Characterizing Public Sentiments and Drug Interactions during COVID-19: A Pretrained Language Model and Network Analysis of Social Media Discourse
Authors: Li Wanxin , Hua Yining , Zhou Peilin , Zhou Li , Xu Xin , Yang Jie 
Published: June 2024

AbstractObjectiveHarnessing drug-related data posted on social media in real time can offer insights into how the pandemic impacts drug use and monitor misinformation. This study developed a natural language processing (NLP) pipeline tailored for the analysis of social media discourse on COVID-19 related drugs.MethodsThis study constructed a full pipeline for COVID-19 related drug tweet analysis, utilizing pre-trained language model-based NLP techniques as the backbone. This pipeline is architecturally composed of four core modules: named entity recognition (NER) and normalization to identify medical entities from relevant tweets and standardize them to uniform medication names, target sentiment analysis (TSA) to reveal sentiment polarities associated with the entities, topic modeling to understand underlying themes discussed by the population, and drug network analysis to potential adverse drug reactions (ADR) and drug-drug interactions (DDI). The pipeline was deployed to analyze tweets related to COVID-19 and drug therapies between February 1, 2020, and April 30, 2022.ResultsFrom a dataset comprising 2,124,757 relevant tweets sourced from 1,800,372 unique users, our NER model identified the top five most-discussed drugs: Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, Remdesivir, Zinc, and Vitamin D. Sentiment and topic analysis revealed that public perception was predominantly shaped by celebrity endorsements, media hotspots, and governmental directives rather than empirical evidence of drug efficacy. Co-occurrence matrices and complex network analysis further identified emerging patterns of DDI and ADR that could be critical for public health surveillance like better safeguarding public safety in medicines use.ConclusionThis study evidences that an NLP-based pipeline can be a robust tool for large-scale public health monitoring and can offer valuable supplementary data for traditional epidemiological studies concerning DDI and ADR. The framework presented here aspires to serve as a cornerstone for future social media-based public health analytics.
Spin–spin interaction and magnetic Feshbach resonances in collisions of high-spin atoms with closed-shell atoms
Authors: Frye Matthew D. , Żuchowski Piotr S. , Tomza Michał 
Published: June 2024

We investigate interactions and ultracold collisions of high-spin but spherical atoms with closed-shell atoms, focusing on the example of Cr with Yb. Such a combination has only one potential energy curve but gives rise to a substantial intra-atomic spin–spin interaction, which causes Feshbach resonances due to rotationally excited states. We find such resonances are guaranteed below 250 G and can reach widths of tens of G in favorable circumstances. We study the effect of hyperfine structure, which can create additional wide resonances at low fields. Finally, we consider isotopic substitution and show that for any realistic potential it is very likely that at least one combination of commonly used isotopes will have resonances with experimentally favorable properties. Thus, this is a promising system for both molecule formation and studying quantum mixtures including dipolar species.

Unlearnable Games and “Satisficing” Decisions: A Simple Model for a Complex World
Authors: Garnier-Brun Jérôme , Benzaquen Michael , Bouchaud Jean-Philippe 
Published: June 2024

As a schematic model of the complexity economic agents are confronted with, we introduce the “Sherrington-Kirkpatrick game,” a discrete time binary choice model inspired from mean-field spin glasses. We show that, even in a completely static environment, agents are unable to learn collectively optimal strategies. This is either because the learning process gets trapped in a suboptimal fixed point or because learning never converges and leads to a never-ending evolution of agent intentions. Contrarily to the hope that learning might save the standard “rational expectation” framework in economics, we argue that complex situations are generically and agents must do with solutions, as argued long ago by Simon []. Only a centralized, omniscient agent endowed with enormous computing power could qualify to determine the optimal strategy of all agents. Using a mix of analytical arguments and numerical simulations, we find that (i) long memory of past rewards is beneficial to learning, whereas overreaction to recent past is detrimental and leads to cycles or chaos; (ii) increased competition (nonreciprocity) destabilizes fixed points and leads first to chaos and, in the high competition limit, to quasicycles; (iii) some amount of randomness in the learning process, perhaps paradoxically, allows the system to reach better collective decisions; (iv) nonstationary, “aging” behavior spontaneously emerges in a large swath of parameter space of our complex but static world. On the positive side, we find that the learning process allows cooperative systems to coordinate around satisficing solutions with rather high (but markedly suboptimal) average reward. However, hypersensitivity to the game parameters makes it impossible to predict who will be better or worse off in our stylized economy. The statistical description of the space of satisficing solutions is an open problem.

Conflict resolution: how to LEVEL
Authors: Marques Joan F. 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
To assist managers in applying a set of intuitively appealing actions that can be helpful in conflict resolution.

Design/methodology/approach
Utilizing a mindful strategy of listening, empathizing, visualizing, considering effects, and liaising with involved parties toward resolving conflicts in a mutually considerate way.

Findings
Leveling with colleagues, especially when in a supervisory position, will demonstrate respect for individual perspectives, and the will to reflect on both sides of a situation before coming to a decision.

Practical implications
Applying LEVEL may take more time than jumping to quick conclusions, but it will enhance employees’ reverence for their leader, as they find that decisions are well-considered, and respectfully communicated.

Originality/value
An intuitively sound way of leading mindfully and respectfully in increasingly complex work environments.
Organisational vulnerability: exploring the pathways
Authors: Chipangura Paul , van Niekerk Dewald , Mangara Fortune , Zembe Annegrace 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThis study aimed to address the underexplored domain of organisational vulnerability, with a specific focus on understanding how vulnerability is understood in organisations and the underlying pathways leading to vulnerability.Design/methodology/approachThis study utilised a narrative literature review methodology, using Google Scholar as the primary source, to analyse the concepts of organisational vulnerability in the context of disaster risk studies. The review focused on relevant documents published between the years 2000 and 2022.FindingsThe analysis highlights the multifaceted nature of organisational vulnerability, which arises from both inherent weaknesses within the organisation and external risks that expose it to potential hazards. The inherent weaknesses are rooted in internal vulnerability pathways such as organisational culture, managerial ignorance, human resources, and communication weaknesses that compromise the organisation’s resilience. The external dimension of vulnerability is found in cascading vulnerability pathways, e.g. critical infrastructure, supply chains, and customer relationships.Originality/valueAs the frequency and severity of disasters continue to increase, organisations of all sizes face heightened vulnerability to unforeseen disruptions and potential destruction. Acknowledging and comprehending organisational vulnerability is a crucial initial step towards enhancing risk management effectiveness, fostering resilience, and promoting sustainable success in an interconnected global environment and an evolving disaster landscape.
Relationship between firefighter protective clothing design ease and heat stress
Authors: Boisvert Reannan , McQuerry Meredith , Schofield Sheryl 
Published: June 2024

PurposeClothing fit, including garment ease and drape, impacts the volume of air between clothing layers and the body, directly affecting the amount of heat that can be transferred through a multi-layer clothing system. As most acute firefighting fatalities are caused by overexertion and heat strain, the purpose of this research was to determine the impact of ease allowances on air gaps in structural firefighting turnout suits and their subsequent effect on total heat loss (THL) when worn on a three-dimensional form.Design/methodology/approachFour turnout suits with chest ease allowances of 6″, 8″, 10″ and 12″ were evaluated using an ANDI dynamic sweating thermal manikin. The average predicted manikin THL of each ensemble was calculated from the thermal and evaporative resistance measurements. A three-dimensional (3D) body scanner was utilized to calculate the distance and volume of clothing air gaps between the base layer and each turnout suit.FindingsResults demonstrate that reductions in upper body ease measurements trend towards statistically significant increases in THL, to a point, with fit limitations being reached before benefits can be significantly realized. An increase in standard chest ease measurements significantly decreased heat loss, even when forced convection from movement was considered.Originality/valueThis is the first article of its kind to explore the relationship between garment ease and predicted manikin THL, especially for fire service protective clothing. Findings indicate a valid recommendation for turnout gear designers and manufacturers to optimize clothing fit to improve breathability and potentially reduce incidents of heat strain in the fire service.
Roles and responsibilities of stakeholders involved in local-level flood risk management: a study in the Deduru Oya basin in Sri Lanka
Authors: Wanninayake Sisira Bandara , Nianthi Rekha , Dayarathne Banda O.G. 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
Disasters are occurring worldwide, and Sri Lanka has also become a victim of multiple disasters. Though there is a disaster management mechanism from the national level to the local level in Sri Lanka, several gaps are identified in pre- and postdisaster management activities. Among them, the responsibilities of local-level stakeholders in flood management activities are not performing at a satisfactory level. Therefore, the flood damage from the previous events was too great. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to assess the roles, responsibilities and performance of stakeholders involved in local-level flood risk management activities.

Design/methodology/approach
The Deduru Oya basin in Sri Lanka was selected as the study area. The study hypothesized that “ineffective roles, responsibilities and performance of local level stakeholders have weakened the flood risk management in the Deduru Oya basin.” The stratified random sampling method selected the sample (n = 425) from the flood-vulnerable population. Primary data were collected through a questionnaire survey, key informant interviews and field observations. Secondary data were collected from reports, work plans, journal papers and published maps. Descriptive data analysis methods and thematic data analysis methods were used in the study.

Findings
About 69% of the respondents state that they are not satisfied with the involvement of government agencies in local-level flood risk management activities, while 10% of the respondents state that they are satisfied. The thematic analysis reveals several gaps, such as the lack of reservations in the Deduru Oya, improper land use practices, no inundation areas are identified and mapped out and the effects of illegal sand mining in the Deduru Oya. In addition to that, the lack of legal power vested in local governments in disaster management and the weaknesses of current legislation on flood risk management are the other major courses of local-level ineffectiveness.

Research limitations/implications
The current research was limited to studying the involvement of local-level stakeholders in flood risk management, but the involvement of subnational and national-level stakeholders should be studied in future research.

Originality/value
This paper examines the involvement of local-level stakeholders in flood risk management. The results of the study confirm that the roles and responsibilities of local-level stakeholders are not well-defined and mandated, and therefore, the performance of stakeholders involved is minimal. Therefore, the results highlight the need for a well-established community-based flood risk management mechanism.
Centrality of sensory attributes in brand extension evaluations
Authors: Sekar Samuel Babu , Varki Sajeev , Elsantil Yasmeen 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
Compared to typical brand extension research focusing on functional and symbolic attributes, this paper aims to examine brand extensions based on a brand's primary sensory attributes. Specifically, this paper investigates the interplay between brand equity and primary sensory attributes in shaping consumers' evaluations of brand extensions.

Design/methodology/approach
This study investigates the impact of primary or central sensory attributes on brand extension evaluations for brands with differing brand equities. The authors conducted two experiments preceded by seven pretests to develop and validate the stimulus materials. The authors aim to contribute to understanding how sensory and brand-related factors influence consumers' evaluations of brand extensions.

Findings
In these experiments, the authors find that a parent brand's central/dominant sensory attribute allows the parent brand to successfully extend into functionally unrelated categories. For example, Dove’s central attribute of touch allows it to extend successfully into categories such as towels and shaving razor. However, it does not perform as well as Irish Spring (known for smell) in categories such as cologne and scented fabric softener, where Irish Spring's central attribute of smell is more relevant. Interestingly, Irish Spring, a lower equity brand, outperforms Dove in smell-related extensions, indicating that sensory attributes can counter the impact of lower brand equity if the sensory attribute is relevant to the extension category.

Originality/value
This study investigates brand extensions based on sensory attributes such as smell and touch instead of typical brand extensions based on functional and symbolic attributes. In particular, the authors examine whether the perceived fit between the parent brand’s dominant sensory attribute and the extended category (i.e. sensory fit) is more important than the parent brand's equity in the evaluation of brand extensions.

Authors: Ren Lei , Yin Yishuai , Zhang Xiaobin , Zhu Di 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between coaching leadership and employees' taking charge while incorporating the mediating role of work meaningfulness and the moderating role of challenge-hindrance stressor.Design/methodology/approachA total of 355 pairs of effective samples were collected through a two-stage supervisor-subordinate paired survey. Four hypotheses were tested using hierarchal regression analysis and bootstrapping method.FindingsThe findings show that coaching leadership is positively related to taking charge, and work meaningfulness positively mediates the coaching leadership-taking charge relationship; high challenge stressors and high hindrance stressors weaken the positive effect of coaching leadership on work meaningfulness respectively; challenge stressors and hindrance stressors further moderate the indirect relationship of coaching leadership and taking charge through work meaningfulness.Originality/valueThis study provides a new perspective for organizations to activate employees' taking charge, thereby enriching the antecedents of taking charge. By incorporating challenge-hindrance stressor framework, this study also provides answers to when coaching leadership will be less effective.
Transformational leadership and work engagement in remote work settings: the moderating role of the supervisor’s digital communication skills
Authors: Boccoli Gabriele , Gastaldi Luca , Corso Mariano 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThis study explores the impact of transformational leadership on work engagement within remote work settings. More specifically, we investigate whether supervisor’s perceived digital communication skills moderate the relationship between perceived supervisor support and work engagement.Design/methodology/approachModerated mediation model has been tested using a sample of 410 consultants in Italy who worked within a fully remote work setting during Covid-19 pandemic.FindingsDrawing on construal level theory and social presence theory, our study provides insights into the dynamics of leadership and work engagement in remote work settings. We demonstrate that, despite the challenges posed by physical distance, transformational leaders can effectively stimulate the work engagement of remote collaborators. Moreover, our findings suggest that the perceived digital communication skills of supervisors play a crucial role in moderating the relationship between perceived supervisor support and work engagement. This underscores the importance of supervisors' adept use of digital tools in conveying psychological presence and fostering employee engagement in remote work environments.Practical implicationsOur study highlights the importance of developing supervisors' digital communication skills to support and stimulate employee engagement in remote work settings.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature by providing one of the first empirical tests of the relationship between transformational leadership, perceived supervisor support, supervisor’s digital communication skills and work engagement within a remote work setting. By challenging prior assumptions and offering novel insights, our research enhances understanding of leadership dynamics and provides practical guidance for organizations navigating the challenges of remote work.
A quantitative analysis of cosmeceuticals: business service quality and client satisfaction
Authors: Bond Mariah C. 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThe purpose of the quantitative correlational research study was to determine the relationship, if any, between the predictor variable, cosmeceutical business service quality, and the outcome variable, cosmeceutical client satisfaction, in the southeast region of the United States of America. Cosmeceuticals were cosmetics and medications administered by estheticians.Design/methodology/approachLiterature on business service quality and client satisfaction theories was synthesized after extensive review. Quantitative research data were collected and statistically analyzed on the following subscales of consumer satisfaction: general satisfaction, technical quality, interpersonal manner, communication, financial aspects, time spent with professionals and accessibility/convenience. The hypotheses addressed the research question (RQ) of whether cosmeceutical business service quality affects client satisfaction. The Cosmeceutical Client Satisfaction Questionnaire 18 (CCSQ-18), a web-based research instrument, had strong reliability with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.84. The target population (N = 50) included randomly selected female cosmeceutical consumers in the southeast region of the United States of America. The researcher did not digress from the detailed research protocol, instrumentation, data collection or data analyses. Through the Likelihood Ratio (LR) chi-squared statistic (18) = 65.35 and its associated probability, Prob > chi-squared = 0.000, the researcher determined the predictor variable cohesively has a statistically significant effect on the outcome variable.FindingsResearch results concluded that a significant relationship exists between cosmeceutical business service quality and cosmeceutical client satisfaction in the southeast region of the United States of America.Originality/valueThe findings detailed in the results complimented the argument that, generally, business service quality is important to consider, because good business is based on client satisfaction.
What is the role of national media environments in shaping the impact of CSR on a firm’s performance?
Authors: Hong Gahye , Cho Hyo Eun , Kim Juhee , Shin Jiyoung 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
This study aims to contribute to the existing literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR) by examining the influence of national media environments on the economic consequences of CSR. Drawing on signaling theory, this study distinguishes between two country-level media environments − digital media accessibility and media freedom − of which the prior research has often implied their value in cultivating the stakeholders’ awareness about the firms’ socially responsible behavior, suggesting that they amplify the benefits of CSR actions.

Design/methodology/approach
This study conducts multilevel analysis with a sample of 44,222 firm-year observations representing 6,726 companies from 57 countries over the period 2003–2019.

Findings
This study finds supportive evidence that CSR is more positively related to financial gains in countries with greater digital media accessibility. This study concludes that digital media accessibility affects a firm’s reputation and legitimacy benefits derived from CSR actions, resulting in better financial performance (FP).

Originality/value
The findings of this paper contribute to the existing literature on the CSR–FP relationship by demonstrating the relevance of considering the media environment to better explain the link between CSR and FP. In doing so, this study enriches our understanding of the importance of the media at macro-level institutions by examining how and why these media environments cultivate a culture of CSR as a strategic tool for firms.

Secondary research

Case overview/synopsis
Victoria’s Secret, a lingerie retailer founded by Roy Raymond in 1977, is the largest retailer in women’s intimate apparel in North America. Nevertheless, the business has been under fire in the recent past for failing to be inclusive and diverse, declining revenues and engaging in high-profile controversies. Victoria's Secret has experienced competition from emerging lingerie brands including Savage X Fenty, which Rihanna established in 2018, ThirdLove and Aerie by American Eagle & Knix. Victoria's Secret tried to reinvent itself in reaction to these difficulties by altering its marketing approach, switching out its “angels” for more diversified models, and launching a new range of cozy, informal loungewear. However, there were conflicting reactions to these initiatives, and the company's sales have been declining.
