Users in preparers' shoes: mobilizing the sense of belonging in popular report development in local governments
Authors: Cohen Sandra , Karatzimas Sotirios 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThe scope of this study is to explore informed citizens' engagement in the development of real municipalities' popular reports. For this purpose, an exploratory experiment is performed where potential users of popular reports with certain accounting skills (i.e. groups of undergraduate accounting students) act as preparers of these reports.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses insights from the sense of belonging theory in an ambivalent way: to explain citizens' interest in popular reports and to consider popular reports as an impetus triggering citizens' sense of belonging. By content-analyzing the reports developed and taking stock of the students' perceptions on aspects of popular reports, a template for a popular report for local governments is synthesized. Further, by comparing the study findings with theoretical recommendations and popular reporting practices, the authors offer insights on the content and layout of popular reports which is expected to enhance the sense of belonging of citizens within their city.FindingsThe undergraduate students while relying on earlier examples and existing models have created their own reports in which they have used financial and non-financial information indicating the significance of both types of information for citizens. The evidenced heterogeneity in the developed reports is expected to be the effect of the sense of belonging. Moreover, the study reveals citizens' positive stance toward the adoption of co-development and co-creation approaches in the design of popular reports by citizen groups and municipal authorities which is consistent with a sense of belonging mobilization.Originality/valueThis study adds to the literature on the content and characteristics of popular reports by giving voice to the citizens themselves through an exploratory experiment that permits the sense of belonging to take effect.

Published: October 2023

PurposeThe exponential growth of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, coupled with advanced algorithms and increased computational capacity, has facilitated their widespread adoption in various industries. Among these, the financial technology (FinTech) sector has been significantly impacted by AI-based decision-making systems. Nevertheless, a knowledge gap remains regarding the intricate mechanisms behind the micro-decision-making process employed by AI algorithms. This paper aims to discuss the aforementioned issue.Design/methodology/approachThis research utilized a sequential mixed-methods research approach and obtained data through 18 interviews conducted with a single FinTech firm in France, as well as 148 e-surveys administered to participants employed at different FinTechs located throughout Europe.FindingsThree main themes (ambidexterity, data sovereignty and model explainability) emerge as underpinnings for effective AI micro decision-making in FinTechs.Practical implicationsThis research aims to minimize ambiguity by putting forth a proposition for a model that functions as an “infrastructural” layer, providing a more comprehensive illumination of the micro-decisions made by AI.Originality/valueThis research pioneers as the very first empirical exploration delving into the essential factors that underpin effective AI micro-decisions in FinTechs.
The relationship between green packaging awareness, initiatives, and behavior: an exploratory study on India rural population
Authors: George Hesil Jerda , Susainathan Sahayaselvi , Parayitam Satyanarayana 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the antecedents and consequences of green packaging behavior (GPB). A conceptual model has been developed wherein green packaging awareness (GPA) and green packaging initiatives (GPI) are precursors of GPB, and environmental concern and availability of various green packaging alternatives are moderators. The outcomes of GPB in terms of environmental and personal benefits are examined.

Design/methodology/approach
Unlike most papers focusing on green packaging from a marketing perspective, this study explores the behavior of rural households from 47 villages in southern India. A carefully crafted survey instrument was developed, and data were collected from 395 respondents. After checking the instrument’s psychometric properties, the results were analyzed using Hayes’s PROCESS macros.

Findings
The results indicate that GPA and GPI are positively associated with GPB, GPA predicts GPI, and GPI mediates the relationship between GPA and GPB. Furthermore, findings suggest that environmental concern moderates the relationship between GPI and GPB, and the three-way interaction between the availability of green packaging (second moderator), environmental concern (first moderator), and GPI influences the GPB. Moreover, the outcomes of GPB in terms of environmental and personal benefits are established.

Research limitations/implications
This research has several theoretical implications. It documents that individual awareness of green packaging is a precursor to GPB. This study focused on the rural population from a developing country (India) and hence may suffer from a lack of generalizability across developed nations. However, the results could be generalizable across other developing nations worldwide.

Practical implications
This study motivates individuals to engage in proenvironmental behavior. Moreover, it highlights the importance of GPB in deriving environmental and personal benefits. It is also equally crucial for individuals to engage in proper waste management practices so that the environment is not polluted.

Social implications
The findings from this research are helpful to society as it focuses on the proenvironmental behavior of individuals. Particularly concerning packaging, this study points out that buying products with green packaging and reusing and recycling such packages is essential to protect the environment.

Originality/value
This study fills the gaps in the literature by focusing on the GPB of the rural population. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the moderated-mediation model developed and tested in this research is the first of its kind and thus makes a significant contribution to the literature on green packaging and waste management.
At a cost: A review of the public accountability risks of Social Impact Bonds
Authors: Demuynck Simon , Van Dooren Wouter 
Published: October 2023

AbstractSocial Impact Bonds (SIBs) have gained popularity as an alternative financing method for public services. SIBs promise to have lower risks for public budgets than traditional approaches. However, integrating private finance instruments into established public accountability procedures is notoriously difficult. Through a systematic review of the empirical research on implemented SIBs, this article examines those public accountability concerns. The results indicate that narratives of a new, more horizontal way of holding organisations accountable should not be accepted too easily. Risks are identified in the literature in four public accountability dimensions: transparency, controllability, responsiveness, and liability. Accountability safeguards will need to centre on establishing detailed procedures that precisely delineate the role of each actor, building effective platforms for both gathering and sharing information, and adequately transferring risks. At the same time, these safeguards could come at the cost of the attractiveness of the instrument for investors, creating a catch‐22 in which making the SIB a sustainable model of service delivery at the same time may undermine its viability.Points for practitioners
To address public accountability risks, practitioners can focus on establishing procedures that clearly define the roles of each actor involved in the SIB, creating effective platforms for gathering and sharing information between partners and making sure that financial risks are adequately transferred to private partners.
At the same time, implementing safeguards for public accountability may prove challenging, as it increases transaction costs and undermines the attractiveness of SIBs for all actors.
Administrations should use SIBs sparingly and transition from multiplex SIBs to two‐party contracts once programmes prove effective.
Effect of electron donors on CO2 fixation from a model cement industry flue gas by non‐photosynthetic microbial communities in batch and continuous reactors
Authors: Alvarez‐Guzmán Cecilia Lizeth , Muñoz‐Páez Karla María , Valdez‐Vazquez Idania 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of different inorganic compounds as electron donors for the capture of CO2 from a model cement flue gas CO2/O2/N2 (4.2:13.5:82.3% v/v) using a non‐photosynthetic microbial community. The inoculum obtained from a H2‐producing reactor was acclimated to CO2 consumption achieving 100% of CO2 removal after 45 days. Na2S, MnCl2, NaNO2, NH4Cl, Na2S2O3, and FeCl2 were used as energy source for CO2 fixation by the acclimated microbial community showing different efficiencies, being Na2S the best electron donor evaluated (100% of CO2 consumption) and FeCl2 the less effective (28% of CO2 consumption). In all treatments, acetate and propionate were the main endpoint metabolites. Moreover, scaling the process to a continuous laboratory biotrickling filter using Na2S as energy source showed a CO2 consumption of up to 77%. Analysis of the microbial community showed that Na2S and FeCl2 exerted a strong selection on the microbial members in the community showing significant differences (PERMANOVA, p = 0.0001) compared to the control and the other treatments. Results suggest that the CO2 fixing pathways used by the microbial community in all treatments were the 3‐hydroxypropionate‐4‐hydroxybutyrate cycle and the Wood‐Ljungdahl pathway.

AbstractThe industrial potential of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has extended beyond its traditional use in fermentation to various applications, including recombinant protein production. Herein, comparative genomics was performed with three industrial S. cerevisiae strains and revealed a heterozygous diploid genome for the 98‐5 and KSD‐YC strains (exploited for rice wine fermentation) and a haploid genome for strain Y2805 (used for recombinant protein production). Phylogenomic analysis indicated that Y2805 was closely associated with the reference strain S288C, whereas KSD‐YC and 98‐5 were grouped with Asian and European wine strains, respectively. Particularly, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in FDC1, involved in the biosynthesis of 4‐vinylguaiacol (4‐VG, a phenolic compound with a clove‐like aroma), was found in KSD‐YC, consistent with its lack of 4‐VG production. Phenotype microarray (PM) analysis showed that KSD‐YC and 98‐5 displayed broader substrate utilization than S288C and Y2805. The SNPs detected by genome comparison were mapped to the genes responsible for the observed phenotypic differences. In addition, detailed information on the structural organization of Y2805 selection markers was validated by Sanger sequencing. Integrated genomics and PM analysis elucidated the evolutionary history and genetic diversity of industrial S. cerevisiae strains, providing a platform to improve fermentation processes and genetic manipulation.
Metabarcoding using nanopore long‐read sequencing for the unbiased characterization of apicomplexan haemoparasites
Authors: Huggins Lucas G. , Colella Vito , Young Neil D. , Traub Rebecca J. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractApicomplexan haemoparasites generate significant morbidity and mortality in humans and other animals, particularly in many low‐to‐middle income countries. Malaria caused by Plasmodium remains responsible for some of the highest numbers of annual deaths of any human pathogen, whilst piroplasmids, such as Babesia and Theileria can have immense negative economic effects through livestock loss. Diagnosing haemoparasites via traditional methods like microscopy is challenging due to low‐level and transient parasitaemia. PCR‐based diagnostics overcome these limitations by being both highly sensitive and specific, but they may be unable to accurately detect coinfections or identify novel species. In contrast, next‐generation sequencing (NGS)‐based methods can characterize all pathogens from a group of interest concurrently, although, the short‐read platforms previously used have been limited in the taxonomic resolution achievable. Here, we used Oxford Nanopore Technologies' (ONT) long‐read MinION™ sequencer to conduct apicomplexan haemoparasite metabarcoding via sequencing the near full‐length 18S ribosomal RNA gene, demonstrating its ability to detect Babesia, Hepatozoon, Neospora, Plasmodium, Theileria and Toxoplasma species. This method was tested on blood‐extracted DNA from 100 dogs and the results benchmarked against qPCR and Illumina‐based metabarcoding. For two common haemoparasites, nanopore sequencing performed as well as qPCR (kappa agreement statistics > 0.98), whilst also detecting one pathogen, Hepatozoon felis, missed by the other techniques. The long‐reads obtained by nanopore sequencing provide an improved species‐level taxonomic resolution whilst the method's broad applicability mean it can be used to explore apicomplexan communities from diverse mammalian hosts, on a portable sequencer that easily permits adaptation to field use.

Published: October 2023

AbstractLung carcinosarcoma is acknowledged as a rare form of lung cancer. Due to its rarity, the inability to conduct large‐scale clinical trials and interventions is currently carried out based on empirical evidence. In this study, we report the case of a 73‐year‐old female patient diagnosed with postoperative recurrence of lung carcinosarcoma. The resected tumor was diagnosed as lung carcinosarcoma, and genetic testing revealed the presence of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon21 L858R. Approximately 2 years postoperatively, the tumor recurred and the patient was treated with erlotinib plus ramucirumab, which were effective in controlling metastatic disease. Erlotinib plus ramucirumab is therefore a treatment option for EGFR mutation‐positive lung carcinosarcoma.
How do lead auditor instructions influence component auditors' evidence collection decisions? The joint influence of construal interpretations and responsibility
Authors: Zhu Skye , Phang Soon‐Yeow 
Published: October 2023

AbstractRegulators have raised concerns about the quality of component auditors' work. Of particular concern is that component auditors often do not adequately perform procedures and gather enough quality evidence. This failure is likely caused by component auditors' different interpretations of lead auditor instructions and by their lack of responsibility. Our interview findings suggest that component auditors tend to interpret lead auditor instructions concretely because they often receive detailed instructions from lead auditors. We propose that a responsibility prompt reminding component auditors to be aware of their obligations to the group audit engagement can improve their evidence collection. In two experiments, we find that our proposed responsibility prompt can effectively improve component auditors' evidence collection decisions and that this finding holds across different cultural settings. Our third experiment provides evidence that a responsibility prompt improves component auditors' evidence collection when provided to auditors who receive instructions that prime low‐level (but not high‐level) construals. Overall, our findings suggest that prompting component auditors to internalize the responsibility of a group audit engagement is a viable way to improve the quality of group audits.

Published: October 2023

AbstractWe explored farmers' perceptions of the causes and consequences of human‐carnivore conflict in Maze National Park, Ethiopia. We selected 225 household heads randomly from five villages for interview using survey questionnaires. We identified the five villages randomly from the 16 that border the park. The majority (75.1%) of the respondents had a negative perception towards the park and the carnivores due to livestock depredation. Overall, 1142 livestock depredation were reported over 3 years (2017–2019). Cattle, sheep and goats were reportedly the most depredated animals. The numbers of livestock depredated significantly varied among villages and predators. Farmers perceived lions as the major livestock depredator followed by leopards and spotted hyaenas and they perceived that proximity, poor livestock husbandry and low natural prey density were the main causes of livestock depredation. The distance of the household holdings to the park was correlated negatively with the depredation level. Farmers use guarding, cut‐and‐carry systems and dogs to reduce carnivores' predation. Allocating enough spatial differences between the park and the villages and altering the timing and frequency with which livestock grazing overlaps with the diurnal activities of carnivores may lead to a win–win outcome promoting coexistence.

Published: October 2023

BackgroundEvidence to guide intrapartum care when an unborn baby has died is limited.AimsTo explore parents' experiences of care during labour of an antepartum stillbirth.Materials and MethodsSemi‐structured interviews with 18 bereaved parents from across Australia. Content analysis was conducted.FindingsTwo broad themes were identified: ‘explaining every step’ and ‘helping us feel like parents.’ Sub‐themes under the first broad theme, ‘explaining every step’, were ‘how and when information was given’ and ‘what happens next.’ ‘Like any other parent’, ‘feeling the pain’ and ‘everything is clouded’ were sub‐themes of the second broad theme. These findings mapped to current Australian clinical practice guidelines for bereavement care around stillbirth and neonatal death, ie good communication, recognition of parenthood, shared decision making and effective support.ConclusionsThis study on parents' experiences of labour with a fetal death in utero brings an important perspective to intrapartum care for this group. As far as we are aware, this study is the first to focus solely on this aspect of care. Our findings could be readily mapped to the four perinatal bereavement care goals. Parents wanted care providers to facilitate their choices, their sense of control, their autonomy and their agency. They wanted to feel that they had received the ‘best’ care available.
How does fairness promote innovative behavior in organizational change?: The importance of social context
Authors: Kim Myungsun , Choi Daejeong , Guay Russell P. , Chen Angela 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis study examined how and when employee perceptions of change fairness increase their engagement in innovative behavior during organizational change. Drawing upon fairness heuristic theory, we suggest that change fairness plays a pivotal role as a key heuristic about trustworthiness of leaders and managers in motivating employees to engage in innovative behavior. We also suggest that this change fairness effect becomes stronger or weaker depending on social contexts (change norms, change norm strength, and status differentiation) within a group. Our findings from survey data (N = 318; 35 teams) supported our hypotheses, showing that change fairness is positively related to innovative behavior and that this relationship becomes weaker when (a) group members demonstrate supportive behaviors for the planned change on average (positive change norms), (b) all group members uniformly demonstrate change‐supportive behaviors (strong change norms), and (c) group members' social status perceptions are similar (low status differentiation). We provide insights into theory development and change implementation in practice by highlighting the crucial role of fairness as a key decision heuristic about the trustworthiness of management and demonstrating how social contexts substitute the fairness effect on innovative behavior.
‘Finprint’ technopolitics and the corporatisation of global food governance
Authors: Martin Sarah J. , Mather Charles 
Published: October 2023

AbstractOur concern in this paper is the environmental ‘footprinting’ of food and its role as a source of technopolitical power in global food governance. Our case is the highly industrialised farmed salmon sector which currently generates metrics and carefully curated visualisations to promote this fish as a more sustainable and ‘climate friendly’ protein relative to animal protein produced on land. We show how these metrics and visualisations depend on an industrial production and measurement infrastructure. Significantly, this infrastructure and the metrics that it generates is being promoted as a ‘climate smart’ solution to small‐scale and extensive aquaculture in the Global South. Salmon aquaculture industry proposals for the transfer of technology from salmon farming to global aquaculture are explicitly articulated in global food governance and other institutional spaces. While there may be frictions in the transfer of salmon aquaculture's infrastructure of measurement to aquaculture in the Global South, our analysis suggests that environmental footprinting of food—and its associated measurement infrastructure—may be an emerging source of technopolitical power in increasingly corporatised global food governance systems.
Lymphocytic vasculitis in livedoid vasculopathy: A report of 137 cases

Published: October 2023

AbstractBackgroundLivedoid vasculopathy (LV) is characterized by fibrin deposition and thrombosis in the small vessels of the superficial dermis. It is widely recognized as an occlusive disease, which is primarily treated with anticoagulation therapy.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical and histopathological characteristics of patients diagnosed with LV at a tertiary dermatology department to explore the characteristics of lymphocytic vasculitis in LV. The frequency of vasculitis and the types of vessels involved were examined based on the diameters and elastic fiber distribution of the involved vessels. In addition, the immunophenotypes of infiltrating lymphocytes were analyzed.ResultsIn a large retrospective series including 358 LV cases, we identified 137 (38.3%) cases of lymphocytic vasculitis. Among them, 48 cases involved medium‐sized vessels, including arterioles and venules, whereas 89 cases involved only small vessels. In addition, 12 cases displayed a segmental distribution of vasculitis. The infiltrating lymphocytes were mainly T cells, with dominant cells stained positive for CD4.ConclusionsLymphocytic vasculitis forms part of the histological spectrum of LV, affecting both medium‐sized and small vessels. It is possible that the occlusion of small vessels may represent a phenomenon secondary to lymphocytic vasculitis.
