Not because it is easy … accounting research enters the space age
Authors: Tucker Basil P. , Alewine Hank C. 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThis article introduces the AAAJ special issue's content and, in so doing, aims to reflect on the contribution that accounting as a discipline is placed to make within the more contemporary context of space exploration, the space economy and public space policy.Design/methodology/approachThe paper draws together, identifies, expands upon and advances opportunities available to researchers seeking to investigate the ways in which accounting research and practice might inform the modern space sector.FindingsPapers comprising the AAAJ special issue are informed by authors with diverse research backgrounds (including various accounting subfields and non-accounting business disciplines) and varying methodological approaches, including positivist, interpretivist as well as critical research paradigms. Interestingly, the call for papers also attracted several non-accounting academics or academics who have not traditionally undertaken or engaged appreciably with accounting research. This diverse approach to addressing initial space accounting questions should help establish a firm launching point for future research advances.Originality/valueThe paper's originality lies in advancing a need to engage with the unique demands of “the New Space Age”, requiring fundamentally innovative approaches to many aspects of accounting such as financial accounting, management accounting and sustainability accounting as well as contextualising or re-contextualising current accounting concepts, principles and thinking to apply to a new setting.
An efficient path planning approach for autonomous multi-UAV system in target coverage problems
Authors: Pehlivanoglu Volkan Yasin , Pehlivanoğlu Perihan 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present an efficient path planning method for the multi-UAV system in target coverage problems.

Design/methodology/approach
An enhanced particle swarm optimizer (PSO) is used to solve the path planning problem, which concerns the two-dimensional motion of multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a three-dimensional environment. Enhancements include an improved initial swarm generation and prediction strategy for succeeding generations. Initial swarm improvements include the clustering process managed by fuzzy c-means clustering method, ordering procedure handled by ant colony optimizer and design vector change. Local solutions form the foundation of a prediction strategy.

Findings
Numerical simulations show that the proposed method could find near-optimal paths for multi-UAVs effectively.

Practical implications
Simulations indicate the proposed method could be deployed for autonomous multi-UAV systems with target coverage problems.

Originality/value
The proposed method combines intelligent methods in the early phase of PSO, handles obstacle avoidance problems with a unique approach and accelerates the process by adding a prediction strategy.
SME productivity and university collaboration: does past performance influence future performance?
Authors: Johnston Andrew , Prokop Daniel 
Published: June 2024

PurposeAs little is known about the productivity levels of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaging with universities and the relative changes in productivity of SMEs subsequent to these collaborations, the paper examines the following questions: (1) Does the relative productivity of SMEs engaging in university collaboration differ from those that do not? (2) Are subsequent changes in firm productivity following university collaboration related to their initial levels of productivity?Design/methodology/approachThe paper utilises data on 254 SMEs from the Longitudinal Small Business Survey and uses two statistical techniques: First, bivariate tests of difference were used to inspect the relationships between productivity levels and whether the firm collaborated with a university to introduce its innovation. Second, ordinary least squares regressions were used to test whether the future productivity of SMEs that collaborated with universities was related to their initial productivity levels.FindingsThe analysis reveals that SME–university collaboration is unrelated to starting productivity. Furthermore, the analysis suggests a nonlinear relationship exists between the starting productivity of SMEs and their subsequent productivity following a university collaboration. Therefore, higher levels of subsequent productivity are observed among those SMEs where starting productivity was either relatively low or high, suggesting that collaborations have a transformative effect on SMEs with relatively lower initial levels of productivity and a maintenance effect for SMEs with relatively higher levels of initial productivity.Practical implicationsGiven the fact that the extant literature also suggests that, overall, university collaboration is beneficial, policymakers should strive to encourage greater levels of collaboration involving SMEs. In light of the evidence that SME–university collaborations can transform less productive firms, it appears unjustified for practitioners and policymakers to only consider stronger-performing firms to be included in such programmes.Originality/valueThe study contributes new theoretical and practical knowledge to the understanding of the role of firm productivity in predicting the proclivity of firms to collaborate with universities. Furthermore, as few studies have examined the impact of these collaborations on the subsequent productivity of firms that collaborate with universities, this paper fills an existing gap in the literature.
Not all sunshine and rainbows: exploring the dark side of AI in interactive marketing
Authors: Labrecque Lauren I. , Peña Priscilla Y. , Leonard Hillary , Leger Rosemary 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThe surge of artificial intelligence (AI) applications and subsequent adoption by consumers and marketers has ignited substantial research exploring the benefits and opportunities of AI. Despite this, little attention has been given to its unintended negative consequences. In this paper, the authors examine both the practitioner and academic sides of ethical AI. In doing so, the authors conduct an extensive review of the AI literature to identify potential issues pertaining to three areas: individual consumers, societal and legal. The authors identify gaps and offer questions to drive future research.Design/methodology/approachThe authors review recent academic literature on AI in marketing journals, and top ethical principles from three top technology developers (Google, IBM and Meta) in conjunction with media reports of negative AI incents. They also identify gaps and opportunities for future research based on this review.FindingsThe bibliographic review reveals a small number of academic papers in marketing that focus on ethical considerations for AI adoption. The authors highlight concerns for academic researchers, marketing practitioners and AI developers across three main areas and highlight important issues relating to interactive marketing.Originality/valueThis paper highlights the under-researched negative outcomes of AI adoption. Through an extensive literature review, coupled with current responsible AI principles adopted by major technology companies, this research provides a framework for examining the dark side of AI.
Performance vs. lottery: department transfer system desired by employees
Authors: Kato Takumi , Hayami Katsuya , Ikeda Ryosuke , Koizumi Masaki 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
Among the nonfinancial rewards for employees are career development opportunities, for which an important measure is department transfers. This is because departments are unevenly popular, and assigning everyone to their desired department is difficult. However, research on department transfers is limited to improving the efficiency of human resources utilization from a management perspective, with employee perspectives being lacking. This study aims to fill this gap in the literature.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors conducted a randomized controlled trial in an online survey environment with 2,000 full-time employees in Japan. Through the lens of self-determination theory, the authors hypothesized that employees seek department transfers based on performance rather than department transfers based on luck (lottery).

Findings
The results supported the hypothesis. For performance-based department transfers, an acceptance probability of 30% was found to be appropriate. Furthermore, mid-career, male, staff-level employees, those with experience of changing jobs and those who are more satisfied with their current job were more likely to seek this system.

Practical implications
Corporate managers should note that employees emphasize self-determination regarding their careers, dislike relying based on luck and seek department transfers relying on merit-based performance.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to determine the desirable system design for department transfers from the employee’s perspective and extend self-determination theory.
Practice‐focused reflections on adaptive behaviour assessment in autism specialist education
Authors: Eysenck Alicia H. , Sewell Samantha , Wakeford SallyAnn , Richards Sophie , Taylor Joanna , Moseley Rachel L. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractAdaptive behaviour is crucial for well‐being and independence. The Adaptive Behaviour Assessment System (ABAS‐3) is often used to plan individualised support in specialist educational settings, drawing on both teacher and parent informants. In practice, however, little is known about the extent of variation between informants. We examined informant discrepancies in a naturally occurring dataset of 28 ABAS‐3 assessments (21 male, seven female), performed by teachers and by parents post‐admission at an autism specialist school. We found that in real‐life practice, teachers rated the adaptive functioning capabilities of their students significantly more highly than parents across all ABAS‐3 domains, a discrepancy significantly greater than validation studies with this instrument, and interestingly, non‐uniform across domains. The magnitude of this discrepancy was largest in the Conceptual domain, where differences between informants were greater in older children. The skill area most affected was ‘self‐direction’, which includes aspects of executive function. Existing guidance for adaptive functioning assessment in specialist education is extremely limited; while considering potential sources of informant discrepancy, our findings corroborate the need for further guidance on the use and scope of tools like the ABAS‐3 in educational settings. While such discrepancies may confound population‐level data, individually, these skills may be indicative of greater need to support generalisation across contexts, and may indicate the particular skill areas that are most amenable to intervention.
Navigating the storm: Transformational leadership in engaging on robust crisis response planning
Authors: Basurto‐Cedeno Estefania , Pennington‐Gray Lori 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThis study explores the impact of transformational leadership style on hurricane crisis response planning in the coastal destinations of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Using the Perceived Transformational Leadership Scale (PTLS) proposed by Donmez and Toker, alongside demographic variables, employment profiles and past crisis experiences, the study investigates how leaders' innate leadership characteristics influence crisis response adoption. Results indicate that transformational leadership significantly predicts engagement in crisis response planning, surpassing other predictors such as employment profile and experience. The study also validates the PTLS's usability across different contexts and its ability to predict varied behaviours beyond job satisfaction. Additionally, it underscores the importance of considering transformational leadership traits in managerial recruitment for risk management roles. The findings theoretically contribute by reinforcing the independence of transformational leadership scale items and informing recruitment processes and decision‐making in hurricane‐prone coastal regions.
Plastic and terrestrial organic matter degradation by the humic lake microbiome continues throughout the seasons
Authors: Vesamäki Jussi S. , Laine Miikka B. , Nissinen Riitta , Taipale Sami J. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractBoreal freshwaters go through four seasons, however, studies about the decomposition of terrestrial and plastic compounds often focus only on summer. We compared microbial decomposition of 13C‐polyethylene, 13C‐polystyrene, and 13C‐plant litter (Typha latifolia) by determining the biochemical fate of the substrate carbon and identified the microbial decomposer taxa in humic lake waters in four seasons. For the first time, the annual decomposition rate including separated seasonal variation was calculated for microplastics and plant litter in the freshwater system. Polyethylene decomposition was not detected, whereas polystyrene and plant litter were degraded in all seasons. In winter, decomposition rates of polystyrene and plant litter were fivefold and fourfold slower than in summer, respectively. Carbon from each substrate was mainly respired in all seasons. Plant litter was utilized efficiently by various microbial groups, whereas polystyrene decomposition was limited to Alpha‐ and Gammaproteobacteria. The decomposition was not restricted only to the growth season, highlighting that the decomposition of both labile organic matter and extremely recalcitrant microplastics continues throughout the seasons.
Bark beetles on logging residues of European larch: Effects of shading and diameter of logging residues on infestation density
Authors: Špoula Jakub , Kula Emanuel 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Ips cembrae, an important pest of European larch (Larix decidua), has caused local outbreaks in the last two decades and is becoming increasingly important as the proportion of European larch in forests increases.
In 2021–2023, larch logs and piles of branches were placed into shaded forest and sunlit areas every month to study bark beetle species on logging residues. After adult emergence, the logs and branches were debarked, and the infestation density of bark beetles was analysed. The results indicate that shading, log diameter and top/bottom parts of log had a significant effect on infestation density of I. cembrae on logs. The infestation density of I. cembrae was higher on logs felled between December and June than on logs felled between July and November.
Shading of branches was the most significant variable affecting the bark beetle species composition on branches. All four of the bark beetle species recorded were affected by diameter of the branches. Ips cembrae primarily infested sunlit branches while Cryphalus intermedius preferred shaded branches. In contrast, the infestation densities of Pityogenes chalcographus and Pityophthorus pityographus seemed to be affected primarily by moisture content of the branches.
Queer debt
Authors: Karakuş Emrah 
Published: June 2024

AbstractIn the Kurdish‐majority city of Amed (Diyarbakır), Turkey, the local sex work economy has become increasingly and intimately interwoven with institutions, discourses, and practices of securitization. In this context, queer and trans Kurds adopt, adapt, and use surveillance to negotiate the value of their work and life with one another, the broader community, and the state. These negotiations involve vocabularies, strategies, and affective attachments derived from the long‐standing militarized conflict between the Turkish state and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party. Key to this dynamic is the notion of bedel, or the indebtedness and obligation that Kurds feel toward the struggle for Kurdish rights. Through affective debt, queer and trans Kurds police boundaries for their security and livelihoods through surveillance, defining those who can and cannot do sex work. In the process, they shift the meanings and functions of bedel as they endure, embody, and embrace violence and homophobia to gain acceptance of their identities.
Clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of empagliflozin in patients with heart failure
Authors: Rascher Juliane , Cotton Dan , Haertter Sebastian , Brueckmann Martina 
Published: June 2024

AimsThe aim of this work is to compare empagliflozin systemic exposure between patients with heart failure (HF) and patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).MethodsAnalysis of covariance (ANCOVA) compared steady state trough concentrations of empagliflozin 10 mg in EMPEROR‐reduced (patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF]) and EMPA‐REG OUTCOME (patients with T2D at high cardiovascular risk) after adjusting for eGFR and body weight.ResultsThe difference in geometric Mean (gMean) empagliflozin steady state trough concentration of 10 mg empagliflozin between EMPEROR‐reduced and EMPA‐REG OUTCOME was 1.47‐fold (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.33, 1.63). Additionally, ANCOVA for the sub‐group of patients with both T2D and HF conditions revealed a difference in gMean steady state trough concentration of 1.53‐fold (95% CI: 1.26, 1.85). In both patients with HFrEF and HF with preserved EF (HFpEF), there was no major difference in empagliflozin steady state trough exposure by New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification or by use of angiotensin receptor‐neprilysin inhibitor as comedication. A weak positive correlation was observed for NT‐proBNP at Week 12 and empagliflozin steady state trough concentration in both patients with HFrEF and HFpEF (Pearson correlation r = 0.19).ConclusionsPlasma concentrations of empagliflozin in patients with HF were higher compared to patients with T2D, but the exposure resulting from the 10 mg dose was still below the exposure resulting from the dose of 25 mg approved in patients with T2D. The difference in exposure was attributable to demographic characteristics and HF‐induced pathophysiological changes. Overall, the results confirm 10 mg as the appropriate empagliflozin dose in patients with HF.

AimsA population‐based pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling approach (PopPK) was used to investigate the impact of Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on the PK of (R)‐ and (S)‐carvedilol. We aimed to optimize carvedilol dosing for these patients utilizing a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) link model.MethodsPopPK models were developed utilizing data from 52 subjects, including nonobese, obese, and post‐ RYGB patients who received rac‐ carvedilol orally. Covariate analysis included anthropometric and laboratory data, history of RYGB surgery, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 in vivo activity, and relative intestinal abundance of major drug‐ metabolizing enzymes and transporters. A direct effect inhibitory Emax pharmacodynamic model was linked to the PK model of (S)‐ carvedilol to simulate the changes in exercise‐ induced heart rate.ResultsA 2‐compartmental model with linear elimination and parallel first‐order absorptions best described (S)‐carvedilol PK. RYGB led to a twofold reduction in relative oral bioavailability compared to nonoperated subjects, along with delayed absorption of both enantiomers. The intestinal ABCC2 mRNA expression increases the time to reach the maximum plasma concentration. The reduced exposure (AUC) of (S)‐carvedilol post‐RYGB corresponded to a 33% decrease in the predicted area under the effect curve (AUEC) for the 24‐hour β‐blocker response. Simulation results suggested that a 50‐mg daily dose in post‐RYGB patients achieved comparable AUC and AUEC to 25‐mg dose in nonoperated subjects.ConclusionIntegrated PK/PD modeling indicated that standard dosage regimens for nonoperated subjects do not provide equivalent β‐blocking activity in RYGB patients. This study highlights the importance of personalized dosing strategies to attain desired therapeutic outcomes in this patient cohort.
Brusatol induces ferroptosis to inhibit hepatocellular carcinoma progression by targeting ATF3

Published: June 2024

AbstractFerroptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death that is triggered by iron‐dependent lipid peroxidation. Brusatol (BRU), a natural nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2 inhibitor, exhibits potent anticancer effects in various types of cancer. However, the exact mechanism of BRU in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unknown. The anticancer effects of BRU in HCC were detected using cell counting kit‐8 and colony formation assays and a xenograft model. RNA sequencing (RNA‐seq) and bioinformatics analyses of HCC cells were utilized to elucidate the mechanism underlying the effects of BRU in HCC. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and Fe2+ were measured using assay kits. The expression of activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) was tested using RT‐qPCR, western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining. The role of ATF3 in BRU‐induced ferroptosis was examined using siATF3. BRU significantly inhibited HCC cell proliferation, both in vitro and in vivo. BRU activated the ferroptosis signaling pathway and increased ATF3 expression. Furthermore, ATF3 knockdown impeded BRU‐induced ferroptosis. BRU suppressed HCC growth through ATF3‐mediated ferroptosis, supporting BRU as a promising therapeutic agent for HCC.
The Correlation Between Exposure to Violence and Parental Monitoring: Differences Between Mothers and Fathers From Palestinian–Israeli Families
Authors: Ali‐Saleh Darawshy Neveen 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACTIn this study, I investigated the correlations between retrospectively reported experiences of child abuse in the family‐of‐origin and exposure to community violence as adults on parental monitoring among Palestinian–Israeli parents. A sample of 760 parents (453 mothers, 59.6%) participated in the study. A self‐administered questionnaire was used. Results showed that both experiencing child abuse and community violence victimization were associated with high levels of parental stress, and experiencing child abuse was also associated with low levels of parental monitoring. Indirect effects of parental stress were found between both types of violence exposure and parental monitoring. Among mothers, there were additional indirect effects between violence exposure and parental monitoring. These findings suggest that exposure to multiple contexts of violence correlated with parental behaviours, and parenting programmes should focus on reducing parental stress and improving parental monitoring, considering the gender differences. Overall, this study highlights the importance of addressing the outcomes of trauma on parenting monitoring, which can have significant implications for public health.
