Authors: Pınar İzgi Zehra 
Published: October 2024

PurposeIn the literature, soliton solutions of the Heimburg–Jackson model have been proposed by Drab et al. (2022), but for the considered models, i.e. Eq.(1) and Eq.(2), the existence of solitons, the dispersion analysis and the pseudospectral method have been studied (Engelbrecht et al., 2006, 2018, 2020; Tamm et al., 2017, 2022; Peets et al., 2013). Therefore, the gap should be filled by this work.Design/methodology/approachWhen nonlinear terms, dissipative terms and forcing terms are ignored, the system (Eq.(2)) reduces to a single, sixth-order partial differential equation (Tamm et al., 2022). In this work, our aim is to propose analytical solutions in the explicit form via ansatz-based method. Therefore, the parameter effects in wave profile will be proposed clearly in figures.FindingsWhile progress has been made in signal propagation in nerves, thanks to many experimental studies and theoretical predictions over the last two centuries, the results obtained in this study may answer new questions that arise.Originality/valueIn the literature, the existence of solitons, dispersion analysis and pseudospectral method have been investigated for the Heimburg-Jackson model (Engelbrecht et al., 2006, 2018, 2020; Tamm et al., 2017, 2022; Peets et al., 2013), and this study fills the gap in soliton solutions. Additionally, when nonlinear terms, dissipative term and forcing terms are ignored, the system (Eq.(2)) reduced to a single equation that is sixth-order partial differential equation (Tamm et al., 2022). In this work, our aim is to propose analytical solutions in the explicit form via ansatz-based method. Therefore, the parameter effects in wave profile will be proposed clearly in figures.

Published: October 2024

PurposeDespite the knowledge transfer in project contexts which has been extensively studied by scholars, the study on inter-organizational knowledge transfer in international construction projects is still scattered and unsystematic. This research aims to explore the key factors influencing inter-organizational knowledge transfer of international construction projects and analyze how these factors interact to create a synthetic framework that enhances the effectiveness of knowledge transfer (EKT).Design/methodology/approachAt first, eight factors influencing inter-organizational knowledge transfer within international construction projects were identified, which were from the four dimensions of subject, relationship, channel and context, namely cultural distance, connection strength, organizational climate, intercultural competence, information technology capability, transmit willingness, receive willingness and richness of transfer channels. Then, a conceptual model was developed and 13 hypotheses were formulated, which were derived from a literature review and in-depth survey. After that, data from 353 respondents were collected and analyzed, and the hypotheses were tested by structural equation modeling analysis and bootstrapping test.FindingsThe results suggest that cultural distance hinders transfer willingness, which further affects EKT. Connection strength affects EKT by positively influencing transfer willingness and channel. Besides, organizational climate and intercultural competence positively influence transfer willingness and further affect EKT, while information technology capability affects the richness of transfer channels.Originality/valueThis research gives a thorough examination of the determinants influencing inter-organizational knowledge transfer of international construction projects, thus formulating available approaches that project managers and personnel can employ to effectively facilitate EKT.

Authors: Çelik Halil İbrahim , Tekin İbrahim Halil , Tekin Perihan , Çağlayan Ali , Saycan Serdar 
Published: October 2024

PurposeIn this study, both flame retardancy and sustainability properties were combined in the chenille yarn so that functional and sustainable upholstery fabrics can be produced with optimum energy consumption. The chenille yarn samples were produced from recycled polyester (rPET)-blended binder yarns and fully drawn yarn (FDY) polyester pile yarn. While the pile component of the chenille samples was kept constant, the lock yarns were manufactured as 50% r-PET-50% virgin polyester (PES), 100% r-PET and 100% PES. The binder yarns were also produced in two groups. In the first group, a 2-passage draw frame was used, while a 3-passage draw frame was used in the second group. The chenille yarn samples were applied flame-retardant (FR) finishing.Design/methodology/approachThe knitted upholstery fabric samples were produced from chenille yarn samples via flat knitting machines. The knitted fabrics were applied flame retardancy, bursting strength and abrasion resistance tests according to related standards.FindingsThe test results were analysed, and so the effect of r-PET ratio and draw frame passage number on upholstery fabric flame retardancy, bursting strength and abrasion resistance performance properties were revealed. It was concluded that the number of draw frame passages and the recycled fibre content have no important effect on the flame retardancy. On the other hand, it has been observed that the bursting strength decreases as the recycled fibre content increases and bursting distention results are close to each other. It was seen that the draw frame passage number has no significant effect on both bursting strength and distention. It was revealed that both r-PET fibre content and draw frame passage number have significant effect on abrasion resistance. The samples with 2 draw frame passages provide higher abrasion resistance compared to those with 3 draw frame passage. The lowest abrasion resistance was obtained with 100% r-PET fibre content and the highest abrasion resistance was obtained with 50% r-PET-50% PES.Originality/valueThe results will provide enough knowledge for sustainable chenille yarn design. The recycled fibre content and draw frame passage number can be optimised, and so sustainable chenille yarns can be produced with less energy consumption. Future studies will involve producing chenille yarns with different linear densities and varying draw frame combinations, such as 1, 2 and 3 passages.

Published: October 2024

Purpose
The world is reeling from the effects of climate change with increased extreme precipitation. Flooding is amongst the most recurring and devastating natural hazards, impacting human lives and causing severe economic damage. This paper aims to conduct a systematic review to critically analyse the most reported and emerging flood disaster resilience indicators.

Design/methodology/approach
A total of 35 papers were selected through a systematic process using both Web of Science and Scopus databases. The selected literature was subjected to a thorough thematic content analysis.

Findings
From the review, 77 emerging flood disaster resilience assessment indicators were identified. Furthermore, based on the individual meanings and relationships of the derived indicators, they were further categorized into six groups, namely, physical, institutional, social, psychological, ecology and economic. More also, it was identified that most of the selected publications have used objective resilience measurement approaches as opposed to subjective resilience measurement approaches.

Originality/value
The generated list of flood disaster resilience indicators will provide insights into the capacities which can be improved to enhance the overall resilience to flood disasters in communities.
Beyond bars: the confining nature of hegemonic masculinity in venture accelerators
Authors: Schoonmaker Mary G. , MacNeil HeatherJean , McAdam Maura 
Published: October 2024

PurposeThis paper investigates the intersectionality of entrepreneurial masculinity within the context of venture accelerators. As such, it aims to shed light on how intersecting factors influence the construction and expression of masculinity among male entrepreneurs in venture accelerators.Design/methodology/approachThis research is based on an in-depth analysis of four distinct accelerator cohort groups, employing a semi-structured interview approach. Interviewees were conducted with four accelerator managers and 52 male accelerator participants across four distinct accelerator cohort groups. Such a methodological choice is deemed instrumental in unravelling the nuanced dynamics within accelerator environments and their implications on hegemonic masculinity.FindingsThis study elucidates the nuanced ways in which men navigate the venture accelerator landscape. The findings revealed that the accelerator environment facilitated the reinforcement of traditional masculine behaviours. Whilst diversity was ostensibly valued, its acceptance decreased if it posed a challenge to male dominance or stereotypical masculine traits. Indeed, there was marginalisation of nontraditional expressions of masculinity, leading to a sense of “othering”.Originality/valueBy integrating intersectionality theory into the examination of masculine dynamics within venture accelerator contexts, this study expands current understanding of venture accelerator environments and their effects on both traditional and nontraditional forms of hegemonic masculinity. In particular, we highlight the impact of non-intersectional institutional norms on male entrepreneurs who deviate from traditional stereotypes. As such, we advance the understanding of venture accelerators by examining how they perpetuate and reinforce traditional masculine norms, even in environments that strive for diversity.

Published: October 2024

PurposeThis study aims to validate the 17-item Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-17) within Public Primary Healthcare Centers, addressing the need for a reliable measure of work engagement among health workers.Design/methodology/approachThis study conducted a validity and reliability analysis of the UWES-17 among community health workers in Chile, exploring its psychometric properties and structure, focusing on its three-factor structure and examining the causal relationships between work engagement dimensions.FindingsThe UWES-17 demonstrated a valid and reliable three-factor structure among Chilean health workers, with a significant construct dependence among its dimensions –vigor, dedication and absorption – highlighting their interrelated nature.Research limitations/implicationsWhile validated for community health workers in Chile, the UWES-17’s applicability across healthcare settings and professions warrants further investigation.Practical implicationsThe validated UWES-17 can guide human resource practices in assessing and enhancing work engagement among health workers, potentially improving employee well-being and performance.Social implicationsAddressing work engagement and burnout among health workers is vital for a resilient healthcare system. This validated measure contributes to efforts to improve health worker well-being and healthcare service quality.Originality/valueThis study contributes a validated measure of work engagement specifically tailored to public primary healthcare centers, offering valuable insights for future research on health workers' well-being and performance. This research enhances the understanding of organizational dynamics within public healthcare settings.
The impact of marketing leaders on firm’s market orientation: evidence from a small emerging economy
Authors: Mac Lancy , Lee Jimmy C.M. 
Published: October 2024

PurposeThis study seeks to investigate the impact of marketing leaders in (in terms of marketing education, experience and knowledge/skills) generating firm capabilities (market orientation) necessary to compete in a small emerging economy.Design/methodology/approachA survey was conducted with top marketing executives in Macau. Questionnaires were disturbed to and completed online by 125 top marketing executives from various industrial sectors in Macau. Structural equation modeling was employed to test the hypotheses.FindingsResults suggest that top marketing executives with marketing-specific education and functional marketing skills allow them to foster an overall market orientation of the firm. Marketing experience as well as other types of skills, however, are found to be unrelated to market orientation. Results also show a positive relationship between market orientation and firm performance.Originality/valueThis study seeks to address the void in the current literature which focus mainly on the mere presence of top marketing executive in generating favorable outcome with insufficient attention given to how this persona can play a key role in firms. While there is empirical evidence in the developed markets, this study aims to explicate the important role of marketing leaders in a small economy which is understudied. By showing that marketing leaders can actualize their benefits through the cultivation of market orientation of firms, this study also strive to address the call for more research in investigating the antecedents of market orientation.
The compounding effect of mandatory GHG emissions disclosure and voluntary ESG disclosure on firm value in Korea
Authors: Kim Sangil , Kim Kimin 
Published: October 2024

PurposeThis study attempts to examine the effect of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disclosure and its compounding effect with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure on firm value in Korea. This study focuses on the unique institutional setting in Korea that implements mandatory GHG emissions disclosure and voluntary ESG disclosure.Design/methodology/approachUsing a dataset comprising 25,968 firm-year observations from publicly listed Korean firms from 2000 to 2021, we applied an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model to test hypotheses.FindingsThe results show that, in a voluntary disclosure regime, ESG disclosure has a positive impact, whereas in a mandatory disclosure regime, GHG emissions disclosure has a negative impact on firm value. The results also indicate that when a firm discloses both its GHG emissions and ESG performance information, the voluntary disclosure of ESG information synergistically mitigates the adverse effects of mandatory disclosure of GHG emissions information. This synergy contributes significantly to enhancing the firm’s overall value. The findings indicate that a firm can enhance its value by proactively disclosing ESG information, especially when it is compulsorily required to report GHG emissions data.Originality/valueThis study investigated the effect of corporate non-financial disclosure on firm value by shedding light on the differential attributes between voluntary and mandatory disclosures and between quantitative and qualitative information.
Suspicious activity reporting in emerging economies: the case of Iran
Authors: Imeny Vahid Molla , Norton Simon D. , Moradi Mahdi , Salehi Mahdi 
Published: October 2024

PurposeCountries with high levels of corruption can experience collusion between powerful elites and accountants to conceal, disguise and clean the proceeds of criminality. This study investigates the willingness of accountants to report evidence of money laundering in an emerging economy, Iran, notwithstanding potential personal and professional risks implicit in such due diligence. It evaluates the relevance of personal characteristics of accountants to the propensity to report, and the implications for policy makers in terms of audit team composition.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology is quantitative. Data was gathered by means of a suspicious activity scenario-based questionnaire administered to 1,128 of Certified Public Accountants in Iran, of which 281 responses were received. Four hypotheses were tested relating to the implications, if any, of gender, age, education and working experience for the propensity to report red flags indicative of money laundering.FindingsData revealed that accountants were generally more willing to report activity indicative of money laundering than was anticipated in an environment perceived to be characterised by professional and personal risks. Older accountants are more risk averse and more likely to report suspicious activity than younger counterparts who tend to disregard borderline indicators of money laundering. A significant red flag indicator of money laundering is a client's reluctance to provide information regarding controlling shareholders, debtors and creditors or to explain contrived and opaque corporate structures. Audit teams may be more effective when gender-balanced: female accountants tend to be more willing to report suspicious activity than male counterparts, reducing the risk of interference by powerful elites.Research limitations/implicationsThe time frame over which the research was conducted was a single year; if it had been conducted over several years it may have revealed more nuanced and evolving reporting behaviour. The study was limited to Iran: a cross-comparison with another emerging economy or economies may have revealed useful contrasts.Originality/valueThe study contributes to behavioural accounting research in emerging economies. Limited empirical data is available regarding the influence of personal characteristics of accountants on their willingness to report suspicious activity in corrupt environments where personal safety and professional security may be at risk from powerful elites. It evaluates the implications of these for suspicious activity reporting policy, and for improving the effectiveness of the scrutineering role of audit teams. An innovative questionnaire was designed which may be suitable for future comparable research in emerging economies.
