Authors: Rosyidi Luthfi Nur , Sukoco Badri Munir , Mawardi Imron , Aslan Hakan 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
Changes are required to improve the performance of Sharia banking in Indonesia. Using dynamic capability theory, this study aims to analyze organizational learning, change process and change context (OCC) in Bank Syariah Indonesia as influenced by market orientation (competitor and customer orientation) and moderated by religiosity and its impact on organizational performance (Maqashid Sharia) using a multilevel perspective.

Design/methodology/approach
To test the hypothesis, this research surveyed by distributing online questionnaires to managers and employees at 62 branch offices of Bank Syariah, the largest Sharia bank in Indonesia. Data processing involved multilevel structural equational modeling with Mplus analysis software.

Findings
Market orientation determines an organization’s ability to change significantly, which leads to organizational performance being significantly moderated by religiosity. In OCC, organizational learning influences change context through change processes, ultimately influencing organizational performance (Maqashid Sharia).

Originality/value
This research used a multilevel perspective by combining market orientation and OCC variables moderated by religiosity and its impact on Maqashid Sharia. This study was conducted at the largest Sharia bank in Indonesia, Bank Syariah Indonesia.
Boosting the efficacy of green accounting for better firm performance: artificial intelligence and accounting quality as moderators
Authors: Khan Shaizy , Gupta Seema 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This study aims to deepen our understanding of how conventional technologies and robust accounting education standards can impact the effectiveness of green accounting practices in enhancing firm performance. To achieve this, the paper explores the moderating effects of artificial intelligence (AI) and accounting education quality on the relationship between green accounting and firm performance.

Design/methodology/approach
Using generalized method of moments estimation, this research uses a comprehensive dataset comprising 32,680 firm-year observations of listed companies from ten prominent countries – Canada, the UK, the USA, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, South Korea and Italy – over the period from 2012 to 2022. These countries, selected based on their high gross domestic product rankings as reported by the International Monetary Fund, ensure a diverse representation of economic strengths and capture a wide range of green accounting practices.

Findings
The study shows that green accounting practices positively impact current firm performance. Country-level AI positively moderates this relationship, suggesting that advanced AI infrastructure enhances the benefits of green accounting through improved data accuracy and decision-making. However, country-level accountancy education quality negatively moderates the relationship, indicating that stringent implementation of green accounting standards in these regions may introduce complexities and costs that reduce firm performance.

Practical implications
Integrating AI enhances data processing, predictive analytics and decision-making, improving green accounting effectiveness. High-quality accounting education ensures accurate reporting and greater transparency. These insights, when applied, can empower businesses to optimize sustainability strategies, assist policymakers in developing targeted regulations and guide educators in preparing accountants for the evolving demands of green accounting.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to explore the combined moderating effects of AI and accounting education quality on the relationship between green accounting and firm performance. By highlighting the synergistic role of digital innovation and robust educational standards, this research offers novel insights into how these factors can enhance the effectiveness of green accounting practices and improve financial outcomes.
New eco-friendly succinimide linseed oil resin: synthesis, characterization, DFT and docking studies for surface coating
Authors: Ali Ola A. Abu , Elsawy M.M. , El-Henawy Ahmed A. 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to develop a new protective coating formulation for industrial use, using new eco-friendly succinimide linseed oil resin.

Design/methodology/approach
Epoxidized linseed oil and N-(4-hydroxy phenyl) succinimide are reacted to create succinimide-modified epoxy (SIE) compounds. The synthesized compound was confirmed by different analyses, gas chromatography, Fourier transform infrared, proton nuclear magnetic resonance and scanning electron microscopy. The prepared compound has been blended with a primer paint formulation, then their physical and mechanical properties have been studied. Density function theory is used to calculate Frontier molecular orbital including highest occupied molecular orbital and least unoccupied molecular orbital to indicate the charge transfer from molecule to biological media and molecular electrostatic potential map was used to indicate the chemically reactive zone suitable for drug action.

Findings
The results of the paint formulation confirmed their best performance and provided good mechanical properties and high chemical and corrosion resistance.

Research limitations/implications
Resin compounds are the most used antimicrobial additives. Other functionalities of these compounds, such as corrosion inhibitors, might be studied to see if they are suited for these applications.

Practical implications
Because of the efficiency of the SIE when incorporated with primer, paint against microbial has also been examined in silico using the docking study which contributed to the analysis of their protein binding. This type of epoxy compound is environmentally friendly and can be used as a biocide with different paint formulations. As a result, paint compositions including this compound as additives can be used as dual-purpose paint and for a variety of industrial applications.

Originality/value
This research demonstrates how a low-cost paint composition based on synthesized SIE compounds may be used as a dual-function paint for industrial use.
Does tour guides’ ethical behavior matter for tourists’ revisit and recommendation intentions? Examining with a gender perspective
Authors: Eren Aslı Sultan , Dedeoğlu Bekir Bora , Okumus Fevzi 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the impact of tour guides’ ethical behavior on tourist satisfaction, intention to revisit and to recommend and examine whether gender plays a moderating role in these relationships.

Design/methodology/approach
The study was conducted in the Cappadocia Destination in Turkiye. A total of 910 participants were included in the study. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method was used to examine the research model in this study.

Findings
The study results indicate that the ethical behavior of tour guides has a significant impact on tourists’ satisfaction with the tour, satisfaction with the tour guide, recommendation intention and revisit intention. Furthermore, the study found that the effect of ethical behavior on these outcomes was more pronounced among male tourists than female tourists.

Research limitations/implications
Despite the tourists’ satisfaction, they may want to remember the experience using mental time travel, and they may fear not having the same positive experience during any revisits. Tour guides should be given continuous training on the concept of professional ethics throughout their education and professional life. The factors causing higher ethical perceptions in male tourists than female tourists may be examined in further studies (i.e. marital status).

Originality/value
The research fills an important gap in the literature by shedding light on the significance of ethical behavior in the context of tour guides, a topic that has received relatively little attention. In particular, the results obtained reveal the originality of the study. Besides that, investigating the moderating role of gender and determining the behavioral intentions of male and female individuals according to the ethical behaviors of tour guides are important for the future of Cappadocia tourism.
Risk factors for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism: a comparative study between acute hospital care and mental health inpatient settings for older people
Authors: Chari Damodar , Sawhney Ina , Mukaetova-Ladinska Elizabeta , Beishon Lucy , Subramaniam Hari 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This study aims to establish if risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in older hospitalized psychiatric patients differ from geriatric inpatients and if the current risk assessment tools being used are suitable.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors undertook a single centre retrospective review of 75 records for presence of predetermined risk factors. In total, 55 discharged patients with thrombotic events within geriatric settings were compared with 20 from mental health settings. Differences in risk factors were determined using t-test and Fisher’s exact test.

Findings
VTE patients in geriatric units were older and had reduced mobility. Psychiatric patients were more likely to be dehydrated and treated with psychotropics. Whilst rates of VTE screening were comparable in both settings, geriatric inpatients were more frequently prescribed thromboprophylaxis.

Research limitations/implications
Older psychiatric inpatients differ from those in medical/surgical settings in their profiles and risk factors for VTE. Approaches for VTE risk management also differed.

Practical implications
The study suggests the need for VTE screening tools and treatment protocols specific to older psychiatric settings.

Social implications
Targeted approaches may improve outcomes specific to each group.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first attempt in comparing VTE risk factors across acute physical health care and mental health settings.
Civility, honour and male aggression in early modern English jestbooks
Authors: Somers Tim 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis article discusses the comical representation of inter‐male violence within early modern English jestbooks. It is based on a rigorous survey of the genre, picking out common themes and anecdotes, as well as discussing their reception and sociable functions. Previous scholarship has focused on patriarchs, subversive youths and impoliteness. This article instead argues that common jests about false honour and aggressive civility affirmed changing emotional norms regulating anger and violence. It discusses continuities in masculinities and politeness and outlines a register of wit, or ‘civil mirth’, that ridiculed public quarrelling and modelled scripts based upon self‐control and ‘good humour’.
Lufenuron affects the fecundity of Panonychus citri by regulating the methyl farnesoate–ponasterone A network

Published: November 2024

AbstractIn insects, the juvenile hormone (JH) and 20‐hydroxyecdysone (20E) pathways jointly regulate fecundity, but only methyl farnesoate (MF) and ponasterone A exist in mites. Comparative transcriptomic analysis in Panonychus citri showed that E75B was significantly downregulated when exposed to lufenuron. Knockdown of E75B significantly affects the expression of vitellogenin (Vg), Fushi tarazu factor 1 (Ftz‐f1) and juvenile hormone acid O‐methyltransferase (JHAMT), reducing fecundity in mites. The knockdown of Ftz‐f1 produced a more significant effect than the knockdown of E75B, indicating that the ponasterone A pathway positively regulates fecundity in P. citri. After the knockdown of JHAMT, the expression levels of both Vg and Ftz‐f1 and fecundity were significantly increased, along with the inhibition of Kr‐h1, suggesting that JHAMT was negatively correlated with fecundity in the regulatory network. Knockdown of Kr‐h1 inhibited the expression of Vg and Ftz‐f1 and fecundity, and whether the drop in fecundity is caused by Kr‐h1 or Ftz‐f1 is unclear. Subsequent feeding with MF induced Kr‐h1 and Vg expression, whereas no significant effects were observed for JHAMT and Ftz‐f1. Therefore, the MF pathway stimulates fecundity independently. RNA interference (RNAi) showed that JHAMT and Ftz‐f1 inhibited each other, resulting in opposite effects of MF and ponasterone A pathways on steady‐state fecundity when either factor changed. Meanwhile, JHAMT knockdown led to increased fecundity, indicating that the stimulating effect of the ponasterone A pathway was greater than the inhibiting effect of the MF pathway, and demonstrating the dominant role of the ponasterone A pathway. Therefore, the interaction between JHAMT and Ftz‐f1 may be closely associated with the maintenance of MF–ponasterone A regulatory network homeostasis and is involved in the reduction of fecundity in P. citri induced by exposure to lufenuron.

Published: November 2024

AbstractBackground and PurposePneumoconiosis, especially silicosis, is a prevalent occupational disease with substantial global economic implications and lacks a definitive cure. Both pneumoconiosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are interstitial lung diseases, which share many common physiological characteristics. Because pirfenidone and nintedanib are approved to treat IPF, their potential efficacy as antifibrotic agents in advanced silicosis deserves further exploration. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the individual and combined effects of pirfenidone and nintedanib in treating advanced silicosis mice and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of their therapeutic actions via multiomics.Experimental ApproachWe administered monotherapy or combined therapy of pirfenidone and nintedanib, with low and high doses, in silicosis established after 6 weeks and evaluated lung function, inflammatory responses and fibrotic status. Additionally, we employed transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses to uncover the mechanisms underlying different therapeutic strategies.Key ResultsBoth pirfenidone and nintedanib were effective in treating advanced silicosis, with superior outcomes observed in combination therapy. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed that pirfenidone and nintedanib primarily exerted their therapeutic effects by modulating immune responses, signalling cascades and metabolic processes involving lipids, nucleotides and carbohydrates. Furthermore, we experimentally validated both monotherapy and combined therapy yielded therapeutic benefits through two common signalling pathways: steroid biosynthesis and purine metabolism.Conclusion and ImplicationsIn conclusion, pirfenidone and nintedanib, either individually or in combination, demonstrate substantial potential in advanced silicosis. Furthermore, combined therapy outperformed monotherapy, even at low doses. These therapeutic benefits are attributed to their influence on diverse signalling pathways and metabolic processes.

Published: November 2024

AbstractAimVascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is linked to inflammation and angiogenesis, indicating a possible role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its main clinical manifestations, Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). This systematic review and meta‐analysis investigated studies assessing circulating VEGF concentrations in IBD patients and healthy controls, considering the effect of IBD type, sample type and geographical location.MethodsA systematic search identified 18 studies (28 group comparators) investigating 1741 IBD patients and 1291 controls. Data were extracted and analysed using standardized mean differences (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).ResultsVEGF concentrations were significantly higher in IBD patients (SMD = .71, 95% CI .38 to 1.04; p < .001). UC patients showed higher VEGF concentrations than CD patients. Serum samples indicated significant VEGF elevations, unlike plasma samples. Significant VEGF increases were observed in studies conducted in Western Europe and Asia, but not in Eastern Europe. No significant differences were found between active and inactive disease.ConclusionsVEGF concentrations are elevated in IBD patients, with variations by disease type, sample type and geography. However, VEGF is not a reliable marker of disease activity. Future research should standardize methods and explore regional influences to enhance VEGF's clinical utility as a biomarker of IBD.

AbstractBackground and purposeComplement factor C2 is a potential therapeutic target in immune‐mediated neuropathies. However, literature suggests that classical complement pathway activation may proceed to C3 in the absence of C2, a so‐called “C2 bypass.” Here, we evaluated a C2 bypass mechanism during complement activation by pathogenic human IgM from patients with immune‐mediated neuropathies.MethodsIgM autoantibodies from 51 patients with multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) or anti‐myelin‐associated glycoprotein (MAG) neuropathy (AMN) were used to activate complement in ex vivo disease models. C2 bypass was evaluated using C2‐depleted (C2D) serum and a therapeutic anti‐C2 antibody.ResultsIn two different disease models of MMN, IgM anti‐GM1 and IgM anti‐GM2 autoantibodies from MMN patients were bound to induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived motor neurons and Schwann cells, respectively, and fixed C3 upon incubation with fresh serum. C3 fixation was inhibited by anti‐C2 and did not occur with C2D serum. Similarly, in an AMN model, IgM anti‐MAG antibodies were incubated with fresh serum and fixed C3, which in all cases was abrogated in the absence of C2 or in the presence of anti‐C2.ConclusionsIn ex vivo disease models of MMN and AMN, complement activation by IgM autoantibodies from 51 patients was in all cases dependent on C2 and was inhibited by an antihuman C2 antibody. No evidence of a C2 bypass mechanism was found.
Lottery‐like features and mutual fund performance‐flow sensitivity
Authors: Cheng Hua , Kong Lingtian , Lin Tse‐Chun , Luo Yan , Zhou Ningyu 
Published: November 2024

AbstractWe show that mutual funds' lottery‐like features weaken the performance‐flow sensitivity, particularly among low‐performing funds, thereby contributing to the convexity of the fund performance‐flow relation. The results hold when different model specifications are used to test the fund performance‐flow relation, are robust to alternative measures for funds' lottery‐like features, and cannot be attributed to fund search costs, marketing efforts, or fund performance volatility. Utilizing retail trading data at the account level from a large brokerage firm, we offer additional evidence that funds' lottery‐like features significantly reduce outflows for low‐performing funds. It confirms that the weakened performance‐flow sensitivity among low‐performing funds with lottery‐like features is driven by existing investors' reluctance to redeem their shares. Furthermore, we reveal that fund managers can cater to investors' gambling preference by tilting fund portfolios toward lottery‐type stocks. Funds' lottery‐like features, however, aggravate future fund performance, especially among those that have already underperformed in the past.
Global and Local Sensitivity Analysis of Heat Transport in Fractured Rock Using a Modified Implementation of the LH‐OAT Method
Authors: Wu Xiao‐long , Kueper Bernard H. , Novakowski Kent 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThermal remediation of contaminated sites in fractured bedrock is complicated by the characterization and identification of heat transfer between fractures and matrix, and the complex interactions between the hydrogeological and thermodynamic parameters. A three‐dimensional numerical model was applied to investigate these issues using global and local sensitivity analyses for the significance of six variables that potentially influence the heating performance in fractured rock. These variables include the radius and energy delivery strength of the heat source (which were used to study the scale effect and heating processes), the fracture aperture, fracture spacing, groundwater flow velocity, and the thermal conductivity of the rock matrix. A discrete Latin Hypercube‐One‐at‐A‐Time (LH‐OAT) scheme is proposed and utilized as an experimental design and data analysis method for the discrete variables that apply to this case. The results show that at all four monitoring points within the heating area, the radius of the source and energy delivery strength are the most sensitive parameters. To minimize heat dissipation, additional heating wells are demonstrated to be effective for a small or pilot scale site (5 < r < 10 m), while the increase of energy delivery strength is more applicable for larger sites. Extra efforts should be invested to minimize heat dissipation when large fractures (2b> 1600 μm) are identified in the heating area. Re‐samplings and re‐evaluations with one‐way perturbation in both positive and negative directions are thus suggested to avoid biased results caused by perturbations that occur in only positive or negative directions.
