Sustainability accounting reporting: issues for the automobile industry
Authors: García-Piña Rosete Juan Carlos , Hernandez Barros Rafael 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this research is to highlight the imperative need for an internationally accepted standard for sustainability accounting reporting, not exclusive to the analyzed sector but across all industries.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper uses an enhanced analysis of existing empirical literature on accounting reporting for sustainability efforts in corporate practices. The study uses two statistical techniques: multiple linear regression analysis and structural equations modeling, focusing on a sample drawn from the Newsweek Green Rankings within the automobile industry. Specifically, the analysis is conducted on data spanning from 2014 to 2016, covering three years and comprises 25 corporations from the Global Fortune 500 list.

Findings
The empirical analysis reveals a significant gap in sustainable reporting practices, highlighting the challenges of nonstandardized managerial accounting across the globe. This research portrays key benefits including enhanced data accessibility and the adoption of sustainable practices across industries. Furthermore, assisting in academic research.

Research limitations/implications
The study addresses challenges in researching sustainability constraints across various dimensions. The obtained empirical data could inform stakeholders, including accounting setters and managers in the automobile industry, about the pressing need to set uniform sustainability constraints comprehensively and to implement global reporting standards to foster transparency and accountability.

Practical implications
The sustainability accounting setters, such as Sustainability Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation, face the challenge of adopting globally accepted accounting standards for sustainability reporting. The statistical evidence correlates sustainable variables with three profitability margins (earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before interest taxes, depreciation and amortization and pretax), providing empirical proof of the degree of correlation among them.

Social implications
This paper aims to collaborate with the Meditari Accountancy Research Journal in bridging the gap in international standards for sustainability accounting reporting. It emphasizes the global significance of achieving a standardized approach to reporting for sustainability and its potential positive impact on corporations, governments, academic research teams and society.

Originality/value
Diverse societal stakeholders have advocated for the implementation of a more sustainable world. Currently, there is no international agreement on how to report for sustainability efforts. This paper evidences this gap, which if persistent would not allow for an accurate evaluation of progress and fulfillment of goals, causing a subpar performance without standard measures.
Beyond the loom: understanding handloom product purchase motivations using the extended theory of planned behavior
Authors: K Arunarjun , T  
Published: June 2024

Purpose
This study aims to identify the variables affecting consumers’ decision to buy handloom products. To build a more complete model to help us reach this goal, consumer satisfaction (CS) and e-commerce (ECOM) variables were added to Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior (TPB).

Design/methodology/approach
Data were obtained from 412 participants who were consumers of Pochampally handloom silk sarees (PHSS). Information was obtained through a structured questionnaire from February to July 2023, and an online survey was conducted using Google Forms. A study was conducted to empirically examine this phenomenon using the Warp PLS version 8.0.

Findings
This study reveals that CS affects the purchasing behavior of PHSS. Similarly, ECOM had no direct impact on respondents’ PHSS purchasing behavior, attitudes and perceived controls, significantly impacting their purchase intentions (PIs). Subjective norms have a negative effect on PHSS product PIs.

Originality/value
This study investigates the differences between consumer attitudes and actions. To increase handloom product consumption in developing nations, it is necessary to understand the cause of this difference. Few studies have been conducted in India using the TPB. This study contributes to this research field.
Leveraging supply chain visibility for implementing just-in-case practices: the roles of knowledge and digital resources bundling
Authors: Yu Wantao , Jacobs Mark , Chavez Roberto , Song Yongtao 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
This study aims to explore how bundling knowledge resources (i.e. knowledge integration mechanisms [KIMs]) and digital resources (i.e. big data-powered artificial intelligence [BDAI]) can enhance supply chain visibility (SCV) capabilities for implementing just-in-case (JIC) practices.

Design/methodology/approach
Analysis of survey data from Chinese manufacturers was conducted to test the proposed hypotheses.

Findings
The results reveal a significant positive effect of KIMs on BDAI, as well as positive effects of both BDAI and KIMs on SCV. Furthermore, the results suggest that SCV partially mediates the KIMs–JIC relationship and fully mediates the BDAI–JIC relationship.

Originality/value
This study advances the digital SC and inventory management literature by proposing and empirically testing a digital JIC model that explores how to bundle knowledge and digital resources into SC capabilities for managing JIC inventory in uncertain and digital times.
Creating a shared vision of preparing scholarly practitioners: an EdD faculty collaborative autoethnography
Authors: Lambrev Veselina , Cruz Bárbara C. , Kiefer Sarah M. , Shaunessy-Dedrick Elizabeth 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
In this collaborative autoethnographic study, four faculty members in a US-based Doctor of Education (EdD) program reflected individually and collectively in the authors’ community of practice through reflective journaling, self-reflection and discussion sessions to analyze the individual stories critically. This study aims to examine the influence of the authors’ involvement with an EdD program on the academic approaches to teaching, research and mentoring EdD students.

Design/methodology/approach
Professional practice doctorates have emerged in response to the growing need for practitioners to use evidence for continuous improvement. Although the literature has highlighted faculty members as change agents redefining the EdD as a professional practice doctorate, minimal research has explored how their involvement in such design work may affect their academic practices.

Findings
The authors perceived the involvement with the EdD program as transforming the faculty practices in five ways (i.e. shifting the epistemologies, embracing practice-based pedagogies, engaging in practice-based research, mentoring scholarly practitioners and intentional community building) and creating a shared vision of preparing scholarly practitioners.

Originality/value
The authors draw implications for redesigning EdD programs through participation in a faculty community of practice, prompting faculty to shift their practices to better support scholarly practitioners and affecting their identity as teachers, mentors and program developers.
Appearance vanity or achievement vanity: which better predicts young consumers’ decision-making orientations?
Authors: Cengiz Hakan , Gokce Arpa Rabiya , Sezgin Kubra Nur 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
This study aims to operationalize consumer decision-making styles as higher-order constructs and investigates the influence of two distinct subdimensions of consumer vanity – namely, appearance vanity and achievement vanity – on consumer decision-making orientations (CDMO).

Design/methodology/approach
Using data from an online survey of 319 young adults, the authors construct a higher-order structural model capturing the following three orientations: social/conspicuous, utilitarian and undesirable. The partial least squares structural equation modeling approach was used to test the validity of the higher-order structural model and the hypothesized relationships.

Findings
Results, confirming the higher-order structure of consumer decision-making styles, highlight the distinctive impacts of the vanity dimensions on different CDMOs. Specifically, appearance vanity predominantly affects social and undesirable orientations, and achievement vanity influences utilitarian orientation.

Originality/value
While several theoretical classifications of consumer decision-making styles have been proposed in the past, none of the earlier studies leveraged those classifications as higher-order models. Addressing this literature gap, this study provides empirical evidence associating CDMOs with a specific consumer trait – vanity – thereby validating the higher-order nature of consumer decision-making styles.

ObjectivesUnresectable ampullary cancer (AC) is a rare disease entity. The risk factors for recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) following endoscopic biliary stenting (EBS) for unresectable AC remain unknown. In this study we aimed to evaluate the cumulative RBO rate and to identify risk factors for RBO following palliative EBS in patients with unresectable AC.MethodsThis multicenter retrospective observational study enrolled consecutive patients with unresectable AC who had undergone palliative EBS between April 2011 and December 2021. The cumulative rate of and risk factors for RBO following palliative EBS were evaluated via multivariate analysis.ResultsThe study analysis comprised 107 patients with a median age of 84 years (interquartile range 79–88 years). Plastic stents (PSs) and self‐expandable metal stents (SEMSs) were placed in 53 and 54 patients, respectively. Functional success was accomplished in 104 (97.2%) patients. Of these, RBO occurred in 62 (59.6%) patients, with obstruction and complete/partial migration occurring in 47 and 15 patients, respectively. The median time to RBO was 190 days. Multivariate analysis showed that PS was associated with a higher rate of RBO compared to SEMS (hazard ratio [HR] 2.48;P < 0.01) and that the presence of common bile duct stones/sludge immediately after EBS was an independent risk factor for RBO (HR 1.99;P= 0.04).ConclusionsThe use of SEMS compared to PS during EBS reduced the time to RBO in patients with unresectable AC. Common bile duct stones/sludge immediately after EBS was a risk factor for RBO.
Effects of early social isolation and adolescent single prolonged stress on anxiety‐like behaviors and voluntary ethanol consumption in female Long Evans rats

Published: June 2024

AbstractBackgroundExposure to stress during childhood and adolescence is a risk factor for alcohol use disorder (AUD) and comorbid conditions, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We previously established an adolescent social isolation (SI) model that leads to the emergence of a wide range of behavioral risk factors for AUD, including increased anxiety‐like behavior, locomotor activity, and ethanol consumption in male and female rats. Here, we sought to test the hypothesis that SI may increase vulnerability to single prolonged stress (SPS), a rodent model of PTSD.MethodsFemale Long Evans rats (n = 8/group) were either single‐housed or group‐housed (GH) (4/cage) on postnatal day 21. One week later, rats underwent testing in the open field test (OFT), elevated plus‐maze (EPM), and successive alleys test (SAT). Following initial behavioral testing, a subset of SI/GH rats were exposed to SPS. All rats were then tested on the novelty‐suppressed feeding test (NSFT) followed by fear conditioning and home cage two‐bottle choice to assess ethanol consumption.ResultsSI significantly increased activity in the OFT and anxiety‐like behavior on the SAT, but not the EPM. While SI and SPS alone had no effect on the NSFT, exposure to both stressors significantly increased approach latency. Complex effects of stress history were observed across a 3‐day fear conditioning paradigm and no group differences were observed with home cage ethanol consumption, regardless of prior ethanol exposure.ConclusionsThe results from this study provide novel evidence that SI interacts with SPS in female rats to influence behavior in assays of unconditioned anxiety‐like behavior (NSFT) and conditioned fear. Surprisingly, stress exposure had no effect on home cage ethanol consumption. Ultimately, these models provide useful avenues to examine the interaction between stressful experiences, alcohol exposure, biological sex, and the neurobiological adaptations underlying potential risk factors for psychiatric conditions.

AbstractThe rhizosphere influence on the soil microbiome and function of crop wild progenitors (CWPs) remains virtually unknown, despite its relevance to develop microbiome‐oriented tools in sustainable agriculture. Here, we quantified the rhizosphere influence—a comparison between rhizosphere and bulk soil samples—on bacterial, fungal, protists and invertebrate communities and on soil multifunctionality across nine CWPs at their sites of origin. Overall, rhizosphere influence was higher for abundant taxa across the four microbial groups and had a positive influence on rhizosphere soil organic C and nutrient contents compared to bulk soils. The rhizosphere influence on abundant soil microbiomes was more important for soil multifunctionality than rare taxa and environmental conditions. Our results are a starting point towards the use of CWPs for rhizosphere engineering in modern crops.

AbstractAimsThis study aimed to identify the genetic risk factors from donors or recipients that contribute to postliver transplantation (LT) steatotic liver disease (SLD), focusing on the genetic risk score (GRS) based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SLD patients.MethodsThis retrospective study included 55 Japanese SLD recipients and their respective donors. Genotyping of PNPLA3, TM6SF2, and HSD17B13 was undertaken, and the combined GRS was calculated. The relationship between the GRS and the incidence of posttransplant SLD was also evaluated.ResultsThe SLD recipients had a high prevalence of post‐LT graft steatosis/steatohepatitis (76.4% and 58.2%, respectively). Although the recipients had a high frequency of risk alleles, there was no relationship between the number of risk alleles for each SNP and the incidence of posttransplant SLD. In contrast, an increased number of risk alleles for any SNP in the donor was correlated with high incidence rates of both post‐LT steatosis and steatohepatitis. A multivariable analysis showed that a high donor GRS was an independent risk factor for graft steatosis (odds ratio 8.77; 95% CI, 1.94–52.94; p = 0.009). Similarly, a high donor GRS was an independent risk factor (odds ratio 6.76; 95% CI, 1.84–30.78; p = 0.007) for post‐LT graft steatohepatitis.ConclusionsDonor risk alleles of PNPLA3, TM6SF2, and HSD17B13, rather than recipient risk alleles, have been implicated in the development of posttransplant SLD. The combination of these donor risk alleles into a GRS could predict the development of posttransplant SLD.

Published: June 2024

ABSTRACTA simulation study was conducted for assessing the climate change impact on wheat cultivars (HD2967 and PBW725) under RCP 4.5 and RCP 6.0 scenarios for four agroclimatic zones (AZ) of Punjab. The yield trend during 70 years (2025–95) using the CERES‐Wheat model was assessed for different sowing windows (end October to end November). The maximum/minimum temperature and rainfall, respectively, during the season varied between 25–27°C/9–12°C and 27–103 mm (AZ II), 24–27°C/8–13°C and 37–105 mm (AZ III), 24–26°C/9–12°C and 20–80 mm (AZ IV) and 23–26°C/9–12°C and 30–71 mm (AZ V). The climatic conditions largely vary across the state, because of which only AZs II, III and V were found productive for wheat crop with most of the years lying in the high yield (>5000 kg/ha) category. The sowing of HD2967 during mid to end November would be suitable adaptation strategy for wheat growers in the state.

Published: June 2024

AbstractIn recent years, many kinds of interventions have been developed that seek to reduce susceptibility to misinformation. In two preregistered longitudinal studies (N1 = 503, N2 = 673), we leverage two previously validated “inoculation” interventions (a video and a game) to address two important questions in misinformation interventions research: (1) whether displaying additional stimuli (such as videos unrelated to misinformation) alongside an intervention interferes with its effectiveness, and (2) whether administering an immediate posttest (in the form of a social media post evaluation task after the intervention) plays a role in the longevity of the intervention. We find no evidence that other stimuli interfere with intervention efficacy, but strong evidence that immediate posttests strengthen the learnings from the intervention. In study 1, we find that 48 h after watching a video, participants who received an immediate posttest continued to be significantly better at discerning untrustworthy social media posts from neutral ones than the control group (d = 0.416, p = .007), whereas participants who only received a posttest 48 h later showed no differences with a control (d = 0.010, p = .854). In study 2, we observe highly similar results for a gamified intervention, and provide evidence for a causal mechanism: immediate posttests help strengthen people's memory of the lessons learned in the intervention. We argue that the active rehearsal and application of relevant information are therefore requirements for the longevity of learning‐based misinformation interventions, which has substantial implications for their scalability.

AbstractKidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) pathogenesis intricately involves immune system dynamics, particularly the role of T cells within the tumour microenvironment. Through a multifaceted approach encompassing single‐cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptome analysis and bulk transcriptome profiling, we systematically explored the contribution of infiltrating T cells to KIRC heterogeneity. Employing high‐density weighted gene co‐expression network analysis (hdWGCNA), module scoring and machine learning, we identified a distinct signature of infiltrating T cell‐associated genes (ITSGs). Spatial transcriptomic data were analysed using robust cell type decomposition (RCTD) to uncover spatial interactions. Further analyses included enrichment assessments, immune infiltration evaluations and drug susceptibility predictions. Experimental validation involved PCR experiments, CCK‐8 assays, plate cloning assays, wound‐healing assays and Transwell assays. Six subpopulations of infiltrating and proliferating T cells were identified in KIRC, with notable dynamics observed in mid‐ to late‐stage disease progression. Spatial analysis revealed significant correlations between T cells and epithelial cells across varying distances within the tumour microenvironment. The ITSG‐based prognostic model demonstrated robust predictive capabilities, implicating these genes in immune modulation and metabolic pathways and offering prognostic insights into drug sensitivity for 12 KIRC treatment agents. Experimental validation underscored the functional relevance of PPIB in KIRC cell proliferation, invasion and migration. Our study comprehensively characterizes infiltrating T‐cell heterogeneity in KIRC using single‐cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptome data. The stable prognostic model based on ITSGs unveils infiltrating T cells' prognostic potential, shedding light on the immune microenvironment and offering avenues for personalized treatment and immunotherapy.

AbstractSchistosomiasis is a parasitic disease characterized by liver fibrosis, a process driven by the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and subsequent collagen production. Previous studies from our laboratory have demonstrated the ability of Schistosoma japonicum protein P40 (SjP40) to inhibit HSCs activation and exert an antifibrotic effect. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying the inhibitory effect of recombinant SjP40 (rSjP40) on HSCs activation. Using a cell model in which rSjP40 inhibited LX‐2 cell activation, we performed RNA‐seq analyses and identified ATF3 as the most significantly altered gene. Further investigation revealed that rSjP40 inhibited HSCs activation partly by suppressing ATF3 activation. Knockdown of ATF3 in mouse liver significantly alleviated S. japonicum‐induced liver fibrosis. Moreover, our results indicate that ATF3 is a direct target of microRNA‐494‐3p, a microRNA associated with anti‐liver fibrosis effects. rSjP40 was found to downregulate ATF3 expression by upregulating microRNA‐494‐3p in LX‐2 cells. This downregulation led to the inhibition of the expression of liver fibrosis proteins α‐SMA and COL1A1, ultimately alleviating liver fibrosis caused by S. japonicum.
