Learning from Habermas and Machiavelli: a thought experiment in supply chain management
Authors: Bille Amanda 
Published: January 2024

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to show the benefits of bridging the gap between supply chain management (SCM) and political philosophy to challenge the underlying assumptions about SCM concepts and open doors to novel theory building.Design/methodology/approachA thought experiment is conducted to illustrate how the two philosophers Niccolò Machiavelli and Jürgen Habermas would tackle sustainability issues in coffee supply chains from a research perspective. The thought experiment is carried out using data from 30 semi-structured interviews with actors from the coffee industry. Supplementing the thought experiment with empirical insights allows for a deeper understanding of supply chain dynamics and how these are impacted by the application of the philosophical viewpoints.FindingsThe research stresses the importance of SCM scholars being aware of the underlying assumptions of their research, as these have a remarkable impact on theory building. A combination of empirical insights and philosophical understandings makes it possible to reflect on the underlying concepts of SCM, providing suggestions for reimagining SCM.Originality/valueThe contribution of the research is twofold. First, the paper presents an original view on SCM, as the thought experiment is introduced as an approach to better understand SCM concepts. By challenging the underlying assumptions with political philosophy, researchers will be better equipped to address grand challenges in the twenty-first century. Second, this is exemplified by the case study of the coffee supply chain, which provides the reader with insight into the dynamics of supply chains with prevalent power differences.

PurposeThis paper aims to unravel the impact of post-pandemic COVID-19 on foreign direct investment (FDI) and its determinants in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Countries.Design/methodology/approachThe study utilized four macroeconomic variables includes growth domestic product growth rate (GDPG), inflation rate (IR), exchange rate (ER), and unemployment rate (UR) to assess their impact on post-pandemic FDI, along with two variables control of corruption (CC) and political stability (PS) to measure the influence of good governance. Random effects, fixed effects, cluster random effects, cluster fixed effects and generalized method of moments (GMM) models were applied to a balanced panel dataset comprising eight SAARC countries over the period 2010–2021. To identify the random trend component in each variable, three renowned unit root tests (Levin, Lin and Chu LLC, Im-Pesaran-Shin IPS and Augmented Dickey-Fuller ADF) were used, and co-integration associations between variables were verified through the Pedroni and Kao approaches. Data analysis was performed using STATA 17 software.FindingsThe major findings revealed that the variables have an order of integration at the first difference I (1). Nonetheless, this situation suggests the possibility of a long-term link between the series. And the main results of the findings show that the coefficients of GDPG, CC and PS are positive and significant in the long run, showing that these variables boosted FDI inflows in the SAARC region as they are significantly positively linked to FDI inflows. Similarly, the coefficients of UR, IR, ER and COVID-19 are negative and significant.Practical implicationsBy identifying the specific impacts of the post-pandemic FDI and its determinants, governments and policymakers can formulate targeted policies and measures to mitigate the adverse effects and enhance investment attractiveness. Additionally, investors can gain a deeper understanding of the risk factors and adapt their strategies accordingly, ensuring resilience and sustainable growth. Finally, this paper adds value to the literature on the post-pandemic impact on FDI inflows in the SAARC region.Originality/valueThis paper is the first attempt to trace the impact of COVID-19 on Foreign Direct Investment and its determinants in the SAARC Countries. Most of the previous studies were analytical in nature and, if empirical, excluded some countries due to the unviability of the data set. This study includes all the SAARC member countries, and all variables' data are completely available. There is still a lack of empirical studies related to the SAARC region; this study attempts to fill the gap.
Measuring novice auditor orientation and its impact on judgment
Authors: van Beest Ferdy , Pinsker Robert 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to construct and test a new measure of auditor orientation using two audit quality-related tasks.

Design/methodology/approach
The sample consists of 66 Dutch and US graduate auditing students. Participants complete two tasks: one involving a lease classification and another, supplemental experiment involving a contingent liability judgment. The purpose is to construct a new measure for rules-based/ principles-based orientation. Rigorous, psychometric testing confirms that parts of tolerance for ambiguity (TOA) and need for cognition (NFC), together, form a new construct the authors identify as auditor orientation. The authors next conduct a main and supplemental experiment with novice auditor participants from both the USA and the Netherlands.

Findings
The authors begin with rigorous, psychometric testing using participants from the USA and the Netherlands. The resulting 10-item scale combines parts of TOA and NFC to reflect auditor orientation. The common themes across scale items are high (low) adaptability to complexity and a substance-over-form (form-over-substance) preference for principles-oriented (PO) (rules-oriented [RO]) auditors. Conducting two experiments, results from two distinct tasks confirm our research question; novice auditors classified as RO (PO) are more (less) likely to recommend a more aggressive/client-favorable disclosure judgment.

Originality/value
Auditor orientation (i.e. rules or principles) has a significant impact on the application of rules-based or principles-based standards. How the standards are applied, therefore, influences auditor decision-making and thus audit quality. However, there is a paucity of auditor orientation research to date, including a validated measure. The study contributes a new measure for future research in the related accounting standards and audit quality literatures, while also identifying a potentially important construct in auditor training.

AbstractObjectiveGiven high rates of un‐ and underemployment among disabled people, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities rely on Medicaid, Medicare, or both to pay for healthcare. Many disabled adults are Medicare eligible before the age of 65 but little is known as to why some receive Medicare services while others do not. We described the duration of Medicare enrollment for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in 2019 and then compared demographics by enrollment type (Medicare‐only, Medicaid‐only, dual‐enrolled). Additionally, we examined the percent in each enrollment type by state, and differences in enrollment type for those with Down syndrome.Data Sources and Study Setting2019 Medicare and Medicaid claims data for all adults (≥18 years) in the US with claim codes for intellectual disability, Down syndrome, or autism at any time between 2011 and 2019.Study DesignAdministrative claims cohort.Data Collection and Abstraction MethodsData were from the Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System Analytic Files and Medicare Beneficiary Summary files.Principle FindingsIn 2019, Medicare insured 582,868 adults with identified intellectual disability, autism, or Down syndrome. Of 582,868 Medicare beneficiaries, 149,172 were Medicare only and 433,396 were dual‐enrolled. Most Medicare enrollees were enrolled as child dependents (61.5%) Medicaid‐only enrollees (N = 819,256) were less likely to be white non‐Hispanic (58.5% white non‐Hispanic vs. 72.9% white non‐Hispanic in dual‐enrolled), more likely to be Hispanic (19.6% Hispanic vs. 9.2% Hispanic in dual‐enrolled) and were younger (mean 34.2 years vs. 50.5 years dual‐enrolled).ConclusionThere is heterogeneity in public insurance enrollment which is associated with state and disability type. Action is needed to ensure all are insured in the program that works for their healthcare needs.
Auditor communication on critical audit matters: Timing, inspection likelihood, and the audit committee
Authors: Whitfield Aubrey R. , Kang Yoon Ju , Trotman Ken T. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractIn response to the extended audit report regulations implemented in the United States and internationally, both audit firms and regulators have increased scrutiny over critical audit matters/key audit matters (collectively referred to as CAMs) through internal and external inspections. At the same time, auditors and audit committees (ACs) have altered the content and timing of CAM‐related discussions by communicating specific planned audit procedures earlier in the audit process. This study explores the effect of early communication of CAM‐related audit procedures to the AC and increased scrutiny from inspections on auditors' propensity to adjust planned audit procedures in the presence of newly identified audit risks. Based on self‐justification theory, we predict and find that early communication of planned audit procedures to the AC causes auditors to be less likely to adjust planned audit procedures even when additional risks arise that necessitate change, especially when inspection is likely. This has the potential for diminished audit quality. Interviews with audit partners provide context for how these findings relate to the current auditing environment.
Voluntary disclosures regarding open market repurchase programs
Authors: Bargeron Leonce , Bonaimé Alice , Docimo William , Feng Mei , Thomas Shawn 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis paper studies voluntary disclosures that firms have suspended, resumed, or completed their open market repurchase programs. Voluntary disclosures of repurchase status updates are common and value‐relevant. They also inform subsequent repurchase activities: voluntary disclosers are more likely to complete their repurchase programs and to initiate new repurchase programs than firms with undisclosed repurchase status changes. Moreover, firms that disclose repurchase suspensions experience larger returns to subsequent repurchase authorizations, consistent with a reward for establishing a reputation for transparency via voluntary bad news disclosure. Finally, exploiting a change in repurchase reporting requirements, we document that voluntary updates are less frequent when mandatory disclosure increases. An important exception, however, is when macroeconomic uncertainty is high, such as during the Great Recession and the COVID‐19 pandemic.
Assessing gladiolus varieties for planting time using a phenological model based on agro‐meteorological indices
Authors: Kaur Ravijot , Jhanji Shalini 
Published: January 2024

AbstractPhenological models serve as a potent tool in management practices and determining flowering time in ornamental crops. Schwab's staging system for development of gladiola that relies on easily identifiable visual characteristics was used in the study to describe the detailed developmental stages and requirement of agrometeorological indices for each stage. The study was conducted with five gladiolus varieties planted at four different times to characterize the varieties for planting time. Plants under September and October plantings completed their phenological development in less time and accumulated fewer agrometeorological indices because of favourable temperature and short day conditions. The phenological model revealed that Punjab Lemon Delight and Punjab Glance could be planted in September as their blooming was delayed by 32 and 17 days, respectively and corm harvesting by 48 and 43 days respectively, when planted in December. The delay in blooming was 18 and 15 days respectively for Punjab Glad 3 and CPG and corresponding values for corm harvesting were 30 and 26 days when planting was done in December indicating that these varieties could be suitable for late planting. White Prosperity could be planted in October or November because when comparing planting in these 2 months, the number of days to bloom and the number of days to corm harvesting were similar.

AbstractFood allergy is a global public health problem that until recent years lacked any aetiological treatment supported by academy, industry and regulators. Food immunotherapy (AIT) is an evolving treatment option, supported by clinical practice and industry trial data. Recent AIT meta‐analyses have highlighted the difficulty in pooling safety and efficacy data from AIT trials, due to secondary heterogeneity in the study. An EAACI task force (CO‐FAITH) initiated by the Paediatric Section was created to focus on AIT efficacy outcomes for milk, egg and peanut allergy rather than in trial results. A systematic search and a narrative review of AIT controlled clinical trials and large case series was conducted. A total of 63 manuscripts met inclusion criteria, corresponding to 23, 21 and 22 studies of milk, egg and peanut AIT, respectively. The most common AIT efficacy outcome was desensitization, mostly defined as tolerating a maintenance phase dose, or reaching a particular dose upon successful exit oral food challenge (OFC). However, a large degree of heterogeneity was identified regarding the dose quantity defining this outcome. Sustained unresponsiveness and patient‐reported outcomes (e.g. quality of life) were explored less frequently, and to date have been most rigorously described for peanut AIT versus other allergens. Change in allergen threshold assessed by OFC remains the most common efficacy measure, but OFC methods suffer from heterogeneity and methodological disparity. This review has identified multiple heterogeneous outcomes related to measuring the efficacy of AIT. Efforts to better standardize and harmonize which outcomes, and how to measure them must be carried out to help in the clinical development of safe and efficacious food allergy treatments.
The aetiology of preterm birth and risks of cerebral palsy and cognitive impairment: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Authors: Ylijoki Milla , Sentenac Mariane , Pape Bernd , Zeitlin Jennifer , Lehtonen Liisa 
Published: January 2024

AbstractAimThe associations between the aetiology of preterm birth and later neurodevelopmental outcomes are unclear. A systematic review and meta‐analysis examined the existing evidence.MethodsThe PubMed and Embase databases were searched for papers published in English from inception to 16 December 2020. We included original papers on the causes of preterm birth and the risks of cerebral palsy (CP) and suboptimal cognitive development. Two reviewers independently evaluated the studies and extracted the data.ResultsThe literature search yielded 5472 papers and 13 were selected. The aetiology of preterm birth was classified under spontaneous or medically indicated delivery. A meta‐analysis was performed, comprising 104 902 preterm infants from 11 papers on CP. Preterm infants born after a medically indicated delivery had a lower CP risk than infants born after spontaneous delivery, with a pooled odds ratio of 0.59 (95% confidence interval 0.40–0.86). This result was robust in the subgroup and sensitivity analyses. Cognitive development was reported in three papers, which suggested that worse outcomes were associated with medically indicated deliveries.ConclusionThe aetiology of preterm delivery may contribute to the risk of CP and cognitive delay. Further research is needed, using individual‐level meta‐analyses to adjust for possible confounders, notably gestational age.
Beyond the lone hero: How interpersonal feedback seeking helps entrepreneurs to engage with their social environment
Authors: Drencheva Andreana , Stephan Ute , Patterson Malcolm 
Published: January 2024

AbstractEntrepreneurs are often depicted as lone heroes. However, they are encouraged to seek and use feedback from their social environment to refine their venture ideas and enhance performance. Surprisingly, systematic research on entrepreneurs' feedback‐seeking is in its infancy, and this nascent research is marked by conceptual vagueness about the feedback‐seeking process and the limitations of related concepts. This article leverages the rich research on feedback seeking from organizational behavior/applied psychology to explicate the nature of entrepreneurs' interpersonal feedback seeking while considering the specific demands of entrepreneurship. We delineate feedback seeking from related concepts and theorize a process model of how entrepreneurs seek feedback to pursue instrumental, ego, symbolic, and relational goals, resulting in outcomes not only for entrepreneurs but also for their ventures and immediate and wider social environments. This article provides a foundation for research on entrepreneurs' feedback seeking that is attentive to their personal goals and vulnerabilities while also considering the impact of this process on their social environment. Our conceptual model also offers new insights for organizational behavior/applied psychology research on feedback seeking in relation to the future of work.
How students can be effective citizens in the digital age: Establishing the Teachers' Perceptions on Digital Citizenship Scale
Authors: von Gillern Sam , Rose Chad , Hutchison Amy 
Published: January 2024

AbstractAs teachers are purveyors of digital citizenship and their perspectives influence classroom practice, it is important to understand teachers' views on digital citizenship. This study establishes the Teachers' Perceptions of Digital Citizenship Scale (T‐PODS) as a survey instrument for scholars to investigate educators' views on digital citizenship for their students. Drawing upon existing research, a theorized model of digital citizenship was developed and validated via a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), resulting in a 14‐item four‐factor model. Factor constructs include digital ethics, participation and engagement, informed citizens and civic know‐how. As teachers' views can shift over time, particularly with the emergence of new technologies, scholars can utilize T‐PODS as they investigate educators' perceptions of digital citizenship across time and context.Practitioner notesWhat is already known about this topic

Digital citizenship is crucial for modern society and involves becoming a well‐informed and responsible participant in digital spaces.
A few instruments exist for measuring digital citizenship, which have focused on the behaviours and perceptions of young people, including children and university students.
Teachers play an important role in helping children develop their digital citizenship skills.
What this paper adds

This study presents a new validated model that conceptualizes four key constructs of digital citizenship: digital ethics, participation and engagement, informed citizen and civic know‐how.
It also demonstrates the relationship between these constructs and their connections to the literature.
This article also establishes the Teachers' Perceptions of Digital Citizenship Scale (T‐PODS), a 14‐item survey instrument that measures teachers' perceptions of these four constructs.
Implications for practice and/or policy

Researchers and educators can use T‐PODS to understand teachers' perceptions of digital citizenship across time, locations and contexts.
Drawing upon the four key constructs, teachers can identify and address constructs, skills and processes that are most applicable to their students and educational goals.
Policymakers and curriculum developers can utilize these four constructs to develop both targeted and well‐rounded digital citizenship educational experiences.

Published: January 2024

AbstractEmodin is a naturally occurring anthraquinone derivative with a variety of pharmacologic effects, but its role and regulatory mechanism in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain to be investigated. Thus, the aim of this study is to explore the effect of emodin on CRC cells. A gradient of emodin and long noncoding RNA HCP5 overexpression plasmid/small interfering RNA targeting HCP5 (siHCP5) were used for treating CRC cells. Expression levels of RNAs and proteins were detected by utilizing quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. The viability, migration, and invasion of CRC cells were tested via cell counting kit‐8, wound healing, and Transwell assays. In HT29 and HCT116 cells, the viability, migration, and invasion, along with HCP5 expression, were suppressed by emodin in a dose‐dependent manner. HCP5 overexpression elevated the viability, migration as well as invasion, and up‐regulated N‐cadherin, MMP‐2, and MMP‐9 levels, while reducing E‐cadherin expression. Nevertheless, silencing of HCP5 inhibited the viability, migration as well as invasion, and down‐regulated N‐cadherin, MMP‐2 and MMP‐9 expression levels, while increasing E‐cadherin expression. Additionally, the promoting role of HCP5 overexpression in CRC cells was reversed by emodin, while the suppressive role of siHCP5 was enhanced by emodin in CRC cells. Our study indicates that emodin is a promising agent to inhibit CRC progression through suppression of HCP5 expression.
Not so Black and White: Interracial marriage and wages
Authors: Houseworth Christina , Fisher Jonathan 
Published: January 2024

AbstractWe examine wages of Black and White interracially married individuals compared to their intramarried counterparts in the United States. We find a raw interracial marriage wage penalty for White spouses and a raw interracial marriage wage premium for Black spouses. The differential disappears for females, but not for males, when controlling for selection on standard wage equation variables. Negative selection on unobservables into interracial marriage explain the White male penalty. We find a larger penalty for White males and a smaller premium for Black males in states that were forced to allow interracial marriage by the Supreme Court.
