Love thinketh no evil: mediation role of brand love on consumer religiosity and consumer forgiveness in Tanzanian Islamic banking
Authors: Amani David 
Published: December 2023

Purpose
This study aims to develop and test a research model that explores the empirical relationship between consumer religiosity, brand love and consumer forgiveness. Its objective was to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms that can influence consumers to extend forgiveness to brands in the context of Islamic banking in Tanzania.

Design/methodology/approach
The study used a quantitative cross-sectional survey design to gather data from 399 respondents in the Dodoma and Dar-es-salaam regions of Tanzania. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data, which were subsequently analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with AMOS 21.

Findings
The study’s findings revealed that consumer forgiveness is influenced by the level of brand love at an individual level. Additionally, the findings indicate that in the context of Islamic banking, brand love is an emotional behavior that is influenced by the strength of religious beliefs, that is, consumer religiosity. Consequently, the findings highlighted the mediating role of brand love in the proposed relationship between consumer religiosity and consumer forgiveness.

Practical implications
The fact that Islamic banking is guided by Islamic laws (Sharia) and Islamic values means that competitiveness in this sector can be established by serving consumers who are well-versed in Islamic teachings and doctrines. Furthermore, customers who possess a strong understanding of Islamic teachings and doctrines can be an asset to Islamic banks, as they are less likely to switch banks due to service delivery issues.

Originality/value
This empirical study is one of the few attempts to explore the relationship between consumer religiosity, consumer forgiveness and brand love. It expands our understanding of consumer forgiveness by examining the influence of deontological norms (applying norms to assess Islamic banking practices) and teleological evaluation (evaluating Islamic banking practices based on the overall balance of right and wrong expected to occur).

Published: December 2023

PurposeThe purpose is to use co-citation analysis of servant leadership (SL) research to investigate the evolution of the field, its subfields, gaps and opportunities for future research in a systematic manner.Design/methodology/approachA document co-citation technique and three clustering algorithms (latent semantic index (LSI), the log-likelihood ratio (LLR) and the mutual information (MI) index) were employed to analyse 24,030 references from 549 articles spanning a period of 50 years.FindingsCluster analyses reveal that SL research consists of eight distinct subfields: (1) conceptualisation and measurement of SL; (2) SL and related theories; (3) methodological foundations and empirical expansion of SL research; (4) individual-level cognitive effects of SL and related theories; (5) “Warmth effects” of leadership behaviour; (6) antecedents of effective leadership; (7) SL, marketing, sales management and ethics and (8) SL, job design and work engagement. Important gaps and opportunities for future research are identified.Research limitations/implicationsThe analyses do not show a complete picture of research on SL. Interesting works used by subgroups of SL researchers may not have enough citations to be included in the results. Moreover, bibliometric analyses do not explain the impact of books, journals and articles on the practice of SL. The authors welcome future analyses of the most influential sources of SL practice. The authors expect that managerial and practice-oriented books and journals, such as the International Journal of Servant Leadership and the Servant Leadership Theory and Practice, would play a central role in such analyses.Practical implicationsThe discussions of the nature of SL, its effects and antecedents are useful to leaders who want to develop a SL style or assist others in developing it. For researchers and doctoral students, the cluster analyses of co-citations give an overview of the subfields of SL research and reveal important knowledge gaps in the literature.Social implicationsSL has several favourable effects on the motivation and psychological well-being of followers. Also, followers tend to adopt a willingness to serve.Originality/valuePrevious research has categorised SL research into three broad categories or phases. The cluster analyses of the co-citations reported here reveal a meaningful structure of eight distinct subfields. Knowledge gaps within the subfields represent novel opportunities for future research on SL. The authors also suggest a new subfield of SL research: pedagogical approaches to the motivation and development of SL skills.

Published: December 2023

PurposeIn this context, the aim of the present research is to examine what factors determine that consumers restrain from shopping used products through the Internet. So, this research aims to analyze what makes consumers prevent from shopping second-hand products online.Design/methodology/approachFor this purpose, the authors propose and empirically test a conceptual model of the barriers towards online second-hand shopping behavior. Drawing on a sample of 405 consumers data were analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM).FindingsThe findings reveal that contamination effects and the lack of trust towards the online store, followed by the low perceived product reliability and the poor product perceived quality prevent consumers from shopping used products online. Conversely, consumer embarrassment for shopping second-hand products and the purchase uncertainty do not influence consumers' second-hand shopping behavior.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the marketing literature on second-hand shopping, being an attempt to explore the factors that prevent consumers from purchasing used products through the Internet.
Cultural influences on early trust development in virtual teams
Authors: Gardner Ross , Blomme Robert J. , Kil Ad , van Dam Nick 
Published: December 2023

Purpose
Transference-based trust (TBT) via referral sources is a cognitive process where trust in third-party information about an individual transfers to trust in the individual. TBT via referral sources can have significant effects on early trust development in a virtual team (VT). This study aims to examine the potential influence of Hofstede’s (1980) cultural variables and two proposed combinations of these cultural variables on early trust development in VT, including the effects of referral source.

Design/methodology/approach
This study adopted multigroup analysis partial least squares structural modeling to examine potential cultural differences in the responses of 357 university students from 51 different countries to understand early trust development in VT.

Findings
TBT via referral sources as in interpersonal construct has a positive, direct impact on early trust development. TBT mediated the individual and organizational model constructs. There were significant differences in the high/low values of 3 of the 56 tested cultural dimensions.

Research limitations/implications
Reaffirmed the validity of cognitive-based trust models in understanding early trust development in VTs TBT as an interpersonal construct and has a significant influence on early trust development in VTs. TBT via referral sources mediated the individual and organizational constructs of the model. There were significant differences in the high/low measures of three cultural dimensions (i.e. IV, M and the combination of IV-M-LT) in the relationship of early trusting beliefs to early trusting intensions.

Practical implications
To positively influence interpersonal and organizational aspects of trust development, managers should ensure that the early phases of VTs, before actual implementation begins, are well organized. Managers could make VT members fully aware of how referral sources can influence early trust development. Managers could encourage individuals to have open access to relevant social media accounts for other VT members and encourage individuals to research referral sources on other VTs members. The implication for managers of culturally diverse VT is that the development of early trust is largely by individual choice, rather than differences in national culture.

Social implications
People need to maintain and actively manage their online presence, ensuring that online information about them is accurate and updated. Referral sources could help VT members learn about one another, which might in turn help foster early trust in their online teams.

Originality/value
Although some studies have found significant cultural differences in early trust development, other studies, including a meta-analysis of 43 studies, found no significant cultural differences in early trust development. This study confirmed the results of the meta-analysis.
Unveiling the factors influencing transparency and traceability in agri-food supply chains: an interconnected framework
Authors: Essien Aniekan , Chukwukelu Godwin Onyekachi , Kazantsev Nikolai , Subramanian Nachiappan 
Published: December 2023

Purpose
The global food industry is faced with the dilemma of finding a balance between food wastage and food shortage. Approximately one-third of food produced globally goes to waste, while about 800 million people suffer from undernourishment. Given this context, the purpose of this study is to investigate the unresolved challenges related to enhancing transparency associated with products of high perishability and low shelf life.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors conducted 25 interviews with global agri-food supply chains (AFSCs) experts to ask what impedes the progress of the current technologies, such as blockchain, to enable transparency and traceability (T&T) in AFSCs.

Findings
The findings indicate barriers at the individual, firm and supply chain levels. Based on these barriers, the authors propose an interconnected framework to explain technologically-driven T&T and guide on barrier removal from AFSCs. The authors conclude that by applying technology (i.e. blockchain) the authors can resolve the tension of supporting T&T in AFSCs. This can enable the efficient and transparent tracking of goods, reduction of food waste and loss, as well as promotion of the use of recyclable packaging and further sustainable practices and materials, all of which are aligned with a range of UN Sustainable Development Goals (2, 8, 10 and 12). Moreover, the authors see that some factors are interrelated. Based on these factors, the authors build an interconnected framework to guide on barrier removal from AFSCs. Managers in AFSC would find the findings especially relevant.

Originality/value
Drawing on industrial network theory and signalling theory, the authors propose an interconnected framework for explaining barriers (challenges) and potential solutions (opportunities) to T&T in AFSCs. This framework is developed by examining the interconnections of barriers at micro, meso and macro levels and applying signalling theory to explain how solutions address these barriers. The specific contributions of this study are: the list of barriers that impede the implementation of technological solutions for T&T in AFSCs; and a three-stage framework that explains how to remove the barriers for T&T. The study is limited by the focus on blockchain, which calls for future research once the next decentralised technology becomes available.

AbstractCervical cancer is caused mostly by human papillomavirus (HPV), and several HPV vaccines have been developed to prevent its onset. Vaccines include antigens as well as adjuvants, with adjuvants playing an important role in activating the innate immune responses necessary for inducing adaptive immunological responses. Recent research has shown the presence of trained immunity inside the innate immune system. However, trained immunity conferred by HPV vaccinations is not well understood. In this work, we explored the innate immune responses and trained immunity caused by two HPV vaccines, Cervarix and Gardasil. Cervarix includes monophosphoryl lipid A and an aluminum adjuvant, and it significantly increased the expression of IL‐6 and IFN‐β mRNAs in RAW264.7 cells. On the contrary, Gardasil, which only includes an aluminum adjuvant, exhibited little cytokine expression but increased the expression of TLRs. Furthermore, Cervarix significantly increased IL‐1β secretion from mouse macrophages, while Gardasil only mildly induced IL‐1β secretion. Interestingly, initial stimulation with Gardasil enhanced the expression of IL‐6 and TNF‐α mRNAs upon secondary stimulation with TLR ligands, indicating that Gardasil induced trained immunity in macrophages. Moreover, Gardasil injection into mice resulted in enhanced TNF‐α production in sera following secondary TLR stimulation. Our findings suggest that HPV vaccinations have the ability to induce trained immunity that modulate TLR ligand responses.
No evidence for fractal scaling in canopy surfaces across a diverse range of forest types
Authors: Fischer Fabian Jörg , Jucker Tommaso 
Published: December 2023

AbstractCanopy structural complexity is a key emergent property of forest ecosystems that directly relates to their ability to store carbon, cycle water and nutrients, and provide habitat for biodiversity. However, we lack a general framework for quantifying the structural complexity of forest canopies, and it remains to be seen if there are simple rules that explain the huge variation in canopy structure that we observe across the world's forests.A leading candidate for characterizing differences in structural complexity among forest ecosystems are fractal scaling laws, or measures of statistical self‐similarity. If forest canopies were fractal in nature, their structural attributes could be distilled into a single coefficient—their fractal dimension—which could then be used to directly compare structural differences within and across biomes.To test this idea, we used airborne laser scanning (ALS) data acquired across nine landscapes in Australia that span a huge environmental gradient and include everything from dry shrublands, tropical savannas, dense rainforests, to 90 m tall Mountain Ash forests. Using the ALS data, we built high‐resolution 3D canopy height models of each landscape so that we could quantify how closely they followed fractal scaling laws, based on a comprehensive set of fractal dimension estimators.Across all ecosystem types, fractal scaling assumptions were consistently violated, with clear and systematic differences between real‐world forest canopies and simulated fractal surfaces. However, deviations from fractality did vary predictably among sites, with forests in less arid environments, dominated by tall trees with large crowns, exhibiting a higher degree of self‐similarity across scales.Synthesis: Our study conclusively shows that canopy surfaces are not fractal beyond the scale of individual tree crowns. Nevertheless, we still observed ecologically meaningful and generalisable patterns in forest structure across scales, which closely reflect biophysical and physiological constraints on tree size and architecture. These patterns point the way towards a more general framework for characterizing ecological complexity.
Considerations of dialect on the identification of speech sound disorder in Vietnamese‐speaking children
Authors: Phạm Ben , McLeod Sharynne 
Published: December 2023

AbstractBackgroundThe dialect spoken by children influences diagnostic decision‐making regarding the identification and severity of speech sound disorder (SSD).AimsThe primary objective was to review papers that examined the influence of dialect on the identification of SSD in Vietnamese‐speaking children.Methods & ProceduresFive studies of mono‐ and multilingual Vietnamese‐speaking children living in Vietnam and Australia were reviewed to examine the influence of dialect on the assessment and analysis children's speech. The main Vietnamese dialects (Standard, Northern, Central, Southern) differ in the production of consonants, vowels and tones.Main contributionMost speech assessments define correct production using the standard dialect of a language. Insights from recent studies of Vietnamese provide recommendations for also considering dialect in diagnostic decision‐making. First, we recommend adding column(s) to the assessment score sheet that includes the dialectal variants spoken by adults in the child's family or community. Second, we calculate the accuracy of production twice, based on the standard form and dialectal form. Third, we report the percentage of consonants correct—standard (PCC‐S) and percentage of consonants correct—dialect (PCC‐D).Conclusions & ImplicationsDiagnostic decision‐making is influenced by dialectal variation in children's speech, so speech and language therapists need to compare standard and dialectal productions when undertaking assessments, analysis and diagnostic decision‐making.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDSWhat is already known on the subject
Most speech assessments use the standard form of a dialect as the correct production. The standard dialect is used for diagnosis of SSD and identification of intervention targets.What this paper adds to the existing knowledge
This paper examines five research studies of Vietnamese to identify ways to consider dialect in speech and language therapy assessment and analysis. Vietnamese provides a complex environment for this examination since there are numerous Vietnamese dialects and they differ according to consonants, vowels and tones.What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work?
Speech and language therapists are encouraged to add column(s) to their assessment score sheet that includes the dialectal variants spoken by adults and to report the PCC‐S and PCC‐D.

Published: December 2023

AbstractSpecial education teachers' attitudes to teaching students with disabilities in the regular classroom were investigated alongside demographic characteristics. They had positive attitudes to inclusive teaching, with males, expatriates and Cycle. Two teachers being more positive. Attitudes towards inclusion were not, however, significantly correlated with age, place of residence, education, teaching experience or specialty. These findings offer the Ministry of Education important evidence on teacher attitudes to inclusive education, for the promotion of collaboration, respect and equality. Through inclusion, students with disabilities can form positive relationships with peers and grow to become fully participating members of the learning community.

Published: December 2023

AbstractIn 2020, the Chesapeake Bay Program moved to offset impacts from climate change for the 30‐year period from 1995 through 2025 by having its seven watershed jurisdictions (Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia) apply additional nutrient pollutant reduction practices. The climate change assessment was performed with integrated models of the Chesapeake watershed, airshed, and estuary. Scenarios run for the years 2025, 2035, 2045, and 2055 estimated effects from the different future climatic conditions. This article presents the results of that assessment and is intended to provide a guide to assist other modeling practitioners in assessing climate change impacts in coastal watersheds. Major influences of climate change that were quantified include increases in precipitation volume, potential evapotranspiration, watershed nutrient loads, tidal water temperature, and sea level. Minor influences quantified in the climate change analysis include changes in nutrient speciation and increases in wet deposition of nitrogen, CO2, rainfall intensity, tidal wetland loss, up‐estuary salt intrusion, and phytoplankton biomass. To offset climate change impacts from 1995 to 2025 on water quality, the scenarios indicate an additional 2.3 million and 0.3 million kg of nitrogen and phosphorus per annum, respectively, will need to be reduced beyond what is called for in the Chesapeake Total Maximum Daily Load.

Published: December 2023

AbstractAimsThe aim of this study was to measure the effectiveness of an on‐line, neuroscience‐based harm reduction intervention (The Illicit Project) on substance use, harms and knowledge over a 12‐month period.DesignWe used a two‐arm cluster‐randomized controlled trial.SettingThe study was conducted at eight secondary schools across New South Wales, Australia.ParticipantsA total of 950 (mean age = 15.9; standard deviation = 0.68) in grades 10–12 at participating schools in 2020 took part.Intervention and comparatorThe Illicit Project intervention group (schools = five, n = 681) received an on‐line, universal substance use and harm reduction programme over three classes. The active control group (schools = three, n = 269) received school‐based health education as usual.MeasurementsSelf‐report questionnaires assessed primary [alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, 3,4‐methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), cocaine and prescription drug misuse] and secondary outcomes (alcohol‐related harms and drug literacy) at baseline and the 6‐ and 12‐month follow‐up assessment.FindingsApproximately 63% (n = 595) of the sample completed the 12‐month follow‐up assessment, including 58% of the intervention group (n = 396/679) and 66% of the active control group (n = 179/271). Participants in the intervention group had slower annual increases in binge drinking [odds ratio (OR) = 0.33, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.12–0.89], nicotine use (OR = 0.80, 95% CI = 0.52–1.23), MDMA use (OR = 0.14, 95% CI = 0.02–1.00), cocaine use (OR = 0.06, 95% CI = 0.01–0.64) and prescription drug misuse (OR = 0.07, 95% CI = 0.01–0.54) compared with the active control group. There was limited evidence of an intervention effect on cannabis use and alcohol‐related harm (P > 0.5). The secondary outcomes showed that the intervention group maintained higher levels of drug literacy knowledge (β = 3.71, 95% CI = 1.86–5.56) and harm reduction help‐seeking skills (β = 1.55, 95% CI = 0.62–2.48) compared with the active control group.ConclusionThe Illicit Project (an on‐line, neuroscience‐based substance use harm reduction intervention) was effective in slowing the uptake of risky substance use and improving drug literacy skills among late secondary school students in Australia, compared with school‐based health education as usual.
