The effect of corporate governance, corporate social responsibility and information asymmetry on the value of Indonesian-listed firms
Authors: Lahjie Annisa Abubakar , Natoli Riccardo , Zuhair Segu 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
This study aims to examine the influence of corporate governance (CG) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on firm value while accounting for the impact of information asymmetry.

Design/methodology/approach
This empirical analysis is based on 1,079 observations from 83 listed Indonesian firms for the period 2007–2019. The authors applied simultaneous equation models with ordinary least squares and two-stage least squares.

Findings
The authors present empirical evidence of CG mechanisms that significantly contribute to low levels of CSR. Moreover, the authors identify a significant impact of information asymmetry on the relationship between CG, CSR and firm value.

Research limitations/implications
The results show that information asymmetry, CG and CSR do not necessarily result in improved firm value across boards. Moreover, the employment of a nonlinear Cobb–Douglas-type function indicated diminishing marginal returns.

Practical implications
The findings can help policymakers in developing countries in improving the monitoring and supervisory roles of CG mechanisms to provide more support to CSR, increasing regulatory pressures for improved CSR performance and reducing information asymmetry by adopting a standardized CSR reporting scheme.

Social implications
The suggested implications can contribute to more sustainable practices among Indonesian-listed firms as well as improving relationships with consumers and stakeholders toward the practice of CSR.

Originality/value
The adoption of a comprehensive CSR measurement tool to examine the value of CSR contributes to the extant literature, along with examining the impact of information asymmetry on the relationship between CG, CSR and firm value in a developing country context.
“I never display my emotions”: emotion suppression among Ultra-Orthodox female teachers
Authors: Oplatka Izhar , Vertaimer Riki 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThe current study explored the process of emotion regulation among Ultra-Orthodox female teachers in Jewish educational system in Israel.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a semi-structured interview comprising 13 Ultra-Orthodox female teachers in single-sex education for girls.FindingsThe teachers preferred to suppress their positive and negative emotions rather than displaying them in their interactions with students, emphasizing the importance of self-restraint and self-control in their professional work and in their religious society.Originality/valueThe paper sheds light on the connection between traditional societies whose culture is grounded deeply in their religious faith and teachers' modes of emotion regulation. The findings may enhance the understanding of cultural and contextual influences on teachers' emotion regulation and shed light on the ways in which female teachers balance their personal feelings with emotional rules in the religious society in which they live and work.
Between friend and foe: drivers and patterns of dyadic relationship framing in policy network
Authors: Lee Junesoo , Lee Jeongyoon 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThis article aims to explore (1) specific frames of dyadic relationship in policy network beyond a simplistic dichotomy of “friend or foe” and (2) the multi-dimensional drivers behind the framing patterns.Design/methodology/approachTo that end, the interviews with the key actors in a nuclear energy policy network in South Korea were conducted, and their relationships in terms of three dimensions were analyzed: belief accordance, communication frequency and resource symmetry.FindingsAs a result, 12 relationships that can occur in the policy networks were identified: helping, collaborating, cooperating, unconcerned, stabilizing, observing, pushing, confronting, challenging, ignoring, watching and avoiding. These 12 frames were observed in various in-/congruent patterns between network actors.Originality/valueThe findings provide theoretical and practical implications on why and how the network actors may assess one another through the 12 discrete frames, which are drawn from the three dimensional drivers of belief accordance, communication frequency and resource symmetry.
Optimal employment model for an entrant platform in on-demand service market
Authors: Zhang Ling , Feng Nan , Feng Haiyang , Li Minqiang 
Published: October 2023

PurposeFor an entrant platform in the on-demand service market, choosing an appropriate employment model is critical. This study explores how the entrant optimally chooses the employment model to achieve better performance and investigates the optimal pricing strategies and wage schemes for both incumbent and entrant platforms.Design/methodology/approachBased on the Hotelling model, the authors develop a game-theoretic framework to study the incumbent's and entrant's optimal service prices and wage schemes. Moreover, the authors determine the entrant's optimal employment model by comparing the entrant's optimal profits under different market configurations and analytically analyze the impacts of some critical factors on the platforms' decision-making.FindingsThis study reveals that the impacts of the unit misfit cost of suppliers or consumers on the pricing strategies and wage schemes vary with different operational efficiencies of platforms. Only when both the service efficiency of contractors and the basic employee benefits are low, entrants should adopt the employee model. Moreover, a lower unit misfit cost of suppliers or consumers makes entrants more likely to choose the contractor model. However, the service efficiency of contractors has nonmonotonic effects on the entrant's decision.Originality/valueThis study focuses on an entrant's decision on the optimal employment model in an on-demand service market, considering the competition between entrants and incumbents on both the supplier and consumer sides, which has not been investigated in the prior literature.
Is it fair? How and when exploitative leadership impacts employees' knowledge sharing
Authors: Wang Changyu , Zhang Yimeng , Feng Jiaojiao 
Published: October 2023

PurposeExploitative leadership as a form of destructive leadership may hinder employees' knowledge sharing. However, how and when exploitative leadership impacts employees' knowledge sharing is under explored. Drawing on fairness heuristic theory, this study aims to construct a moderated mediation model to investigate the impacting mechanisms of exploitative leadership on employees' knowledge sharing by introducing organization-based self-esteem as a mediator and perceived organizational procedural justice as a moderator.Design/methodology/approachTo test the research model, data were collected from 148 full-time employees at two-time points and analyzed using partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).FindingsExploitative leadership has a direct negative impact on knowledge sharing. Through the mediation of organization-based self-esteem, exploitative leadership has an indirect impact on knowledge sharing. Organizational procedural justice can weaken the indirect negative relationship between exploitative leadership and knowledge sharing via organization-based self-esteem.Originality/valueThis study is the first to introduce fairness heuristic theory to explain the relationship between exploitative leadership and knowledge sharing. Findings about the mediating role of organizational self-esteem and the moderating role of organizational procedural justice in the relationship between exploitative leadership and knowledge sharing can uncover the black box of how exploitative leadership affects knowledge sharing.
Should asset impairments be included in earnings when evaluating stewardship by management?
Authors: Dymock Andrew , Wells Peter , Govendir Brett 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to consider the relevance of asset impairments when evaluating stewardship by management.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper considers association of earnings (including and excluding asset impairments) with contemporaneous stock returns which are used as a measure of management performance and demonstration of stewardship.

Findings
Evidence is provided of earnings including asset impairments (an accounting measure of current measure firm performance) having a higher explanatory power for contemporaneous stock returns (an objective evaluation of current period firm performance) than earnings exclusive of asset impairments. Consistent with this, recognized asset impairments are significantly associated with contemporaneous stock returns. These results occur across firm years generally, as well as for firm years exhibiting indicators of impairment and firm years recognizing asset impairments.

Research limitations/implications
This paper adds to the literature providing evidence of asset impairments not being recognised on a timely basis. Additionally, challenges are identified in evaluating the relevance of accounting information for so-called growth firms.

Practical implications
These findings support continued recognition of asset impairments in the Statement of Profit or Loss if stewardship is accepted as an objective for financial reporting. It also suggests issues with the recognition of asset impairments that might be addressed by enhanced disclosure.

Originality/value
This paper is distinctive in that it considers the relevance of accounting information for evaluating stewardship, as distinct from decision-making. It also considers alternate measure of performance (earnings including and excluding asset impairments) for all firms rather than only those disclosing an alternate measure (i.e. a fair horse race)

PurposeThis research study evaluates an innovative community-oriented policing program, designed to enhance officer accountability, thereby informing the scholarly community and agency decision-makers.Design/methodology/approachA multi-method approach was employed, leveraging pre- and post-implementation data collection phases. Data were collected via surveys of officers and focus groups with officers, as well as interviews with agency decision-makers.FindingsWhile officers were originally resistant to the STOP Card program, postimplementation perceptions, evinced through both survey and focus group data, were supportive. Agency administrators were consistently supportive of the initiative.Originality/valueThis is a novel program, implemented by a university police agency set in an urban area. The utility of this and similar efforts may influence agency initiatives.
Toward a circular tourism industry: the importance of a start-up ecosystem
Authors: Vargas-Sanchez Alfonso 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThis paper contributes to addressing the research gap relating to the absence of a systematic analysis as to how new technologies can support the application of circular economic principles in the tourism industry through the promotion and articulation of a start-up ecosystem able to feed tourism organizations with circular economy solutions.Design/methodology/approachA sample from a population of start-ups, mainly Spanish, linked to the circular economy was gathered and analyzed; in addition to secondary data, a survey was designed and administered for the purpose of primary tourism industry data collection.FindingsA holistic start-up ecosystem for circular tourism is taking shape, facilitated by interactions between tourism and other economic activities, with the aim of tackling a diversity of circular economic objectives. The interest from start-ups in the circular economy for tourism seems to be rising, with attention given to certain technologies in line with the trend toward digitization and automation processes. Nevertheless, the potential for growth in the application of Technology 4.0 remains significant. Finally, the circular principle of reduction (energy and food waste) has emerged as a key objective in tourism.Originality/valueThe article provides insights on the application of circular economic principles in tourism through its interaction with a specialized start-up ecosystem able to support a paradigm shift toward circular tourism.
Unraveling the debate: Can the skin manifestations of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection and vaccination be explained by the reactivation of herpes virus?
Authors: Getzler Itamar E. , Vered Shiraz , Gavze Revital Perlov , Adler Limor , Oved Michal 
Published: October 2023

AbstractSince the COVID‐19 outbreak, there have been numerous reports concerning COVID‐19 skin manifestations. Debate has ensued as to whether these lesions are unique or represent a form of viral reactivation. The aim of this research was to compare the incidence of herpetic skin lesions between a COVID‐19 group, a Sars‐CoV‐2 mRNA vaccination group, and their respective controls, taking into account their Herpesviridae carrier status. To achieve this goal, the Maccabi Healthcare Services' database was scanned and cohorts of both verified COVID‐19 and mRNA vaccinated patients were extracted and matched to random control groups. Patients with a documented occurrence of any Herpesviridae infection that occurred prior to the studied ‘event’ (i.e., COVID‐19 or mRNA vaccination) were regarded as carriers of Herpesviridae. A COVID‐19‐related or vaccination‐related lesion was defined as a clinically diagnosed herpetic lesion appearing 1 month after the index date. In the COVID‐19 cohort, there was an insignificant difference in herpetic lesion incidence between the groups. However, logistic regression demonstrated that the interaction of COVID‐19 with the Herpesviridae carrier status was statistically significant. For the vaccination cohort, the data showed statistically significant differences between groups in herpetic frequencies, which manifested as an almost 2‐fold odds of developing a herpetic lesion. In conclusion, following the analysis of two large cohorts, there is evidence to support the contribution of both COVID‐19 and the mRNA vaccine to the reactivation of Herpesviridae. Our results diminish the idea that COVID‐19 has unique, herpetic‐like lesions.
Dermato‐neuro syndrome after COVID‐19 infection in a patient with scleromyxoedema: Previously successful treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins
Authors: Li Yan , Wang Hui , Wang Aiqin , Zhao Guowei 
Published: October 2023

AbstractScleromyxedema (SMX) is a rare disease of unknown cause. It is a chronic, progressive, metabolic disorder characterized by a generalized papular and scleroderma‐like rash, as well as a subtype of lichen myxedematosus. Dermato‐neuro syndrome (DNS) is a rare neurological complication of SMX. It has flu‐like prodromal symptoms; consists of a triad of fever, coma, and seizures; and can be life‐threatening. We describe a patient with SMX complicated by DNS after infection with COVID‐19. Her symptoms resolved after treatment with acyclovir and low‐dose glucocorticoids, suggesting that DNS seizures may have a viral cause. Her skin lesions also improved after seven courses of intravenous immunoglobulin treatment, confirming that intravenous immunoglobulin is effective in these cases.
Virtual, augmented, and mixed reality as a versatile tool in food consumer behavior evaluation: Recent advances in aroma, taste, and texture incorporation
Authors: Bhavadharini B , Monica V , Anbarasan R , Mahendran R 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe perceptual behavior of consumers on a product displayed in the market has a vital role in analyzing the importance given to that product. Therefore, various strategies have been developed to understand this consumer behavior in the selection of products. Immersive technologies like virtual, augmented, and mixed reality are among them. With the foremost feature of immersion in the virtual world and interaction of users with virtual objects, virtual reality, and augmented reality have unlocked their potential in research and a user‐friendly tool for analyzing consumer behavior. In addition to these technologies, mixed reality also has a significant role in investigating consumer behavior. Studies on immersive technologies in food applications are vast, hence this review focuses on the applications of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality in the food selection behavior of consumers. The behavioral studies are elicited to develop new products based on consumer needs, to understand the shopping behavior in supermarkets for real‐time usage, and to know the influence of emotions in a selection of products. The findings suggest that virtual, augmented, and mixed reality induce immersion of the users in food selection behavioral studies. Information on the technological advancements in the tools used for bringing immersion and interaction are discussed for its futuristic applications in food. Though immersive technology gives users a realistic virtual environment experience, its application in food systems is in the budding stage. More research on human response studies would contribute to its innovative and inevitable application in the future.
Object use in insects

Published: October 2023

AbstractInsects are the most diverse group of organisms in the animal kingdom, and some species exhibit complex social behaviors. Although research on insect object use is still in its early stages, insects have already been shown to display rich object‐use behaviors. This review focuses on patterns and behavioral flexibility in insect object‐use behavior, and the role of cultural evolution in the development of object‐use behaviors. Object use in insects is not widespread but has been documented in a diverse set of taxa. Some insects can use objects flexibly and display various object‐use patterns. Like mammals and birds, insects use objects in diverse activities, including foraging, predator defense, courtship, and play. Intelligence, pre‐existing manipulative behaviors, and anatomical structure affect innovations in object use. In addition, learning and imitation are the main mechanisms underlying the spread of object‐use behaviors within populations. Given that insects are one of the major animal groups engaging in object use, studies of insect object use could provide general insights into object use in the animal kingdom.
HARKing can be good for science: Why, when, and how c/should we Hypothesizing After Results are Known or Proposing research questions After Results are Known
Authors: Baruch Yehuda 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis provocation challenges the current view that practicing HARKing (Hypothesizing After Results are Known) must be avoided under all circumstances. I explain why and under which circumstances scholars may be allowed, even encouraged, to follow this practice. I use the extant literature and specific cases to show how HARKing can help generate new and worthy knowledge, and why an outright ban on HARKing is wrong for the field of social sciences—and, particularly, for business and management studies. The argument expands the phenomenon to PARKing too (Proposing research questions After Results are Known). The implications for knowledge creation are critical because this practice could hinder research and might defy logic. This provocation is intended as a thought‐provoking exercise, hopefully leading to changes in the approach and mindset of scholars. HARKing could offer a major added value to the field as it helps to develop knowledge that, so far, has been blocked by attempts to ban HARKing, and thereby may help open new avenues for knowledge creation.
Combatting biofilms in potable water systems: A comprehensive overview to ensuring industrial water safety
Authors: Li Yuanzhe , Qu Yunzhuo , Yang Haoyi , Zhou Xingxin , Xiao Peng , Shao Tiancheng 
Published: October 2023

AbstractBiofilm formation in industrial potable water systems, encompassing applications such as drinking, emergency showers, firefighting and sanitary appliances, presents a multifaceted challenge that has significant implications for both equipment efficiency and human health. These microbial communities, comprised of bacteria, fungi and protozoa, adhere to surfaces and are embedded within an extracellular matrix, primarily of polysaccharide origin. The formation and persistence of these biofilms can lead to reduced system efficiency and potential health risks due to microbial‐induced corrosion, contamination and waterborne pathogens. This review delves into the physicochemical and microbial factors promoting biofilm growth in these systems and elucidates contemporary strategies for their control and eradication. By harnessing advanced methodologies, including state‐of‐the‐art filtration, disinfection techniques and predictive monitoring, stakeholders can proactively address biofilm‐related challenges. The emphasis of this comprehensive overview is on the interdisciplinary nature of biofilm growth, combining insights from microbiology, engineering and water chemistry to pave the way for an integrative approach to ensuring consistent industrial water quality.
An evaluation of naloxone transit for opioid overdose using drones: A case study using real‐world coroner data
Authors: Royall Paul G. , Courtney Patrick , Goodair Christine , Copeland Caroline S. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractBackground and aimsOpioids are now the most cited class in fatal overdoses. However, the antidote for opioid overdose—naloxone—is not always readily available. Our aim was to evaluate the feasibility of naloxone transit via drone to provide rapid access at the point of care.Methods and findingsReal‐world data pertaining to opioid overdoses, which occurred in the Teesside area of the UK 2015–2019, were extracted from the National Programme on Substance Abuse Deaths (NPSAD). The original locations of these opioid overdoses were used to compare the projected response times of ambulances with that of drones when considering the impacts of actual traffic and weather conditions, respectively; 58 cases were identified where a bystander—who could have called for and administered emergency naloxone—was likely present.ResultsIn 78% of cases (n = 45/58) a class C1 commercial‐off‐the‐shelf drone carrying naloxone could have reached the overdose location in 7 min—the benchmark time for the arrival of emergency services for Category 1 calls in England. With the implementation of recent advances in drone engineering, such as increased speeds and temperature‐controlled cargo cradles, it is estimated that 98% of overdoses could have been reached in this timeframe (n = 57/58). Ambulances were able to reach a significantly lower number of cases in 7 min, even when considering best‐case scenario traffic conditions (14%, n = 8/58, χ2 P < 0.001).ConclusionsThis study provides proof‐of‐concept that, in the Teesside area of the UK, drones are more likely than ambulance to get naloxone to the site of an opioid overdose in 7 min.
