Development of functional jackets for reducing workload and boosting muscle strength
Authors: Park Sunhee , Lee Yejin 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis study evaluated the effect of functional jackets designed to reduce the workload on the upper extremities and boost the muscle strength of workers from prolonged repetitive work.Design/methodology/approachThe functional jacket designs for the upper limb incorporated a dynamic taping line with an elastic band, three-dimensional support for the abdomen and posterior waist (S2) and an X-shaped line on the scapular region combined with abdominal and posterior waist support (S3). Clothing pressure was adjusted ergonomically for different areas. A standard jacket served as the control (S1). The designs were evaluated based on work posture, electromyography and subjective sensation.FindingsS2 and S3 effectively reduced the workload on the upper extremities by decreasing the trapezius muscle, shoulders and waist movement. S3 showed a low muscle-activation level on electromyogram analysis and was excellent in subjective sensation.Originality/valueA functional jacket with optimal compression applied differentially to the upper extremities, with three-dimensional abdominal and posterior waist support and an X-shaped line on the scapula region, can reduce the workload on the upper extremities and boost the core muscle strength to improve work performance.

Networks with a social purpose: how social enterprises manage paradoxical tensions
Authors: Meqdadi Osama , Pagell Mark 
Published: February 2025

Purpose This study explores how companies’ operations and supply networks can induce social impacts such as enhancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). The study focuses on social enterprises’ supply networks and examines the effects of supply network characteristics on the creation and resolution of social–commercial objectives tension.Design/methodology/approach A supply network that is divided into five embedded cases, where each case is the supply network of a social enterprise, was studied. Forty-eight interviews at social enterprises, corporate customers, distributors, suppliers, non-governmental organizations and charities were conducted.Findings The study highlights how social enterprises use their supply networks to help disadvantaged people gain employment, truly balance DEI and efficiency objectives and manage paradoxical tensions. The results reveal three types of social purpose supply networks, dichotomized, paired and blended, that hybrid and for-profit organizations can adopt to jointly pursue multiple, potentially competing, objectives and resolve the paradoxical tensions in their supply networks. The creation and resolution of tension are also clarified by considering dyadic, triadic and tetradic tie structures.Originality/value The study contributes to the literature by extending the analysis of paradoxical tension between commercial and social welfare objectives such as DEI to the supply network level and revealing three social purpose supply network structures that depict social enterprises’ different ways to resolve paradoxical tensions. The study contributes to social network theory by describing the dynamic interaction between strong and weak ties in multi-tie structures.

Authors: Le Thanh Tiep , Nguyen Ngoc Bich , Tran Ho Phuong Khanh , Luong Hoang My , Phan Kim Ngan , Le Thi Cam Ly 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
This research aims to investigate the relationships between organizational learning (OL), corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporate financial performance (CFP) and sustainable corporate performance (SCP) within the context of food-manufacturing family enterprises in Vietnam. Specifically, the study strengthens the combination of these three factors that collectively contribute to enhancing SCP. Furthermore, the research explores the role of service quality (SQ) and green brand innovativeness (GBI) as strategic levers for achieving a competitive edge in SCP within family enterprises.

Design/methodology/approach
This study was used the quantitative method to evaluate the influence of CSR, OL, CFP, SQ and GBI on the SCP of family enterprises. The study sample comprised 456 responses from top and middle management of organizations and used the smart partial least squares SEM (version 3.3.2) to analyze the data in the year 2024.

Findings
The study provides significant positive relationships between OL, CSR and CFP in contributing to enhancing SCP within family enterprises. Results suggest that firms with strong OL, CSR and CFP collectively could improve SCP. Furthermore, SQ and GBI emerged as integral factors in differentiating family enterprises in terms of SCP. While SQ plays a significant role in building customer loyalty and trust, GBI is crucial for positioning family enterprises as a sustainable one in the market. Thus, this study contributes to the existing academic knowledge by providing insights into how family enterprises can effectively balance economic, social and environmental objectives for long-term sustainability.

Originality/value
While previous studies have explored these factors independently, this study offers a novel perspective by examining their performances correlatively. The outcomes of this study provide valuable guidance for family enterprises’ managers, CEOs and business leaders to make strategic sustainability plans and create competitive edge when it comes to SCP.
Carer harm: a challenge for practitioners, services and research
Authors: Donnelly Sarah , Isham Louise , Mackay Kathryn , Milne Alisoun , Montgomery Lorna , Sherwood-Johnson Fiona , Wydall Sarah 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to consider how carer harm is understood, surfaced and responded to in contemporary policy, practice and research.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper offers a reflective commentary on the current “state of play” relating to carer harm drawing on existing research and related literature. This study focuses on how we define carer harm and what we know about its impact; lessons from, and for, practice and service provision; and (some) considerations for policy development and future research.

Findings
The authors highlight the importance of engaging with the gendered dimensions (and inequalities) that lie at the intersection of experience of care and violence and the need to move beyond binary conceptions of power (lessness) in family and intimate relationships over the life course. They suggest that changing how we think and talk about carer harm may support practitioners to better recognise the impact of direct and indirect forms of carer harm on carers without stigmatising or blaming people with care needs. The findings of this study also consider how carer harm is “hidden in plain sight” on two accounts. The issue falls through the gaps between, broadly, domestic abuse and adult and child safeguarding services; similarly, the nature and impact of harm is often kept private by carers who are fearful of the moral and practical consequences of sharing their experiences.

Originality/value
This study sets out recommendations to this effect and invites an ongoing conversation about how change for carers and families can be realised.
Made-to-measure: defining the consumption values of 3D body scanning technology and its impact on consumer experience
Authors: Kim Min Jung , Chang Hyo Jung (Julie) 
Published: February 2025

Purpose3D body scanning technology, when applied using smartphone applications, enhances interactions between consumers and companies using this technology by offering accurate measurements, personalized recommendations, virtual fitting and social interactions. Despite the worldwide 3D scanning technology market continuing to grow through these advantages, many consumers remain unaware of or do not use this technology. Thus, this study aims to examine how consumers perceive the consumption values of smartphone-based 3D body scanning technology and analyze their impact on usage intention.Design/methodology/approachNettelo, a smartphone-based 3D body scanning application, was selected as the experimental platform. An online survey of US females aged 18 and above yielded 390 valid responses for the final analysis.FindingsThe findings reveal that users perceive the functional value as high, thereby influencing usage intention through trust and satisfaction. Social and epistemic values directly impact usage intention, while emotional and conditional values significantly affect trust and satisfaction.Originality/valueThe paper demonstrates the application of the theory of consumption values to smartphone-based 3D body scanning technology in the decision-making process and suggests ways for fashion companies to bridge the gap with consumers and innovatively enhance their experiences.
Flooding lagoons, melting mountains: exploring diffractive analysis for a communicative engagement with extra/linguistic materializations
Authors: Nadegger Monica , Porzionato Monica 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis article proposes diffractive vignettes as a new analytical approach that can sensitize organizational communication research to extra/linguistic forces in the communicative constitution of major societal challenges such as the climate crisis. The critical feminist concept of diffraction examines how diverse forces interact, interfere and produce new patterns of meaning and difference through entangled, performative relations.Design/methodology/approachDiffraction as an analytical tool is illustrated based on fieldwork on organizing the climate crisis in the tourist destinations in the Tyrolean Alps and Venice. We analytically attune to how extra/linguistic forces move and resonate with us, how we read them through each other in a diffractive experiment and how they allow us to attend to materialization differently through crafting diffractive vignettes.FindingsWe account for how the analytical work required us to experiment with juxtaposing, weaving, dividing and melting data and theories together through non-representational, post-qualitative ways of analyzing. Through a diffractive vignette, we then unfold how the extra/linguistic forces became agentic for the constitution of the climate crisis.Originality/valueThrough diffractive vignettes, we extend a fast-developing body of work on materialization within organizational communication to analytically exploit communication’s performativity, including its extra/linguistic forces in a post-qualitative, non-representational sense. With diffraction, we expand the analytical potential of organizational communication scholarship with a sensitivity to difference in materialization.
Assessing the ethical, social and psychological risks of active and passive exoskeletons in the construction industry: trust, productivity and stress levels
Authors: Ofori Joshua Nsiah Addo , Tomori Mariam , Ogunseiju Omobolanle 
Published: February 2025

Purpose Exoskeletons have the potential to alleviate musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), increase productivity and ultimately reduce construction project costs, but the concerns about their ethical, social and psychological risks for the construction industry are unknown. This paper investigates these risks and their implications for exoskeleton acceptance.Design/methodology/approach Participants performed masonry tasks without an exoskeleton and with an active and passive exoskeleton. Using descriptive and inferential statistics, ethical, social and psychological risks associated with exoskeletons, as well as their trust levels, were assessed. Objective data were procured to determine stress and productivity levels with and without these exoskeletons, while subjective data included trust and the ethical and social risks of the exoskeletons.Findings The findings show that lack of informed consent and procuring sensitive health data is an important ethical consideration when using active and passive exoskeletons. Regarding social risks, unequal access to exoskeletons, exoskeleton sharing and exoskeleton costs as major concerns. Furthermore, the findings revealed statistical differences between active and passive exoskeletons in terms of certain social risks. The findings show that participants believed in passive exoskeletons more than active exoskeletons. The results also revealed a strong positive relationship between ethical and social risks, and trust levels. The results also indicated that both exoskeletons induce relatively moderate stress levels and enhance productivity, compared to the no exoskeleton condition.Originality/value This study is one of the few empirical investigations in the construction industry on the ethical and social risks associated with exoskeletons, which can facilitate the adoption of exoskeletons for mitigating MSDs in the construction industry.
Gaining legitimation during environmental crises: an inquiry into the relationship between corporate social responsibility, reputation, and blame attribution
Authors: Vigolo Vania , Mion Giorgio , Moura e Sá Patrícia 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
Responsible management of water resources is critical owing to its effects on the environment and society. This study aims to address customer perceptions of a water utility during a severe environmental crisis that affected northern Italy and aims to deepen the understanding of the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR), perceived crisis response and corporate reputation.

Design/methodology/approach
This study draws on legitimacy theory and attribution theory, adopting a quantitative design. In detail, a moderated mediation model is used to investigate the direct effect of CSR on reputation, the mediating effect of perceived crisis response on the relationship between CSR and reputation and the moderating effect of blame attribution on the relationship between CSR and perceived crisis response. In addition, the evolution of the crisis event and its management is traced through the analysis of the water utilities’ sustainability reports published since the beginning of the crisis.

Findings
The findings show that CSR affects corporate reputation directly and via perceived crisis response. In addition, CSR improves perceived crisis response, especially when an organization is held responsible for a crisis. The analysis of the CSR report allows for understanding the evolution of CSR policies of water utilities, shifting attention from a merely informative role of sustainability disclosure to a more comprehensive approach to perfluoroalkyl substances risks in the struggle of contributing to sustainable development. Theoretical and managerial implications are also discussed.

Practical implications
The findings suggest some managerial implications about the usefulness of adopting CSR for crisis management and, furthermore, the importance of communicating CSR policies to all stakeholders overall – the customers of public utilities.

Originality/value
This paper focuses on the relationship between CSR, reputation and blame attribution. Literature on this topic is still scarce overall in the field of public utilities. Furthermore, this study is relevant because it faces one of the major European environmental crises that affected the water sector and provides helpful insights for all public utility sectors and, more generally, for environmental crisis management.

Published: February 2025

AbstractThe recent availability of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has revolutionized the treatment of advanced malignant melanoma (MM). However, many patients with MM do not benefit from ICI treatment. As immunotherapy is associated with significant toxicity and high treatment costs despite its excellent efficacy, it is pertinent to select patients who are likely to respond to ICIs. In this single‐center, retrospective study we investigated whether the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score is a useful prognostic marker in Japanese patients with advanced‐stage cancer. We analyzed 123 patients with stage IV MM treated with ICIs as first‐line systemic treatment at our hospital between February 2012 and July 2024. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to calculate the CONUT cut‐off value and CONUT into two groups of ≥3 and ≤2. Progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were determined using the Kaplan–Meier method, and differences in survival were assessed using the log‐rank test. The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to evaluate independent prognostic factors. Objective response rate (ORR), PFS, and OS were significantly low in the CONUT ≥3 group, characterized by low nutritional status and high inflammation. Multivariate analysis identified the CONUT score as an independent prognostic factor for both PFS and OS. The CONUT score was not significantly associated with the development of serious immune‐related adverse events. The simplicity of the CONUT score may aid in identifying patients with MM who are suitable candidates for ICI treatment.
Correlation of BP180, BP230, and type VII collagen antibody titers in serum, blister fluid, erosion, and saliva in pemphigoid diseases

Published: February 2025

AbstractAutoantibodies, including anti‐BP180 and anti‐BP230 antibodies in bullous pemphigoid (BP) and mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP), and anti‐type VII collagen (COL7) antibodies in epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA), are well characterized. Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for the detection of these antibodies in the serum are valuable for diagnosis. Previous studies have indicated that anti‐BP180 and anti‐BP230 antibodies in blister fluid and saliva can be detected using ELISA. The aim of this study was to detect anti‐BP180, anti‐BP230, and anti‐COL7 antibodies in several types of samples, including blister fluid, an erosive surface swab, and saliva, by ELISAs and to compare the titers of these antibodies between different types of samples. Thirty‐three patients with BP/MMP, two patients with EBA, and 13 patients with non‐pemphigoid diseases were included in this study. Samples were collected from each patient and analyzed using commercial ELISA kits. In the cases of BP/MMP, the mean ± standard deviation indices of BP180 ELISA were 411.9 ± 538.3, 253.5 ± 333.3, 2.360 ± 1.714, and 1.599 ± 1.262, and those of BP230 ELISA were 27.73 ± 37.65, 20.52 ± 30.04, 0.486 ± 0.7915, and 0.346 ± 0.4373, from sera, blister fluids, erosive surface swabs, and saliva, respectively. The indices of BP180 and BP230 ELISAs using serum were significantly correlated with those of BP180 and BP230 ELISAs using blister fluid (r = 0.9342 and r = 0.9882), an erosive surface swab (r = 0.7586 and r = 0.9332), and saliva (r = 0.5731 and r = 0.6147), respectively. This study revealed that autoantibodies were detectable in blister fluids, erosive surfaces, and saliva, and their correlation with serum titers in pemphigoid diseases was highest in blister fluid. In summary, blister fluid can be a minimally invasive sample alternative to serum for the detection of pemphigoid‐related antibodies.
