Potential effects of customer-brand identification and self-representation on Aliexpress advocacy: a comparative study
Authors: Hussain Safdar , Shoukat Muhammad Haroon , Elgammal Islam , Khan Mukaram Ali , Selem Kareem M. 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
Drawing on social identity theory (SIT), the current research highlights the sequential mediation effects of customer interaction, functional value and hedonic value in linking customer-brand identification and self-representation with online brand advocacy (OBA).

Design/methodology/approach
Data were gathered from 483 Egyptian and 595 non-Egyptian Aliexpress shopping platform customers, then analyzed using SmartPLS 4.

Findings
The multigroup analysis findings revealed that customer interaction and functional/hedonic values sequentially mediated the linkages of customer-brand identification and self-presentation with OBA for Egyptian and non-Egyptian user groups.

Originality/value
The novelty of this study is that it tested and validated customer interaction with the Aliexpress service scale, allowing for reflection on the interactive nature of this platform between Egyptian and non-Egyptian customers. SIT also lends credence to the idea that self-presentation mediates the effect of customer-brand identification on Aliexpress’s OBA, potentially shedding new light on this understudied dimension using a theoretical framework.

Published: January 2024

PurposeAdvancements in responsive manufacturing have been supporting companies over the last few decades. However, manufacturers now operate in a context of continuous uncertainty. This research paper explores a mechanism where companies can “elastically” provision and deprovision their production capacity, to enable them in coping with repeated disruptions. Such a mechanism is facilitated by the imitability and substitutability of production resources.Design/methodology/approachAn inductive study was conducted using Gioia methodology for this theory generation research. Respondents from 20 UK manufacturing companies across multiple industrial sectors reflected on their experience during COVID-19. Resource-based view and resource dependence theory were employed to analyse the manufacturers' use of internal and external production resources.FindingsThe study identifies elastic responses at four operational levels: production-line, factory, company and supply chain. Elastic responses that imposed variable-costs were particularly well-suited for coping with unforeseen disruptions. Further, the imitability and substitutability of manufacturers helped others produce alternate goods during the crisis.Originality/valueWhile uniqueness of production capability helps manufacturers sustain competitive advantage against competitors during stable operations, imitability and substitutability are beneficial during a crisis. Successful manufacturing companies need to combine these two approaches to respond effectively to repeated disruptions in a context of ongoing uncertainties. The theoretical contribution is in characterising responsive manufacturing in terms of resource heterogeneity and resource homogeneity, with elastic resourcing as the underlying mechanism.
Investors in the Bangladeshi stock market: issues, behavioural biases and circumvention strategies
Authors: Chowdhury Nazreen Tabassum , Mahdzan Nurul Shahnaz , Rahman Mahfuzur 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
This study aims to explore the underlying issues of behavioural biases in relation to stock market participation and the challenges of individual investors in Bangladesh. The study identifies behavioural biases affecting individuals’ stock market participation, their circumvention strategies and the importance of financial knowledge in encouraging the participation of individuals in the stock market.

Design/methodology/approach
Semi-structured interviews were used in this study to gather information from industry researchers, individual investors, brokers and institutional advisors. Twenty-two experts were contacted, and 13 agreed to participate in the interviews. The study then uses the thematic analysis method to report its findings.

Findings
This research shows that investors’ behavioural biases (such as loss aversion, herding, trust, gambler’s fallacy and risk tolerance) are among Bangladesh’s primary drivers of stock market participation. Circumvention strategies (such as poor corporate governance and agency costs) also play a part in individuals’ participation. These influences are in addition to the obvious factors of investment risks, poor infrastructure, poor regulation enforcement and the need for more sufficient investment products.

Research limitations/implications
This study conducted 13 interviews with expert subjects, which is a small sample size. However, the findings achieved saturation and cannot be ignored. Future research should use quantitative or experimental methods with a large sample size to validate the current findings.

Originality/value
This study is pioneering in the Bangladesh stock market, exploring the behavioural biases of investors’ participation in the market. This paper provides valuable insights into investor participation by discovering the underlying behavioural biases that have been continually ignored; these insights may also be relevant in frontier markets in Asian countries.
Investigating alternative avenues for financial behaviour change: moving beyond the traditional approach
Authors: Lučić Andrea , Uzelac Marija 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
This study aims to explore possible behavioural change venues, beyond the traditional approach to financial education, using the capability-opportunity-motivation behaviour theoretical framework of behavioural change.

Design/methodology/approach
The study included 45, semi-structured, in-depth interviews of young adults to explore which elements of financial behaviour formation should interventions target to be effective.

Findings
To strengthen capability, the study recommends behavioural education and training for boosting financial knowledge and skills, enablement of financial independence and modelling for empowering self-control and reducing impulsiveness. To boost motivation, gamification of modelling is advised for boosting responsible financial behaviour as part of the identity and inducing consideration of future consequences. Persuasion is advised for inducing positive emotions while incentivization and coercion are advised for empowering self-conscious intentions. To rise opportunity, the study proposes incentivization and coercion imposed by parents, and governmental efforts regarding restriction, enablement and environmental restructuring.

Practical implications
The study brings recommendations for developing efficient interventions for strengthening responsible financial behaviour that may help design type-specific education programmes to promote responsible financial behaviour.

Originality/value
The present study attempts to explore new venues in intervention design that break away from the traditional approach of financial education focused on knowledge and skills that is proven to be ineffective
The impact of the forestland‐tenure disputes on the new type of forestry operating entity's long‐term investment: The intermediary effects on credit constraints

Published: January 2024

AbstractIn the context of the state's proposal to accelerate the development of new type of forestry operating entities in rural area, we provide an analysis of how forestland‐tenure disputes affect the long‐term investment behavior through credit constraints based on the perspective of forestland‐tenure disputes. Based on the survey data of 485 new type of forestry operating entities in nine provinces across China, the empirical analysis is conducted using the Tobit model and mediating effect model, while paying attention to the heterogeneity of management scale and different entity types on the impact of new type of forestry operating entity's long‐term investment behavior. The conclusions are as follows: both forestland‐tenure disputes and dispute areas have a significant negative impact on the new type of forestry operating entity's long‐term investment. In addition, forestland‐tenure disputes not only have a direct negative impact on the long‐term investment but also have an indirect negative impact on the long‐term investment by constraining the new type of forestry operating entity's bank loan and expanding the loan gap. It is suggested to improve the forestland trading market, regulate the order of trading, and implement the policy of forest tenure mortgage to provide stable policy guarantee and external conditions for fully activating the vitality of forestland management.

AbstractIntroductionThis study aimed to determine the health literacy level and related factors of older adults receiving hemodialysis treatment.MethodsA cross‐sectional study was conducted at the five dialysis centers, using the information form and Turkish Health Literacy Survey‐32 (THLS‐32). A total of 336 older adults receiving hemodialysis treatment participated.ResultsThe general health literacy score was found to be 25.69 ± 14.47. Based on the health literacy assessment scores, 62.5% of the participants were in the category of inadequate and limited level of health literacy. The lower level of education, perceived health status, income, and getting help in reading and writing were statistically significant predictors of the health literacy score.ConclusionThe health literacy of older adults receiving hemodialysis treatment was inadequate and limited. Findings of this study emphasize the importance of integrating health literacy assessment in clinical care settings and supporting the health literacy of older adults receiving hemodialysis treatment.
Anchor bias, autonomy, and 20th‐century bioethicists' blindness to racism
Authors: Baker Robert 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe central thesis of this article is that by anchoring bioethics' core conceptual armamentarium in a four‐principled theory emphasizing autonomy and treating justice as a principle of allocation, theorists inadvertently biased 20th‐century bioethical scholarship against addressing such subjects as ableism, anti‐Black racism, classism, and other forms of discrimination, placing them outside of the scope of bioethics research and scholarship. It is also claimed that these scope limitations can be traced to the displacement of the nascent concept of respect for persons—a concept designed to address classist and racist discrimination—with the morally solipsistic concept of autonomy.

SummaryIdiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a rare haematological disorder characterized by generalized lymphadenopathy with atypical histopathological features and systemic inflammation caused by a cytokine storm involving interleukin‐6 (IL‐6). Three clinical subtypes are recognized: thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, renal dysfunction, organomegaly (iMCD‐TAFRO); idiopathic plasmacytic lymphadenopathy (iMCD‐IPL), involving thrombocytosis and hypergammaglobulinaemia; and iMCD‐not otherwise specified (iMCD‐NOS), which includes patients who do not meet criteria for the other subtypes. Disease pathogenesis is poorly understood, with potential involvement of infectious, clonal and/or autoimmune mechanisms. To better characterize iMCD clinicopathology and gain mechanistic insights into iMCD, we analysed complete blood counts, other clinical laboratory values and blood smear morphology among 63 iMCD patients grouped by clinical subtype. Patients with iMCD‐TAFRO had large platelets, clinical severity associated with lower platelet counts and transfusion‐resistant thrombocytopenia, similar to what is observed with immune‐mediated destruction of platelets in immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Conversely, elevated platelet counts in iMCD‐IPL were associated with elevated IL‐6 and declined following anti‐IL‐6 therapy. Our data suggest that autoimmune mechanisms contribute to the thrombocytopenia in at least a portion of iMCD‐TAFRO patients whereas IL‐6 drives thrombocytosis in iMCD‐IPL, and these mechanisms likely contribute to disease pathogenesis.
Lianas shift towards larger sizes and more acquisitive trait values in an Asian tropical rainforest
Authors: Liu Qi , Sterck Frank J. , Zhang Jiao‐Lin , Poorter Lourens 
Published: January 2024

AbstractGlobal change is impacting forests worldwide, leading to shifts in forest dynamics and functional composition. We evaluated the changes in the liana community and trait composition over a five‐year period (2014–2019) in a Chinese tropical rainforest and assessed the underlying putative mechanisms. We monitored >20,000 lianas in a 20‐ha plot, and analyzed community changes for each of the 20 1‐ha plots. To identify the putative drivers underlying community change, we used community‐weighted mean (CWM) trait values of 18 functional traits that are important for liana performance. During the 5‐year period, liana density decreased by 12.6% because of the high mortality of small lianas, whereas liana basal area increased by 5.8% because of the high growth of large lianas. After 5 years, liana communities showed a shift in trait values indicating that they changed towards more large, acquisitive lianas with rapid water use. The temporal shift from slow to fast community trait spectra in carbon, nutrient, and water use was also supported by shifts in the individual CWM traits, from conservative tough leaves towards more acquisitive and water‐spending leaves with higher K concentration, leaf thickness, and vessel diameter. Overall, we found no support for a role of disturbances or drought as drivers of the observed changes in the studied liana community. Instead, our study implies that CO2 fertilization should be considered to better understand dynamics in liana communities in tropical forests.Abstract in Chinese is available with online material.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the effects of simultaneous cortisol cosecretion (CCS) on body composition in computed tomography (CT)‐imaging and metabolic parameters in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) with the objective of facilitating early detection.DesignRetrospective cohort study.PatientsForty‐seven patients with PA and CCS confirmed by 1‐mg dexamethasone suppression test (DST) with a cutoff of ≥1.8 µg/dL were compared with PA patients with excluded CCS (non‐CCS, n = 47) matched by age and sex.MethodsSegmentation of the fat compartments and muscle area at the third lumbar region was performed on non‐contrast‐enhanced CT images with dedicated segmentation software. Additionally, liver, spleen, pancreas and muscle attenuation were compared between the two groups.ResultsMean cortisol after DST was 1.2 µg/dL (33.1 nmol/L) in the non‐CCS group and 3.2 µg/dL (88.3 nmol/L) in the CCS group with mild autonomous cortisol excess (MACE). No difference in total, visceral and subcutaneous fat volumes was observed between the CCS and non‐CCS group (p = .7, .6 and .8, respectively). However, a multivariable regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between total serum cholesterol and results of serum cortisol after 1‐mg DST (p = .026). Classification of the patients based on visible lesion on CT and PA‐lateralization via adrenal venous sampling also did not show any significant differences in body composition.ConclusionMACE in PA patients does not translate into body composition changes on CT‐imaging. Therefore, early detection of concurrent CCS in PA is currently only attainable through biochemical tests. Further investigation of the long‐term clinical adverse effects of MACE in PA is necessary.
The management of Chronic Hand Eczema: A retrospective patient record review
Authors: Borg Emma , Munro Duncan , Thoning Henrik 
Published: January 2024

AbstractBackgroundChronic Hand Eczema (CHE) is a heterogeneous fluctuating inflammatory disease that represents a significant burden. Effective treatment options for moderate to severe CHE are limited.ObjectivesTo assess how patients with moderate to severe CHE are treated in clinical practice.MethodsA retrospective, physician‐led patient record review assessed the demographic, clinical and treatment characteristics of patients aged ≥18 years with CHE across seven countries. Each participating physician was requested to review records for their three most recent patients with moderate to severe CHE treated with a topical or systemic therapy.ResultsA total of 264 physicians, of whom 88.6% were dermatologists and 70.1% were predominantly or partly hospital‐based, reviewed the records of 792 patients. Signs were present on hands only in 56.4% of patients and the mean time on current treatment was 16.7 months. Overall, 62.9% of patients received systemic therapy and almost one‐quarter (23.4%) were treated with a biologic; 28.6% of patients were only treated with topical corticosteroids and/or topical calcineurin inhibitors.ConclusionIn patients with moderate to severe CHE, most received systemic therapy with one‐quarter on biologic therapy. However, given that many of these treatments have limited evidence of efficacy in CHE, there is a need for studies specifically in patients with CHE as well as new therapeutic options.
Dewey on Familiarity in Education, Aesthetics, and Art*
Authors: Fiore Andrea 
Published: January 2024

AbstractIn this paper, Andrea Fiore sketches the notion of familiarity in Dewey's thought, particularly in its relations with education, aesthetics, and art. The importance of that notion emerges in Dewey's well‐known writings such as How We Think, The School and Society, and Art as Experience, where he shows that not only does familiarity play a fundamental role in our lives, but it also constitutes a helpful tool to make our experience deeper and richer. This is particularly evident in two aspects or functions related to familiarity: recognition and interpretation. For Dewey, especially the latter has an educational value through aesthetics and art, because it allows us to activate the peculiar capacity of human beings to transform the quality of experience.

AbstractBackground and purposeInhibition of the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) for IgG is a promising new therapeutic strategy for antibody‐mediated disorders. We report our real‐life experience with efgartigimod (EFG) in 19 patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) along a clinical follow‐up of 14 months.MethodsEFG was administered according to the GENERATIVE protocol (consisting of a Fixed period of two treatment cycles [given 1 month apart] of four infusions at weekly intervals, followed by a Flexible period of re‐cycling in case of worsening). Eight patients were positive for acetylcholine receptor antibody, four for muscle‐specific tyrosine kinase antibody, and two for lipoprotein‐related protein 4 antibody, and five were classified as triple negative. Efficacy of EFG was assessed by the Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living, Myasthenia Gravis Composite, and Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis scales.ResultsFifty‐three percent of patients needed three treatment cycles, 26% needed four, and 21% needed five along the 14‐month clinical follow‐up. Meaningful improvement was observed at the end of each cycle with the clinical scores adopted. EFG had a dramatic effect on disease course, as during the year before treatment eight of 19 patients (42%) were hospitalized, and 15 of 19 (79%) needed treatment with plasma exchange or immunoglobulins; three of 19 (16%) were admitted to the intensive care unit. During EFG, none of the patients was hospitalized and only one patient required plasma exchange and intravenous immunoglobulins. No major side effects or infusion‐related reactions occurred.ConclusionsWe observed that EFG was safe and modified significantly the course of the disease along a 14‐month follow‐up. Our experience strengthens the role of FcRn inhibition as an effective new tool for long‐term treatment of gMG.

AbstractBackground and purposePrevious studies have examined the risk of stroke in patients with Parkinson disease (PD), but the incidence of PD onset among stroke patients and its risk according to severity of poststroke disabilities have scarcely been investigated. This study aims to determine whether the risk of PD is increased among stroke patients using a retrospective cohort with a large population‐based database.MethodsWe used data collected by the Korean National Health Insurance Service from 2010 to 2018 and examined 307,361 stroke patients and 380,917 sex‐ and age‐matched individuals without stroke to uncover the incidence of PD. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI), and the risk of PD was compared according to presence and severity of disability.ResultsDuring 4.31 years of follow‐up, stroke patients had a 1.67 times higher risk of PD compared to individuals without stroke (adjusted HR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.57–1.78). The risk of PD was greater among stroke patients with disabilities than among those without disabilities, even after adjustment for multiple covariates (adjusted HR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.55–1.91; and adjusted HR = 1.66, 95% CI = 1.56–1.77, respectively).ConclusionsOur study demonstrated an increased risk of PD among stroke patients. Health professionals need to pay careful attention to detecting movement disorders as clues for diagnosing PD.
