The nonlinear relationship between managerial ability and bank liquidity creation in the MENA region: Does institutional quality matter?
Authors: Zaiane Sedki 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the nonlinear relationship between managerial ability and bank liquidity creation and to investigate the role of institutional quality in shaping the managerial ability–liquidity creation nexus.Design/methodology/approachThis study is based on a sample of 126 MENA region banks for the period extending from 2006 to 2020. We apply a dynamic panel threshold method to examine the nonlinearity.FindingsThe results reveal that the relationship between managerial ability and liquidity creation is nonlinear and depends on the level of managerial ability. Moreover, using different indicators of institutional quality, the results reveal that the impact of the managerial ability on liquidity creation depends on the institutional quality. More specifically, we find that the impact of managerial ability depends on the level and type of the institution quality indicator.Research limitations/implicationsThe nonlinearity between managerial ability and bank liquidity creation shows that the level of managerial ability as well as institutional quality can be a major determinant of the bank liquidity creation.Originality/valueThis paper gives a more complete and detailed image on the relationship between institutional quality, managerial ability and bank liquidity creation using a nonlinear methodology, which extends to the current literature’s insight.
Readiness for artificial intelligence adoption by auditors in emerging countries – a PLS-SEM analysis of Moroccan firms
Authors: Benhayoun Issam , Bougrine Salma , Sassioui Aimad 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
The aim of this study is to investigate the factors that influence the readiness to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) tools within Moroccan auditing firms.

Design/methodology/approach
A quantitative research design was used, using survey data to examine the influence of perceived usefulness (PU), ease of use (EU) and top management commitment (TMC) on AI adoption readiness (AIAR) in auditing. A conceptual model, drawing from the technology acceptance model (TAM) and supported by findings from previous literature, was proposed. The model was tested using partial least squares – structural equation modelling on data collected from 116 Moroccan respondents.

Findings
The study confirmed that PU and TMC do not significantly influence the AIAR in auditing in Morocco, whereas EU is positively and significantly associated to the AIAR.

Research limitations/implications
The study presents findings based on data from a single country, which may limit the broader applicability of the results to other contexts or regions with different regulatory, cultural or economic environments.

Practical implications
The results suggest that TAM is not necessarily adapted to AI adoption within an emerging context like Morocco. The significant role of EU in AIAR suggests that Moroccan firms should prioritize the development and integration of AI tools that are intuitive and user-friendly. AI should be presented not only as a tool for enhancing audit quality but also as a means of reducing workload and improving efficiency. Furthermore, rather than relying solely on top-down mandates, a more decentralized approach to AI adoption could be effective, where individual auditors are empowered to experiment with AI tools and integrate them into their practices. This approach could foster a culture of innovation and gradual adoption, increasing the likelihood of successful AI integration within Moroccan auditing firms.

Social implications
AI adoption in auditing can promote societal benefits by enhancing transparency, accountability and trust in both public and private sectors. In countries like Morocco, where financial transparency is lacking but vital for stability, AI can help reduce corruption, improve decision-making and foster public trust, ultimately supporting investment and social equity.

Originality/value
This paper offers an original contribution by examining AIAR in Morocco’s auditing sector, focusing on an emerging market and African context. Unlike studies in developed countries, it highlights the unique challenges and opportunities faced by Moroccan auditors, considering factors like PU, EU and TMC. It challenges organizations to assess their readiness and the ability of their employees to effectively integrate AI into their workflows.
The exploration of natural capital on the balance sheet: a case study of a water utility company
Authors: Pelletier Marie-Chantale , Horner Claire , Vickers Mathew , Gul Aliya , Turak Eren , Turner Christine 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of natural capital accounting for the purpose of strengthening sustainability claims by reporting entities. The study showed how riparian land improvement influenced ecosystem services which could be measured in the context of financial reporting. The authors tested options for incorporating natural capital concepts into financial accounting practices under existing accounting standards specifically: on the balance sheet.

Design/methodology/approach
A case study approach was used with an Australian water utility that has accountabilities to protect the environment, including maintaining and enhancing riparian land assets. The authors examined internal data sources, stakeholder engagement outcomes, physical assets, monetary valuation processes and financial recognition of natural capital income and assets. Natural capital income was estimated by process-based ecological modelling and ecosystem services were valued in relation to stormwater filtration and carbon storage using data from both internal and external sources.

Findings
The authors demonstrated how an environmental agency can disclose natural capital as a class of assets on the balance sheet. The authors also found that current accounting standards allow the recognition of some types of environmental assets where ecosystem services were associated with cost savings. The proof-of-concept used for asset measurement through ecosystem service modelling proved useful to strengthen sustainability claims or report financial returns on natural capital investment.

Originality/value
While many studies have examined environmental disclosures in voluntary reports, this study established that natural assets can be included on the balance sheet of financial statements, offering a robust approach to measuring and reporting on natural capital. It did so by applying financial accounting processes and principles to a real-world natural capital management scenario with direct participation and cooperation between the asset manager, academic researchers and a government environment agency, bridging the gap between theory and practice.
Dynamic behavior and strain rate sensitivity of lower-extremity metallic lattice bone implants fabricated by additive manufacturing: a focus on damping
Authors: Ghadami-Badrlou Siamak , Khajehzadeh Mohsen , Razfar Mohammad Reza 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
This paper aims to study the elasto-dynamic behavior of additively manufactured metallic lattice implants and compare them with human lower-body bone. This work is a step toward producing implants with high similarity of material properties to bone by developing a dynamic design approach.

Design/methodology/approach
A suitable topology was selected and admissible design space was established. Implants were fabricated by selective laser melting. Material dynamics, including elastic modulus, damping and natural frequency, were analyzed with experimental and finite element method methodology.

Findings
Generally, porosity improves dynamic properties up to an optimum point, which depends on printability, that is, ∼70%. Regarding elastic modulus and natural frequency, it is possible to achieve enough similarity with bone. But, considering damping, the similarity is <23% and <12% with dry and fresh bone, respectively. Damping and strain rate sensitivity increase with porosity. The natural frequency decreases with porosity. Bone ingrowth into lattice implants improves damping substantially while increasing elastic modulus.

Originality/value
Designers, dominantly had quasi-static approach, which considered only elastic modulus. But, the human body is a dynamic structure and experiences dynamic loads; meanwhile, bone, with its damping and natural frequency, regulates dynamic events like shock absorption and elastic wave filtering. Importantly, bone cells sense no load in quasi-static loading and must receive impact loads near their natural frequencies and special accelerations to conduct optimum mechanotransduction. So, it is necessary to develop a dynamic strategy which is comprehensive and describes bone duties.

Abstract

Recent extreme drought events in Central Europe have caused widespread forest dieback with detrimental effects on forest functioning and carbon and water balance. This impact has been notable on European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), particularly at the core of its distribution, causing concern among forest stakeholders and questions about the resilience capacity of beech trees. The objective of this study is to investigate the physiological processes linked to water and carbon constraints involved in the resilience of beech cambial growth to drought.

We selected 56 beech trees distributed in four plots in north‐eastern France with different soil water deficits characterized retrospectively by a water balance model. Functional traits including tree ring width, wood anatomical traits and stable isotopes (e.g. δ13C and δ18O) were measured to retrospectively assess the effect of recent recurrent drought in 2015, 2018–2020, and 2022.

Decreased tree growth and increased δ18O and intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) were observed due to soil water shortage, whereas xylem vessel size and theoretical specific xylem hydraulic conductivity (Kth) did not show obvious changes. Vessel density was negatively correlated with annual ring width index and was highly sensitive to drought. δ13C, δ18O and iWUE were not significantly related to tree ring width index. The plot that experienced the most severe drought intensity in 2018–2020 showed a significant decrease in tree growth resistance and resilience compared to its resistance and resilience during the 2015 drought event. Surprisingly, growth resilience was not associated with tree anatomical and isotopic traits.

Synthesis. Our results demonstrate that beech xylem structure responds to drought by adjusting the radial growth of tree rings with a relatively stable vessel diameter. Our study also highlights the impact of consecutive or recurrent drought in reducing beech tree resistance and resilience, particularly at sites with higher drought intensity. Tree resilience does not seem to involve changes in traits that would promote the hydraulic functioning to better cope with future soil water shortages.

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo examine the characteristics, satisfaction levels and clinical outcomes of rural and remote Australians with chronic pain completing an internet‐delivered psychological pain management program (PMP).DesignLongitudinal routine care cohort study.SettingAn Australian national digital psychology service.ParticipantsPatients in inner regional locations (n = 401), outer regional and remote locations (n = 198), and major cities (n = 968), who used the service over a 6‐year period.Main Outcome MeasuresDemographic and clinical data, patient‐reported satisfaction and improvements, and meaningful clinical improvements (≥ 30% improvement).ResultsClinical improvements were observed from pre‐treatment to post‐treatment in pain‐related disability (32% [95% CI: 29, 34]), depression symptoms (44% [95% CI: 39, 49]), anxiety symptoms (43% [95% CI: 39, 47]), and average pain intensity (23% [95% CI: 21, 26]), which were maintained to 3‐month follow‐up. High levels of satisfaction and treatment completion were also observed. Minor demographic and clinical differences were observed. However, there were similar rates of clinical improvement, treatment satisfaction and treatment completion in all groups.ConclusionsThe current findings further highlight the value of internet‐delivered psychological PMPs for Australians with chronic pain living in regional and remote parts of the country. Further work is needed to raise awareness about the availability of these effective programmes and to integrate their use with traditional pain management services.
Proinflammatory cytokines and neuropeptides in psoriasis, depression, and anxiety
Authors: Keenan Emily L. , Granstein Richard D. 
Published: February 2025

AbstractPsoriasis vulgaris has established associations with psychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety, and chronic stress. This review aims to evaluate current theories and evidence regarding the role of proinflammatory cytokines and neuropeptides in connecting systemic inflammation, psychological stress, and inflammatory skin diseases, namely psoriasis. A literature review was conducted to analyze studies that explore the connections between psoriasis, psychiatric conditions, and biological mediators, including inflammatory cytokines [interferon (IFN)‐γ, interleukin (IL)‐1, IL‐2, IL‐6, IL‐12, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐α, IL‐22, IL‐17], neuropeptides [calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP), and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)], as well as the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. Existing literature indicates that psychiatric state can influence cutaneous conditions through immune, neural, and endocrine mediators. The elevated rates of anxiety and depression observed in psoriasis patients are likely due to both the inflammatory process itself and the chronic stress associated with disease management, highlighting the importance of managing stress, and addressing mental health to improve clinical outcomes. While the literature suggests proinflammatory cytokines and neuropeptides may be key links between systemic inflammation, psoriasis, and psychiatric comorbidities, further research is necessary to continue to elucidate physiological mechanisms and explore the potential for new treatment modalities.

Published: February 2025

AbstractBackgroundAdolescent siblings of children and young people (CYP) with cancer are at increased risk of psychosocial difficulties, yet many remain overlooked and unsupported. This project aimed to explore the experiences and perceived needs of adolescent siblings of paediatric oncology inpatients to inform service improvement recommendations for sibling support.MethodsSemi‐structured interviews were conducted with 10 siblings of CYP previously admitted to a paediatric oncology ward. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings were reviewed in consultation with staff and used to identify pragmatic/feasible recommendations for improving sibling support, organized using the three‐tier ‘Pediatric Psychosocial Preventative Health Model’ (PPPHM; Families, Systems & Health, 2006, 24, 381).ResultsAn overarching narrative of siblings wanting to feel part of the cancer journey was found, including their family's experience on the ward, with three key themes: (i) “what about me?”: overlooked and unseen, (ii) “always changing, never knowing”: the challenge of uncertainty and (iii) “let me be part of it all”: togetherness, communication and connection. These findings informed sibling support recommendations. Such recommendations included providing psychosocial screening, resources and opportunities for family time/communication and developmentally appropriate information to all siblings (universal support), monitoring psychosocial difficulties, siblings having someone to talk to and fostering family and peer connection for siblings requiring additional support (targeted support) and offering one‐to‐one psychological support and family therapy for persistent and/or escalating distress (clinical/treatment support).ConclusionsBased on the experiences of siblings, a range of sibling support recommendations have been identified. Implementation and evaluation of these recommendations are warranted.

ABSTRACTBackgroundAdherence to rhinitis treatment has been insufficiently assessed. We aimed to use data from the MASK‐air mHealth app to assess adherence to oral antihistamines (OAH), intra‐nasal corticosteroids (INCS) or azelastine‐fluticasone in patients with allergic rhinitis.MethodsWe included regular European MASK‐air users with self‐reported allergic rhinitis and reporting at least 1 day of OAH, INCS or azelastine‐fluticasone. We assessed weeks during which patients answered the MASK‐air questionnaire on all days. We restricted our analyses to data provided between January and June, to encompass the pollen seasons across the different assessed countries. We analysed symptoms using visual analogue scales (VASs) and the combined symptom‐medication score (CSMS), performing stratified analyses by weekly adherence levels. Medication adherence was computed as the proportion of days in which patients reported rhinitis medication use. Sensitivity analyses were performed considering all weeks with at most 1 day of missing data and all months with at most 4 days of missing data.ResultsWe assessed 8212 complete weeks (1361 users). Adherence (use of medication > 80% days) to specific drug classes ranged from 31.7% weeks for azelastine‐fluticasone to 38.5% weeks for OAH. Similar adherence to rhinitis medication was found in users with or without self‐reported asthma, except for INCS (better adherence in asthma patients). VAS and CSMS levels increased from no adherence to full adherence, except for INCS. A higher proportion of days with uncontrolled symptoms was observed in weeks with higher adherence. In full adherence weeks, 41.2% days reported rhinitis co‐medication. The sensitivity analyses displayed similar results.ConclusionsA high adherence was found in patients reporting regular use of MASK‐air. Different adherence patterns were found for INCS compared to OAH or azelastine‐fluticasone that are likely to impact guidelines.
