Selection of a business school dean: a multi-criteria knowledge-based approach
Authors: Kheybari Siamak , Ishizaka Alessio , Mehrpour Mohammad Reza , Pereira Vijay 
Published: May 2024

Purpose
Business schools play a significant role in providing individuals with the ability to adapt to constantly changing environments. Such agile organizations require deans who, as leaders, possess the knowledge and attributes of astute and responsible executives. In this regard, the measurement of the attributes of leadership paves the way for evaluating a leader’s options process. In this study, we measure the attributes of leadership to pave the way for evaluating a leader’s decision-making process.

Design/methodology/approach
The rich data included the opinions of 93 university professors from seven countries: Iran, India, China, France, the UK, Canada and the USA. In appraising the responses, the authors considered the nationality and the development level of each participant’s country and continent. In this study, the authors developed an online questionnaire based on the best-worst method (BWM). By performing a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), the authors also determined the significant statistical differences of the scientific communities through the lenses of authentic leadership, leader-member exchange and social identity and leadership.

Findings
The results provide evidence of transparency, measured as the most important criterion for leading a business school, i.e. knowledgeable deanship. Furthermore, the findings reveal a meaningful difference between developed and developing countries in the context of an authentic leadership pillar.

Originality/value
This paper contributed to the literature in five major ways as follows: The authors investigated the attitudes of scientific communities from different countries, business schools, BWM, dean selection and leadership evaluation.By means of the BWM, the authors measured the criteria culminating in the selection of a knowledgeable leader for a business school.The authors compared and contrasted the attitudes of scientific communities in developing countries vis-à-vis those in developed ones.The authors addressed the differences and similarities among countries in relation to the selection of a knowledgeable business school leader.The authors provided beneficial insights by addressing the different perspectives of researchers on the weights of the criteria involved in the selection procedure for a business school dean.
The influence of local government transparency on the implementation of the sustainable development goals in municipalities
Authors: Ríos Ana-María , Guillamón María-Dolores , Benito Bernardino 
Published: May 2024

PurposeNowadays, there is a strong public interest in promoting transparency to be informed about the actions of the public sector. At the same time, there has been a significant change in society’s perceptions and concerns about sustainable development, with a marked increase in attention to this area. In this context, our main objective is to investigate the impact of transparency practices in local government on the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Spanish municipalities.Design/methodology/approachWe will analyse a sample of 84 municipalities, using the Dynamic Transparency Index published by Dyntra to measure transparency. For the level of implementation of the SDGs, we will use an index specifically created using data from the report “The SDGs in 100 Spanish Cities”, published by the Spanish Network for Sustainable Development in 2020.FindingsMunicipalities with a larger dependent population tend to achieve higher SDG levels. Municipalities with lower financial surpluses and more self-generated resources show better SDG implementation. Progressive political parties lean more towards sustainability, and coalition governments show higher SDG implementation than majority governments. Gender appears to play a minor role in SDG implementation, but male leadership is associated with higher levels. Factors such as population density and government transfers do not have a significant impact on SDG implementation levels.Originality/valueThis study seeks to address the lack of empirical research on the potential impact of transparency on the achievement of the SDGs, while also taking into account other socio-economic, financial and political aspects of the municipality. In doing so, it also contributes to the limited empirical literature on the determinants of the level of SDG implementation in local governments.

Authors: Kiambati Fridah Gatwiri , Juma Samuel Wanyonyi , Wawire Brenda Aromu 
Published: May 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to evaluate the accessibility of digital information systems as a key usability attribute in information retrieval by users with visual impairment (VI), to inform development of accessible information systems.

Design/methodology/approach
This study used a cross-sectional survey design based on the quantitative research paradigm. Data was collected from 117 students with visual impairments from selected public universities in Kenya, using a semi-structured questionnaire adapted from Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.

Findings
This study revealed that gender did not influence screen reader compatibility, alternative format preferences, perceptions of accessible content or digital library navigability. Instead, type of visual impairment, prior assistive technology (AT) training and digital library use frequency significantly impacted these attributes. Blind students reported positive experiences, favouring alternative formats, and expressed positive views on accessible content while those with low vision faced more challenges. Prior training in assistive technology and frequent digital library use resulted in higher screen reader compatibility and better navigability. Increased digital library use was linked to access to alternative content for those with prior assistive technology training.

Research limitations/implications
This study contributes to the existing literature on accessibility of digital information systems for users with visual impairments. Further research is needed to explore other factors that may influence the accessibility of digital systems, such as the design of user interfaces as well as an evaluation of accessibility of digital systems for other categories of disabilities such as hearing impairment, physical impairment, autism and intellectual disability, among others.

Practical implications
The findings of this study have practical implications for the design and development of digital systems such as digital libraries. Developers can leverage findings of this study to enhance compatibility of digital platforms with screen readers and provide alternative formats and accessible content. User-centred design principles can be used to create interfaces that are easy to navigate and friendly to users with visual impairments. Training programmes on assistive technology should be provided to users to enhance their skills and confidence in using digital systems.

Originality/value
This study contributes towards design and creation of navigable systems that are compatible with screen readers. The study also points out the importance of creating more inclusive and usable digital environments for persons with visual impairments.

On Neoliberalism and Institutions: A Response to Michael Jacobs
Authors: Hodgson Geoffrey M. 
Published: May 2024

AbstractIn his article in this journal, Michael Jacobs lists the multiple overlapping crises which now affect the world. These include climate change and rising economic inequality. This comment endorses his emphasis on institutions and his call for richer institutional analyses to help develop viable policies to deal with these problems. But, on the other hand, this comment criticises his use of the term ‘neoliberalism’ to identify a major source of our current difficulties. Many ‘neoliberals’ are said to favour market solutions. But the term has become so vague that it is linked to not only economists such as Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek, but also to others who accept some markets in a mixed economy. Opposition to ‘neoliberalism’ then involves a rejection of market reforms in economies such as China and of mixed economies more generally. The word now means so many different things that it has becomes unusable.
The shadow economy, natural resource income, and the effect of economic globalization on carbon emissions: Toward a sustainable future
Authors: Li Xueyao , Lau Wei Theng , Law Siong Hook , Li Linwei 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe shadow economy, natural resources, and economic globalization are interconnected factors that shape global carbon emissions. Developing effective strategies to mitigate climate change and achieve sustainable development requires understanding the interplay between these factors. This study examines the impact of the shadow economy, natural resource income, and economic globalization on CO2 emissions in APEC countries from 1990 to 2022. The empirical evidence suggests that a 1% increase in the shadow economy leads to a corresponding increase of 0.0861% in CO2 emissions. Economic growth, shadow economy, and economic globalization are positively associated with CO2 emissions in APEC countries. However, electricity supply from renewable sources and income from natural resources are negatively associated with CO2 emissions. Several policy implications need to be considered to address the shadow economy and its potential impact on CO2 emissions in APEC countries. Strengthening the enforcement of environmental laws and regulations is crucial in preventing the shadow economy's negative environmental impact. This includes targeting illegal activities such as logging, poaching, and dumping, which contribute to carbon emissions. Encouraging the transition to clean and sustainable energy sources can help mitigate the shadow economy's contribution to CO2 emissions.
Cardiac substructure delineation in radiation therapy – A state‐of‐the‐art review

Published: May 2024

SummaryDelineation of cardiac substructures is crucial for a better understanding of radiation‐related cardiotoxicities and to facilitate accurate and precise cardiac dose calculation for developing and applying risk models. This review examines recent advancements in cardiac substructure delineation in the radiation therapy (RT) context, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of the current level of knowledge, challenges and future directions in this evolving field. Imaging used for RT planning presents challenges in reliably visualising cardiac anatomy. Although cardiac atlases and contouring guidelines aid in standardisation and reduction of variability, significant uncertainties remain in defining cardiac anatomy. Coupled with the inherent complexity of the heart, this necessitates auto‐contouring for consistent large‐scale data analysis and improved efficiency in prospective applications. Auto‐contouring models, developed primarily for breast and lung cancer RT, have demonstrated performance comparable to manual contouring, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of cardiac delineation practices. Nevertheless, several key concerns require further investigation. There is an unmet need for expanding cardiac auto‐contouring models to encompass a broader range of cancer sites. A shift in focus is needed from ensuring accuracy to enhancing the robustness and accessibility of auto‐contouring models. Addressing these challenges is paramount for the integration of cardiac substructure delineation and associated risk models into routine clinical practice, thereby improving the safety of RT for future cancer patients.

AbstractThe aging heart is characterized by a number of structural changes leading to ventricular stiffness, impaired resistance to stress and increased risk of developing heart failure (HF). Genetic or pharmacological removal of senescent cells has recently demonstrated the possibility to relieve some cardiac aging features such as hypertrophy and fibrosis. However, the contribution of the different cell types in cardiac aging remains fragmentary due to a lack of cell‐specific markers. Cardiomyocytes undergo post‐mitotic senescence in response to telomere damage, characterized by persistent DNA damage response and expression of the classical senescence markers p21 and p16, which are shared by many other cell types. In the present study, we used transcriptomic approaches to discover new markers specific for cardiomyocyte senescence. We identified Prominin2 (Prom2), encoding a transmembrane glycoprotein, as the most upregulated gene in cardiomyocytes of aged mice compared to young mice. We showed that Prom2 was upregulated by a p53‐dependent pathway in stress‐induced premature senescence. Prom2 expression correlated with cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in the hearts of aged mice and was increased in atrial samples of patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction. Consistently, Prom2 overexpression was sufficient to drive senescence, hypertrophy and resistance to cytotoxic stress while Prom2 shRNA silencing inhibited these features in doxorubicin‐treated cardiac cells. In conclusion, we identified Prom2 as a new player of cardiac aging, linking cardiomyocyte hypertrophy to senescence. These results could provide a better understanding and targeting of cell‐type specific senescence in age‐associated cardiac diseases.
Centralized climate clubs and decentralized governance: A model of global CO2 mitigation
Authors: Nath Shyam , Madhoo Yeti Nisha 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis paper extends the climate literature by examining the feasibility of integrating sub‐national governance into global club governance for mitigating CO2 emissions. Global climate clubs become an argument for having separate bundles of emission targets and incentive mechanisms in the form of opportunities for climate finance and technology sharing among the club members. An exploratory analysis is important to examine the role of import and export taxes and other channels, such as the clean development mechanism, in meeting the objective of nonmember countries to join the club. The crux, however, is how, after determining national‐level quotas, the mitigation responsibilities are shared with subnational entities. We propose a design of a carbon entry tax at the subnational level, namely states, districts, and municipalities. The carbon entry tax uses the nighttime luminosity data published by NASA as a measure of carbon, which constitutes the tax base. The carbon entry tax serves as a fiscal instrument of decarbonization in a decentralized framework.
Metformin use in pregnancy: What about long‐term effects in offspring?
Authors: Toft Johanne Holm , Økland Inger 
Published: May 2024

AbstractMetformin use in pregnancy is increasing worldwide. Unlike insulin, metformin crosses the placenta. Consequently, maternal and fetal concentrations are comparable. Teratogenic effects are not reported, nor are adverse pregnancy outcomes. Reduced risk of hypertensive disorders, hypoglycemia, and macrosomia are potential benefits, together with lower gestational weight gain. Although metformin has been prescribed for pregnant women during the last 40 years, long‐term data regarding offspring outcomes are still lacking. Independent of maternal glycemic control, recent meta‐analyses report lower birthweight but accelerated postnatal growth and higher body mass index in metformin‐exposed children. The longest follow‐up study of placebo‐controlled metformin exposure in utero found an increased prevalence of central adiposity and obesity among children 5–10 years old. Recently, a Danish study reported a threefold increased risk of genital anomalies in boys, whose fathers used metformin around the time of conception. This commentary addresses the current controversies on metformin use in pregnancy.

AbstractThe present study aimed to examine the efficacy of an intervention, based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) and social support, in promoting strength training (ST) among older adults. A two‐arm clustered randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted among 235 older adults from eight elderly centers in Hong Kong. The intervention group engaged in a 6‐month intervention comprising ST sessions, exercise consultations, social gatherings, and a buddy program, while the control group participated in social gatherings. Assessments were conducted at baseline (Month 0), post‐intervention (Month 6), and 3‐month follow‐up (Month 9), with primary outcome being the prevalence of meeting the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommendations of ST. Results showed that the intervention group reported significantly higher prevalence of meeting ACSM recommendations for ST at both post‐intervention and follow‐up. Linear mixed models showed significant interaction effect between condition and time on perceived susceptibility of sarcopenia and muscle strength and significant condition effect on self‐efficacy for ST, perceived severity of sarcopenia, perceived barriers of ST, and intention to perform ST. Findings suggest that the intervention, guided by HBM and social support, improves older adults' ST participation, muscle strength, perceptions on sarcopenia, and self‐efficacy for ST, which offers great potential for broader application in other settings.
Authentic leaders, energized employees? Indirect beneficial and adverse effects of authentic leadership on intrinsic motivation and exhaustion
Authors: Maunz Lucas A. , Thal Sascha , Glaser Jürgen 
Published: May 2024

AbstractCurrent research is unclear regarding the associations between authentic leadership (AL), intrinsic motivation, and exhaustion. Following self‐determination theory (SDT), we hypothesize that AL indirectly increases intrinsic motivation and decreases exhaustion by increasing basic psychological need satisfaction (BPNS). We propose that these processes occur through increased AL in leader‐employee interactions and a higher average display of AL. To test these hypotheses, we conducted three studies using a mixed‐methods approach. Results of Study 1 (cross‐sectional survey; N = 597) supported the indirect effects of AL on employees' intrinsic motivation and exhaustion via BPNS. Study 2 (experience sampling; two samples, replication, Ns = 63; 128 observations = 231; 460) supported the indirect effects of AL experiences in daily leader‐employee interactions. Study 3 (semi‐structured interviews; N = 38) provided additional support for the proposed effects. However, Study 3 also showed potential adverse effects of AL. Some employees perceived a fully open leader as irritating, exhausting, and damaging to the job climate, particularly, when leaders violated role expectations and engaged in hostile behaviors. As these adverse effects were rare, we conclude that the beneficial effects of increased and higher average AL on employees' BPNS, motivation, and exhaustion outweigh the adverse effects.
Ethical challenges in health care during collective hunger strikes in public or occupied spaces
Authors: Haselwarter Dominik , Kuehlmeyer Katja , Wild Verina 
Published: May 2024

AbstractPublic collective hunger strikes take place in complex social and political contexts, require medical attention and present ethical challenges to physicians. Empirical research, the ethical debate to date and existing guidelines by the World Medical Association focus almost exclusively on hunger strikes in detention. However, the public space differs substantially with regard to the conditions for the provision of health care and the diverse groups of healthcare providers or stakeholders involved. By reviewing empirical research on the experience of health professionals with public collective hunger strikes, we identified the following ethical challenges: (1) establishment of a trustful physician–striker relationship, (2) balancing of medico‐ethical principles in medical decision‐making, (3) handling of loyalty conflicts and (4) preservation of professional independence and the risk of political instrumentalization. Some of these challenges have already been described and discussed, yet not contextualized for public collective strikes, while others are novel. The presence of voluntary physicians may offer opportunities for a trustful relationship and, hence, for ethical treatment decisions. According to our findings, it requires more attention to how to realise autonomous medical decisions in the complex context of a dynamic, often unstructured and politically charged setting, which ethical norms should shape the professional role of voluntary physicians, and what is the influence of the hunger strikers' collective on individual healthcare decisions. Our article can serve as a starting point for further ethical discussion. It can also provide the basis for the development of potential guidelines to support health professionals involved in public collective hunger strikes.
