ABSTRACTRhodamine dyes are widely used fluorophores in super-resolution fluorescence imaging due to their exceptional optical properties and “aggregation-disaggregation” induced fluorogenic activation. However, their excessive lipophilicity often reduces brightness in aqueous environments and causes off-target staining, limiting their effectiveness in high-resolution imaging. To address these challenges, we introduce an ether-decorated N-terminal modification strategy for rhodamine and silicon-rhodamine (Si-rhodamine), replacing conventional N-alkyl groups. The ether chains enhance water solubility, decrease aggregate size, and improve fluorogenicity across a wide concentration range. Their flexible, hydrophilic structure forms a protective shield around the xanthene core, minimizing dye-water interactions and reducing fluorescence quenching. Additionally, the inductive effect of the ether chains decreases the electron-donating strength of the amino groups, suppressing quenching caused by twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT). These modifications collectively increase the quantum yields ofERandESiRin water from 0.35 and 0.19 (for tetraethyl-substituted analogs) to 0.70 and 0.41, respectively. Probes derived fromERandESiRexhibit outstanding fluorogenicity, enhanced signal-to-noise ratios, and improved resolution in complex aqueous environments, demonstrating superior performance in advanced super-resolution imaging techniques such as structured illumination microscopy (SIM), stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy, and single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM). This work introduces an innovative strategy for fluorophore design, offering significant advancements for super-resolution imaging applications.
The impact of gender diversity on dividend distribution policy for French SBF companies: a panel quantile regression approach
Authors: Mrad Mouna , Kacem Manel 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This paper aims to examine the relationship between the characteristics of the board of directors and the distribution of dividends. This study specifically examines the effect of gender diversity on dividend payout for French SBF companies using panel data.

Design/methodology/approach
This study examines a sample of 70 non-financial French companies from the SBF 120 index from 2011 to 2019. A quantile regression approach is applied to the empirical analysis since it offers a more comprehensive description of the entire conditional distribution of the dividend payout and not only its average as in classical linear regression. The main goal is to investigate whether the impact of gender diversity characteristics varies among the different quantiles of the dividend conditional distribution.

Findings
The findings reveal distinct effects of gender board characteristics on dividend distribution across various levels. Furthermore, this study investigates the nonlinear relationship between female directors and dividend payout. This paper identifies an inverted U-shaped relationship between female directors and dividend payout, which aligns with the critical mass theory.

Research limitations/implications
Quantile regression method offers a better understanding of the impact of female representation at different levels of the distributions of the dividend payout ratio. This surpasses the limitations of simple linear regression models, which focus exclusively on the impact on the mean.

Practical implications
The objective of authorities should extend beyond merely achieving a numerical quota. Instead, they should focus on ensuring a substantial and meaningful representation of women in decision-making positions. This may involve implementing initiatives dedicated to promoting genuine diversity and achieving a balance of skills, experiences and perspectives within governance bodies.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that examines the impact of gender diversity on dividend payout policy for non-financial French companies using the quantile regression technique.
When employees are bullied: a longitudinal multi-study exploration of its consequences in the Indian hospitality industry
Authors: Bansal Suhans , Garg Naval 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This study aims to explore the relationship between workplace bullying (WB) and proactive customer service orientation (PCSO). It also examined the mediation effect of workplace conflict (relationship and task conflict) and the combined moderating effect of psychological and social capital on the proposed relationship.

Design/methodology/approach
Longitudinal multi-study research design was used to collect data in three waves. Two studies were administered separately on hotel and restaurant employees. The correlation and hierarchical regression analysis were administered in SPSS. Mediation and multiplicative moderation analysis were conducted using Process macro.

Findings
The study’s findings suggest that WB is negatively associated with PCSO in both studies. Relationship and task conflict significantly mediated the relationship between WB and PCSO. Lastly, the psychological capital and social capital together safeguard the decreasing PCSO of the employees of the Indian hospitality industry due to WB.

Originality/value
There are hardly any studies examining the relationship between WB and PCSO in the Indian context. Further, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no previous study has either explored the mediation effect of workplace conflict or the combined moderating effect of psychological and social capital on the proposed relationship.

Authors: Nakhaei Ashtari Masoud , Della Ventura Giancarlo , Correia Mariana 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThe purpose of this article is to assess climate change impacts on four earthen heritage (EH) sites, highlighting their vulnerability and the need for an integrated approach that considers physical, social and cultural factors.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a systematic approach to assess climate change impacts on earthen heritage sites. A literature review informed the development of a conceptual model based on climate change risk guidelines and methodologies. The model evaluates site-specific hazards through quantitative and qualitative assessments, considering exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity. Vulnerability is calculated using a formula that categorizes it into five levels. Data collection included meteorological analysis, field observations and interviews with local experts.FindingsFindings indicate that climate change has significant consequences for earthen heritage sites, including erosion, structural deterioration and loss of cultural value. The regions of Sistan, Yazd, Persepolis and Tchogha Zanbil are particularly vulnerable due to their specific climatic conditions. Key threats include changes in precipitation patterns, extreme weather events, rising temperatures and water scarcity. Socioeconomic factors like limited conservation resources and inadequate stakeholder communication exacerbate these vulnerabilities. The study highlights the need for interdisciplinary collaboration, effective governance and community engagement to develop comprehensive climate change adaptation strategies.Originality/valueThe article’s originality lies in its systematic assessment of climate change impacts on earthen heritage sites, offering a novel framework that integrates interdisciplinary approaches and site-specific factors.
Conservapedia: problems, principles, mindset and implications for a polarized world
Authors: Luyt Brendan 
Published: January 2025

PurposeIn this article, I present an initial examination of Conservapedia; namely, the problems it identified in the Wikipedia project that made a split appear necessary and the principles it claims to follow. I then argue that Conservapedia is characterized by a “law-and-order” mindset. Finally, implications for the continued existence of Conservapedia in a polarized world are presented.Design/methodology/approachA content analysis of key Conservapedia documents was conducted.FindingsThe founders of Conservapedia took issue with Wikipedia over its supposed intolerance and inconsistency of thought. They developed a set of principles that attempted to reconcile open-mindedness with efficiency and an extreme point of view on certain subjects. Nevertheless, Conservapedia failed to produce a vibrant community, and its function today is more of a database of alt-right dogma controlled by a core group of supporters.Originality/valueThere has been little scholarly attention paid to the various offshoots of Wikipedia, including Conservapedia. This is unfortunate. These alternative wiki encyclopedias represent knowledge universes of their own and in an increasingly polarized world they are important phenomena to understand.
Decision analysis of the non–adoption of digital Islamic banking by Indonesian consumers: a structured equation modelling approach
Authors: Heriyati Pantri , Nugraha Krisna , Yadav Neeraj , Bismo Aryo 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
Use of digital Islamic banking services is not increasing in Indonesia, despite the country’s sizable Islamic population. This non-adoption might have resulted from consumer resistance brought on by attempts to divert them, or it might have been a direct consequence of the diverting effect. This study aims to examine the direct relationship between the diverting effects and the decision to not adopt digital Islamic banking, as well as the mediating role of consumer resistance.

Design/methodology/approach
The partial least squares-based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique is used to analyse relationships among diverting effects, consumer resistance and non-adoption decisions. A total of 517 middle- and upper-class Indonesian consumers were involved as a sample, with several criteria such as being a conventional bank customer for at least 5 years and using digital services with a minimum of 5 transactions per month but not yet being an Islamic bank customer.

Findings
It is found that the direct relationship between the diverting effects and the non-adoption decisions is not statistically significant (β = 0.045, p = 0.15). However, it is found that the diverting effects trigger consumer resistance in a statistically significant manner (β = 0.192, p < 0.1). This consumer resistance is found to be influencing non-adoption decisions directly (β = 0.694, p < 0.1), as well as a mediating factor between diverting effects and the non-adoption decisions (β = 0.133, p < 0.1).

Originality/value
The paper deals with an emerging industry and offers actionable insights for its growth. In practice, this study suggests several possible strategies for the Islamic banking industry to grow under circumstances where digital banking is considered sine-qua-non of modern banking. Several related theories are also evaluated in this study.

The enhancing effects and mechanisms of inositol and choline on antioxidant capacity of vitamin E using model established in mice hepatocytes
Authors: Bai Huasong , Yang Jiayi , Wang Ruixue , Liu Tong , Wang Zhanzhong 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This study aims to enhance the bioavailability and antioxidant function of vitamin E (VE) by combining it with inositol and choline, exploring their synergistic effects and underlying mechanisms.

Design/methodology/approach
An oxidative stress model in mouse hepatocytes was established using hydrogen peroxide to assess the antioxidant effects of combined VE, inositol and choline treatments. Cell viability, the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) and antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), were measured to evaluate protective effects. α-Tocopherol (α-T) and α-tocopherol transfer protein (α-TTP) levels were assessed to determine VE bioavailability. Transcriptome sequencing was conducted to identify gene expression changes and pathways impacted by the treatment.

Findings
An optimal oxidative stress model was established with 641 µM hydrogen peroxide for 6 h. The combination of 20 µM VE, 1.5 mM inositol and 0.3 mM choline significantly improved cell viability, reduced ROS and MDA levels and increased SOD and CAT activities, indicating enhanced antioxidant protection. In addition, α-T and α-TTP levels were higher with this combination, suggesting improved VE bioavailability. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the treatment modulated key pathways linked to inflammation, cancer and lipid metabolism, particularly impacting interleukin-17 and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells signaling, cytokine interactions and the alcoholic liver disease pathway.

Originality/value
This study demonstrates a novel approach for improving VE’s bioavailability and effectiveness through its combination with inositol and choline, providing insights that could inform antioxidant therapies and liver health interventions.
Relationship between investor attention and stock returns through wavelet analysis
Authors: Lohan Sheenam , Katoch Rupinder 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThe stock market plays a crucial role in driving economic growth and maintaining economic vibrancy. A key factor shaping the stock market’s dynamics is investor attention (IA). With the rapid growth of behavioral finance, which offers insights into investor behavior, choices and their impact, there is growing concern among scholars about the influence of IA on global stock markets. This underscores the importance of understanding the intricate relationship between IA and market fluctuations on a global scale.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs the Toda-Yamamoto Granger Causality test and Wavelet Analysis, to investigate the time-frequency varying causal relationships. The study analyzes closing price data for 26 Emerging Stock Markets from January 2004 to June 2022, with IA measured using Google search volume indices based on the highest intensity keywords sourced from Bloomberg, Wordstream and Google Trends.FindingsThe study identifies numerous instances of strong co-movements between IA and stock returns, predominantly occurring over the medium to long term. This suggests that IA plays a significant role in shaping stock market performance, particularly in driving sustained trends that impact long-term returns.Originality/valueThe originality of our study lies in its comprehensive analysis of the varying time–frequency relationships between IA and stock returns across 26 emerging markets, using a robust data set and precise measurement techniques. The results establish the predictive power of IA on market returns covering six different types of crisis, offering novel insights for investors and policymakers in emerging economies.
Work engagement through social exchange mechanisms: does the role of knowledge-sharing behavior matter?
Authors: Almadana Aulia Vidya , Suharnomo Suharnomo , Perdhana Mirwan Surya 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This study aims to examine the role of knowledge-sharing behaviors within the relationships between high-performance work systems (HPWS) and feeling trusted in work engagement.

Design/methodology/approach
The sample consisted from 107 employees working in financial services companies in Jakarta, Indonesia, who underwent an acquisition process. In this study, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine the associations between HPWS and feelings of confidence in job commitment. In addition, the Sobel test was used to test the mediation effect of knowledge-sharing behavior.

Findings
This study found that HPWS have a positive relationship with work engagement and knowledge-sharing behaviors. Accordingly, the feeling trusted by supervisors has a positive, non-significant impact on knowledge-sharing behavior. Conversely, the feeling trusted by supervisors has a negative, non-significant impact on work engagement. Finally, this study also found that knowledge sharing does not lead to HPWS and feeling trusted does not improve work engagement.

Research limitations/implications
Although this study was conducted in a multicultural country, the analysis of cultural aspects is insufficient analysis. Therefore, future research should consider the cultural aspects to further this form of research.

Practical implications
Organizations should note that human resource management practices through HPWS play an important role in improving positive employee outcomes. In addition, companies through managers should manage their relationships with subordinates to optimize work engagement.

Originality/value
Financial services companies not only conduct a financial business, but also an information business. This paper is one of the quantitative studies that examines the work engagement of employees from financial companies that have gone through an acquisition process.

Published: January 2025

AbstractIntroductionDiagnostic work‐up of older women with a positive cervical cancer screening test is often challenging due to incomplete visualization of the transformation zone. To reduce the risk of missing disease, a diagnostic cervical excision may be performed. However, little is known on treatment efficacy and post‐treatment surveillance for older women. We aimed to investigate the proportion of women testing negative for human papillomavirus (HPV) following a diagnostic cervical excision due to an abnormal screening test.Material and MethodsWe conducted a prospective cohort study on women aged ≥45 years who were referred for colposcopy due to an abnormal screening test between March 2019 and June 2021. All women had incomplete visualization of the transformation zone and underwent colposcopy and a diagnostic cervical excision at the first visit. Women were followed from date of excision until January 30, 2023. Follow‐up data was retrieved from the Danish Pathology Databank, and baseline characteristics were obtained from medical records. Cox regression was used on interval‐censored data to estimate crude and adjusted hazard ratios for a negative HPV test after cervical excision, stratified by histology and age.ResultsA total of 100 women underwent a diagnostic cervical excision and had at least one HPV test during follow‐up. Median age was 67.4 years, and median follow‐up time was 2.9 years. At the end of follow‐up, 70% tested HPV negative. Women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade two or worse in their excision specimen were more likely to test HPV negative at the first test after cervical excision compared to women with less than cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade two, however, not statistically significant (adjusted hazard ratio 1.69, 95% CI 0.92–3.10). Women aged 65–84 years were less likely to test HPV negative compared to women <65 years (adjusted hazard ratio 0.49, 95% CI 0.28–0.87).ConclusionsIn older women undergoing a diagnostic cervical excision, 70% tested HPV negative after 2.9 years, leaving 30% with persistent HPV positivity. More studies are needed to determine the risks associated with continued HPV positivity in the absence of high‐grade disease. Furthermore, given the absence of specific guidelines, the optimal surveillance frequency remains unknown.

The Economic Consequences of Social Unrest: Evidence from Initial Public Offerings
Authors: Barrett Philip , Boulton Thomas J. , Nixon Terry D. 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTPrior research attributes negative stock market performance following episodes of social unrest to elevated uncertainty. However, social unrest does not solely increase uncertainty but separately acts to decrease investor sentiment. To determine which effect dominates, we study initial public offering (IPO) underpricing, which responds differently to changes to uncertainty and investor sentiment. Consistent with the notion that social unrest dampens investor sentiment, we find that first‐day returns are lower during times of greater social unrest. Limits to arbitrage and elevated home‐country bias (strong institutional frameworks) intensify (mitigate) the impact of social unrest on underpricing.
