Empowering leadership boosts employee innovative job performance: unraveling the role of work stress and regulatory focus
Authors: Li Chao , Wang Zhongming , Hu Honghao 
Published: November 2024

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the relationship between empowering leadership and innovative job performance, with challenge stress and hindrance stress acting as parallel mediators. Additionally, the study examines how promotion focus and prevention focus moderate these dual processes.Design/methodology/approachA two-wave survey was employed to validate the theoretical model, gathering data from 449 employees across various industries in Mainland China with a convenience sampling method.FindingsThe results demonstrate that empowering leadership enhances employee innovative job performance by increasing challenge stress and reducing hindrance stress, highlighting the moderating role of regulatory focus. Specifically, a high promotion focus strengthens the positive relationship between empowering leadership and challenge stress, while a high prevention focus weakens the negative relationship between empowering leadership and hindrance stress. The moderated mediation effect of regulatory focus is also verified.Practical implicationsEmpowering leaders should be mindful of employees’ dualistic work stress and implement tailored management strategies based on individual regulatory focus to maintain their psychological well-being and enhance innovative performance.Originality/valueGrounded in job demand-resource (JD-R) theory and a stress perspective, this study develops a dual-path model to explore the impact of empowering leadership on employee innovative job performance through dualistic work stress. This framework enhances our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of empowering leadership and the antecedent factors influencing employee well-being and innovative performance. Furthermore, by examining the role of employees’ regulatory focus, this study clarifies the boundary conditions of empowering leadership effectiveness, addressing inconsistencies in previous research findings.

Authors: Rout Lulu , Acharya Shubhasmita 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
Plagiarism can occur in research in various ways, whether intentionally or unintentionally. This study aims to assess the role of YouTube in providing information and creating awareness about plagiarism through videos. It also investigates the topics related to plagiarism covered in YouTube videos and evaluates viewer satisfaction with the content provided.

Design/methodology/approach
Using the software Webometric Analyst and various search strings, a total of 526 YouTube videos and 18,050 comments were retrieved on April 23, 2023. The “syuzhet” package has been installed on R-studio to comprehend the sentiment associated with the videos.

Findings
The greatest number of videos (184) were submitted describing plagiarism software-related information, followed by 122 videos describing examples of plagiarism. The sentiment analysis of viewers’ associated comments revealed that the majority (111.36 %) were positive, indicating that viewers are satisfied with the available videos.

Research limitations/implications
This study has potential limitations. The number of videos assigned to each content category may be biased to some extent because the videos were not fully viewed and the content categories were assigned manually by analyzing the video title. While analyzing comments for sentiment analysis, some comments are difficult for the software to assign a type of sentiment to, so the percentage of sentiment may be slightly biased.

Originality/value
All data used in this research are original and verified manually. The data for this study was obtained using software (Webometric Analyst) and cross-checked on a regular basis. The titles of the videos were individually inspected and evaluated to analyze the content and emphasis area of previously posted films. This allows the authors to identify the areas of plagiarism when no or few videos have been submitted.
Electroosmosis-modulated Darcy–Brinkman flow in sinusoidal microfluidic pipe: an analytical approach
Authors: Rana Amalendu 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This investigation is devoted to analyze the electroosmotic flow characteristics in a sinusoidal micropipe through a porous medium. This study aims to investigate the impact of surface waviness on Darcy–Brinkman flow in the presence of electroosmotic force, achieved through the unification of perturbation techniques.

Design/methodology/approach
Analytical approximate solutions for the governing flow equations are obtained through the utilization of a perturbation method.

Findings
The analytical study reveals that the periodic roughness on the surface of the micropipe generates periodic disturbances not only in the potential fields but also in the velocity profiles. An increase in the relative waviness of the pipe leads to the generation of corresponding waviness within the boundary layers of the flow. Surface waviness reduces the average velocity by increasing frictional resistance, while higher Darcy numbers and electroosmotic parameters lead to higher velocities by reducing flow resistance and enhancing electrokinetic forces, respectively. In addition, the presence of waviness introduces higher flow resistivity, contributing to an overall increase in the friction factor. Higher permeability in porous media induces boundary-layer reverse flows, resulting in elevated flow resistivity.

Originality/value
The current findings offer valuable insights for researchers in biomedical engineering and related fields. The author’s discoveries have the potential to drive advancements in microfluidic systems, benefiting various domains. These include optimizing drug delivery in biomedical devices, improving blood filtration applications and enhancing the efficiency of fluid transport in porous media for engineering applications.
Overqualification in the socialization context: how being relatively qualified leads to leadership emergence
Authors: Bai Jingyi , Zhao Xinyuan (Roy) , Huan Tzung-Cheng , Leong Aliana Man Wai 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
Building on the social capital theory of career success (SCT), this paper aims to explore how and when newcomers’ overqualifications can grant them positions as informal leaders within the workgroup over time.

Design/methodology/approach
The model was tested using a social relations modeling analysis conducted using a three-wave survey with 242 newcomers in Macau.

Findings
The results support the view that relatively qualified newcomers can enjoy social capital advantages in workgroup networks. Newcomers’ desired qualifications can grant them positions as informal leaders through leader–member exchange and advice network centrality. These relationships are moderated by relational dissimilarity, such that the benefits of being relatively overqualified will be weakened when relational dissimilarity is high (vs. low).

Practical implications
When assisting overqualified newcomers in integrating into their teams, practitioners shall be aware of the time and resources that new hires require for adjustment, especially when significant newcomer–veteran relational dissimilarity exists.

Originality/value
The present paper challenges the overtly detrimental outcomes of overqualification by highlighting the positive relational implications of being relatively overqualified.

However, they introduced innovations tailored to their local demands. This study spotlights the distinctive character of management education in Latin America, emphasizing a robust humanistic component.
A fisheye image correction method based on deep learning
Authors: Gai Shuli , Cui Wenhua , Liang Bodong 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
Fisheye camera is a wide-angle camera with a large field of view, which can obtain more information than conventional cameras, but its own disadvantage of large distortion can lead to shape distortion of objects in the captured image. To correct lens distortion, most scholars use manual calibration methods. The traditional manual calibration method relies on complex data computation and specialized mathematical knowledge, but the method is complex and not universal. Considering the nonlinear features of neural networks can be used to fit the nonlinear distortion of distorted images, this paper aims to correct the distortion of a fisheye image based on convolutional neural networks.

Design/methodology/approach
By generating fisheye distortion images using readily available cityscape road data sets, this paper designs an effective correction model by taking advantage of the fact that the relationship between the pixel coordinates is basically stable after uniform distortion. In our training process, the corresponding distortion is firstly synthesized using the original image, the loss function is constructed using the geometric means of the Hough transform, the whole model is then trained with the help of the loss of the linear slope, and finally the predicted parameters are used to correct the fisheye image, which realizes the overall end-to-end framework.

Findings
Experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper outperforms similar methods in terms of correction performance.

Originality/value
This paper proposed a fisheye distortion correction algorithm based on convolutional neural network, which uses distortion-free images based on a generalized fisheye imaging model and maps to generate a fisheye distortion picture data set. It also builds a loss function training model based on line reconstruction error loss of Hough transforms.

Authors: Brož Václav 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to examine the impact of enforcement actions by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on the valuation of major crypto assets.

Design/methodology/approach
Given the recent increase in regulatory efforts to combat fraudulent activity within the market, the paper concentrates on the period from 2019 to 2023 and uses the event study approach.

Findings
The analysis reveals a negative and economically significant effect of SEC actions on crypto valuations, ranging from −0.7% to −1.4% over a three-day window surrounding the announcement of enforcement actions for the entire sample. Particularly, a pronounced negative reaction is observed from crypto investors to SEC enforcement actions in 2022 and those where individuals are charged.

Originality/value
The findings align with existing literature, even though the study uses more conservative methodological approaches and data selection criteria. Specifically, the author uses a market event study model, account for potential confounding events, and use initial news reports about investigations rather than official SEC communications as event dates.

Survey on forensic DNA biology training in forensic science service laboratories in the United States
Authors: Elkins Kelly M. , Joseph Shervonne , Skrant Cassandra 
Published: November 2024

AbstractTraining is an essential component of onboarding new hires in forensic science service provider (FSSP) laboratories. There are several DNA training standards published by the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) Academy Standards Board (ASB) American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredited framework. In this study, we conducted a survey of forensic DNA laboratory training programs to better understand training activities and materials. The survey was approved by the IRB and emailed to forensic laboratory directors, assistant directors, and/or DNA technical leaders and responses were submitted by them or their designees. Over thirty leaders and stakeholders responded. In this article, we report on the results of the survey. Respondents indicated that training activities included readings, writing assignments and quizzes, shadowing analysts, and mock casework and that training is documented and is a collaborative effort of the technical leader, unit supervisor, advanced forensic scientists, and other analysts and technicians. Laboratories assess competency using multiple methods including performance on mock casework, report writing, laboratory practical and competency tests, and a mock trial and testimony. The top three training activities reported are hands‐on practice, shadowing, and readings. The top three focuses of the training are laboratory techniques (extraction, quantitation, amplification, and capillary electrophoresis), STR typing, and mixture analysis. Ethics violations and failure to pass the competency tests and mock trial, even after remediation, are the top reasons new hires fail training. Finally, the top items respondents would like to spend more time offering training on are troubleshooting, validation, and root cause analysis.

AbstractSweet potatoes have been the focus of study due to their nutritional content, as they are considered a food that can help reduce malnutrition owing to their energy contribution. In addition, they serve as a source of other compounds with biological activity that can offer health benefits. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of baking temperature on the physicochemical properties and bioactive compounds of sweet potato snacks and to analyze the kinetics for these variables during the process as a function of temperature and time. Fracturability (F), water activity (aw), color variables (L*, a*, and b*), total color difference (ΔE), ascorbic acid (AA), phenolic compounds (PC), and total carotenoids (TC) of raw and baked sweet potatoes at 100, 120, and 140°C were measured. The kinetics of moisture content ratio (X/X0), fracturability (F), water activity (aw), and total color difference (ΔE) were set up. Physicochemical analysis showed that higher baking temperatures led to softer texture with reduced water activity and significant color changes. Bioactive compounds: AA, PC, and TC exhibited a reduction with temperature. Despite these temperature‐induced reductions, significant retention of AA and partial retention of PC and TC for these nutrient and antioxidants were achieved. Kinetic analysis emphasized the dynamic nature of physicochemical transformations during baking, providing valuable insights for both the food industry and consumer acceptance.Practical ApplicationComprehending the kinetics of quality variables allows to understand the changes occurring in the food during the baking process. This knowledge enables the development of more efficient and controlled baking processes for producing healthier sweet potato snacks with characteristics that harmonize with consumers’ preferences.
