Religious diversity, formal institutional environments and regulatory capital decisions
Authors: Adjimah William Mawuli K. , Boamah Nicholas Addai , Akotey Joseph Oscar , Appiah Kingsley Opoku 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the conditioning effect of formal institutional environments on the relationship between religious diversity and bank capital decisions.

Design/methodology/approach
The study used random effects, generalised least squares regression and the method of moments quantile regression to analyse cross-country variations in bank capital decisions using data from 151 countries between 2000 and 2021.

Findings
The findings show managers take more risks and perceive low regulatory capital as an avenue to success and innovation in more religiously diverse countries. Additionally, institutional quality reverts the negative consequence of religious differences on bank regulatory capital in developing and emerging countries but worsens in developed countries.

Research limitations/implications
The role of deregulation and economic policy uncertainty can be considered for future research on religious diversity and bank capital decision dynamics.

Practical implications
Bank managers may adapt capital ratios to informal institutional factors in individual countries without overlooking the influence of formal institutional indicators.

Originality/value
By advancing studies from an institutional perspective, the authors contribute theoretically to the literature by examining the joint effect of the informal and formal institutional environments on regulatory capital decisions. This will help regulators, supervisors and policymakers better understand the drivers of bank regulatory capital decisions to safeguard the banking systems with the right strategy and policy.
“If well framed”, non-Muslims will visit the mosque: does co-existence matter?
Authors: Mohammed Iddrisu 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This two-part explanatory study aims to examine how the framing of messages influences non-Muslims who are unlikely to visit a mosque due to their self-conception, and how this might affect their behavioural change specifically, their intention to visit. This study also tested the impact of co-existence between framed actual image, ideal image and the intention to visit.

Design/methodology/approach
Using a snowball sampling approach, the study first sampled participants without message framing (358 respondents). Using the same respondents, the second phase of the study introduced message framing, resulting in 308 participants. Structural equation modelling was conducted using STATA Version 15.

Findings
The results indicate that a framed actual self-image is a stronger predictor of changes in consumer behaviour and thus leads to the intention to visit. The introduction of co-existence provided significant insights.

Originality/value
To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study to objectively test the effectiveness of a framing technique in mosque tourism and to highlight message framing as a valid marketing strategy that can enhance consumer (tourist) switching behaviour towards the intention to visit. This study adds new insights into the psychological relationships between framed actual image, framed ideal image, co-existence and intention to visit, which has implications for self-congruity theory.
From past to future: exploring two decades of branded apps
Authors: Mostafavi Shiva Sadat , Mavrommatis Alexis 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to offer an integrated framework for branded apps (BAs) that highlights research gaps and points to areas for future research.

Design/methodology/approach
Using a systematic literature review approach, the authors analyzed more than 100 articles published between 2009 and the present. This research used databases such as SCOPUS, Web of Science, EBSCO and Elsevier’s Science Direct, with a particular focus on articles listed in the 2021 ABS index. The reviewed papers were coded and organized into four categories in terms of themes and concepts: antecedents, mechanisms, outcomes and moderators.

Findings
The study identified four types of antecedents (app benefits, personal traits, brand benefits and others) that influence outcomes via cognitive, affective and a mix of both mechanisms, which is termed multipaths. The authors classified outcomes into five areas (financial gains; app benefits; brand benefits; customer benefits; and others). Moderators were grouped into four types (customer individuality; app features; brand characteristics; and others). The authors concluded by recommending promising directions for future research. Specifically, the authors suggested an inverted U-shaped relationship between escapism and customer responses to BAs.

Originality/value
This paper focused exclusively on BAs, differentiating them from other mobile apps. The authors integrated nearly 100+ studies conducted over two decades. This integrated model serves as a guiding tool for understanding the past, present and future of BAs.
Building career adaptability through enterprise social media use
Authors: Feng Jiaojiao , Zhan Leyan , Wang Changyu 
Published: November 2024

PurposeIn the digital workplace, enterprise social media (ESM) are widely used for work and social purposes, which may afford employees resources to build their career adaptability. However, limited theoretical evidence is about how to build career adaptability through different ESM uses (work-oriented ESM use and socialization-oriented ESM use). This study thus aims to enrich the theoretical understanding of the relationship between different ESM uses and career adaptability by examining the different mediating mechanisms of role clarity and psychological closeness and the moderating effect of mindfulness based on affordance theory.Design/methodology/approachSPSS PROCESS and AMOS were used to analyze the data collected from 209 full-time employees at three-time points.FindingsOur results showed that work-oriented ESM use exerts a positive effect on employees’ career adaptability via role clarity, while socialization-oriented ESM use has a positive effect on employees’ career adaptability via psychological closeness. Mindfulness strengthens the positive effect of work-oriented ESM use on career adaptability via role clarity.Practical implicationsManagers need to notice that both work-oriented and socialization-oriented ESM use can benefit employees, but there are different effecting mechanisms of ESM use for work and social purposes, and organizations should keep cultivating the mindfulness of employees.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the ESM literature by investigating two different influencing mechanisms of ESM uses on employees’ career adaptability and the moderating effects of mindfulness.

Authors: Villanueva Cristian E. , Angeles Adrianela , Revilla Luz Cecilia , Villanueva Diana L. 
Published: November 2024

PurposeThis article has two main objectives: first, to analyze a novice’s researcher’s journey in overcoming the challenges of one of the most persistent obstacles in qualitative research – gaining access through gatekeepers – to obtain a nuanced understanding of this phenomenon; and second, to emphasize the practical value of autoethnography in capturing both individual and social dimensions of this process, enabling researchers to reflect on their fieldwork experiences.Design/methodology/approachThis paper employs an autoethnographic approach grounded in sensemaking and reflexivity, drawing on the personal life experiences of a researcher who collected data for his dissertation involving informal entrepreneurs (IEs).FindingsThis research reveals that gaining access is not a straightforward process but rather an ongoing effort in which rapport, trust and reciprocity – along with persistent negotiations and a bit of luck – contribute to its success. Additionally, the innovative autoethnographic approach helps to adopt new lenses and perspectives on the personal, interpersonal and contextual influences that motivate the actions of both the researcher and the gatekeeper.Originality/valueThis study is valuable for novice researchers and the research practice itself, as it uncovers hidden dynamics and risks associated with accessing hard-to-reach populations. It enriches the literature in organization and management studies by providing a unique framework for navigating this complex process. Furthermore, it highlights the applications, strengths and challenges of the autoethnographic method.

Published: November 2024

AbstractPsoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition associated with significant comorbidities that impact quality of life. Effective patient engagement through shared decision‐making (SDM) is crucial for optimal management. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of adding clinician‐created educational videos in enhancing patient knowledge and engagement during SDM for psoriasis treatment. Forty‐eight patients with moderate to severe psoriasis participated in this single‐center study. After reading an educational pamphlet, patients took a knowledge assessment test. Subsequently, they watched an educational video and completed a second test using the same questions. Feedback questionnaires on the video and the SDM process were also administered. Paired t tests revealed that postpamphlet plus video test scores (mean ± SD: 86.25 ± 17.58) were significantly higher than postpamphlet scores (72.08 ± 26.33, p < 0.0001). Older patients, in particular, showed greater improvement in comprehension after watching the video. Descriptive analysis of the feedback questionnaire on the video indicated strong agreement (average score: 4.240 ± 0.816 on a five‐point Likert scale) regarding its greater effectiveness compared with the pamphlet in aiding SDM. Patients also rated the video‐assisted SDM process positively (average score: 4.521 ± 0.5443 on a five‐point Likert scale), highlighting increased trust and improved communication with healthcare providers. These findings underscore the value of video‐assisted SDM in patient education and decision‐making processes, potentially improving treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction in dermatologic care.
Maternal effect senescence and caloric restriction interact to affect fitness through changes in life history timing

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Environmental factors and individual attributes, and their interactions, impact survival, growth and reproduction of an individual throughout its life. In the clonal rotifer Brachionus, low food conditions delay reproduction and extend lifespan. This species also exhibits maternal effect senescence; the offspring of older mothers have lower survival and reproductive output. In this paper, we explored the population consequences of the individual‐level interaction of maternal age and low food availability.

We built matrix population models for both ad libitum and low food treatments, in which individuals are classified both by their age and maternal age. Low food conditions reduced population growth rate () and shifted the population structure to older maternal ages, but did not detectably impact individual lifetime reproductive output.

We analysed hypothetical scenarios in which reduced fertility or survival led to approximately stationary populations that maintained the shape of the difference in demographic rates between the ad libitum and low food treatments. When fertility was reduced, the populations were more evenly distributed across ages and maternal ages, while the lower‐survival models showed an increased concentration of individuals in the youngest ages and maternal ages.

Using life table response experiment analyses, we compared populations grown under ad libitum and low food conditions in scenarios representing laboratory conditions, reduced fertility and reduced survival. In the laboratory scenario, the reduction in population growth rate under low food conditions is primarily due to decreased fertility in early life. In the lower‐fertility scenario, contributions from differences in fertility and survival are more similar, and show trade‐offs across both ages and maternal ages. In the lower‐survival scenario, the contributions from decreased fertility in early life again dominate the difference in .

These results demonstrate that processes that potentially benefit individuals (e.g. lifespan extension) may actually reduce fitness and population growth because of links with other demographic changes (e.g. delayed reproduction). Because the interactions of maternal age and low food availability depend on the population structure, the fitness consequences of an environmental change can only be fully understood through analysis that takes into account the entire life cycle.
FROM GLOBALIZING TAIPEI TO LEARNING AMSTERDAM: Referencing as a Politicizing Strategy for Urban Development in Taiwan
Authors: Chen Yi‐Ling , Rietdijk Chantalle Elisabeth 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis article examines the transformation of urban referencing in Taipei City after democratization, using policy mobility theories and case study research methods to ‘follow policy changes’ over three decades. It argues that geopolitical considerations in the 1990s prompted Taipei to adopt the global city discourse as a political strategy, subsequently leading to the implementation of neoliberal urban policies. These policies encouraged property‐led development and housing speculation, exacerbating housing affordability issues. Amidst these challenges, a progressive bottom‐up social housing movement emerged in 2010, drawing inspiration from the Dutch model. However, this process of policy mobility is selective, with Amsterdam serving more as an inspirational benchmark than a direct model for replication. Neoliberalism hinders both Dutch and Taiwanese social housing policies from achieving housing justice. This case study of Taiwan's post‐democratization urban development will also contribute to the literature on urban developmentalism.
Does dairy cooperative membership improve food and nutrition security among rural farmers? A micro‐perspective from Zambia

Published: November 2024

AbstractAlthough research on the impacts of agricultural cooperatives is growing, studies on the effects of dairy cooperative membership on food security in developing countries remain scarce. This article follows the same line of inquiry to determine the impact of dairy cooperative membership on food and nutrition security (household dietary diversity score and food insecurity experience score) using data from 515 rural dairy farmers in Zambia. To account for selection bias issues, we use the endogenous switching Poisson regression model supplemented with the Poisson regression with endogenous treatment and machine learning techniques. Results indicate that age, education, dairy farming experience and participation in seminars on cooperatives positively influence dairy cooperative membership. Conversely, higher milk prices at collection centres are associated with a decreased likelihood of cooperative membership. We find that dairy cooperative membership increases dietary diversity and food security for a dairy farmer and dairy cooperative members as well as the non‐members if they joined dairy cooperatives. Further, dairy cooperative membership increases food and nutrition security for dairy farmers who join cooperatives because they are nearby. Collectively, our results support increased dairy cooperative development in rural areas to improve food and nutrition security of rural dwellers in developing countries.

Published: November 2024

ObjectivesTo investigate the impact of the revised papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) classification and evaluate its validity with regard to oncological outcome stratification.Patients and MethodsIdentifying 527 patients with PRCC who underwent surgical resection from 1995 to 2022, a tissue microarray was constructed for immunohistochemical and molecular characterisation. Re‐classification according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2022 criteria and nuclear grading according to the WHO/International Society of Urological Pathologists criteria were done. In addition to the revised subtype, alleged clinicopathological prognosticators were analysed with respect to progression‐free (PFS) and cancer‐specific survival (CSS).ResultsInitially, 247 (46.9%) cases were Type 1, 234 (44.4%) were Type 2, and 46 (8.7%) were papillary not‐otherwise‐specified. According to the revised criteria, 29.9% of Type 1 and 57.7% of Type 2 PRCC cases were re‐classified. Re‐classified from Type 1 included more indolent tumours while from Type 2 PRCC many molecularly defined tumours were newly identified. After re‐classification, still 373 tumours remained with distinct histomorphological features of Type 1 (254 [70%]) and Type 2 (119 [42.2%]) PRCC. Furthermore, significant differences in survival outcomes were obtained when the revised criteria was used particularly for tumours of ≤4 cm. For a median (interquartile range) follow‐up of 79 (38.2–132.8) months, the 5‐year PFS was 97% for Type 1, 80% for Type 2, 75% for transcription factor for immunoglobulin heavy‐chain enhancer 3 (TFE3)‐rearranged, and 43.5% for fumarate hydratase‐deficient RCC. No disease progression was observed in patients with papillary renal neoplasm with reverse polarity.ConclusionThe revised WHO 2022 classification enhanced prognostic accuracy for PRCC particularly for small tumours. Retaining previous subtypes may confer further clinical as well as prognostic value.
Semantic Content in Face Representation: Essential for Proficient Recognition of Unfamiliar Faces by Good Recognizers
Authors: Jiang Tong , Zhou Guomei 
Published: November 2024

AbstractFace recognition is adapted to achieve goals of social interactions, which rely on further processing of the semantic information of faces, beyond visual computations. Here, we explored the semantic content of face representation apart from visual component, and tested their relations to face recognition performance. Specifically, we propose that enhanced visual or semantic coding could underlie the advantage of familiar over unfamiliar faces recognition, as well as the superior recognition of skilled face recognizers. We asked participants to freely describe familiar/unfamiliar faces using words or phrases, and converted these descriptions into semantic vectors. Face semantics were transformed into quantifiable face vectors by aggregating these word/phrase vectors. We also extracted visual features from a deep convolutional neural network and obtained the visual representation of familiar/unfamiliar faces. Semantic and visual representations were used to predict perceptual representation generated from a behavior rating task separately in different groups (bad/good face recognizers in familiar‐face/unfamiliar‐face conditions). Comparisons revealed that although long‐term memory facilitated visual feature extraction for familiar faces compared to unfamiliar faces, good recognizers compensated for this disparity by incorporating more semantic information for unfamiliar faces, a strategy not observed in bad recognizers. This study highlights the significance of semantics in recognizing unfamiliar faces.
