Authors: Li Xing , Zhang Guiyang , Zheng Fangyuan , Qi Yong , Lu Chang 
Published: June 2024

PurposeWell-constructed transportation infrastructure may effectively decrease barriers to the flow of innovative human resources and inventive elements, accelerating enterprise innovation activities. This study will explore how HSR helps enterprises achieve ambidextrous innovation, including the mediating mechanism of absorbed slack resources, innovative talents, and the heterogeneous effects of management shareholding ratio and financing constraints.Design/methodology/approachBased on resource dependence theory and social network theory, this study employs a quasi-natural experiment of China’s high-speed railway and builds a multi-time point DID model to investigate its influence on enterprise ambidextrous innovation.FindingsResults suggest that the HSR positively influences both exploitative and exploratory innovation, and the influence is more substantial on exploitative innovation. Further analysis finds two influencing channels through which HSR influences enterprise ambidextrous innovation: providing redundant resources and attracting innovative talents. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that HSR has a more significant positive effect on exploratory innovation for enterprises with high management shareholding. In the low financing constraint group, the HSR opening has a more significant impact on ambidextrous innovation.Practical implicationsIn ambidextrous innovation, enterprises should rationalize the allocation of resources, attach importance to the innovative talent introduction, and choose differentiated paths based on intrinsic characteristics. Meanwhile, the government should actively improve the HSR routes and continuously improve the innovative environment.Originality/valueThis study enriches the theoretical research framework of HSR and ambidextrous innovation by identifying the channel mechanisms and boundary conditions through which HSR affects ambidextrous innovation and expands the consequences of HSR and the antecedents of ambidextrous.

Published: June 2024

PurposeDespite the growing emphasis on sustainability and the need to manage environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks, the direct relationship between enterprise risk management (ERM) and green growth (GG) has not been investigated. This study seeks to fill this gap by examining the effect of ERM on the GG of oil and gas (O&G) companies in Malaysia.Design/methodology/approachThe study used panel data regression models to analyze panel data from 2012 to 2021. For computing GG, we adapted the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) GG framework. ERM is computed using COSO and WBCSD guidelines for ESG-related risks. Weighted content analysis is used to measure ERM and GGFindingsThe findings derived from the content and descriptive statistics analyses indicate a consistent and ongoing rise in the adoption of ERM practices over time. However, some companies are still in the initial stages of incorporating ERM to address ESG risks. The study’s findings unequivocally establish a substantial and positive relationship between ERM and GG. ERM drives GG by significantly influencing its environmental and resource productivity dimensions. The study further reveals that the impact of ERM on economic opportunities and policy responses, as well as the natural asset base, is statistically significant, albeit with relatively lower coefficient values.Practical implicationsTo enhance the legitimacy of organizations and foster positive stakeholder relationships, regulators, governments, and policymakers should actively promote the adoption of ERM standards that specifically address ESG risks, as outlined by COSO and WBCSD. This strategic alignment with risk management practices will ultimately contribute to improving green growth for organizations.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study examining ERM’s effect on GG. The study adds to the existing literature by focusing on ERM’s role in a company’s GG. It clarifies ERM’s significant effect on diminishing emerging ESG risks and advancing GG
Exploring the motives for using social networks for professional development by Spanish teachers
Authors: Marcelo-Martínez Paula , Yot-Domínguez Carmen , Mosquera Gende Ingrid 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
Social networks (SNs) play a significant role as environments supporting teacher professional development. The purpose of this to analyze the motivation and participation roles that Spanish teachers have when participating in SNs for their professional development in three professional stages: preservice teachers, beginning teachers and experienced teachers.

Design/methodology/approach
The study uses a mixed-method approach, combining two validated surveys, one applied to 217 preservice teachers and other to 68 beginning teachers and 384 experienced teachers, with 15 interviews. A qualitative exploratory sequential strategy has been followed along with an ex post facto quantitative survey-type study of a descriptive and inferential nature.

Findings
Preservice and beginning teachers use SNs to access materials and resources with which to learn, presenting an observer and passive role in their interaction on SNs. Experienced teachers log in to learn about experiences but begin to participate more actively in SNs for searching for specific resources, establishing contacts with other teachers, contributing with their own educational materials and helping other teachers with their doubts or even forming their own communities.

Originality/value
These findings help understand how the evolution in teacher expertise accompanies the level of involvement in their social network interactions. The results allow us to better understand how different levels of teaching experience influence the way Spanish teachers access and participate in SNs, in some cases consuming and in others producing digital content.

Authors: Alsughayer Sulaiman 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
This study aims to explore the role of successfully implemented enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems by investigating changes in management accounting (MA) and the influence of the context of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on the adoption and implementation process in an emerging market economy, namely, Saudi Arabia.

Design/methodology/approach
A case-study approach was used to review and compare the ERP adoption and implementation process in two Saudi SMEs from different industries for the descriptive analysis and assessment of changes in MA following the adoption of the system and influence of context. Secondary data were analyzed, and semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data.

Findings
The results indicate that successful ERP implementations support and unify the core business processes and functions and improve analysis, decision-making, reporting and the overall quality of data. Furthermore, the results show that a management accountant's role is widened and shifted from a mere information provider to a business advisor and analyst, enhancing management accounting techniques. The results confirm that ERP implementation is related to the SMEs' technological, organizational and environmental contexts, which must be fully understood to achieve the desired improvements in the management accounting system.

Originality/value
This study contributes to understanding how ERP systems impact MA and management accountants, particularly in SMEs from developing countries, namely, Saudi Arabia. Specifically, to the best of the author’s knowledge, this study is one of the first to use the technology–organization–environment framework and contingency theory to investigate post-ERP implementation changes in SMEs MA in an emerging market economy.

Authors: Richard Meagan S. 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to identify key school leadership practices that center social justice and are evidenced across multiple school and district contexts.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative, multidistrict research design is used within this study. Sampled across seven US school districts, 24 school leaders were interviewed about their justice-centered school leadership practices within and outside of their school buildings.FindingsParticipants engaged in five key domains of justice-centered practice, which included 13 practice areas and 28 sub-practices. These domains include (1) creating an inclusive and caring environment, (2) promoting equitable opportunity to learn, (3) strengthening staff capacity for justice, (4) positioning families as partners in education and (5) building and extending community capacity and resources.Originality/valueThis study incorporates empirical data across diverse contexts and investigates actions relevant to diverse students and multiple justice-centered leadership approaches. By doing so, this study unearths a spectrum of justice-centered school leadership practices, presenting these in one of the few empirically grounded frameworks available in the literature. This framework provides an accessible, comprehensive and actionable starting place for practitioners hoping to lead in socially just ways and for preparation programs who will support these leaders.

Authors: Partington Jessica , Brook Judy , McKeown Eamonn 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
The aim of this study was to explore empirical literature on the experiences of pre-registration student nurses during mental health clinical placements and identify factors that enhance practice learning.

Design/methodology/approach
An integrative mixed-methods approach and constant comparative synthesis were chosen. Eligible studies were from 2009 onwards sampling student experiences of mental health placements within undergraduate and postgraduate degree entry to practice nursing programmes, excluding academic-only experiences. The search was last conducted on 14th August 2021 and included MEDLINE, CINAHL and APA PsycINFO databases.

Findings
The search strategy identified 579 studies, of which 10 met the eligibility criteria. Seven of the articles reported qualitative research; two were based on quantitative studies, and one had a mixed-methods design. There was international representation across six countries. All studies examined the experiences of pre-registration student nurses during mental health clinical placements. The total number of participants was 447, comprised of students, nongovernmental organisations and community members.

Originality/value
The review identified four influential themes that enhance practice learning: immersion in the nursing role; relationships that empower autonomous learning; opportunity for defined and subtle skill development; and student experiences of people with mental health needs. Further research is required on culture, subtle skill development and the socialisation process of students with the mental health nurse professional identity.

Authors: Fleisch Lukas , von Dzengelevski Oliver 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThis paper studies the interrelations between the concepts of supply chain resilience and international manufacturing strategy. On the basis of an in-depth case study of a company in the semiconductor industry, the paper seeks to integrate the concept of resilience into international manufacturing strategy.Design/methodology/approachIn an explorative qualitative single case study of a semiconductor manufacturer, a systems thinking model is developed from expert interviews and literature research that displays the interrelations of constituent constructs of supply chain resilience and international manufacturing strategy.FindingsForecast accuracy and organizational inertia are identified as barriers to resilience, whereas information technology (IT) capabilities and vertical integration are identified as major levers. Causal relations between constructs are identified, and a concrete suggestion for theory refinement of the manufacturing strategy framework of Miltenburg (2009) is provided.Originality/valuePrior literature on international manufacturing networks (IMNs) has not sufficiently taken into account the importance of resilience in the formulation of international manufacturing strategies. This paper aids in the integration of this increasingly important concept, in a critical industry that has recently been subject to major disruptions.
Moral underpinnings of accounting for nature in the global North
Authors: Morrison Leanne J. , Wilmshurst Trevor , Hay Peter 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
Environmental philosophies have guided cultures throughout history and continue to do so. This paper uses a framework of environmental philosophies drawn from history and the present, to analyse contemporary corporate environmental reporting. The purpose of this paper is to interrogate the philosophical underpinnings of corporate reporting allows for a nuanced understanding of the relationship between corporate activities and nature, and in so doing demonstrates the moral practices of accounting for nature.

Design/methodology/approach
Three themes are extracted from a historical review of western environmental philosophy: dualism, transcendence and interconnectivity. These themes are applied to a sample of corporate environmental reports through discourse analysis, enabling the illustration of otherwise obscured moral characteristics of the corporate relationship with the natural environment.

Findings
This paper uses environmental philosophies to better understand some of the implicit messaging of corporate environmental reporting. Evidence of each of the three themes is found in a sample of environmental reports, predominantly dualism and interconnectivity.

Research limitations/implications
Understanding that accounting is not just a technical, but also a social and moral practice expands the way the authors can interpret the outcomes of accounting. By presenting an exemplar of how accounting practice such as the corporate sustainability report can be analysed through a moral lens, this paper offers new insights intentioned to inform a more meaningful approach to environmental reporting.

Originality/value
A novel framework to explore the corporate sector’s relationship with the natural environment is presented. In light of current and predicted environmental changes, much of which has been attributed to the impact of corporate activities, the importance of a detailed explication of this relationship – such as the one proposed here – becomes imperative.

Inclusive assessment of road traffic accident associated with design-construction disparities and contemplating its relative impact for sustainable road safety
Authors: Dasho Defaru Katise , Churaida Gesese Ganka 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
Road accident is a major threat to sustainable road safety, causing immense suffering and posing an increasingly serious global challenge, especially in developing countries. It is the leading cause of death, injuries and property damage. While vehicle driver-related factors play a significant role in accidents, poorly designed and constructed roads are also a growing factor. As result, this study aims to assess traffic accident problems associated with design-construction complications on Arba Minch-Jinka Road, Ethiopia.

Design/methodology/approach
From 2013 to 2021, a large amount of traffic accident data was gathered, and through actual roadway surveys at potential locations along the road, the data was associated with design-construction parameters. The analysis was done by adopting descriptive statistics incorporating comparative hypotheses, in which the individual and combined effects of design-construction issues were identified. Results revealed, on average, 76% of total coincided accidents along the study road were associated with design-construction issues. Exclusively, causing factors, i.e. roadway, driver, vehicle, pedestrian problems and environmental, contributed 7.65%, 77.78%, 6.17%, 6.05% and 2.35% traffic accidents, respectively.

Findings
Detailed and time-consuming data collection, investigations, analysis and assessments were used in the research to discover a strong association between road design-construction problems and traffic accidents. As a result, 42 black spot sections were identified, and 7.65% is exclusively caused from design-construction problems. Curved road sections led the surge by 42% from selected design-construction variable, whereas the remaining 58% was shared among four parameters. According to relative analysis, design-construction issues caused a 58.17%, 12.14%, 32.36% and 29.93% increase in accidents in combination with driver, vehicle, pedestrian and environmental factors, respectively. This is in an average of 33.15% escalated problem in a combination that raises questions about the sustainability of road safety.

Originality/value
It is essential to use scientific methodologies to evaluate traffic accidents and associated design-build discrepancies in developing nations like Ethiopia if we are to achieve sustainable road safety. The fundamental importance and value of this study is that it promotes accountability to the road design and construction, which are not frequently thought of as influencing factors in traffic accidents. This paper is original, and all references have been correctly mentioned, to the best of the author’s knowledge.
Young adults’ experiences of biographical retrogression whilst living with long COVID

Published: June 2024

AbstractDuring the early years (2020–2021) of the COVID‐19 pandemic, relatively little attention focused on experiences of people with long‐lasting symptoms, particularly young adults who were commonly understood to be invulnerable to serious effects of the virus. Drawing on narrative interviews with 15 adults in their twenties and living in the UK when they became ill with long COVID, we explore contextual factors which made their long COVID illness experience, and the wholescale disruption to their lives, challenging. We propose that existing adaptations of the concept of biographical disruption are problematic for this group, and instead suggest that ‘biographical retrogression’ may more accurately reflect these young adults’ experiences. For many of these young adults, their illness occurred at a crucial stage in forming or solidifying (presumed) adult trajectories. Secondly, the recency of long COVID did not allow for comparison with an existing ‘grand narrative’ of recovery, so the future course of their illness was not just unknown for them as individuals; there was no prognostic map against which to assess their symptoms. Thirdly, the lives of people with long COVID have been disrupted in the context of global societal disruption by the same virus, rendering their experiences both topical yet invisible.
10‐hydroxy decanoic acid, trans‐10‐hydroxy‐2‐decanoic acid, and sebacic acid: Source, metabolism, and potential health functionalities and nutraceutical applications

Published: June 2024

AbstractThe popularity of royal jelly (RJ) as a functional food has attracted attention from various industries, especially nutraceuticals, due to the increasing demand from health enthusiasts. Sebacic acid, 10‐hydroxy decanoic acid, and trans‐10‐hydroxy‐2‐decanoic acid are the primary medium‐chain fatty acids (MCFAs) within RJ responsible for their health benefits. This review aims to consolidate information on these MCFAs’ metabolic relationship and health functionalities in nutraceutical applications. We also investigated the natural characteristics mediated by these MCFAs and their metabolism in organisms. Finally, the production of these MCFAs using conventional (from castor oil) and alternative (from RJ) pathways was also discussed. This review can be a reference for using them as functional ingredients in nutraceutical industries.
