Corporate social responsibility and brand love: attractiveness and authenticity
Authors: Raza Ali , Farrukh Muhammad , Latif Khawaja Fawad , Glinska-Newes Aldona 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis study, drawing on the attribution, attachment, and regret theories, examined the predictors of brand love. It also aimed to assess the mediating role of brand authenticity dimensions, i.e. brand continuity, brand credibility and brand naturalness, on the relationship between customer perception of hotel corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and brand love. The moderating role of alternative attractiveness was also evaluated in relation to customer perception of hotel CSR initiatives and brand authenticity dimensions.Design/methodology/approachThe authors surveyed customers from hotels in different cities in Pakistan. To test the theoretical framework, partial least square-based structural equation modeling was used.FindingsThe results confirm customer perception of hotel CSR initiatives as a predictor of brand love. The partial mediating role of brand naturalness and brand credibility was found between customer perception of hotel CSR initiatives and brand love, and no mediation of brand continuity was found. Alternative attractiveness negatively moderated the link between customer perception of hotel CSR initiatives, brand credibility and brand naturalness. However, alternative attractiveness did not moderate the relationship between customer perception of hotel CSR initiatives and brand continuity.Practical implicationsHospitality practitioners can enhance brand love by strategically communicating CSR initiatives to customers, prioritizing brand credibility and brand naturalness and considering the role of attractive alternatives. This knowledge empowers practitioners to make informed decisions that can significantly impact their brand’s success.Originality/valueThis is the first study to explore the moderating role of alternative attractiveness on the relationship between customer perception of hotel CSR initiatives and brand authenticity dimensions. Equally, it is the first to investigate the mediating role of brand authenticity dimensions on the relationship between customer perception of hotel CSR initiatives and brand love.

Authors: Dyczkowska Joanna , Szalacha Paweł 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThe primary aim of this paper is to explore the practical application of the double materiality (DM) assessment process and to identify potential problems and challenges that may arise.Design/methodology/approachThis research entails a single case study of one of the leading Polish construction companies. Using internal documentation, the study records, analyses and assesses the DM implementation in a company that was an early adopter of this concept.FindingsThe results indicate that the DM assessment was a complex project, covering specific stages and posing various challenges, such as establishing objective criteria for selecting materiality thresholds. Other issues include the need to weight various stakeholder opinions in the process and to appropriately determine the reporting boundaries. The problem of discretionary judgements in DM assessments was also observed.Practical implicationsThis study provides practical insights for practitioners involved in the DM assessment process in sustainability reporting.Originality/valueOne of the novelties of this study is that it presents an authentic implementation of the DM concept, which was designed according to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards requirements.

Published: February 2025

PurposeThe main objective of this paper is to integrate quality with triple bottom line dimensions as well as economic, social and environmental concerns within a disassembly line balancing problem.Design/methodology/approachThis study presents a new disassembly line balancing model to maintain the triple bottom line. This proposed model applies a hybrid MCDM considering social, environmental, quantitative and qualitative business and quality dimensions. In this research, fuzzy AHP prioritizes the dimensions and fuzzy TOPSIS ranks the disassembly operations.FindingsThe findings show that the disassembly line’s cycle time decreased from 36 s to 32 s, with the main and sub-criteria considered. Therefore, this study reveals that integrating sustainability dimensions with quality may not result in sacrificing cycle time.Originality/valueGlobalization, the increase in demand, the complexity of supply chains and the environmental, economic and social dimensions should be examined together for these operations to be sustainable. Not only these dimensions but also the perception of quality, an essential aspect of production, must be reflected in the disassembly line balancing. There is a need for sustainability issues in disassembly line balancing, which is becoming increasingly important due to environmental concerns, resource conservation, corporate social responsibility and potential cost savings. However, a significant gap in the literature points to the need to cover all three dimensions of the triple bottom line and other production-related dimensions in the disassembly line balancing problem.

Published: February 2025

PurposeThe purpose of the present study was to explore the challenges and pathways to success for Black police chiefs, who remain under-represented in Law Enforcement.Design/methodology/approachTwo pilot interviews and four subsequent in-depth interviews were conducted with Black male police chiefs. Interview transcripts were analyzed through Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis.FindingsThe data revealed five themes describing barriers and challenges, but also substantial rewards of law enforcement work.Research limitations/implicationsThe qualitative design of the present study builds on prior quantitative studies exploring reasons for choosing a police career. The findings invite future research in a broader geographic area, as the results may not generalize beyond the northeast U.S., or to other diverse groups.Originality/valueThe results may provide a deeper understanding of the challenges of diversifying police agencies, and may assist agencies in better attracting and supporting the advancement of individuals from minority groups.

Published: February 2025

PurposeThis study investigates how firm-specific exposure to COVID-19 influences capital structure choices, a topic of significant importance due to the pandemic’s unprecedented economic disruption. We leverage a novel text-based measure of firm-specific COVID exposure to explore these dynamics.Design/methodology/approachOur research adopts an innovative text-based approach to measure firm-specific COVID exposure, developed by prior studies, which analyzes earnings conference call transcripts using advanced machine learning algorithms. The analysis is based on a comprehensive sample of US firms spanning over 20 years. Various statistical techniques, including firm-fixed effects, propensity score matching, entropy balancing and instrumental-variable analysis, are employed to ensure robust results.FindingsOur findings indicate that firms with higher COVID exposure significantly alter their leverage, favoring debt financing over equity financing. This effect is less pronounced in larger and more profitable firms as well as those more vulnerable to climate change risk. The unique impact of COVID on leverage is contrasted with other infectious diseases, which do not exhibit similar effects.Originality/valueOur study’s originality lies in its application of a novel text-based metric, borrowed from existing research, to measure firm-specific COVID exposure, marking a significant advancement in the field. This method provides a timely and precise assessment of exposure, offering insights that traditional metrics cannot capture. It is the first study to document the significant role of COVID exposure in determining corporate leverage, enhancing the understanding of capital structure dynamics in the context of unprecedented global disruptions.
What Sort of a Thing is an Archetype? Archetypes, Complexes and Self‐Organization Revisited
Authors: Skar Patricia 
Published: February 2025

AbstractA core group of mainly Jungian analysts have contributed to an ongoing archetype debate in the Journal of Analytical Psychology since the 1990s. Most of the participants have provided some sort of scientific definition for Jung’s archetype‐as‐such. However, to view the archetype as a property of the dynamic inherent in complex formation, as in Saunders & Skar (2001), is quite different from what others have proposed. This has led to misunderstandings of our theory. The current paper examines some of these misunderstandings alongside other issues that have arisen in the debate. For example, some writers have suggested that we could get rid of the term archetype altogether and still retain the important aspects of Jung’s psychology. While this may be true, for some Jungians archetypes may serve symbolically as progenitor gods acting within a system that is a good substitute for traditional religions. Others may simply consider the term useful for their clinical work. A key feature of Saunders and Skar’s theory is that it requires no progenitor archetypes for complexes to form. It permits us to keep the concept of the archetype firmly within the Jungian canon while at the same time respecting the findings of modern science.

SummaryIntroductionConflicting results have been reported regarding the influence of BMI on postoperative adverse events. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between BMI and postoperative pulmonary complications in adults undergoing non‐cardiac, non‐obstetric surgical procedures.MethodsThis large‐scale retrospective study included 125,082 adults who underwent surgery at a university‐affiliated tertiary care hospital between 2019 and 2023. The primary endpoint was the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications. Multivariable logistic regression analyses, subgroup analyses, sensitivity analyses and restricted cubic splines were used to assess the association between BMI and postoperative pulmonary complications.ResultsA total of 6671 patients (5.3%) developed one or more postoperative pulmonary complications. After adjusting for confounders, compared with those patients with a normal weight (BMI 18.5–24.9 kg.m‐2), patients who were underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg.m‐2) had an increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (OR 1.24, 95%CI 1.12–1.39, p < 0.001). Patients who were overweight (BMI 25.0–29.9 kg.m‐2) or living with class 1 obesity (BMI 30.0–34.9 kg.m‐2) had a lower risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (OR 0.88, 95%CI 0.83–0.94, p < 0.001 and OR 0.82, 95%CI 0.70–0.96; p = 0.01, respectively). Patients living with obesity class 2/3 (BMI ≥ 35 kg.m‐2) had a similar risk of postoperative pulmonary complications as patients with a normal weight (OR 1.23, 95%CI 0.91–1.66, p = 0.17). There was a J‐shaped association between BMI and incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications with the lowest risk at a BMI of 27.4 kg.m‐2.DiscussionPatients who were overweight or living with class 1 obesity undergoing non‐cardiac, non‐obstetric surgery had paradoxically lower risks of postoperative pulmonary complications compared with those of a normal weight. These findings may contradict traditional assumptions about surgical risk and obesity, highlighting the need to re‐evaluate the relationship between BMI and postoperative pulmonary complications.

AbstractIntroductionThe outcome following hysteroscopy adhesiolysis of Asherman’s syndrome in the puerperal period who appeared to do less well than the participants who developed the syndrome unrelated to child birth. As there is no literature to support or refute the observation, we decided to conduct a retrospective cohort study to compare the outcome of hysteroscopic adhesiolysis in women who developed Asherman's syndrome within or outside the puerperal period.Material and MethodsThis retrospective cohort study aimed to compare the outcome of hysteroscopic adhesiolysis in women who developed Asherman's syndrome within the puerperal period and women who developed the Asherman's syndrome outside the puerperal period. Fifty‐one women suffered from Asherman's syndrome in the puerperal period and 153 women suffered from Asherman's syndrome which developed outside the puerperal period. Second‐look and third‐look hysteroscopy were performed 4 and 8 weeks after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis.ResultsThe primary outcome measures were the postoperative adhesion reformation rate and the magnitude of reduction in American Fertility Society score as assessed at second‐look hysteroscopy. The secondary outcome measure was the change in menstrual pattern at 3 months after surgery. The adhesion reformation rate in puerperal group was 86.3%, which was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than that of 38.6% in the non‐puerperal (non‐puerperal) group. The median reduction in the adhesion score was 4.5 (4–6) in the puerperal group, which was significantly (p < 0.001) lower than the median reduction 7 (6–8) of the non‐puerperal group. In the puerperal group, the reduction rate of American Fertility Society score after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis was 42.4%, which was significantly lower than that of 72.6% in the non‐puerperal group. In the puerperal group, only 56.9% of women experienced improvement in menstruation defined as subjective increase in menstrual flow after surgery, which was significantly lower than that of 83.7% observed in the non‐puerperal group.ConclusionsFollowing hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, the outcome of Asherman's syndrome in women who developed the condition in the puerperal period was worse than those who developed the condition outside the puerperal period. Strategies to minimize damage and promote regeneration of the endometrium in the puerperal period in women at risk of developing intrauterine adhesions should be promoted.
The Type, Impacts, and Experiences of Peer Support for People Living With Bipolar Disorder: A Scoping Review

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundInternationally, mental health policy has highlighted the exchange of peer support between people with lived experience as a key component of recovery‐oriented care. There is some evidence to support the benefits of peer support in mixed‐diagnosis groups, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia. However, no reviews have specifically described the types and impacts of peer support interventions for bipolar disorder (BD).Methods and AnalysisA scoping review was conducted to explore the type, outcomes, and experience of peer support interventions in BD. Databases searched were MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycINFO, using terms related to peer support and BD. Extracted data included study design, participant demographics, intervention characteristics, and qualitative or quantitative data on outcomes and experiences.ResultsThirty studies met eligibility criteria and were included in the review. A diverse array of interventions incorporating peer support were evaluated, including unstructured face‐to‐face group programs, peer‐facilitated psychoeducation, and web‐based psychoeducation with accompanying peer support. Quantitative studies largely assessed clinical outcomes, with some attention to functioning and quality of life. Qualitative data included observations of interaction patterns and subjective experiences of programs.DiscussionGiven this heterogeneous literature, the effects of peer support in BD cannot be firmly concluded. However, qualitative research and rates of engagement with peer support programs are suggestive of subjective appeal. Priorities for future research include comparative studies to parse out the effects of different types of peer support, routine reporting of the characteristics of peer support programs, assessment of recovery‐oriented outcomes, and partnership with community organizations to optimize trial designs.
Call for Non‐Verbal Mind‐Mindedness Measures for Use in Infancy and Across Cultures
Authors: Bigelow Ann E. 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTMaternal mind‐mindedness, which examines mothers' representational capacity to treat their children as individuals with their own minds, has traditionally been operationalized by coding mothers' mental state comments to or about their children. Mind‐mindedness has been studied predominantly in Western cultures, where it predicts children's social‐cognitive developments. However, in many non‐Western cultures, mothers do not readily talk about their children's mental states; they may use nonverbal behaviors to manifest their mind‐mindedness. Nonverbal behaviors may also be the way mind‐mindedness is conveyed to young infants. Theorists have been puzzled by the fact that mind‐mindedness in mothers' speech prior to when infants understand language predicts infants' later social‐cognitive developments. In this article, I call for mind‐mindedness measures to include nonverbal behaviors. Such measures may reveal behaviors involved in communicating mind‐mindedness to infants and provide an avenue to equitable investigations of mind‐mindedness in diverse cultures, thus advancing the theory and scope of the field.

ABSTRACTEcological and evolutionary questions addressing diversity‐environment relationships have been evaluated almost entirely in geographic space, yet most hypotheses are formulated in terms of environmental conditions. Recent examples evaluating macroecological patterns directly in environmental space suggest that such refocusing provides different perspectives on the mechanisms driving broad‐scale patterns of diversity. Yet, we lack both conceptual frameworks and targeted studies to fully evaluate the potential contribution of such a refocus. Here, we focus on the concept of environmental space by briefly reviewing its use in ecology and evolution and suggesting avenues for further development. We encourage a re‐evaluation of hypotheses and frameworks that have dominated ecological theory since the foundations of ecology with a very simple shift in the lens, that is, from geographical to environmental space. Focusing on environmental space also provides a crucial lens for climate change research, enabling a comprehensive evaluation of biodiversity dynamics and offering a holistic view of the interplay between species and their evolving environments. This shift enhances our ability to predict and adapt to future changes, enriching our understanding of biodiversity beyond more commonly done geographic analyses.

AbstractBackgroundSurgical site infection (SSI) is a frequent complication following emergency equine laparotomy, negatively impacting equine welfare, increasing treatment costs and presenting a hospital biosecurity risk.ObjectivesTo determine if a sutured‐on stent dressing for incisional protection during anaesthetic recovery reduced SSI following emergency laparotomy.Study DesignRandomised controlled trial.MethodsEligible horses were randomised to a sutured‐on stent (intervention) or textile dressing (control) as the primary component of a 3‐layer abdominal bandage placed for anaesthetic recovery. Horses were followed up to 90 days postoperatively. Data were analysed according to intention‐to‐treat principles. Time to SSI (primary outcome) for each group was analysed using a Cox proportional hazard model. Secondary outcomes (SSI and pyrexia during hospitalisation, days hospitalisation and incisional hernia formation at 90 days) were analysed using Chi‐squared tests and a univariable logistic regression model (categorical data) or by comparing means between groups (continuous data).ResultsOf 352 eligible horses enrolled (167 intervention group, 185 control group), SSI developed in 101 (28.7%) at a mean of 9.7 days (SD 4.6 days). Rate of SSI was not significantly different between groups unadjusted (hazard ratio [HR] 0.83, 95% CI 0.56–1.23, p = 0.4) or adjusted for variables significantly associated with rate of SSI (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.59–1.30, p = 0.5). There were no significant differences in secondary outcomes between intervention and control groups.Main LimitationsSingle‐centre study evaluating incisional protection from a primary dressing under a secondary adhesive and tertiary fabric abdominal bandage for anaesthetic recovery.ConclusionsUse of a sutured‐on stent compared with a textile adhesive dressing as the primary layer of an abdominal bandage for anaesthetic recovery did not reduce the rate of SSI. Further RCT are warranted to investigate efficacy of other interventions on reduction of SSI following emergency laparotomy in horses.
Entering‐In, Tuning‐In: Linking Urban Public Space and Migrant Integration From a Place and Design Perspective
Authors: Qu Chen 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThis paper identifies migration integration as an important theme in migration studies that has been multiple‐dimensionally conceptualised, especially from a social, economic, cultural, and political aspect, but pre‐existing studies lack explorations of the role of urban public or urban design in the integration, though such space is critical to democratic life and cultural diversity. I review leisure, spatial studies and geographies literature on urban public space and urban experience and present how such space can relate to migrant integration as a socialising stage or entertaining hub, as well as the potential of adopting the human‐environment nexus embodied in urban experience to understand social (non‐)inclusion and migrant integration. In view of these linkages, integration is arguably redefined from a people–place interactive, spatial and design perspective, with the everyday experience of migrants and influence of urban public space’s (in)visible features on human bodies and minds, behaviours and emotions noted. Place integration as a new dimension indicated by sense of place such as place attachment/belonging is proposed that can contribute to place‐based politics of belonging.
