameworks outlining best practices for model development and application for restoration, conservation, and management.MethodsWe identify priority model questions, outline a conceptual ecological model (CEM) to guide numerical model development, and use this framework to identify uncertainties and research needs.ResultThe CEM uses a nested design, identifying explicit vital rates, processes, attributes, and outcomes for the species (oysters), population, and metapopulation (i.e., network of populations) levels in response to drivers of species, population, and metapopulation changes and changing environmental factors. Most management actions related to oyster restoration and harvest affect population attributes directly, but many coastal management actions and changes (i.e., climate change and coastal and water resource engineering) impact environmental factors that alter vital rates and attributes of oysters, populations, and metapopulations.ConclusionInvestment in studies targeting individual oyster‐ and population‐level multi‐stressor responses (filtration, respiration, growth, and reproduction) and improving hydrodynamic and environmental models targeting drivers that influence metapopulation vital rates and attributes (i.e., connectivity and substrate persistence) would contribute to reducing uncertainties. Development of numerical models covering the entire oyster life cycle and connectivity of populations using hydrodynamic models of current and predicted conditions to provide key abiotic and biotic factors influencing larval movement, recruitment, and on‐reef oyster vital rates would assist in balancing the goals of conservation, restoration, and fisheries management of this foundational estuarine species.

Improving high uncertainty of evapotranspiration products under extreme climatic conditions based on deep learning and ERA5 reanalysis data

Accurate quantification of Terrestrial Evapotranspiration (ET) is crucial for understanding global water resource management amid climate change. However, against the backdrop of frequent global extreme climate events, existing ET products don’t accurately reflect ground data under extreme climate conditions (high temperature and high vapor pressure deficit (VPD)) and no studies have addressed this uncertainty. This study, based on data from 150 flux towers (FLUXNET ET), utilizes four daily-scale ET product datasets (REA, GLEAMv3.6b, REA, ERA5) and ERA5 reanalysis meteorological data as inputs for Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), to explore ways to improve the accuracy of ET products under extreme climatic conditions, while three Machine Learning (ML) models were selected as comparisons. An additional 35 nearby sites provide independent validation for model applicability. The results show that the estimation accuracy of ET products under extreme climatic conditions has an average decrease of 37.5 % in the correlation coefficient (R2) and an average increase of 40 % in the root-mean-square-error (RMSE), whereas the CNN significantly improves this high uncertainty and outperforms the other ML models. The accuracy was significantly improved with the addition of ET products (R2 = 0.924, RMSE=0.323 mm/d) compared to having only meteorological data as input (R2 = 0.888, RMSE=0.369 mm/d). Under extreme climatic conditions, the R2 and RMSE of CNN are 0.786 (171.6 % average improvement) and 0.448 (65.4 % average reduction) compared to ET products, with PBias ranging from −9% to 9 % and the most significant improvement in the America (region), EBF (land cover type), and Cwa (climate type). Furthermore, using ET products as inputs significantly enhances the CNN’s estimation accuracy, yielding R2 and RMSE improvements between 10 % and 30 %. At the 35 independent validation sites, the CNN still performs well, with R2 and RMSE around 0.720 and 0.510 mm/d under extreme climatic conditions, and the accuracy within 500 km is even higher. This study enhances model precision, providing a valuable tool for optimizing water management and tackling climate change. These advancements help formulate precise irrigation strategies and water policies, particularly in extreme weather-prone regions, supporting ecological stability and mitigating water scarcity.

Managers in the context of small business growth: a qualitative study of working conditions and wellbeing

PurposeIn view of the importance of managers’ wellbeing for their leadership behaviour, employee health, and business effectiveness and survival, a better understanding of managers’ wellbeing and working conditions is important for creating healthy and sustainable businesses. Previous research has mostly provided a static picture of managers’ wellbeing and work in the context of small businesses, missing the variability and dynamism that is characteristic of this context. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore how managers in small companies perceive their working conditions and wellbeing in the context of business growth.MethodsThe study is based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with 20 managers from twelve small companies. Content and thematic analysis were applied.ResultsThe findings indicate that a manager’s working environment evolves from its initial stages and through the company’s growth, leading to variations over time in the manager’s experiences of wellbeing and work–life balance as well as changes in job demands and resources. Managers’ working situation becomes less demanding and more manageable when workloads and working hours are reduced and a better work–life balance is achieved. The perceived improvement is related to changes in organizational factors (e.g. company resources), but also to individual factors (e.g. managers’ increased awareness of the importance of a sustainable work situation). However, there were differences in how the working conditions and wellbeing changed over time and how organizational and individual resources affected the studied managers’ wellbeing.ConclusionsThis study shows that, in the context of small business, managers’ working conditions and wellbeing are dynamic and are linked to growth-related changes that occur from the start of organizational activities and during periods of growth. In addition, the findings suggest that changes in managers’ working conditions and wellbeing follow different trajectories over time because of the interaction between organizational and personal factors.

Purpose: The general objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in knowledge management. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the effectiveness of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in knowledge management. Preliminary empirical review revealed that ERP systems significantly enhanced knowledge management by integrating business processes, eliminating data silos, and improving decision-making and operational efficiency. Success depended on factors like organizational culture, top management support, and user training. ERP systems facilitated continuous improvement and innovation by providing real-time data access, enabling swift responses to market changes. Despite challenges like high costs and resistance to change, these could be mitigated through careful planning, strategic alignment, and effective change management, making the investment in ERP systems worthwhile for improved KM and organizational performance. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Resource-Based View (RBV) Theory, Socio-Technical Systems (STS) Theory and Knowledge-Based View (KBV) Theory may be used to anchor future studies on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. The study recommended integrating ERP systems into KM frameworks to enhance theoretical models, emphasizing strategic alignment and continuous user engagement for practical implementation. It advised organizations to develop policies prioritizing ERP and KM alignment, foster knowledge-sharing cultures, and implement robust change management strategies. Continuous improvement and innovation were highlighted, with recommendations for regular system evaluation and incorporation of technological advancements. Long-term strategic planning was also emphasized, including comprehensive plans for ERP implementation, maintenance, and alignment with organizational goals to maximize the effectiveness of ERP systems in knowledge management.

Moderating Effect of Accessary Environment on Teachers’ Administrative Proficiency and Instructional Experiences in Talomo District, Davao City

Elementary teachers face multifaceted challenges daily, including the need to master content and pedagogy, address diverse student needs, and manage classroom climate and behavior. Additionally, they must keep pace with growing classroom diversity and adapt to various learning needs. Developing teachers' administrative proficiency, which involves strategic planning, problem-solving, and change management, is essential for improving instructional experiences. This study investigates the moderating effect of an accessary environment—an environment that promotes self-discovery and group connection—on the relationship between teachers' administrative proficiency and instructional experiences in Talomo District, Davao City. Using a non-experimental quantitative design and descriptive correlation technique, the study surveyed 175 elementary school teachers. Findings revealed that administrative proficiency significantly correlates with instructional experiences and the accessary environment. Furthermore, the accessary environment moderates the interaction between administrative proficiency and instructional experiences, accounting for an additional 8.40% variance in instructional experiences. The study underscores the need for supportive policies and effective communication between school administrators and teachers to enhance educational practices and teacher engagement.
