Disadvantages of the food beauty premium: new marketing communication for organic food
Authors: Kato Takumi , Yoshimura Wakako , Shinozaki Yusuke , Hayami Katsuya , Ikeda Ryosuke , Koizumi Masaki 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
Despite growing knowledge about its benefits, the organic food market’s expansion has been limited. A problem with ethical consumption is the attitude–behavior gap. The simplest reason for this gap is that in survey settings, social desirability bias elicits positive attitudes; whereas in real settings, the ambiguity of direct benefits leads to negative behavior. By clinging to the excessive values of a beauty premium, consumers abandon essential health in favor of apparent health, increasing product prices and contributing to environmental degradation. Using organic food, this study aims to eliminate this gap in the consumption of organic foods.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses a randomized controlled trial – the gold standard for estimating the causal effects of treatments – with 1,500 individuals aged 20–70 years in Japan. The authors consider appealing aspects other than product characteristics, such as health and environmental considerations, and focus on the negative effects of beauty premiums.

Findings
The above marketing communication significantly increased purchase intention. This effect was more pronounced among younger people, men, those with higher incomes and those who cook less frequently as compared to their counterparts. Health and environmental considerations had no effect on purchase intentions.

Originality/value
This study incorporated consumer values regarding health and environmental benefits in new marketing communications to address the “beauty premium” and resolve the conventional attitude–behavior gap concerning organic foods.
Understanding police officers’ experiences of post-shooting interviews: factors influencing account-giving
Authors: Porter Louise E. , Powell Martine 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
This study aims to understand the factors that are perceived to influence the completeness and accuracy of officers’ accounts of an officer-involved shooting (OIS).

Design/methodology/approach
Research interviews were conducted with 13 Australian police officers who had been involved in a shooting and subsequently undergone an investigative interview by their agency’s internal investigators. The authors integrated the officers' experiences of, and perspectives on, these investigative interviews using inductive thematic analysis.

Findings
Officers’ accounts of a shooting relied not just on their memory but their engagement and ability to provide their account. This was influenced by their psychological state as well as the interview process. Interview timing was relevant. However, it was not necessarily the length of time to wait, but the treatment experienced during that time that had the most impact, not only on officers’ satisfaction with the process but also on the quality of information provided. Officers felt they performed best when supported, and demonstrations of procedural and informational justice were key.

Practical implications
Knowledge of the factors that affect officers’ ability to provide accounts of stressful events can contribute to policies that recognise individual-level needs and ensure fair treatment of subject officers.

Originality/value
While prior research has recognised OISs as traumatic events with long-term impacts on officer wellbeing, far less is known about the immediate aftermath of a shooting with respect to the needs of the officer and how this might impact the interview process. By drawing on the insights of officers with direct experience, this study adds to the evidence for best-practice interviewing of officers after a shooting.
The role of mindfulness in the relationship between uncertainty and adaptive performance via affect: a within-person approach
Authors: Taşkan Burcu , Junça-Silva Ana , Caetano António 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
In the current uncertain working environment, how and when employees adapt their performance is an essential issue. Based on the integrative model of uncertainty tolerance, this study aims to investigate the relationship between uncertainty and adaptive performance by testing the mediating role of negative affect and mindfulness as a moderator.

Design/methodology/approach
To test the model, 159 participants took part in a diary study during 10 working days (n = 159 x 10 = 1,590).

Findings
The multilevel results showed that negative affect mediated the within-person effect of uncertainty on adaptive performance. Further, mindfulness moderated the relationship between uncertainty and adaptive performance in such a way that it became stronger for individuals who scored lower on mindfulness (versus higher mindfulness).

Research limitations/implications
Understanding what may sustain and amplify responses to uncertain working conditions may help managers to design interventions that may support their employees’ responses to effectively cope with them.

Originality/value
This study shed light on the relevance of both negative affect and mindfulness on the relationship between uncertainty and adaptive performance. In addition, the findings expand the theoretical knowledge of the mechanism underlying the relationship between uncertainty and adaptive performance, and the condition that may strengths this relationship.
A novel method of hydraulic valves design for additive manufacturing based on structural decomposition
Authors: Li Dongfei , Guo Gaofeng 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to propose a design method for additive manufacturing (AM) hydraulic valves based on valve body structural decomposition. The method aims to achieve the design of a hydraulic valve with minimum mass or maximum stiffness or minimum pressure loss that also satisfies the structural strength requirements.

Design/methodology/approach
Decompose the hydraulic valve into typical feature structures and functional structures. Generative design (GD) tools are used to perform GD on the typical feature structures while considering loads and constraints. Based on the GD results, automatically design flow channels with variable wall thickness driven by fluid pressure. The GD results under different design objectives are combined with the automatically designed variable wall thickness channels to obtain hydraulic valves with different performance characteristics.

Findings
The case study section redesigned and manufactured a minimum mass fuel regulator valve. Compared to the conventional fuel regulator valve, the mass of the redesigned valve was reduced by 77%, the pressure loss was reduced by 40% and the flow rate was increased by 38%.

Originality/value
The value of this work is the combination of structural and flow optimization, as well as the design of flow channels with variable wall thickness. The proposed method contributes a novel solution to the design of AM hydraulic valves.
Enhancing carbon neutral supply chain performance: can green logistics and pressure from supply chain stakeholders make any differences?
Authors: Tetteh Francis Kamewor , Owusu Kwateng Kwame , Mensah John 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
With limited empirical evidence, prior studies have proposed that green practices can be leveraged to enhance carbon neutrality. This study draws on the contingent natural resource-based view (NRBV) to theorize and validate how pressure from supply chain (SC) stakeholders could amplify the effect of green logistics practices (GLPs) on carbon-neutral supply chain performance (CNSCP) among firms in developing countries. Specifically, this study contends that high levels of supply chain pressures (SCPs) (customers and suppliers) amplify the influence of GLPs on CNSCP.

Design/methodology/approach
An integrated model was tested using survey data gathered from 208 managers of logistics firms in Ghana. SPSS 23 and structural equation modeling were used for the data analyses.

Findings
Findings showed that all five dimensions of GLPs (transportation, warehousing, packaging and distribution, logistics information sharing and sustainable waste management) significantly enhance CNSCP. This study also found varying interactive effects of SCPs (customers and suppliers) on the link between GLPs (green transportation, green packaging and distribution) and CNSCP, such that different practices exert varying interactive effects at varying levels of SCPs.

Practical implications
This study offers fresh insights into how managers can leverage GLPs to achieve enhanced benefits in the form of CNSCP. The outcome of this study offers a comprehensive understanding of the GLPs-CNSCP link while shedding light on how firms can manage SCP to drive enhanced carbon-neutral performance through GLPs.

Social implications
This study contributes to policymakers in enhancing the decarbonization of global SCs through sustainable logistics practices.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to theorize and empirically validate the influence of GLPs on CNSCP. This study identified five practices and demonstrated how these practices uniquely drive CNSCP, as opposed to previous studies that examined GLPs from a one-dimensional perspective. This study also expands the borders of sustainable logistics literature by theorizing and empirically validating SCPs (customers and suppliers) as necessary conditions to amplify the benefits of GLPs. In essence, the novelty of the present study lies in the integration of NRBV and stakeholder theories to unearth the mechanism for optimizing the GLP-CNSCP relationship, which is rare in the sustainable logistics literature.
Impact measurement among social purpose organizations: which practices are associated with useful, non-burdensome impact measurement
Authors: Akwetey John F. , Ricci Lisa , Ruff Katherine (Kate) , Zaredorahi Farnaz 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
The benefits and challenges of impact measurement for social purpose organizations are well known. Measuring impact can equip managers with information to further their organizations’ purposes. Measurement can also be costly and time-consuming. The many tools and techniques give managers a choice; however, the techniques are not appropriately scaled to the financial and human resources available. This study aims to identify and validate a minimum set of essential impact measurement practices associated with useful, non-burdensome impact measurement among social purpose organizations.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors use data from a sample of social purpose organizations that answered questions about impact measurement practices based on the common approach to impact measurement’s common foundations model and three questions about impact measurement’s perceived benefits and value. The authors use factor analysis (first confirmatory factor analysis and then exploratory factor analysis) to identify the minimum set of impact measurement practices associated with the useful, non-burdensome impact measurement.

Findings
The authors found that the Common Foundations 21 practices are correlated and consistent with the perception that measurement is useful and not burdensome. However, the model that underpins the Common Foundations had a poor fit when tested with confirmatory factor analysis. The authors present and validate a revised model with a high goodness of fit. The revised model identifies ten impact measurement practices that, when implemented, are highly correlated with useful, non-burdensome measurement.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to empirically examine a minimum set of impact measurement practices associated with the benefits of measurement while reducing the burden. These findings are of practical value to social purpose organizations looking to benefit from impact measurement whose financial and human resources are limited. The authors offer them ten essential impact measurement practices. The findings offer a validated instrument for assessing if an organization’s impact measurement practices will likely lead to useful, non-burdensome impact measurement.
Inhibition mechanism of palladium on intermetallic compounds in Au–Al bonding under high temperature storage
Authors: Liang Zhimin , Zhao Xinyu , Li Yunjia , Rao Yuzhong , Wang Kehong , Wang Xiaobing 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
Adding Pd element to Au wire can improve the reliability of Au-Al bonding, but the mechanism of Pd element has not been well revealed so far. The purpose of this study is to reveal in more detail the mechanism of the role of Pd elements in Au/Al bonding.

Design/methodology/approach
In this paper, the microstructure changes and tensile data of 99.99% (4N) gold wire and 99% (2N) gold wire with 1 at % Pd were compared through high-temperature thermal aging treatment of the specimens, so as to explore the influence mechanism of Pd element on Au-Al bonding reliability.

Findings
The addition of Pd element effectively reduces the thickness of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) layer and strengthens the fracture tension and reliability. Compared with the 4N specimen, the average thickness of the IMCs layer of the 2N specimen under the same conditions is reduced by 1 µm, and the tensile value of the 2N specimen is increased by 1−3 g. Stored at 200°C for 200 h, the failure rate of bond point of 4N specimen reached 94.64%, and that of 2N specimen was 20%, with a difference of 4.73 times.

Originality/value
Through comparative analysis of the data, this study found that the doping of Pd element in Au-Al IMCs in the early stage slowed down the growth rate of the IMCs, and the precipitation of Pd element in the late stage to form a better Pd-rich layer hindered the element mutual diffusion behavior between Au and Al.
Compressive sensing principles applied in time and space for three‐dimensional land seismic data acquisition and processing
Authors: Jeong Woodon , Tsingas Constantinos , Almubarak Mohammed S. , Ma Yue 
Published: December 2024

AbstractCompressive sensing introduces novel perspectives on non‐uniform sampling, leading to substantial reductions in acquisition cost and cycle time compared to current seismic exploration practices. Non‐uniform spatial sampling, achieved through source and/or receiver areal distributions, and non‐uniform temporal sampling, facilitated by simultaneous‐source acquisition schemes, enable compression and/or reduction of seismic data acquisition time and cost. However, acquiring seismic data using compressive sensing may encounter challenges such as an extremely low signal‐to‐noise ratio and the generation of interference noise from adjacent sources. A significant challenge to this innovative approach is to demonstrate the translation of theoretical gains in sampling efficiency into operational efficiency in the field. In this study, we propose a spatial compression scheme based on compressive sensing theory, aiming to obtain an undersampled survey geometry by minimizing the mutual coherence of a spatial sampling operator. Building upon an optimised spatial compression geometry, we subsequently consider temporal compression through a simultaneous‐source acquisition scheme. To address challenges arising from the recorded compressed seismic data in the non‐uniform temporal and spatial domains, such as missing traces and crosstalk noise, we present a joint deblending and reconstruction algorithm. Our proposed algorithm employs the iterative shrinkage‐thresholding method to solve an ℓ2–ℓ1 optimization problem in the frequency–wavenumber–wavenumber (ω–kx–ky) domain. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm produces excellent deblending and reconstruction results, preserving data quality and reliability. These results are compared with non‐blended and uniformly acquired data from the same location illustrating the robustness of the application. This study exemplifies how the theoretical improvements based on compressive sensing principles can significantly impact seismic data acquisition in terms of spatial and temporal sampling efficiency.
Inhibition of DNA Methyltransferase DNMT1 Reverses Th2 Response Polarisation and Alleviates Allergic Rhinitis
Authors: Zou Peng , Li Jianguo , Li Jia , Wang Jian 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundType 2 T helper (Th2) cells‐mediated immune response plays vital roles in allergic rhinitis (AR), and DNA methylation is previously found to be closely related to AR development.AimsOur study aims to reveal the detail mechanism of DNA methylation affecting Th2 response in AR.MethodsMice were stimulated with ovalbumin (OVA) to induce AR symptoms, and CD4+ T cells were subjected to Th2 induction culture. Real‐time quantitative PCR, western blot, flow cytometry, and enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay were performed to analyse the activation of Th2 response.ResultsDNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) was significantly upregulated in OVA‐induced AR model mice, and DNMT1 knockdown alleviated AR symptoms and pathological changes of nasal mucosa tissues in the model mice. DNMT1 knockdown obviously reduced the expression of GATA binding protein 3 (GATA3), the ratio of interleukin (IL)‐4+CD4+ cells and the release of Th2 cytokines, but elevated the expression of T‐box expressed in T cells (T‐bet), the ratio of interferon (IFN)‐γ+CD4+ cells and the levels of Th1 cytokines to improve Th1/Th2 imbalance in the model mice and Th2‐induced CD4+T cells. Mechanistically, DNMT1 promoted promoter methylation of forkhead box O3 (FOXO3), inhibited FOXO3 expression and activated the nuclear factor kappa‐B (NF‐κB)/GATA3 signalling. FOXO3 overexpression remarkably inactivated the NF‐κB/GATA3 pathway and mitigated Th2 polarisation in DNMT1‐deficient and Th2‐conditined CD4+T cells, which was reversed by a NF‐κB inhibitor.ConclusionAltogether, DNMT1 downregulated FOXO3 expression to activate the NF‐κB/GATA3 pathway and promote Th2 response in AR.

AbstractAttention‐Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental condition that impacts approximately 5% of children worldwide. Children with this ADHD often struggle with behavioural issues that disrupt their ability to meet the demands of learning in educational settings. This research aims to identify the motivational strategies used by primary caregivers to address the challenging behaviours of Filipino kindergarteners diagnosed with ADHD via a qualitative research design. Focus group discussions and one‐on‐one interviews were conducted with 11 primary caregivers of children with ADHD. The findings identified the challenges faced and support strategies used by caregivers—parents or guardians—in supporting children with this neurodevelopmental disorder. This study highlights the motivational and academic benefits associated with employing preparatory, remediation, and teacher‐caregiver collaborative, and activity engagement strategies to address the needs of young children with ADHD. These findings underscore the importance of capacity‐building initiatives aimed at supporting caregivers of children with ADHD.
Performance evaluation of a Cadre Forensics TopMatch‐GS 3D system for cartridge case comparisons
Authors: Alsdurf Joseph W. , Law Eric F. , Luehr Stephanie C. 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThree‐dimensional (3D) measurement systems for firearm forensics are becoming more prevalent in forensic laboratories, and these instruments are typically coupled with algorithms to assist firearm examiners with comparisons. Due to differences in firearm feature reproducibility on different types of ammunition, comparison algorithms need to be tested utilizing a variety of ammunition brands. For this study, 30 shots were fired, utilizing six common ammunition brands, from each of the 10 casework firearms for a total of 300 cartridge cases. All cartridge cases were scanned on a Cadre Forensics TopMatch‐GS 3D desktop system and compared using Cadre's breech face and firing pin aperture shear algorithms for a total of 44,850 comparisons. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the curve (AUC) were used to quantify the performance of the algorithms when comparing within and between ammunition brands. Same ammunition brand comparisons (AUC = 0.964) performed statistically significantly better (p = 0.0075) than different ammunition brand comparisons (AUC = 0.944). Overall, the results generally indicated greater reproducibility of characteristics from a firearm when the ammunition in a comparison is the same, however, Cadre's algorithms demonstrated excellent overall discrimination between same and different‐source comparisons regardless of ammunition brand (AUC = 0.946). Additionally, score thresholds were evaluated for easier interpretation of what algorithm results mean for practitioners, where 68.6% of same‐source comparisons resulted in a similarity score greater than 0.5. These results should assist the field in moving toward the use of algorithms to assist examiners in casework comparisons.
