Academic accounting and interdisciplinary research – Australian evidence
Authors: Christ Katherine Leanne , Burritt Roger Leonard , Martin-Sardesai Ann , Guthrie James 
Published: January 2024

PurposeGiven the importance of interdisciplinary research in addressing wicked problems, this paper aims to explore the development of and prospects for interdisciplinary research through evidence gained from academic accountants in Australia.Design/methodology/approachExtant literature is complemented with interviews of accounting academics in Australia to reveal the challenges and opportunities facing interdisciplinary researchers and reimagine prospects for the future.FindingsEvidence indicates that accounting academics hold diverse views toward interdisciplinarity. There is also confusion between multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity in the journals in which academic accountants publish. Further, there is mixed messaging among Deans, disciplinary leaders and emerging scholars about the importance of interdisciplinary research to, on the one hand, publish track records and, on the other, secure grants from government and industry. Finally, there are differing perceptions about the disciplines to be encouraged or accepted in the cross-fertilisation of ideas.Originality/valueThis paper is novel in gathering first-hand data about the opportunities, challenges and tensions accounting academics face in collaborating with others in interdisciplinary research. It confirms a discouraging pressure for emerging scholars between the academic research outputs required to publish in journals, prepare reports for industry and secure research funding, with little guidance for how these tensions might be managed.
Traditional family system, local government recognition and citizens' perceptions of homosexuality in Japan: an exploratory study
Authors: Takashino Nina , Davidson Robert Joseph , Keeni Minakshi 
Published: January 2024

PurposeJapan has made some progress in recognizing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) rights, such as passing laws that prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in some cities. However, there is still a long way to go in terms of legal protection and social acceptance. Understanding citizens' attitudes toward homosexuality can help inform policies and interventions that promote LGBTQ rights and reduce discrimination. This study explores factors that influence citizens' attitudes toward homosexuality in Japan.Design/methodology/approachThe research was conducted through a web-based questionnaire with 1,806 participants, where they were asked about their views on same-sex partnership recognition, homosexual rights and traditional Japanese family systems. The collected data were statistically analyzed to determine the factors that affect individuals' opinions regarding homosexuality.FindingsThe study determined that in Japan, traditional views are inversely related to same-sex partnership registration. Conversely, local government support for LGBTQ+ rights is directly associated with societal acceptance. Additionally, closer contact with the LGBTQ+ community promotes acceptance.Social implicationsThe study provides insights into the factors that shape societal attitudes toward homosexuality in Japan and highlights the importance of policies promoting diversity and inclusivity. By identifying these determinants, this study could help policymakers and advocates create effective strategies for promoting acceptance and equality for the LGBTQ+ community in Japan.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study that focuses on understanding the factors that influence the attitudes of Japanese citizens toward homosexuality.
A servant perspective of leadership and knowledge co-creation process for IT/IS exploration-exploitation innovation in the B2B enterprise context
Authors: Sheng Margaret L. , Saide Saide 
Published: January 2024

PurposeThis study aims to build an integrated model for information technology (IT)/information system (IS) team exploration and exploitation innovation in the business-to-business (B2B) enterprise context by empirically investigating the mediating role of tacit-explicit knowledge co-creation and exploring the behavior approach of servant leaders for IT/IS team exploration-exploitation innovation.Design/methodology/approachThe authors' analysis was supported by 182 enterprise-IT/IS teams (403 participants) in Taiwan. The authors used a questionnaire and Structural Equation Model (SEM)-SmartPLS to validate the development model. This study examines IT/IS exploration-exploitation innovation using a combination of quantitative survey research and qualitative case studies.FindingsThe specific roles of direct and mediating effects for two innovations of IT/IS team exploration and exploitation were investigated. The findings show a direct effect of knowledge creation (tacit and explicit) on IT/IS team exploration-exploitation innovation. Servant leader behavior positively influences tacit-explicit knowledge co-creation practices, IT/IS team exploration and exploitation. Moreover, knowledge creation (tacit and explicit) successfully mediates the correlation between servant leaders and IT/IS team innovations (for exploration and exploitation).Practical implicationsManagers, IT/IS consultants and enterprises at the executive level are suggested to encourage knowledge co-creation practices, both tacit and explicit to support their IT/IS team innovation. The greater the degree of explicit knowledge (i.e. socialization and internalization) and tacit knowledge creation (i.e. externalization and combination), the greater will be the opportunities for meeting the enterprise-IT/IS team exploration and exploitation innovation goals. The project manager may follow servant leadership behavior to promote effective knowledge co-creation process on the IT/IS team.Originality/valueThis effort contributes to greater and new understanding of how ambidexterity capability, tacit-explicit knowledge co-creation (mediators) and servant leaders for IT/IS team exploration-exploitation innovation in the B2B enterprise context and new foundations for future studies on a cross-enterprise IT/IS team. This research is also the first empirical effort to understand how a servant perspective leadership contributes through the knowledge co-creation process for IT/IS exploration-exploitation innovation.

Published: January 2024

Purpose
Current issues (such as health and economy-related) emerged due to the impact of COVID-19 on women’s and children’s health. The purpose of this opinion paper is to understand the world’s health issues after COVID-19.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors study the devastating effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives of women and children in 2023. The authors have applied the content analysis method and reviewed the post-COVID-19 impacts on women’s and children’s health. As a result of unemployment or financial instability, the fear of economic insecurity increases cases of women and child violence, child labour and other health issues. According to the study, the authors find that post-COVID-19-related health issues increase at a high level.

Findings
After COVID-19, across the world, children and women have gone through domestic violence and health issues (i.e. stress, anxiety and so on) and the vulnerable situation of children and women has badly impacted their mental and physical health.

Originality/value
Many children were orphaned, and the poor died due to poverty. COVID-19 has had a direct or indirect effect on children and women all over the world till today. This opinion paper focuses on post-COVID-19 issues that we all have forgotten to include in our current discourse.
Fight against hair loss together: exploring self-disclosure and social support in an online hair loss support community
Authors: Zhang Zizhong 
Published: January 2024

Purpose Hair loss is often overlooked but psychologically challenging. However, the emergence of online health communities provides opportunities for hair loss patients to seek social support through self-disclosure. Nevertheless, not all disclosures receive the desired support. This research explores what patients disclose within the community and how their health narrative (content, form and linguistic style) regarding self-disclosure influences the social support they receive.Design/methodology/approachThis study investigated a 13-year-old online support group for Chinese hair loss patients with nearly 240,000 members. Using structural topic modeling, Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count, and a negative binomial model, the research analyzed the content of self-disclosure and the interrelationships between social support and three narrative dimensions of self-disclosure.FindingsSelf-disclosures are classified into 14 topics, grouped under analytical, informative and emotional categories. Emotion-related self-disclosures, whether in content or effective word use, receive deeper social support. Longer and image-rich posts attract more support in quantity, but not necessarily in quality, while cognitive words have a limited impact.Originality/valueThis study addresses the previously overlooked population of hair loss patients within online health communities. It employs a more comprehensive health narrative framework to explore the relationship between self-disclosure and social support, utilizing unsupervised structural topic modeling methods to mine text. The research offers practical implications for how patients seek support and for healthcare professionals in developing doctor-patient communication strategies.
Police legitimacy in urban, suburban and rural settings: a study in Slovenia
Authors: Meško Gorazd , Hacin Rok 
Published: January 2024

PurposePolice legitimacy presents a social value of the institution based on citizens' normative, moral and ethical feelings that they should voluntarily comply with and support the authority of the police. The present study focuses on residents' perceptions of police legitimacy in different settings in Slovenia.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on data from a survey of 1,022 citizens in Slovenia, this study examined the correlates of police legitimacy and differences in citizen perceptions of police legitimacy in urban, suburban and rural settings.FindingsMultivariate statistical analyses showed that feelings of obligation to obey, trust in police, procedural justice, police effectiveness, relations with police officers and gender influence perceptions of police legitimacy. Significant differences between residents' perceptions of police legitimacy, obligation to obey, trust in police, procedural justice, police effectiveness and legal cynicism in urban, suburban and rural settings were also observed. In general, residents of rural areas were found to have more positive attitudes towards the police than those in urban and suburban settings.Practical implicationsThe article is useful for police leaders and practitioners planning policies and training of police officers for democratic policing.Social implicationsPolice legitimacy reflects the legitimacy of governance, as the police are the most visible representatives of the state authority. Therefore, police legitimacy is crucial for policing in urban, suburban and rural settings.Originality/valueThe study presents the first test of police legitimacy in a non-Western cultural environment based on a national sample of citizens, which enables the generalisation of concepts of legitimacy, and its correlates in a different cultural setting. The study also presents the first attempt to test and compare the effect of the settings (i.e. rural, suburban and urban) on variables influencing residents' perceptions of police legitimacy.
Government expenditure, informality, and economic growth: Evidence from Eastern and Southern African countries
Authors: Mawejje Joseph 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis study investigates the dynamic linkages among government expenditure, informality, and economic growth in 15 Eastern and Southern African countries over a 25‐year period during 1991–2015. The analysis exploits panel vector autoregressive models to construct the time path of one variable following an orthogonal shock to another variable using impulse response functions. The analysis is complemented by panel quantile regressions to investigate the potential role of informality in the expenditure–economic growth nexus. The findings are threefold. First, both government consumption and investment expenditure have positive and significant effects on real per capita GDP. Second, informality has a direct negative impact on real per capita GDP. Third, the informal sector dampens the impact of government expenditure on real per capita GDP. These results are robust to the inclusion of selected control variables and are unchanged across GDP quantiles. The study's findings suggest that government policies aimed at reducing informality can have direct impacts on economic growth and indirect impacts through improvements in the effectiveness of government expenditure.
Overdiagnosis and overtreatment of ground‐glass nodule‐like lung cancer
Authors: Liang Xinyu , Zhang Chao , Ye Xin 
Published: January 2024

AbstractLung cancer has had one of the highest incidences and mortality in the world over the last few decades, which has aided in the promotion and popularization of screening for lung ground‐glass nodules (GGNs). People have great psychological anxiety about GGN because of the chance that it will develop into lung cancer, which makes clinical treatment of GGN a generally excessive phenomenon. Overdiagnosis in screening has recently been mentioned in the literature. An important research emphasis of screening is how to reduce the incidence of overdiagnosis and overtreatment. This paper discusses from different aspects how to characterize the occurrence of overdiagnosis and overtreatment, how to reduce overdiagnosis and overtreatment, and future screening, follow‐up, and treatment approaches.
Continuity obstetric care demonstrates greater vaginal birth after caesarean success
Authors: Facchetti Georgina , Teo Zhen , Sharma Meenu , Budden Aaron 
Published: January 2024

BackgroundAustralia's caesarean rate is higher than Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) average, and is rising. Vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) is safe for selected women. Midwifery continuity of care (CoC) is associated with higher rates of vaginal birth compared to other models; however, impacts on VBAC attempts and success are unknown.AimsThe primary aim was to determine if there is a difference in achieving VBAC between CoC and non‐CoC (NCoC) models. The secondary aim was to determine if there is a difference in the proportion of women attempting VBAC between these models.Materials and MethodsRetrospective review of antenatal records and birthing data of all women who birthed in 2021 with one or more previous caesareans. Women were included if they had two or fewer caesareans. Women were excluded if contraindications to VBAC existed.ResultsThere were 142/1109 (12.8%) women who had previous caesareans and were eligible to attempt VBAC. There were 47/109 (43.1%) women who attempted vaginal birth after one caesarean with 78.7% success. After one caesarean, women in CoC were more likely to achieve VBAC than NCoC (45.2% vs 26.1%; relative risk (RR) 1.76, 95% CI 1.04–3.00), although when stratified by private and midwifery CoC models, women in midwifery CoC models were more likely to be successful (private RR 0.69, 95% CI 0.23–2.07 vs midwifery RR 2.48, 95% CI 1.50–4.11). Women in CoC were more likely to attempt VBAC (54.7% vs 34.8%; RR 1.57, 95% CI 1.02–2.41), and receive counselling about VBAC (92.5% vs 62%; RR 1.48, 95% CI 1.41–3.11).ConclusionCoC improves the rate of attempted and successful VBAC through several factors, including increased counselling and greater provision of birth choices.

Published: January 2024

SummaryVenetoclax (VEN) in combination with hypomethylating agents (HMAs) is considered the standard of treatment for individuals with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. We conducted a retrospective analysis that encompassed 16 critically ill patients newly diagnosed with AML who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and received the VEN and HMA regimen. Among them, 13 were primary AML, and three were MDS‐transformed AML. The mean Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score was 18.9, and the mean sepsis‐related organ failure assessment score (SOFA) was 6.2. The average length of the ICU stay was 27.3 days. The median duration of VEN administration was 16 days. After the first course of VEN + HMA, 12 cases (75%) achieved complete remission (CR) or CR with incomplete haematological recovery (CRi). Among the five patients harbouring TP53 mutations, the overall response rate (ORR) was 90%. All patients experienced grade 3–4 haematological adverse events (AEs). With a median follow‐up of 9.5 months (range: 0.5–23), the overall survival (OS) rate was 43.75%. TP53‐wild patients and CR state after the first course of VEN–HMA indicated better survival. The combination of VEN and HMA has demonstrated a significantly elevated therapeutic response rate in newly diagnosed AML patients with critical illness.
Picking a thorny rose: Optimal trading with spread‐based return predictability
Authors: Feng Linjun , Li Ya , Xu Jing 
Published: January 2024

AbstractSmall stocks' time‐varying spreads predict future return gap between small and large stocks. To optimally exploit such predictability, the investor captures current risk premium by purchasing at large spreads with substantially reduced turnover; uses an aim‐in‐front‐of‐the‐target approach to trade‐off between future risk premium and current transaction costs; and meets hedging demand at low costs. Strong interaction between transaction costs and return predictability leads to large losses from myopic trading. Greater variability of the spread is advantageous for investors who trade optimally but detrimental for investors who trade myopically. The spread‐based return predictability significantly increases the investment value of small stocks.

Relationships among the fish passage efficiency, fish swimming behavior, and hydraulic properties in a vertical‐slot fishway
Authors: Zhang Di , Xu Yuanhui , Deng Jun , Shi Xiaotao , Liu Yakun 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThree‐dimensional hydrodynamic numerical simulation and laboratory fish‐passage experiment with juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) were used to systematically estimate hydrodynamic parameters, fish passage efficiency, fish swimming behavior, and fish swimming trajectories in a vertical‐slot fishway (VSF) under five different flow discharges. The spatial‐mean time‐averaged velocity magnitude along the slot section determined passage success rate. The absolute value of the time‐averaged Reynolds‐shear‐stress component in the X–Y direction played a decisive role in selecting the swimming path. In addition, fish energy expenditure along the mean‐50% swimming route indicated that higher mainstream velocity did not necessarily signify larger energy consumption, because successfully‐migrating fish selected the relatively lower velocity zone during the migration process. Our findings for fish swimming behavior in response to velocity and turbulence can be used to develop high‐efficiency fishways for grass carps or other species with similar traits.

AbstractFuture phosphorus (P) shortages could seriously affect terrestrial productivity and food security. We investigated the changes in topsoil available P (AP) and total P (TP) in China's forests, grasslands, paddy fields, and upland croplands during the 1980s–2010s based on substantial repeated soil P measurements (63,220 samples in the 1980s, 2000s, and 2010s) and machine learning techniques. Between the 1980s and 2010s, total soil AP stock increased with a small but significant rate of 0.13 kg P ha−1 year−1, but total soil TP stock declined substantially (4.5 kg P ha−1 year−1) in the four ecosystems. We quantified the P budgets of soil–plant systems by harmonizing P fluxes from various sources for this period. Matching trends of soil contents over the decades with P budgets and fluxes, we found that the P‐surplus in cultivated soils (especially in upland croplands) might be overestimated due to the great soil TP pool compared to fertilization and the substantial soil P losses through plant uptake and water erosion that offset the P additions. Our findings of P‐deficit in China raise the alarm on the sustainability of future biomass production (especially in forests), highlight the urgency of P recycling in croplands, and emphasize the critical role of country‐level basic data in guiding sound policies to tackle the global P crises.
Context matters in ecological forecasting: Lessons in predicting species distributions
Authors: Zipkin Elise F. , Doser Jeffrey W. 
Published: January 2024

Forecasting the future state of a species is a tricky process, as there are numerous hidden factors that influence species trajectories in addition to the obvious unknowns about the future state of the planet. We echo the guidance of Clare et al. (2024) to use near‐term and long‐term forecasting in complementary ways. Near‐term forecasts can be used to guide specific management and conservation actions, which can be updated as new data and evidence are collected. Long‐term forecasts can be used to characterize uncertainty further into the future, which can help guide longstanding conservation planning and legislative actions that are based on such uncertainty in possible future outcomes.
Dilemmas of recognition and redistribution: Constituting intersectional subjects of inclusion in migrant support work
Authors: Kangas‐Müller Laura 
Published: January 2024

AbstractIn this study, I explore how the subject of inclusion is constituted as intersectional in the organizational discursive practices of a civil society organization promoting migrant and refugee inclusion. Drawing on Crenshaw's notion of political intersectionality and Fraser's politics of recognition and redistribution, I analyze the political dimension of an inclusion project by showing how intersectional categories are connected to differentiated struggles and strategies of inclusion. The ethnographic study illustrates how two subject positions are constituted as being underpinned by either the logic of recognition or redistribution. Moreover, the findings show how the two strategies interact, revealing the dynamics of privilege and disadvantage at play in the inclusion project. The paper contributes to critical studies on inclusion and intersectionality in organizational contexts by extending our understanding of power dynamics and tensions as integral parts of the intersectional approach.
