Assessing 3D printable density-graded lattice structures to minimize risk of tissue damage from compression-release stabilized sockets
Authors: Myers Jade , Phillips Daniel , Cormier Denis 
Published: November 2024

Background:
Pressure, shear stress, and friction can contribute to soft tissue damage experienced by a residual limb. Current compression/release stabilized (CRS) socket designs may pose a risk to soft tissue from abrupt compression differences within the socket.

Objectives:

Density-graded lattice structures are investigated for their potential to mitigate risk of tissue damage by assessing their ability to produce more gradual transitions between high-compression and low-compression areas.

Study Design:

A full factorial experimental design was used to reveal the effects of changes among three variables: lattice geometry, density alteration, and displacement magnitude. A total of 144 experimental conditions were examined.

Methods:
Lattice samples representing areas of compression and release based on a novel cushioned transhumeral level CRS style socket design were 3D printed. Compression testing was performed on 2 types of lattice structures which incorporated 1 of 8 design elements to alter density and axial stiffness. The effect on stiffness of the sample as a function of lattice type and density alteration was recorded under 3 loading conditions.

Results:
The offset diamond lattice type with blend radius density alterations produced the only samples meeting criteria set for compression areas of the socket. No samples satisfied criteria for release areas. Transitional density lattices that gradually tapered between the best performing compression and release values were successfully produced.

Conclusions:
Transitional density lattices offer promise for mitigation of soft tissue damage through minimization of compression differentials throughout the socket. Wider implications for this research include use in sockets for other levels of amputation and in orthotics. Future work will focus on lattice optimization to improve release behavior within a modified CRS socket.

Measuring deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) on the neutron is one of the necessary steps to understand the structure of the nucleon in terms of generalized parton distributions (GPDs). Neutron targets play a complementary role to transversely polarized proton targets in the determination of the GPD E. This poorly known and poorly constrained GPD is essential to obtain the contribution of the quarks’ angular momentum to the spin of the nucleon. DVCS on the neutron was measured for the first time selecting the exclusive final state by detecting the neutron, using the Jefferson Lab longitudinally polarized electron beam, with energies up to 10.6 GeV, and the CLAS12 detector. The extracted beam-spin asymmetries, combined with DVCS observables measured on the proton, allow a clean quark-flavor separation of the imaginary parts of the Compton form factors H and E.

Authors: Li Jiyuan , Chen Jiangping 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to understand the characteristics and contributions of the secure and trustworthy cyberspace (SaTC) projects funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). These research projects were funded during the period of 2015–2023.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors applied a data analytics approach to proposal records of 1,025 NSF SaTC projects. These records were downloaded from the NSF proposal database via its search function. The analysis includes bibliometric analysis, shallow natural language processing and manual content analysis.

Findings
About 11 NSF divisions or units have sponsored SaTC research. About 214 universities or organizations in 44 states received SaTC funds. The key concepts of these projects include adversarial attacks, cryptography, cloud computing, internet of things, differential privacy, mobile devices and others. These projects were motivated by a lack of understanding or investigation of one or more technologies in the cybersecurity domain or the inefficacy of existing tools or algorithms. The objectives of these proposals included providing new insights and developing new tools, methods, frameworks, training courses and organizing workshops with support for workshop attendees. Among the funded projects, 60.82% proposed providing educational materials that would be beneficial to K-12 students, college students and the public.

Research limitations/implications
The present data range from 2015 to May 2023. New projects awarded after May 2023 were not included.

Practical implications
The findings provide rich and useful information for the funding agency, SaTC researchers and students. The funding agency may want to review their funding focus and fund distributions; SaTC researchers could refer to the topics and the objectives discussed in funded proposals when developing their new projects; and students at all levels could refer to SaTC topics, participating researchers and institutions for their learning.

Originality/value
This study is the first attempt, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, to analyze NSF SaTC projects. The analysis benefits researchers and students to gain an understanding of NSF-funded projects and insights into secure and trustworthy cyberspace areas.

Liminality between the lines: self-defined, socially constructed and ontological constraints in the narratives of Russian-medium school teachers in Estonia
Authors: Zaichenko Liudmila 
Published: November 2024

PurposeThis study explores the segregated context of Estonian education systems, where Estonian and Russian medium schools coexist. Using the underrepresented theory of liminality in sociology, the author examines the vulnerable positions of teachers in Russian-medium schools.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs a qualitative research design with semi-structured interviews as the main method, the snowball sampling technique of data collection and a hybrid thematic analysis. The sample includes 27 teachers from around Estonia.FindingsThe findings reveal that these teachers experience different forms of liminality, shaped by self-defined, socially constructed and ontological constraints. These liminal moments foster teacher reflexivity, serving as a catalyst for their transformations while navigating the state of “in-betweenness.”Practical implicationsPractically, as Estonia continues to navigate its educational reforms and cultural shifts, recognizing and addressing the liminality of Russian-medium school teachers is crucial for promoting diversity, equity and inclusion within the nation’s educational landscape.Originality/valueThe study brings theoretical novelty to the anthropological theory of liminality, combining it with a new empirical case of the Estonian parallel education system, which had been under-explored from the side of the Russian-speaking community (particularly the Russian-medium schools).
Succession and real earnings management in family businesses: is socioemotional wealth a predictor for Cooking the Books?
Authors: Flambures Beth A. 
Published: November 2024

PurposeEarnings management is a practice that is detrimental to future business viability. For family businesses, viability in the form of succession, continues to be difficult. The motivation to use earnings management is different in family businesses as they have unique pressures and characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to identify if the level of socioemotional wealth in a family business impacts real earnings management behavior during succession. The goal is to better understand what impacts the use of real earnings management for family businesses so that it can be curtailed, enhancing future business viability and successful generational transfer.Design/methodology/approachA sample of 200 small and medium size business owners participated in an experiment. Binary logistic regression was used to identify any relationship between SEW, succession and REM.FindingsThis study finds that socioemotional wealth and succession impact real earnings management behavior in family firms. When succession is not present, the study finds that companies with high socioemotional wealth are less likely to engage in real earnings management than low socioemotional wealth companies. However, when succession is present, the engagement in REM for companies with low socioemotional wealth drops significantly while the behavior of those with high socioemotional does not materially change.Practical implicationsUnderstanding how to position a family business for succession realization is important. We do not know exactly what factors impact the failure rate but identifying how facets of the businesses (SEW and succession) might impact REM and ultimately financial performance will be important to small and medium-sized family business owners in the US as they begin their succession journey.Originality/valueThe study’s experimental design using participants in a US family business, offers an opportunity to better understand this critical portion of the economy and the variables that potentially impact real earnings management decisions. It contributes to the literature by offering potential reasons behind the conflicting findings on REM in family businesses and the impact of SEW on earnings management. It offers a unique view of behavior within different family businesses as opposed to a comparison often found in the literature between family and non-family firms. It also contributes to a gap in literature for US small to medium family businesses.

Authors: Han Heesup , Kim Seongseop (Sam) , Baah Nancy Grace , Quan Lanji , Al-Ansi Amr , Chi Xiaoting 
Published: November 2024

PurposeThe investigation on the complexity of customer retention towards green products/services requires more solid analytical approaches. This study evaluated the net effects of antecedents of customer retention and the validity of configurational causal recipes that lead to customer retention in the green hotel context.Design/methodology/approachThis study combined structural equation modeling (SEM), a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) and a necessary condition analysis (NCA). An online survey was conducted in China to evaluate the green hotel consumption.FindingsResearch findings showed that cognitive factors (perceived health benefits, green product performance, responsible employee performance and green physical environment performance) and affective factors (emotional well-being, feeling of happiness, attractiveness of green product and feeling of pride), played a distinctive role in generating customer retention toward green hotel products. The NCA found no factor was essential in order to achieve customer retention, which indicates that green hotel performance and brand management should pay more attention to emotional factors alongside cognitive factors.Practical implicationsResearch findings provide significant managerial implications for improving green hotel services and business operations and enhancing consumers’ approach intention toward green hotel products.Originality/valueThis study adopted mixed approaches to investigate both the linear and nonlinear impacts of cognitive and affective factors that potentially lead to customer retention for green hotel products.
Direct and indirect effects of authentic leadership and gender on occupational well-being: mediating role of perceived barriers to career advancement
Authors: Srivastava Atika , Dixit Shikha 
Published: November 2024

PurposeDue to dynamic work contexts, mid-level managers struggle to advance their careers in contemporary organisations. Literature has consistently showcased that leadership style and gender significantly impact subordinates’ career and work-related outcomes. This study investigates the relationship between authentic leadership, gender, perceived career barriers and occupational well-being.Design/methodology/approachUsing self-report questionnaires, we collected data from 198 mid-level managers employed in the information technology (IT) sector in Delhi-NCR. We tested two mediation models simultaneously, investigating the mediation of perceived career barriers on occupational well-being. Authentic leadership and gender were the predictors of the first and second models, respectively.FindingsAuthentic leadership was positively associated with occupational well-being but negatively with perceived career barriers. Perceived career barriers partially mediated the link between authentic leadership and occupational well-being. Gender had a significant impact on perceived career barriers. Finally, perceived career barriers fully mediated the association between gender and occupational well-being.Research limitations/implicationsThe study showed that perceived career barriers were predicted by authentic leadership perception. In the face of career-related obstacles, managers with authentic leaders tend to have better well-being at the workplace. Further, perceived career barriers are essential in the relationship between gender and occupational well-being. However, the context of India’s IT sector is unique; therefore, caution must be practised when generalising.Practical implicationsOrganisations must promote authentic leadership at the upper echelons. Such a leadership style helps reduce the hurdles for managers and improves their well-being. Furthermore, addressing gender-specific career barriers, such as lack of cultural fit, is the key to enhancing female managers’ well-being.Originality/valueWe turned towards positive psychology and utilised the construct of authentic leadership to address the issues of career barriers and diversity in IT organisations.
Empirical insights into the distress risk anomaly: evidence from India
Authors: Singh Pooja , Chakraborty Anindita 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to examine the relationship between financial distress risk and stock returns in the Indian context.

Design/methodology/approach
This is an empirical study wherein the Altman-Z score is used to identify the distressed and the non-distressed firms listed on Nifty 500. The author uses the Fama–French five-factor model to study the relationship between stock returns and distress risk. The study analyses the differences in the factor loadings among the portfolios sorted by distress. It evaluates if incorporating distress risk factors in conventional pricing models enhances the goodness of fit.

Findings
The study reported a positive relationship between the distress risk factor and stock returns in the distressed portfolios, signifying that distress risk is a systematic risk only for distressed portfolios. Furthermore, after including the financial distress risk premium, the observed fluctuations in the small-minus-big (SMB), high-minus-low (HML), RMW and CMA coefficients indicate a common association with distress risk-related information.

Originality/value
This study tests the Fama–French five factors for distress risk and examines its nature in asset pricing for emerging markets like India. The study examined the performance of the augmented Fama–French five-factor model across different sets of portfolios sorted based on distress.
‘Whitby Woman’, ‘Waitrose Woman’: Gender and Voting Behaviour at the 2024 UK General Election
Authors: Campbell Rosie , Fowler Ceri , Sanders Anna , Shorrocks Rosalind 
Published: November 2024

AbstractWomen were identified as key targets in the 2024 British general election. There was much speculation as to whether ‘Whitby’ or ‘Waitrose’ women would swing the result for Labour. This interest in women voters stemmed, at least partially, from the fact that the 2017 and 2019 British general elections were the first where a modern gender gap—a greater proportion of women voting Labour than men and a greater proportion of men voting Conservative than women—was evident in the UK. This article assesses whether the parties’ attempts to target women voters were successful and whether a modern gender gap was a feature of the 2024 general election. Moving beyond analysis of the traditional two largest parties and their associated gender gaps, it is discussed how the gender gap in the UK might be changing as the party system fragments, with a smaller Labour‐Conservative gap, but a large left‐right gap persisting.
