Make it real, make it useful! The impact of AR social experience on brand positivity and information sharing
Authors: Shaheen Riziq , Aljarah Ahmad , Ibrahim Blend , Hazzam Joe , Ghasemi Matina 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThis study investigated the impact of the perceived Augmented Reality (AR) social experience of restaurant menus on two types of prosocial behaviors: brand positivity and brand information sharing.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopts the expectancy-value model as a framework, drawing on the cognitive load, self-determination, and media richness theories. Using a sample of 879 participants from the United States, the research model was tested using structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe findings indicate that the social experience derived from using AR menus significantly predicts brand positivity and brand information sharing. The perceived usefulness of AR mediates this relationship. Moreover, AR reality congruence acts as a significant mediator between perceived AR social experience and brand positivity but not brand information sharing. The positive relationship between AR social experience, brand positivity, and brand information sharing is sequentially mediated by AR reality congruence and AR usefulness.Originality/valueThis groundbreaking research pioneers a fresh perspective, delving into the impact of AR social experiences on consumers' prosocial behaviors, specifically brand positivity and information sharing. Unravels intricate mechanisms, shedding light on how and under what circumstances AR social experiences foster positive behaviors within the dynamic realm of food services and restaurant settings. This study provides valuable insights for restaurant managers and marketers to leverage AR technology to create engaging and immersive customer-dining experiences, a concept that has not been thoroughly explored in previous studies.
Human social responsibility from challenges to achievements: discursive empowerment of women innovators across organizational borders
Authors: Maier Carmen Daniela 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThe paper explains how challenges and achievements of human social responsibility (HSR) are addressed by women innovators across the organizational borders of various industries. More precisely, this qualitative study’s goal is to clarify the empowering roles of discursive strategies employed by Women in Innovation (WIN) organization when communicating about women innovators’ demanding realities and about their collaborative initiatives meant to generate changes related to gender, diversity and intersectionality. The WIN members include women leaders in the innovation space with extensive professional, advisory and international experience.Design/methodology/approachThe paper proposes an approach that brings together perspectives upon empowerment, perspectives on social, intellectual and symbolic capital and a social semiotic perspective on discourse. The WIN blogs are investigated to facilitate: first, an understanding of how discursive strategies recontextualize the women innovators’ identities and actions and second, an understanding of how these discursive strategies contribute to sustaining and legitimizing dynamic social capital while building new intellectual capital and symbolic capital across organizational borders.FindingsThe WIN discourses both disclose contemporary gender, diversity and intersectionality challenges across organizational borders as well as promote ways of breaking the barriers that prevent women innovators from thriving. The discursive strategies recontextualize women innovators as resourceful social actors with multiple identities. Their social actions are discursively recontextualized as collaborative challenge-solving enterprises. These recurrent discursive strategies accomplish empowering functions at individual, relational and collective well-being levels through materializing new intellectual and symbolic capital when revealing the manifestations of bridging and bonding social capital.Originality/valueThis paper provides a novel integrative approach to explaining in detail the complexity of empowering discourses at several levels of analytical delicacy. It responds to the needs of HSR research and practice for gaining more insights into the challenges of communicating effectively about how to create a more socially responsible world.
Seeking relief or reward? A utilitarian-hedonic journey perspective on escapism
Authors: Ponsignon Frederic , Bauman Matthew , Lunardo Renaud 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to explores the escapist journey that consumers embark on to reduce self-discrepancy, from the motivation to satisfy personal goals to the fulfilment of these goals. Escapism is a powerful concept for understanding why and how people resolve a perceived self-discrepancy. Previous research has provided rich and diverse insights into the motivations and goals, experience contexts and outcomes that are associated with escapism. However, these notions have been explored in an independent, piecemeal fashion that has hampered the development of cohesive theoretical foundations.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors conduct a qualitative study, relying on 33 journeys derived from 20 in-depth interviews, to understand and explain how escapism is initiated, formed and relived.

Findings
The findings document the existence of a predominantly utilitarian and a predominantly hedonic model, articulating why and how consumers pursue distinctly different types of escapist journeys. Utilitarian escapism is primarily concerned with the need to avoid negative emotional states, prompting consumers to decide impulsively to engage into routinised experience contexts to find relief. Hedonic escapism is primarily concerned with the desire to achieve positive emotional states. It involves lengthy and thoughtful anticipation, promotes consumers to pursue experiences in out of the ordinary contexts, and is realised when consumers obtain reward.

Research limitations/implications
This study’s contributions present significant opportunities for further knowledge development.

Practical implications
The research findings have substantial practical ramifications for industry.

Social implications
Understanding people’s needs to avoid the stress of everyday life (i.e. utilitarian escapism) and their desires to seek out excitement and pleasure (i.e. hedonic escapism) has important societal implications.

Originality/value
This research provides a robust theoretical foundation for escapism, one that is applicable across multiple settings. Findings are anchored within existing theory to articulate the notions of utilitarian and hedonic escapism, explaining why and how consumers engage in markedly different escapist journeys.

Authors: Singh Harsh Vardhan , Verma Girish Chandra 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
This study aims to address the challenge of reducing the build time of a fused deposition modeling (FDM) system while maintaining part strength, proposing a hybrid technique combining photopolymerization and FDM.

Design/methodology/approach
For developing the hybrid system, a standard FDM machine was modified to incorporate necessary components so that the whole system can be operated with a single interface; further, the samples were fabricated with conventional and modified process to evaluate the efficacy of the developed system, to determine the extent of time reduction that the proposed methodology can obtain, additionally different sort of 3D models were selected and their build time was compared.

Findings
The modified hybrid mechanism can successfully fabricate parts with a modified G-code. The simulation of the technique shows that a reduction of 34%–87% can be achieved for simpler models such as cube while a reduction ranging from 30.6%–87.8% was observed for complex models. An increase in strength of 6.58%, 11.51% and 37.32% was observed in X, Y and Z directions, along with a significant increase in toughness as compared with FDM parts for parts fabricated with the developed mechanism.

Practical implications
The modified mechanism could be used for fast fabrication purposes, which could be very useful for serving situations such as emergency health care, rapid tooling.

Originality/value
This research contributes a novel hybrid technique for additive manufacturing, offering a substantial reduction in build time without compromising mechanical properties, even increasing them.

Authors: Moral Iqbal Hossain , Rahman Md. Mizanur , Rahman Md. Shahinur , Chowdhury Md. Solaiman , Rahaman Md. Saidur 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
The bread and butter of marginal communities primarily rely on their artisanal work, to which the communities’ women have notable contributions despite facing numerous challenges. This study aims to unveil the challenges along with latent opportunities of different marginal women entrepreneurs in the rural areas of Bangladesh.

Design/methodology/approach
This study used narrative inquiry to explore the real-life business phenomena of 15 marginal women entrepreneurs with more than 5 years of business experience living in 4 districts of Bangladesh. This approach was used to document participants’ responses through the storytelling of their daily business experiences.

Findings
The findings of this paper indicate that vulnerable living conditions, social negligence, availability of substitutes, frequent sickness, increasing price of raw materials, lack of entrepreneurial skills and lack of managerial skills are the major challenges of marginal women entrepreneurs. In contrast, minimum capital requirement, home-based business, traditional profession, retaining cultural heritage and lack of accountability are the main opportunities that motivate marginal women to continue their entrepreneurial activities.

Research limitations/implications
The insight of this research can promote and sustain marginal women entrepreneurship and aid researchers, policymakers and businesses in improving the various entrepreneurial aspects of informal community entrepreneurs in developing countries. However, the study was limited to five marginal community entrepreneurs (Rishi, Kumor, Jele, Cobbler and Kamar) in Bangladesh. Therefore, conducting future research encompassing all marginalized communities is recommended, and empirical studies on this domain are highly encouraged.

Social implications
The insight of this research can promote and sustain marginal women entrepreneurship and aid researchers, policymakers and businesses in improving the various entrepreneurial aspects of informal community entrepreneurs in developing countries.

Originality/value
In the authors’ knowledge, this is unique research on marginal women entrepreneurs in Bangladesh.
Arabic semantic priming for homographs does not result in a boost to all related material
Authors: Aljadaan Noura , Alzaidi Muhammad , Alnasser Suliman Mohammed 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThe aim of this study was to examine whether, when a person reads, there is a boost to all material related to the context in Najdi Arabic (NA) as was found in English in was found in Rodd et al. (2013). The study employs Arabic language features of orthographic style and diglossia to answer the research question.Design/methodology/approachForty-two participants were asked to come on two sessions to complete a reading task, a filler task and a word recognition task. The word recognition task included 14 homographs that could mean one thing in Modern Standard Arabic and another in NA.FindingsThe findings show that the assumption that all related materials are ready to be used when readers are exposed to the context is not valid for the two Arabic variants.Research limitations/implicationsOne limitation of this study was that the participants were all female.Originality/valueThe findings could help writers write better texts to help individuals who struggle with reading comprehension whether it is because of dyslexia, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as when researchers understand how priming works, they might be able to help readers in their reading fluency and comprehension (Rodd et al., 2016). This could be by producing better texts to comprehend or using semantic priming in classroom setups.

Handling protracted crises: Communication challenges, constraints and opportunities
Authors: Ihlen Øyvind , Kjeldsen Jens E. , Offerdal Truls Strand 
Published: June 2024

AbstractRecent research on crisis communication has focused on the challenges of complex and protracted crises. In this essay, it is argued that such crises must be handled communicatively by putting the communication challenges, constraints and opportunities at the centre. To this end, the combination of the notions of the rhetorical situation and kairos is suggested as a keystone that provides a bottom‐up, context‐sensitive approach needed to cope with the fluid and changing situations of such crisis. Importantly, the life cycle of a protracted crisis can not only be understood in terms of physical factors (e.g., infection rates in a pandemic) but is also formed through the public's perceptions and the communicative choices of crisis communicators calling for action to mitigate or end a crisis. The rhetorical situation and kairos highlight the importance of spatial temporality, the uniqueness of the situations and the constitutive dimension of communication in a crisis. This implies the identification of the opportune moments to present a response and recognising the important ‘spaces’ between typical crisis situations.
Seasonal variation in metabolic profiles and microbial communities in a subarctic ore processing plant
Authors: Bomberg Malin , Miettinen Hanna , Kinnunen Päivi 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe mining industry strives to reduce its water footprint by recycling water in ore processing. This leads to build‐up of ions, flotation chemicals and microbial biomass, which may affect the process. The Boliden Kevitsa mine in Northern Finland is exposed to seasonal change and recycles up to 90% of the process water. We studied the variation in size, composition and putative functions of microbial communities in summer and winter in the ore processing plant. The raw water, Cu and Ni thickener overflow waters had statistically significantly higher bacterial numbers in winter compared to summer, and specific summer and winter communities were identified. Metagenomic analysis indicated that Cu and Hg resistance genes, sulphate/thiosulphate, molybdate, iron(III) and zinc ABC transporters, nitrate reduction, denitrification, thiosulphate oxidation and methylotrophy were more common in winter than in summer. Raw water drawn from the nearby river did not affect the microbial communities in the process samples, indicating that the microbial communities and metabolic capacities develop within the process over time in response to the conditions in the processing plant, water chemistry, used chemicals, ore properties and seasonal variation. We propose that the microbial community structures are unique to the Boliden Kevitsa mine and processing plant.
Protocol for scoping review: Patient‐controlled sedation
Authors: Davodi Jasmin , Intzilaki Christina V. , Steenholdt Casper , Moeller Ann M. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractBackgroundIn settings where general anaesthesia is unnecessary, effective sedation, analgesia and local anaesthesia are crucial for optimal outcomes. Traditionally, sedation have been managed and controlled by healthcare professionals, but advancements in pharmacology and technology have renewed the way we are able to sedate. Patient‐controlled sedation (PCS) offers a promising approach, allowing patients to adjust their sedation levels during procedures. This shift aims to enhance sedation quality, improve patient satisfaction and involvement and expedite discharge.MethodsThe search strategy will be crafted in partnership with the Librarian well‐versed in scoping reviews. ‘Patient controlled sedation’ is a wide search. The search will include databases, as MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL and Google Scholar. All literature findings will be entered into a web‐based screening and data extraction tool. Two independent reviewers will assess the eligibility and inclusion of all studies. The variables to be extracted will encompass trial characteristics, participant characteristics, assessment of PCS, identified risk factors for PCS, and the evaluation of patient satisfaction as assessed in the included studies.ResultsFollowing PRISMA‐P and PRISMA‐ScR guidelines, this scoping review includes studies of any design. Data synthesis involves descriptive statistics and narrative presentations to explore the relationship between results and objectives. The outcome will be which procedures/surgeries PCS is used for and which patients are eligible for PCS. Additionally, aspects such as patient and operator satisfaction, economical pros and cons adverse effects will be considered.ConclusionThe scoping review will aim to give a better understanding of in which settings PCS is used. This scoping review provides a comprehensive understanding of PCS and identifies gaps in the literature to shape future research, so we can ensure the best possible sedation for patients in the future.
