Creative self-efficacy – a double-edged sword: the moderating role of mindfulness between deliberate practice, creative self-efficacy, and innovation performance
Authors: Zhang Hanzhi , Ayub Arslan , Iqbal Shahid 
Published: October 2023

PurposeDeliberate practice, an iterative process, has garnered increasing attention of researchers and practitioners in entrepreneurship and business domains in the recent years. However, research studies are on rise that found its positive correlates with superior performance. Nevertheless, whether the relationship always holds positive is an intriguing question that wedged the authors’ attention to probe the causal mechanism that might scrutinize the association otherwise. The purpose of the study is to build on the social cognitive theory and the attribution theory to project that deliberate practice deteriorates innovation performance due to augmented creative self-efficacy (CSE). While, individuals who draw on their mindfulness can overcome the harmful effects of increased CSE on innovation performance, subsequently translating deliberate practice into enhanced innovation performance through CSE.Design/methodology/approachThe authors gather data from 312 entrepreneurs in the small and medium enterprises using a time-lagged research design and analyze the results using SmartPLS (v 4.0).FindingsThe findings reveal that deliberate practice significantly affects CSE of entrepreneurs. Besides, deliberate practice negatively influences innovation performance through CSE. In addition, the study finds that mindfulness significantly moderates the relationships between CSE and innovation performance and deliberate practice and innovation performance through CSE.Originality/valueThis is the first study that examines a moderated mediated model of CSE as a deteriorating agent and mindfulness as a coping mechanism between deliberate practice and innovation performance of entrepreneurs. The study highlights several essential theoretical and practical implications.
Long-term earnings growth forecasts: investor sentiment or valuation difficulty?
Authors: Formiga Miranda Kléber , Machado Márcio André Veras 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThis article analyzes the hypothesis that analysts issue higher long-term earnings growth (LTG) forecasts following a market-wide investor sentiment.Design/methodology/approachThis study analyzed 193 publicly traded Brazilian firms listed on B3 (Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão), totaling 2,291 observations. To address the potential selection bias resulting from analysts' preference for more liquid firms, this study used the Heckman model in the analysis with samples with only one analyst and the entire sample. The study also applied other robustness tests to ensure the reliability of the findings.FindingsThe results suggest that market-wide investor sentiment influences LTG when the firm's stocks are difficult to value. Market optimism did not reflect five-year profit growth after the forecast issue, suggesting lower forecast accuracy during high investor sentiment values.Practical implicationsVolatile-earnings firms have relevant implications in LTG forecasts during bullish moments. According to the study’s evidence, investors' decisions and policymakers' and regulators' rules should consider analysts' expertise as independent information when considering LTG as input for valuation models, even under market optimism.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the literature on the influence of investor sentiment on analysts' forecasts by incorporating two crucial elements in the discussion: the scenario free from herding behavior, as usually only one analyst issues LGT forecast for Brazilian firms, and the analysis of research hypotheses incorporates the difficulty of pricing a firm given the uncertainty of its earnings as an explanation to bullish forecast.

Authors: Zada Muhammad , Khan Jawad , Saeed Imran , Zada Shagufta 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThis study investigates the link between servant leadership and project management effectiveness in developmental projects in non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Further, this study examined the mediating role of conflict resolution and moderating role of organisational culture.Design/methodology/approachA three-wave survey of 288 non-governmental organisation (NGO) employees was used to evaluate the hypotheses. Hierarchical regression analysis and Hayes' PROCESS macro technique were used for data analysis.FindingsIn this study, servant leadership positively affects employee project management effectiveness in developmental projects in NGOs, and conflict resolution mediates the relationship. Furthermore, the results show that organisational culture moderates the positive relationship between servant leadership and employee project management effectiveness. Moreover, the authors investigated the hypotheses via a moderation mediation model. The strength of the mediated link between servant leadership and project management effectiveness (via conflict resolution) depends on organisational culture strength.Practical implicationsLeaders that practice servant leadership care for their employees genuinely and serve them by allowing them to make their own decisions. Every organisation may benefit from this leadership style since it encourages project effectivenessOriginality/valueNew empirical data from this study suggests that servant leadership positively and substantially affects employee project management effectiveness in developmental projects in NGOs.

Published: October 2023

PurposeThe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic generated a worldwide financial crisis by impacting several links of the supply chain, however companies can take advantage by quantitatively measuring the disruptive impacts.Design/methodology/approachThis study sought to develop the failure mode and effect analysis and supply chain resilience (FMEA-SCR), a hybrid tool developed using a potential failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) applied to supply chain resilience (SCR) and taking into account the capability factors and business processes.FindingsIn order to validate, the proposed model was applied into two different organizational study cases: an university and a cooperative managing urban solid wastes with recyclable potential (MSWRP). Through the procedures described here any organization can understand and assess in a simplified way the impacts over their supply chain generated by such a crisis.Originality/valueThis study synthesizes three different procedures into a single method called FMEA-SCR, allowing organizations to understand and assess in a simplified way, the impacts over their supply chain generated by COVID-19. To this end, it brought together the studies developed by Rajesh and Ravi (2015) and Curkovic et al. (2015), on possible causes of disruptions in SC, the capability factors of Pettit et al. (2010) used by organizations to mitigate the effects of disruptions, besides Lambert's and Croxton (2005) business processes, thus weaving a method that allows organizations to visualize, analyze and classify the pandemic impacts over their supply chain.
Using YouTube for corporate communication: a comparison between Chinese and American companies
Authors: Yuan Sheng 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to compare the communication practices of Chinese and US companies on YouTube and explores the effectiveness of different communication strategies at the topic level.Design/methodology/approachThe author selected 22 Chinese companies and 22 US firms and compared the content of their English language corporate YouTube channels through content analysis, sentiment analysis and cluster analysis.FindingsThe results revealed that the three communication strategies (information, response and involvement) in general were not significantly different regarding their engagement rates, but they generated different comment scores when communicating topics of corporate social responsibility. The results also showed that Chinese companies were more likely than American firms to display the speeches of corporate leaders, use collectivistic references and present human interest messages in YouTube videos.Research limitations/implicationsThis study sheds light on how national institutional environment shapes corporate communication on YouTube.Practical implicationsThis study challenges the infatuation with the involvement strategy and offers some advice for practitioners on topic selection and user comment function management.Originality/valueThis study makes a novel contribution to the literature of corporate communication on YouTube by adopting a cross-national comparative approach. A conceptual framework of major factors influencing stakeholder responses on YouTube was presented.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-02-2023-0061
Detection and picking of shear wave arrival for stiffness evaluation of highly porous chalk
Authors: Proestakis Ermis , Christensen Helle F. , Meireles Leonardo T. P. , Storebø Einar M. , Shamsolhodaei Amirhossein , Orlander Tobias 
Published: October 2023

AbstractElastic wave velocities of compressional and shear waves propagating through sedimentary rocks are often coupled with information of bulk density to derive the rock stiffness. Acquiring the transit time of compressional and shear waves often involves manual picking of wave arrival times from wave trains recorded in the laboratory or by well‐logging tools. Picking the compressional wave arrival time is commonly accepted as straightforward. Oppositely, detecting the shear wave arrival and picking its arrival time is often troublesome because the transmitted shear wave partly converts to compressional waves and back to a secondary shear wave, concealing the transmitted shear wave arrival in the wave train. In laboratory settings, we illustrate the difficulty of shear wave detection in wave trains recorded on highly porous chalk plug samples from the Danish North Sea Basin. Wave trains were recorded on plugs dry, Tap‐water or Isopar‐L saturated during uniaxial strain compaction. The recorded shear wave trains showed two distinct features, which could be interpreted as the transmitted shear wave first arrival; we denoted them as early and late arrivals. However, as only one feature can mark the arrival of the transmitted shear wave, we propose a semi‐empirical disclosure strategy combining a graphical representation of stacked wave trains with rock physical modelling. By stacking recorded wave trains in a graphical strain–time–amplitude domain, we demonstrate that an early shear wave feature marks a converted shear to compressional to shear wave and not the transmitted shear wave. We used physical modelling to identify early shear wave features and illustrate the consequences of adopting a falsely interpreted shear wave on stiffness properties.

Issue framing, political identities, and public support for multilateral vaccine cooperation during Covid‐19
Authors: AVDAGIC SABINA , SEDELMEIER ULRICH 
Published: October 2023

AbstractResearch shows that information cues influence public opinion on international cooperation, yet it is unclear whether all cues are equally effective in the context of a global crisis. This paper sheds light on this issue by analysing how frames in public discourse influence support for multilateral vaccine cooperation during Covid‐19. Building on research on in‐group favouritism, decision‐making under uncertainty, and public support for multilateralism, the paper argues that frames emphasizing vaccine nationalism are more potent than those emphasizing international cooperation and that nationalist political identities moderate these framing effects. An original survey experiment in the United Kingdom confirms this argument and shows that public support for multilateralism is substantial but vulnerable. A vaccine nationalism frame reduces support for multilateralism, while an international cooperation frame has no effect. Moreover, ‘Brexit identities’ moderate this framing effect, with ‘Leavers’ being more susceptible to the detrimental effect of the vaccine nationalism frame than ‘Remainers’.
Reflecting on the boundaries of the demos: A virtual deliberative experiment with German citizens
Authors: MAIER FRANZISKA , BÄCHTIGER ANDRÉ 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis article combines the fields of deliberative theory and citizenship studies. Drawing from a deliberative experiment on foreigner political rights with almost 300 German citizens, we find that a short virtual deliberative treatment produced a clarification effect, whereby especially those with already negative views increased their scepticism. Participants in our deliberative treatment displayed higher levels of argument repertoire and integrative complexity, underlining that the treatment led to well‐considered opinions. A qualitative analysis of participants’ substantive rationales unravels traces of what De Schutter and Ypi dub ‘mandatory citizenship’, implying that political rights must be attached to obligations. These results have wide ranging implications: They indicate that the practice of deliberation is not quasi‐automatically programmed to progressive outcomes (as some have argued) but can have a communitarian dimension (where preferences are determined on the basis of existing communal values and self‐understandings); this suggests that participatory practices may not always advance progressive reforms.

Published: October 2023

AbstractEvidence describing age‐related differences among children with suspected physical and sexual child abuse is lacking. We describe findings in severe cases of suspected abuse. Cases with 756 children <15 years old were included during 2001–2013 at the Department of Forensic Medicine, Aarhus University, using forensic evaluation documents, medical records, and court proceedings. Eight percent of children <4 years old died from child abuse, 36% through violence resulting in death, and 64% by manslaughter, whereas 1% > 4 years old died, solely by manslaughter. External injuries were mainly located to head and torso in children <4 years old, changing to the upper and lower extremities in older children. Child sexual abuse was suspected in 52% of cases with living children <4 years old, 83% of children 4–7 years of age, 88% of children 8–11 years of age, and 93% of children >12 years old. Anogenital findings were mainly caused by other medical conditions in children <4 years old, hymenal clefts in the superior half of the hymenal rim were almost exclusively found in children between 8 and 11 years of age, whereas both superficial and complete hymenal clefts in the inferior half of the hymenal rim were found in children >12 years old. The present study describes age‐related differences in victims of suspected child abuse. Fatal versus nonfatal child physical abuse and the significance of hymenal findings in child sexual abuse could be studied further.
Evaluation of the Empower model of care for partial denture clients in a public oral health care setting
Authors: Ingram K , Shankumar R , Marwaha P , Mariño R 
Published: October 2023

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of the Empower model of care (EMC) on reducing the addition of teeth to removable partial dentures (RPD).MethodsData reports were generated through the Titanium electronic database to retrieve all clients at Monash Dental Services (MHDS) who participated in the EMC or received an RPD prior to the implementation of EMC was assessed over a two‐year period to determine if they had additional teeth added to their partial dentures (PD). A logistic regression was performed testing whether a combination of socio‐demographic and clinical variables, provided a multivariate explanation of the EMC outcome.ResultsPrior to EMC, 2034 patients attended MHDS requiring RPDs with 363 returning to have teeth added. From 2018 to 2020, 38 of 584 participants in EMC returned to have teeth added to their PDs. Those in the ‘High’ risk group were two times more likely to return requiring additional teeth (OR = 1.99; 95%CI:1.31–3.02); each additional year of age increased the odds of requiring additional teeth (OR = 1.03; 95%CI:1.02–1.04). Participants of the EMC were more than two times less likely to require additional teeth (OR = 0.42; 95%CI:0.29–0.59). The variance in requiring additional teeth accounted for using the full model was 9.1% (η2 = 0.091).ConclusionsThis analysis confirms the effectiveness of the EMC. This approach assists denture wearers to maintain good oral health and provides an effective way of managing public health funds by reducing denture repairs and additions. © 2023 Australian Dental Association.
Endodontic management of an aberrant germinated composite odontome: A case report
Authors: Arora Ankit , Desai Kavina , Kapoor Sonali , Gajera Seema 
Published: October 2023

AbstractTo describe the endodontic treatment of a germinated composite odontome with atypical internal anatomy. A 35‐year‐old male presented with pain in the left mandibular second molar region. Intraoral examination and Cone‐Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) revealed a rare case of a germinated composite odontome with a 3‐2‐1 Vertucci configuration in the mesial root. Occlusal morphology and mesial root configuration required modifications in methods of isolation and access cavity preparation. Contemporary tools like magnification, ultrasonics and controlled memory rotary files were essential for executing the treatment plan. The tooth was functional at 18 months follow up and radiographs revealed no abnormality.
Dementia care for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds: Qualitative secondary analysis of the Aged Care Australian Royal Commission data

Published: October 2023

AbstractObjectiveUnderstanding the concerns and experiences of people living with dementia from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds is critical to ensure culturally appropriate care is delivered. This study aimed to describe the current experiences and concerns of older people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds using the publicly available evidence from the Australian Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.MethodsThis was a qualitative secondary analysis of the Australian Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety data to explore new and nuanced insights about care for culturally and linguistically diverse people living with dementia. Using the keywords to search the data corpus, we extracted a topic‐specific data set focused on dementia care and cultural diversity. Thematic analysis was used to identify and describe the present practices and challenges.ResultsOur findings showed that the need for cultural connection for older people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds increases as dementia progresses. Access to culture‐specific food and music facilitated connection with their culture of origin. Many older people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds with dementia reverted to their language of origin; however, the inability to communicate due to a lack of language support impacted their health and well‐being, and care provision.ConclusionsFurther work is needed to provide the necessary cultural experiences and language support to ensure comfort and equity in the provision of dementia care for Australians from migrant backgrounds.
An experimental study on reading in high‐immersion virtual reality
Authors: Kaplan‐Rakowski Regina , Gruber Alice 
Published: October 2023

AbstractHigh‐immersion virtual reality (VR) is an increasingly valued environment for language learners. Although reading constitutes a core language skill, practicing reading in VR has received little attention. In this between‐subject, quantitative study, 79 intermediate learners of English at a German university were randomly assigned to view an interactive, multimedia‐rich story under two conditions. In the experimental condition, subjects (the VR group) experienced the story using a high‐immersion VR headset. In the comparison condition, subjects (the video group) watched a video recording (ie, screencast) of the same VR experience. In both conditions, the story was presented using identical captions in English, which served as the reading comprehension text. In addition to measuring the impact of VR on reading comprehension, validated questionnaires yielded data on the subjects' intrinsic motivation, sense of presence and cognitive load. The analysis produced several findings. First, t‐tests revealed the VR group was associated with statistically significantly higher reading comprehension scores compared with the video group (p = 0.03). Second, Wilcoxon signed‐rank tests showed that the VR treatment elicited statistically significantly higher levels of motivation (p ≤ 0.0001) and sense of presence (p ≤ 0.0001). Cognitive load was not significantly different between the groups (p = 0.22). Our main implication is that VR can be beneficial for reading practice.

Boys, girls, and everyone else: Ontario public school board responses to gender diversity
Authors: Greey Ali Durham 
Published: October 2023

AbstractTrans and nonbinary youth issue a challenge to K‐12 schools, which regularly assume gender is binary and immutable. Although scholars have explored how educational institutions are responding to trans and nonbinary students, fewer have examined the assumptions implicit within these responses. By analyzing policy solutions as diagnostics of institutions’ implicit representations of social problems, I examine how educational institutions construct the terms of membership for trans and nonbinary students. This article examines all publicly‐available Ontario public school board documents (N = 359) including the terms “gender identity” and/or “gender expression.” The findings show patterns in school board approaches. Roughly 80% of responses focus on a case‐by‐case, individual‐level response. The remaining 20% adopt a systemic approach to trans and nonbinary inclusion. Few responses challenge binary‐sorting practices. This article addresses the broader social issue of how public organizations deal with difference and the limits of individual accommodation responses to systemic inequity.
