AbstractOvarian cancer has the highest mortality of all gynecological cancers and in symptomatic women, surgery is commonly used as final diagnostic. Available literature indicates that women with benign tumors could often be conservatively managed but accurate molecular tests are needed for triaging where gold-standard imaging techniques are inconclusive or lacking. Here, we analyzed 5416 plasma proteins in two independent cohorts (N=171+233) with symptomatic women that have been surgically diagnosed with benign or malignant tumors. Using one cohort as discovery, we compared protein levels of benign tumors with early stage (I-II), late stage (III-IV) or any stage (I-IV) ovarian cancer. In this analysis, 327 associations, corresponding to 191 unique proteins, were identified out of which 326 (99.7%) replicated. The 191 proteins were compared with their corresponding tumor gene expression in the replication cohort and only 11% (21/191) were found to have significant correlation. Protein-protein correlation networks were generated and 62 of the 191 proteins were highly correlated with at least one other protein, suggesting that many of the observed associations could be secondary effects. Multivariate models were trained using the discovery cohort including a fixed cut-off for malignancy. In the replication cohort, an eight-protein model achieved an AUC of 0.96 corresponding to 97% sensitivity at 68% specificity. For early-stage tumors, the sensitivity was estimated at 91% at 68% specificity compared to 85% and 54% for CA-125 alone. Our results indicate that up to one third of benign cases could be identified by molecular measures thereby reducing the need for diagnostic surgery.One Sentence SummaryPlasma proteomics for separation of benign and malignant tumors in ovarian cancer.

Authors: Kaczmarski Karolina , Pasha Atena , Inusah Abdul-Hanan Saani , Li Xiaoming , Qiao Shan 
Published: October 2024

AbstractBackgroundOrganizational resilience is crucial in supporting the well-being of healthcare workers and ensuring the quality of healthcare services during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to comprehensively review organizational resilience of healthcare facilities in terms of its conception, measurement, and impacts on healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsA search was conducted in four databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, PsycINFO, and Web of Science) for empirical articles considering organizational resilience among healthcare facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2019 to 2024. Several keywords from three categories (“COVID-19”, “organizational resilience,” and “healthcare facilities”) were used, and RAYYAN was used to manage references.ResultsFour empirical articles from 172 studies were included, which encompassed a total sample of 6,606 healthcare workers from Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Türkiye. Organizational resilience could influence the individual resilience of healthcare practitioners, enhance crisis management and ensure safety performance. The strategies of enhancing organizational resilience at healthcare worker level included staff training, crisis management protocols, collaboration promotion, and stress management approaches. The ones at health facility level included government intervention, funds for hospital preparedness, competency-based crisis management, and mental health programs for healthcare workers. Our review also suggests a lack of empirical studies, no commonly used measurement instruments, and the heterogeneity of study contexts in the research of organizational resilience in public health.ConclusionsThis review highlights effective strategies to enhance the organizational resilience of healthcare workers and examines their impact during the COVID-19 pandemic. Immediate government action, funding to support hospital preparedness, and the formation of flexible healthcare teams are essential to strengthen organizational resilience among healthcare workers for future crises.
Go big or go home: do narcissistic CEOs pursue affordable loss behaviors?
Authors: Wang Wenzhou , Shen Zhe , Yuan Wenlong 
Published: October 2024

PurposeThe affordable loss (AL) heuristic, as one crucial sub-dimension of effectuation, delineates the maximum level of investment entrepreneurs are ready to lose in a worst-case scenario. Conflicting conceptualizations remain regarding whether entrepreneurs’ psychological traits matter for AL. Based on the narcissistic admiration and narcissistic rivalry perspective, this study investigates the relationship between chief executive officer (CEO) narcissism and AL behaviors.Design/methodology/approachUsing data collected from the CEOs and paired vice presidents at 122 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in mainland China, the authors intend to further explore the association between psychological traits, especially CEO narcissism and AL behaviors under environment and resource constraints (e.g. perceived uncertainty and slack resources).FindingsThe findings show that CEO admiration-based narcissism is positively related to AL behaviors in the firm. Furthermore, when firms hold more slack resources, narcissistic admiration has a stronger positive association with AL; while when the environment becomes more uncertain, narcissistic admiration has a weaker positive association with AL. In contrast, CEO rivalry-based narcissism is negatively related to AL behaviors in the firm. When the environment becomes more uncertain, narcissistic rivalry has a stronger negative association with AL.Originality/valueThis article contributes to trait-based effectuation research and suggests that individual psychological traits affect AL behaviors at the firm level, though the patterns of the relationship vary with both the type of narcissism and contexts.
Is my city a competitive tourism destination? An assessment from residents’ perspective
Authors: Costa Rui Augusto , Chim-Miki Adriana Fumi , Fong Lawrence Hoc Nang 
Published: October 2024

Purpose
This study aims to examine the effects of natural, cultural and urban resources on the city's tourism competitiveness from the residents' perspective and identifies the factors that city managers should prioritize.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors used multiple methods. The partial least squares structural equation modeling tested our theoretical assumption and the importance–performance map analysis provided an extra interpretation of the results to make them tangible to city managers. Data collection was done with residents of Viseu, Portugal.

Findings
The findings indicated that tourism competitiveness from the residents' perspective depends on the leisure activities they can enjoy as much as tourists, as the limits between tourism activities and everyday life are tenuous. The quality of leisure is part of residents' well-being; however, the results suggested that tourism development fails to engage residents in the destination's leisure offer. The cultural heritage is not attractive to them because it is part of their day-by-day living area or they need to enjoy the cultural offer. To accommodate residents' demands, destination managers need to improve the offer of outdoor activities and urban leisure opportunities.

Research limitations/implications
The main limitations were the sample size and the data collection after a pandemic context, that is, in a period of economic crisis that reduced leisure consumption. The implications point out variables to managers prioritize to improve place management and rethink tourism competitiveness based on a citizen-centered view. It is also a way to understand residents as staycationers.

Practical implications
Our research contributed to urban and city research literature with meaningful findings that can help city managers improve the positive impacts of tourism on residents and enhance the integration of tourism and urban daily life.

Social implications
The authors suggested strategies for integrating residents into cultural activities.

Originality/value
Theoretically, this study is set up in the frontier of rethinking and promoting society-centric tourism development. The research contributed to urban and city research literature with meaningful findings that can help city managers improve the positive impacts of tourism on residents and enhance the integration of tourism and urban daily life. In this direction, the authors suggest strategies for integrating residents into cultural activities.
Effect of lubricant inertia on textured journal bearing implementing mass conserving (JFO) boundary conditions
Authors: Das Debajit , Kakoty Sashindra Kumar 
Published: October 2024

Purpose
Cavitation plays a significant role in the performance of textured journal bearings. Furthermore, because of the usage of low-viscosity lubricants and the high working speed of machines, it is pertinent to consider the lubricant inertia while analyzing the operating characteristics of bearings. This paper aims to investigate the influence of lubricant inertia in the case of a spherically textured journal bearing, considering both protrusion and dimple texturing and implementing the mass-conserving (JFO) boundary conditions.

Design/methodology/approach
A novel modified Reynolds equation has been developed to accommodate the effects of lubricant inertia and cavitation. The cavitation is treated by using mass-conserving (Jakobsson−Floberg−Olsson [JFO]) boundary conditions. The governing equation is solved by the Gauss−Seidel method with successive over-relaxation. To enhance computational efficiency and expedite the convergence process, the progressive mesh densification (PMD) method has been integrated into the solution process.

Findings
The current study indicates that the JFO boundary conditions result in higher load-carrying capacity and lesser friction variables for heavily loaded bearings, whereas the flow coefficient is reduced due to the application of JFO boundary conditions. The lubricant inertia effect enhances the flow coefficients for lightly loaded and protrusion-textured bearings.

Originality/value
It is crucial to understand the combined effects of lubricant inertia and cavitation for the effective design of textured journal bearings. The findings from this work will help in designing textured journal bearings more effectively and accurately, particularly when low-viscosity oil is used.

Sudan’s climate-culture story: a project with HEART – Heritage Empowered Action for Risk in Tuti
Authors: Minguez Garcia Barbara , Saif Alislam Abdulgadir Ahmed Malathe , Elgadi Esraa Osman , Elkhalifa Akram Ahmed 
Published: October 2024

PurposeLocated at the confluence of the White and Blue Niles, in the core of Sudan’s capital, the small island of Tuti has been affected by flooding events throughout its history. To protect it, the Tuti people (Tawatas) developed the Taya, a traditional early warning, community-based flood management system. However, several challenges, including climate change impacts, demographic variations, a fluctuating economy and, more recently, an ongoing armed conflict, are increasing the risks associated with the annual flooding, threatening this traditional knowledge and other local community practices.Design/methodology/approachIn the framework of International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM)’s Net Zero: Heritage for Climate Action project Tuti Island was presented as an innovation site, aiming to deepen on Tuti’s traditional knowledge as an efficient heritage-based adaptation strategy to reduce the impacts of climate change. Unfortunately, the implementation of the project faced more challenges and constraints than initially foreseen when the conflict broke out in the capital of Sudan in April 2023. The project activities, methodology and approach had to be redesigned in light of the new situation.FindingsThe Taya traditional system plays a key role in reducing vulnerabilities and enhancing the community’s capacity to address the impacts of climate change, as well as to cope with other crises, including armed conflict, due to its deep connection with the Tawata’s identity.Originality/valueThe project, which was originally planned to focus on climate action through heritage, became a representative case of the disaster–conflict nexus, reminding us that overlapping crises may occur in the same area, putting additional pressure on the population, their cultural heritage and the measures to tackle specific issues.
Does the underdog theory of entrepreneurship apply to refugees? Scrutinizing the determinants of entrepreneurial intentions of refugees in Portugal
Authors: Noorbakhsh Sajad , Teixeira Aurora Castro , Brochado Ana 
Published: October 2024

Purpose
Refugee entrepreneurship is increasingly viewed as a “silver bullet” being able to promote host countries’ economic performance and enable the successful integration of refugees. This study aims to identify the main determinants of entrepreneurial intentions of refugees in Portugal based on the underdog theory.

Design/methodology/approach
In this study, the authors scrutinize the entrepreneurial intentions of refugees living in Portugal, an overlooked context, using a purpose-built inquiry responded to by 41 refugees and resorting to fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis, complemented with partial least squares path modeling.

Findings
Some important results are worth highlighting: the entrepreneurial intentions of the respondent sample of refugees living in Portugal are high; the theoretical arguments underlying the underdog or challenge-based entrepreneurship theory are validated in the context of the respondent sample; and psychological related factors associated with the more standard explanations of entrepreneurial intentions constitute necessary conditions for high refugee entrepreneurial intentions.

Originality/value
Entrepreneurial intentions to launch a business have been discussed in the entrepreneurship literature vastly, but it has not yet received much attention when focusing on refugees, often identified as underdogs (potential) entrepreneurs. This study contributes to the literature by testing the challenge-based entrepreneurship theory to identify the primary factors influencing refugee entrepreneurial intentions.
AI4people − an ethical framework for a good AI society: the Ghana (Ga) perspective
Authors: Ammah Laud Nii Attoh , Lütge Christoph , Kriebitz Alexander , Ramkissoon Lavina 
Published: October 2024

Purpose
The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in the Global South brings tremendous potential for both good and harm. This paper aims to highlight the guiding ethical principles and normative frameworks for the ethical use of AI in the lens of the traditional Ga (a tribe in Ghana) philosophy and add to the academic literature and research on AI and ethics within the African context.

Design/methodology/approach
Literature overview on the African philosophy of Ga tradition as applied to AI and application of it to the AI4people ethical framework for a good AI society.

Findings
Existing principles in AI are based on and mostly influenced by western principles, which may give rise to biases in AI outcomes and design implications in Africa. The research finds a high degree of overlap in the AI4People ethical framework for a good AI society and the Ga philosophy.

Research limitations/implications
There are a few existing literatures on AI ethics in Africa and on Ga philosophy.

Originality/value
This research offers valuable contribution to the ongoing discourse of Africa’s adoption of AI and widens the debate on AI and ethics beyond the western ethical approaches.
Hybrid product branding strategies for brand value creation – combining and comparing green product innovations, limited editions and co-branding
Authors: Steffl Jonas , Ganassali Stéphane , Emes Jutta 
Published: October 2024

Purpose
This study aims to examine whether, and how, green product innovations (GPIs), limited edition products, co-branded products and a combination of these product branding strategies affect consumers’ perception of brand value.

Design/methodology/approach
Two empirical between-subject experiments were conducted. Study 1 (N = 406) compares the impact of green and non-GPI on green brand image and brand value. Study 2 (N = 808) compares the incidence of GPIs, limited editions, co-branded products and a combination of these strategies on brand value, while exploring the mediating effect of perceived scarcity and moderating mechanism of consumers’ attitude toward co-branding partnership.

Findings
GPIs outperform nongreen alternatives in creating favorable brand values. Green brand image mediates the positive impact of GPI on consumers’ perceived values of the brand. In the context of GPIs, limited edition and co-branding are effective in enhancing a brand’s quality, price, emotional and social values. The success, however, relies on creating a perception of scarcity and fostering a positive attitude toward the co-branding partnership.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to examine the positive impact of different green product branding strategies on a brand’s quality value, price value, emotional value and social value perception.
Launching a European Employee Stock Ownership Plan (European ESOP)
Authors: Lowitzsch Jens , Menke John D. , Suarsana Denis , Nuttall Graeme , Gonza Tej , Mirabel Thibault 
Published: October 2024

PurposeWith a third of business successions failing, the EU is still confronted with a haemorrhage of around 150,000 enterprises and 600,000 jobs every year. Although 30 years of research have confirmed the positive effects of employee share ownership (ESO) for European enterprises and its important function for business succession, best practice, such as the US ESOP, is thinly spread across the EU. Nevertheless, Member States (MS) have developed a broad variety of ESO schemes involving intermediary entities to acquire and administer employee shares in the employer firm in particular for the transfer of businesses to employees. However, for small and medium enterprise (SME) owners the main barrier is still a lack of clearcut and transparent options to sell their enterprise to their employees and corresponding incentives to do so. In this light, this paper proposes a European approach, that is, a European Employee Stock Ownership Plan (European ESOP).Design/methodology/approachA “Common European ESOP Regime”, as a first step towards a “Common European Regime on EFP” would complement existing national laws aiming primarily at their harmonisation. As the name suggests, this would be a second contract law regime parallel to national legislation on ESO. Its objective is to eliminate obstacles to the single market that mainly, though not exclusively, stem from heterogeneous regulatory density. The existing obstacles are due to the multifarious development of national laws governing employee financial participation (EFP) in the MS. The “Common European ESOP Regime” would offer employers and employees a choice between two alternative EFP regimes one originating in national legislation, the other in European legislation. The choice between these two alternatives would be entirely optional, as in the case of the European Company Statute.FindingsThe European ESOP is modelled on the US ESOP and EU best practices. It embraces six European types of legal vehicles, i.e. the employee ownership trust (EOT), the French employee ownership mutual fund (FCPE), the Austrian civil law foundation, the Spanish Sociedad Laboral, the cooperative and the closely held limited liability company.Originality/valueThe “Common European ESOP regime” would neither replace nor override national legislation but would serve as a cross-border alternative to national laws, to be used at the discretion of the parties involved. Regarding its contents, it would contain best practice rules derived from each of the ESOP vehicles discussed to reflect the entire life cycle of SMEs (starting up, consolidation and succession).

How does audit digitalization stimulate corporate green innovation? The mediating role of R&D investment
Authors: Zhang Zenglian , Shi Wen 
Published: October 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate how digitalization empowers government auditing with technical power to serve national governance better.

Design/methodology/approach
This study measures the audit digitalization (AD) index by textual analysis method and matches the provincial AD index with the Chinese listed firm’s data from 2011 to 2019. The two-way fixed effect regression is used to explore the nexus of audit digitalization and corporate green innovation.

Findings
The empirical results demonstrate that government audit digitalization stimulates corporate green innovation, especially for substantive green innovation. Research and development expenditures on personnel and capital are influential mediators and are increased by audit digitalization. The heterogeneity analysis indicates the anti-driving effect for fewer audit informatization expenditures or lower environmental audit coverage, and the incentive effect for state-owned enterprises or firms with corporate social responsibility reports.

Originality/value
The incremental contribution lies in recognizing the progress of government audit digitalization and its role from digital to environmental governance, which extends digital capabilities and digital expertise into the government audit view. Based on textual analysis, a reliable dictionary of audit digitalization is built by machine-learning methods. Then, the authors confirm the effectiveness of audit digitalization, especially when other forms of digitalization fail to promote substantive green innovation. This study also attests to the anti-driving and incentive effect from the external governance perspective. The authors’ findings have implications for digital ecological civilization.
