Purpose
In the dynamic landscape of 2023, global challenges are amplified by escalating conflicts and the COVID-19 aftermath. Developing nations like Vietnam face a critical juncture, requiring diversified economies for enhanced livelihoods and poverty reduction. However, this growth necessitates increased energy consumption, potentially escalating carbon emissions. Green innovation (GI) emerges as a beacon of hope, offering products and services designed for a minimal carbon footprint. Beyond socio-economic advancement, GI aligns with sustainable development goals. This study aims to examine the influence of knowledge management (KM) and digitalization (DG) on GI, particularly in sustainable competitive advantage.

Design/methodology/approach
Using structural equation modeling and drawing upon a survey administered to 301 Vietnamese enterprises.

Findings
The findings illuminate diverse underpinnings between green product and process innovation, unravel the intricate relationship between KM, DG and GI, and provide crucial insights for firms seeking sustainable competitive edges.

Originality/value
This multidimensional approach significantly enriches the understanding of these pivotal elements in contemporary business landscapes.
How to mitigate fashion subscription hesitation: two-step exploration using theory-based causal modeling and machine learning predictive modeling
Authors: Kang Jiyun , Johnson Catherine , Heo Wookjae , Jang Jisu 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
Although a fashion subscription offers significant environmental benefits by transforming physical products into shared services, most customers are reluctant to adopt it. This hesitation, exacerbated by poor communication from brands that primarily emphasize its personal benefits, hinders its sustainable growth. This study aims to examine specifically which concerns increase hesitation, and the role of explicitly informing consumers about the service’s environmental benefits in mitigating the impact of consumer concerns on their hesitation.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected through an online experiment with more than a thousand U.S. adults nationwide and analyzed using a two-step analysis. First, theory-based causal modeling was conducted to examine the effects of consumer concerns on hesitation, accounting for ambivalence as a mediator and informed environmental benefits as a moderator. Second, machine learning was used to cross-validate the findings.

Findings
Results show that certain types of consumer concerns increase hesitation, significantly mediated by ambivalence, and confirm that informed environmental benefits mitigate the effects of some concerns on hesitation.

Originality/value
This study contributes to building on the hierarchy of effects theory by exploring negatively nuanced constructs – concerns, ambivalence and hesitation – beyond the traditional constructs representing the cognitive, affective and conative stages of consumer decision-making. Findings provide strategic guidance to brands on how to communicate the new service to consumers. Leveraging theory-based causal modeling with machine learning-based predictive modeling provides a novel methodological approach to explaining and predicting consumer hesitation toward new services.
Enhancing motivation to learn through age diversity climate: a mediated moderation perspective
Authors: Singh Sweta , Chitre Chetan 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to further the understanding of the motivation to learn (ML) among an organisation’s older cohort of employees. It is proposed that age diversity climate (ADC) will positively impact ML by improving employees’ subjective age (SA) perception. Such a climate will indicate that the organisational climate is fair and inclusive regardless of the employee’s age.

Design/methodology/approach
Salaried Indian workers were administered a questionnaire on SA, ML and ADC.

Findings
ADC was positively related to ML, with SA acting as a mediator. The relationship is stronger for employees with higher chronological age (C.Age).

Practical implications
Policymakers and managers can draw from the findings and develop HR programs aimed at managing an age-diverse workforce and can incorporate measures that enhance the employability of the chronologically ageing but subjectively younger cohort to prevent premature departure from the labour market.

Originality/value
The present article contributes to the literature on work and ageing by investigating the subjective relationship of workers to their age. The findings also focus on successful ageing, thus contributing to the life span developmental theories.
Green persistence: unraveling the influence of green HR, green corporate strategy and green knowledge on employee persistence in green tasks
Authors: Ali Ahmed , Tariq Hussain 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is twofold. First, it aims to empirically examine the relationship between green HR practices, green knowledge and employee persistence in green tasks. Second, it investigates the moderating effect of corporate environmental strategy on the relationship of green HR – green knowledge – employee persistence in green tasks.

Design/methodology/approach
Responses from 355 employees across various companies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were collected using a survey. The data were analyzed using simple mediation and moderated mediation models.

Findings
This study confirms that green HR practices influence green knowledge, which in turn determines employee persistence in green tasks. Moreover, the results show that corporate environmental strategy positively strengthens the indirect relationship between green HR practices and employee persistence through green knowledge.

Originality/value
This study offers a novel perspective on employee persistence in green tasks, including its proximal and distal predictors and a boundary condition. Specifically, it theoretically links and empirically tests corporate environmental strategy, green HR practices and green knowledge with employee persistence. Additionally, it develops a measurement scale for employee persistence in green tasks.
Breaking good? Young people's mechanisms of resilience, resistance and control
Authors: Fox Claire , Deakin Jo 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe conventional understanding of resilience often portrays it as a positive outcome emerging from adverse situations. This perspective frequently shapes interventions aimed at bolstering resilience among individuals considered to be in need. Drawing upon data from a European study, this paper contends that young people's apparent ‘latent rejection’ of favourable opportunities, or their deliberate choice to remain in precarious situations despite having some agency, should be recontextualised as unconventional but valid expressions of resilience. Instead of framing resilience solely as an aspirational concept, we propose a reframing that emphasises its role in coping with and surviving challenging circumstances. Furthermore, we advocate for the adoption of Mason's ‘safe‐uncertainty’ model to foster a more practical form of resilience. This approach towards a more sustainable resilience could be valuable in other fields dealing with those populations labelled as ‘vulnerable’, ‘problematic’ or ‘disadvantaged’, and it can, we argue, enhance decision‐making skills, and promote the development of robust support networks.
Czech validation of the Attitudes to Inclusion Scale and the Intention to Teach in Inclusive Classroom Scale among primary school teachers
Authors: Pivarč Jakub 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe Attitudes to Inclusion Scale (AIS) and the Intention to Teach in Inclusive Classroom Scale (ITICS) are instruments widely used internationally for researching teachers' attitudes and intentions towards inclusive education (IE). This study presents information on psychometric analysis of the AIS and ITICS as well as their functioning in the Czech environment. Using a sample of 1434 teachers (88% female) from 140 regular public primary schools in the Czech Republic, confirmatory factor analysis was used to verify the two‐factor structure of the AIS, which measures beliefs and feelings, as well as the structure of the ITICS, a unidimensional construct that measures the general intention of teachers in relation to IE. Both instruments achieved high reliability (ω ≥ 0.75), and convergent, discriminant, concurrent, and criterion validity were confirmed. The partially scalar for ITICS and fully strict invariance for AIS for the compared groups of teachers in terms of their age was achieved. The AIS and ITICS scales work well in the Czech sociocultural context and can be considered valid and reliable instruments for (international) comparisons of teachers' attitudes and intentions towards IE. Limitations of the study and suggestions for future research directions are also discussed.

Published: November 2024

AbstractThe authors report a case of a sexual serial killer responsible for four homicides (one homosexual and three prostitutes) over a 12‐year period. The perpetrator was diagnosed with a severe personality disorder and necrophilia at the time of the crimes and was declared partially mentally impaired and dangerous to societal security by the Court of Jurisdiction for these crimes. The offender served 22 years in prison, including half of the detention in an OPG (High Security Forensic Psychiatry Hospital) receiving psychiatric treatment. This was followed by 3 years of internment in the REMS (Residences for the Execution of Security Measures): these facilities are regional mental health community facilities, each accommodating 20 patients, established throughout Italian administrative division. Such facilities are designed for the accommodation and treatment of offenders who are either deemed not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI) or declared totally mentally impaired (Articles 88, Italian Penal Code) or assessed as partially mentally impaired (Article 89 Italian Penal Code), typically following reduced imprisonment terms. The case documents the history of schizophrenic disorder, the development of serial killers' behavior during incarceration, and the comprehensive process of treatment and management that encompasses 25 years. Cases documenting the evolution of the human path and long‐term treatment of serial killers remain rarely documented available in the literature.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTObjectivesTo investigate the reliability and time efficiency of the conventional compared to the automatic artificial intelligence (AI) segmentation of the mandibular canal and registration of the CBCT with the model scan data, in relation to clinician's experience.Materials and MethodsTwenty clinicians, 10 with a moderate and 10 with a high experience in computer‐assisted implant planning, were asked to perform a bilateral localization of the mandibular canal, followed by a registration of the intraoral model scan with the CBCT. Subsequently, for each data set and each participant, the same operations were performed utilizing the AI tool. Statistical significance was assessed via a mixed model (using the PROC MIXED statement and the compound symmetry covariance structure).ResultsThe mean time for the segmentation of the mandibular canals and the registration of the models was 4.75 (2.03)min for the manual and 2.03 (0.36) min for the AI‐automated operations (p < 0.001). The mean discrepancy in the mandibular canals was 0.71 (1.80) mm RMS error for the manual segmentation and 0.68 (0.36) RMS error for the AI‐assisted segmentation (p > 0.05). For the registration between the CBCT and the intraoral scans, the mean discrepancy was 0.45 (0.16) mm for the manual and 0.37 (0.07) mm for the AI‐assisted superimposition (p > 0.05).ConclusionsAI‐automated implant planning tools are feasible options that can lead to a similar or better accuracy compared to the conventional manual workflow, providing improved time efficiency for both experienced and less experienced users. Further research including a variety of software and data sets is required to be able to generalize the outcomes of the present study.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundCalcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) are associated with long‐term complications after heart transplantation (HTx). Everolimus (EVR)‐based immunosuppression allows for CNI withdrawal. We used data from The Scandinavian heart transplant everolimus de novo study with early CNI avoidance (SCHEDULE) trial to assess whether health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) differed between patients on long‐term treatment with EVR versus a CNI‐based regimen.MethodsIn SCHEDULE, we randomized 115 patients (mean age 51 ± 13 years, 27% women) to cyclosporine (CNI group; n = 59), or early introduction of EVR and cyclosporine withdrawal within 11 weeks of HTx (EVR group; n = 56). The primary endpoint was the glomerular filtration rate. We used the Short Form‐36 (SF‐36v2), the EuroQoL visual analogue scale (EQ VAS), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) to assess HRQoL. We re‐evaluated the participants after 10–12 years.ResultsSeventy‐eight patients attended follow‐up at a median of 11 years after HTx. The SF‐36 physical component summary score increased from 32 ± 10 pre‐HTx to 44 ± 12 11 years after HTx (p < 0.01) in the EVR group and from 33 ± 9 to 44 ± 11 (p < 0.01) with CNI. The mental component summary score increased from 46 ± 12 to 53 ± 13 (EVR); p = 0.04 and from 38 ± 13 to 49 ± 13 (CNI); p < 0.01. Similar improvements were observed regarding EQ‐VAS and the BDI. There were no significant between‐group differences for either measure of HRQoL.ConclusionsIn heart transplant recipients, an EVR‐based immunosuppressive strategy resulted in similar long‐term improvements in HRQoL as treatment with a CNI‐based regimen.
Replication code availability over time and across fields: Evidence from the German Socio‐Economic Panel
Authors: Fink Lukas , Marcus Jan 
Published: November 2024

AbstractProviding replication code is an inexpensive way to facilitate reproducibility. However, little is known about the extent of replication code provision. Therefore, we examine the availability of replication code for over 2500 peer‐reviewed articles based on the German Socio‐Economic Panel (SOEP), one of the most widely used datasets in economics and other social sciences. We find that only 6% of SOEP‐based studies have code available, but that this proportion has increased sharply over time. We provide evidence that the increase in code provision is driven by technological advances, individual researcher initiatives, and journal policies.
Blinding of transcranial direct current stimulation is compromised in typically developing children compared to young adults
Authors: Bertrand Sophia , Rich Tonya , Nemanich Samuel 
Published: November 2024

AbstractAchieving successful blinding is a persistent challenge for clinical trials involving transcranial direct current stimulation. Studies involving populations with increased sensory sensitivity, such as children, could be at risk for increased bias from inadequate blinding due to unique sensation of stimulation relative to adults. The objectives of this study were 1) To examine differences in transcranial stimulation blinding between children and young adults and its relationship to sensory sensitivity. 2) To test the efficacy of an ActiSham protocol for participant blinding, compared to a traditional sham protocol. Typically developing right‐handed children (N = 12, 5–14 yr) and young adults (N = 15, 15–25 yr) completed a single‐session study to test transcranial stimulation blinding after three conditions counterbalanced across participants: Active, Sham and ActiSham. Stimulation was paired with a motor learning task to simulate a combinatory neurorehabilitation intervention. After each condition, participants reported if they received real or fake stimulation and their response confidence. To quantify sensory sensitivity, participants completed the Sensory Profile (second edition). Compared to a chance level, 1) children and young adults correctly identified Active stimulation, 2) children incorrectly identified Sham and ActiSham stimulation and 3) young adults identified Sham and ActiSham stimulation at chance‐level. Blinding accuracy was not related to sensory sensitivity. Children report stimulation as real stimulation with higher confidence for almost all conditions, indicating unsuccessful blinding compared to young adults. Future studies should consider alternative sham protocols or methods to improve blinding in child participants.
Corticospinal excitability and voluntary activation of the quadriceps muscle is not affected by a single session of anodal transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation in healthy, young adults

Published: November 2024

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to determine if anodal transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) affects corticospinal excitability (CSE) and voluntary activation (VA) of the quadriceps femoris muscle (QM). This was a double‐blind, randomized study in which spine‐shoulder anodal tsDCS (active electrode centered over T11–12, 2.5 mA, 20 min) was applied in a seated position. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to measure motor evoked potentials (MEP) and construct stimulus–response curves in healthy participants (eight females and five males, Experiment 1). VA was measured via the interpolated twitch technique, whereby muscle twitches were evoked using electrical femoral nerve stimulation and TMS (seven females and six males, Experiment 2). Measurements were carried out before, directly, and 30 min after sham and anodal tsDCS (with ≥4 days between sessions). There was no interaction between stimulation × time on stimulus–response curve expressed by slope, stimulus intensity corresponding to 50% of the maximal MEP, and peak‐to‐peak amplitude of the maximal MEP. Maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) torque did not change and VA was not affected regardless of the QM torque level (25, 50, or 100% of MVIC). A single, twenty‐minute session of spine‐shoulder anodal tsDCS did not increase CSE and VA of QM during submaximal and maximal contraction. This suggests that neither excitability to a known input nor responsiveness of motoneurons to submaximal and maximal cortical drive were affected by anodal tsDCS.
Outcome following standing flank laparotomy for treatment of uterine torsion in 87 Arabian mares

Published: November 2024

SummaryBackgroundUterine torsion (UT) is an infrequent serious obstetric disorder in pregnant mares.ObjectiveTo record the outcome of standing flank laparotomy (SFL) for correction of UT in Straight Egyptian Arabian mares.Study designRetrospective analysis of medical records.MethodsHospital records of all pregnant mares that underwent SFL for correction of UT between 2018 and 2022 were analysed. The signalment, history, clinical signs, results of diagnostic techniques, direction and degree of UT, treatment and outcome, rebreeding and recurrence were retrieved and analysed.ResultsOut of 97 mares treated with SFL for correction of UT, 87 (89.7%) animals were Straight Egyptian Arabian mares. The median age of the Straight Egyptian Arabian mares presented with UT was 12 ± 2.3 years (Range: 5–18 and IQR: 7–15 years). The median gestational age at the time of occurrence of UT was 270 ± 2.4 days (Range: 210–315 and IQR: 255–260 days). The majority of UT (75.9%) was recorded ≤270 days. The direction of torsion was clockwise in 36 (41.4%) mares and anticlockwise in 51 (58.6%) mares. The degree of UT ranged between <180° and ≥360°. After surgery, 82/87 (94.3%) mares successfully delivered a live foal. However, four mares (4.6%) aborted after 2–15 days of surgery and one mare (1.1%) died after surgery due to rectal tears and intestinal prolapse. Following SFL, 86/87 (98.9%) mares survived. Of the surviving 86 mares, 82 (95.3%) gave birth to viable mature foals. In contrast to the direction of torsion and gender of the foal, the stage of gestation at which UT occurred significantly affected foal survival (p = 0.018).ConclusionPregnant Straight Egyptian Arabian mares are at risk of developing UT during the third trimester of pregnancy. Standing flank laparotomy is an effective operation for treating UT in mares, with good foal and mare survival rates.
