Published: March 2023

PurposeLiterature has widely discussed the relevant role of financial development in determining atmospheric quality. However, there has not been much discussion of how financial inclusion (FIC) plays its role in environmental quality. Thus, this research aims to unveil the role of financial inclusion in determining the CO2 emissions which serve as a proxy of environmental quality. In addition, this study examines the moderating role of corruption control (CC) in the nexus of FIC-CC.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical results were based on 22 years of annual data from five Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) economies, covering the years 1996–2017. The authors use the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model to check regression among variables.FindingsThe empirical findings first disclosed the positive impact of FIC whereas CC had an inverse impact on CO2 emissions. However, the moderating role of CC was observed in mitigating the adverse impact of FIC on ecological quality. In addition, the statistical analysis further showed an inverse impact of economic growth and foreign investment and a positive impact of trade volume and energy consumption on CO2 emissions.Practical implicationsThis analysis states an important policy regarding integrated FIC and green environmental requirements. Additionally, the negative externality of FIC can be controlled by improving the CC.Originality/valueThis study complements the existing literature on FIC and environmental quality by adding the moderating role of CC.

PurposeThis study aims to analyse the consumption inequality between farm and non-farm households in rural Vietnam, using the data from the 2016 Vietnam household living standards survey.Design/methodology/approachThe present paper applies the “recentered influence functions (RIF)” in “Oaxaca-Blinder (OB)” type decomposition as proposed by Firpo et al. (2018) to allow for the flexible distribution of the outcome variables and the non-randomness of non-farm employment that violates the classical linearity assumption.FindingsNon-farm households have significantly higher per capita consumption expenditure than farm households for the entire distribution. The gap in expenditure is large at low percentiles and narrowing with higher percentiles. At 10th percentile, the gap is estimated at 27.1%, but it is decreasing to 11.1% at 90th percentile. Most of the gaps are explained by the differences in the observed characteristics between farm and non-farm households such as ethnicity, education, income, internal transmittances and household composition. Non-farm households are endowed with more productive factors that result in higher per capita consumption expenditure.Originality/valueGaps in ethnicity and education are found to be key predictors of the inequality in consumption expenditures between farm and non-farm households, then, government policies that are aimed at increasing access to non-farm employment and education for ethnic minorities and for rural poor households are pathways to improve rural household welfare and hence reduce inequality.

Published: March 2023

PurposeResearch in the area of business model innovation (BMI) has focused on theoretical and exploratory discussions, thereby creating a lack of empirical evidence on the role of top management in BMI. The current study focuses on this research gap and provides empirical evidence by studying the impact of top managers’ managerial skills, managerial ties and entrepreneurial skills on BMI. It also seeks to explore the mediating influence of explorative and exploitative learning.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 200 respondents from top multinational firms in India covering six sectors, which was analyzed using structural equation modeling.FindingsThe findings reveal significant positive relationships of BMI with managerial skills, entrepreneur skills and managerial ties, and these relationships are found to be mediated by exploitative and explorative learning.Practical implicationsGiven the increasing importance of BMI to organizational success, the study has highlighted that top managers’ skills and ties favorably influence BMI. Organizations can make related investments in training and capacity building by instituting appropriate programs in their organizations. In addition, organizations can exercise caution during recruitment by recruiting and selecting managers in top management teams who excel in managerial skills.Originality/valueThis study is one of the few to validate a comprehensive measurement model that highlights the influence of managerial skills, entrepreneur skills and managerial ties on BMI, explaining these associations with the mediating role of exploitative and explorative learning.

PurposeSubstantial changes in the education system and the shift to online classes during the lockdown have raised teachers’ attention to the idea of practicing cooperative learning in online environments. Cooperative learning activities enhance academic skills if designed effectively. This study aims to explore students’ attitudes toward cooperative learning in online learning environments.Design/methodology/approachThis study is a descriptive study. A survey was administered to 50 graduate and postgraduate students of English as a Foreign Language.FindingsResults indicated that the students had positive attitudes toward the integration of cooperative tasks in online environments. They also revealed no significant differences in the attitudes toward cooperative learning based on the students’ level (i.e. undergraduate or postgraduate) and that the students preferred small groups.Originality/valueCooperative learning is a widely researched topic, especially in higher education. However, most of the previous studies reported results of the implementation of cooperative learning in traditional classrooms. This study aimed to fill this gap by examining the impact of online tools on cooperative learning.

Published: March 2023

PurposeConstruction organizations must maintain a productive workforce without sacrificing their health and safety. The global construction sector loses billions of dollars yearly to poor health and safety practices. This study aims to investigate benefits derivable from using wearable technologies to improve construction health and safety. The study also reports the challenges associated with adopting wearable technologies.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopted a quantitative design, administering close-ended questions to professionals in the Nigerian construction industry. The research data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.FindingsThe study found that the critical areas construction organizations can benefit from using WSDs include slips and trips, sensing environmental concerns, collision avoidance, falling from a high level and electrocution. However, key barriers preventing the organizations from adopting wearable technologies are related to cost, technology and human factors.Practical implicationsThe time and cost lost to H&S incidents in the Nigerian construction sector can be reduced by implementing the report of this study.Originality/valueStudies on WSDs have continued to increase in developed countries, but Nigeria is yet to experience a leap in the research area. This study provides insights into the Nigerian reality to provide directions for practice and theory.
Mechanisms by which growth and succession limit the impact of fire in a south‐western Australian forested ecosystem

Abstract

Forest wildfire impact is widely believed to increase with time since disturbance, presenting a dilemma for the persistence of fire‐sensitive species. However, in south‐western Australia, disturbance has been shown to increase wildfire likelihood for some decades before it again declines. It has been proposed that this trend occurs through ‘ecological controls’ on wildfire such as the self‐thinning of fire‐stimulated understorey growth.

Here, we analyse six proposed ecological controls using a surveyed chronosequence of a Eucalyptus jacksonii forest community. We quantify plant growth (growth and self‐pruning) and succession (changing plant traits, self‐thinning), along with consequent changes in surface and suspended litter. We then use a biophysical, mechanistic model to predict the dynamics of flame height and canopy scorch/consumption, along with suppression difficulty during wildfire conditions. To identify the importance of each potential ecological control, we separately manipulate them to grow hypothetical forests from 1 to 100 years; each with one of the controls removed. We then model flame height in each to compare with the original forest that had all controls present.

Fire initially promoted dense understorey regeneration, but ecological controls transferred this biomass from fuel (likely to ignite) to overstorey shelter (unlikely to ignite, creating a less flammable microclimate). The effect of these changes was to alter modelled fire behaviour, such that flame dimensions in mature forest were half those in regrowth, canopy damage greatly reduced, and fire suppression opportunities maximised. The primary controls were self‐thinning and self‐pruning.

Forest growth and succession explains observed trends in flammability dynamics in south‐western Australian forests, and the persistence of fire‐sensitive species over time. Approaches that cooperate with, rather than disrupt, these processes therefore provide a pathway to mitigate current climatic effects on fire.

The Anima as an Archetype of Human Resilience in the Face of Calamity1
Authors: Kuang Mei‐Fun 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis paper will provide a theoretical basis for looking at a dream in the analysis of a client during a calamity. Finding the archetype of the anima is a way of responding to a crisis, in this case to the COVID‐19 pandemic period. With all the basic instincts disrupted by a catastrophe, the emergence of the anima, as archetype of life, is there to remind us how to survive and recover. The anima archetype, often representing psychological resilience in ancient myths, shows up in dreams to guide human transformation from the struggle to survive trauma to the art of living a full life.

Published: March 2023

AbstractBackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) and renal dysfunction after heart transplantation are common and serious complications. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) has been shown to increase glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and exert renoprotective effects when used for the prevention/treatment of AKI in cardiac surgery. We tested the hypothesis that intraoperative and postoperative administration of ANP could prevent a postoperative decrease in renal function early after heart transplantation.MethodsSeventy patients were randomized to receive either ANP (50 ng/kg/min) (n = 33) or placebo (n = 37) starting after induction of anesthesia and continued for 4 days after heart transplantation or until treatment with dialysis was started. The primary end‐point of the present study was measured GFR (mGFR) at day 4, assessed by plasma clearance of a renal filtration marker. Also, the incidence of postoperative AKI and dialysis were assessed.ResultsMedian (IQR) mGFR at day 4 postoperatively was 60.0 (57.0) and 50.1 (36.3) ml/min/1.72 m2 for the placebo and ANP groups, respectively (p = .705). During ongoing ANP infusion, the need for dialysis was 21.6% and 9.1% for the placebo and ANP groups, respectively (p = .197). The incidences of AKI for the placebo and the ANP groups were 76.5% and 63.6%, respectively (p = .616). The incidences of AKI stage 1 were 32.4% and 21.2% for the placebo and ANP groups, respectively (p = .420) and for AKI stage 2 or 3, 37.8% and 42.4%, respectively (p = .808).ConclusionThe study failed to detect that ANP infusion attenuates renal dysfunction or decreases the incidence of AKI after heart transplantation.
Critical analysis of integration of ICT and data analytics into the accounting curriculum: A multidimensional perspective
Authors: Birt Jacqueline , Safari Maryam , de Castro Vincent Bicudo 
Published: March 2023

AbstractUndertaking a multistage qualitative approach, this study explores the accounting profession's demands for information communication technology (ICT) skills as well as the opportunities, challenges and influential factors that accounting academics encounter in embedding ICT and data analytics skills in the accounting curriculum. We employ content analysis of the course syllabi of all major Australian and New Zealand universities using term frequency‐inverse document frequency (TF‐IDF), and survey accounting heads of departments (or equivalents) and interview members of the industry. Our findings reveal diverse pedagogical approaches to embedding ICT and data analytics in the accounting curriculum. The findings also portray the gap between university accounting curricula and the professional bodies' ICT competencies requirements at the point of data collection. As such, challenges and future opportunities for the integration of topics related to ICT and data analytics are identified, which should be beneficial to academics and practitioners interested in future‐oriented curriculum designs that are fundamental to accounting graduates and the future of the profession.
Scanning electron microscopic characterizations of the tongue of the Nubian goat (Capra aegagrus hircus): A specialized focus on its papillary system adaptation to Egyptian environmental conditions

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe current investigation was focused on describing the gross and scanning electron features of the Nubian goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) tongue, with new insights into its papillary adaptation to the Egyptian environment. The elongated tongue had a rostral free and the caudal fixed. The ventral apical surface is classified into the smaller rostral papillary region on the tip and the larger non‐papillary region by the U‐line of filiform papillae. Functionally, there are two papillary types: mechanical (filiform, conical and lentiform in addition to the longitudinal row of large conical papilla on the lateral of the body) and gustatory (fungiform and circumvallate). Filiform papillae were densely distributed on the dorsal surface of the apex and body, and on the lateral apical border and lateral surface of the body and root, in addition to the ventral surface of the tip. This filiform papillary system gives a raspy appearance to the dorsal surface. The conical and lentiform papillae were limited to the torus linguae. Circumvallate papillae are surrounded by an annular groove and slightly vallum. The lingual root was devoid of any papillae. Lingual papillary subtypes are filiform papillae (elongated and triangular), conical papillae (elongated and oval) and fungiform papillae (round and ovoid). The investigated Nubian goat may have developed a specialized papillary system due to regional differences in the distribution, structure and subtypes of the system, allowing it to adapt to the dried grasses and leaves of trees and bushes that are available in Upper Egypt's dry, hot climate.
Paracetamol use in pregnancy: Not as safe as we may think?
Authors: Nilsen Katinka , Staff Anne Cathrine , Krogsrud Stine Kleppe 
Published: March 2023

AbstractParacetamol is used by more than 50% of women worldwide during pregnancy; headache representing the most frequent indication. Several studies report that long‐term exposure to paracetamol in utero is associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in children, indicating a dose–response effect. However, less or no risk is found to be associated with short‐term exposure. Paracetamol most likely crosses the placenta through passive diffusion, and there are several possible mechanisms for how paracetamol might affect fetal brain development. Although the literature suggests an association between prenatal paracetamol exposure and neurodevelopmental outcomes, the role of confounders cannot be ruled out. Consequently, as a precaution, we believe that pregnant women should be recommended ideally to only use paracetamol to treat conditions that might harm the fetus, such as severe pain or a high fever. This Comment aims to put focus on the potential fetal risks of paracetamol exposure in utero.
Paradoxical decrease of imitation performance with age in children

Published: March 2023

AbstractImitation development was studied in a cross‐sectional design involving 174 primary‐school children (aged 6–10), focusing on the effect of actions' complexity and error analysis to infer the underlying cognitive processes. Participants had to imitate the model's actions as if they were in front of a mirror (‘specularly’). Complexity varied across three levels: movements of a single limb; arm and leg of the same body side; or arm and leg of opposite body sides. While the overall error rate decreased with age, this was not true of all error categories. The rate of ‘side’ errors (using a limb of the wrong body side) paradoxically increased with age (from 9 years). However, with increasing age, the error rate also became less sensitive to the complexity of the action. This pattern is consistent with the hypothesis that older children have the working memory (WM) resources and the body knowledge necessary to imitate ‘anatomically’, which leads to additional side errors. Younger children might be paradoxically free from such interference because their WM and/or body knowledge are insufficient for anatomical imitation. Yet, their limited WM resources would prevent them from successfully managing the conflict between spatial codes involved in complex actions (e.g. moving the left arm and the right leg). We also found evidence that action side and content might be stored in separate short‐term memory (STM) systems: increasing the number of sides to be encoded only affected side retrieval, but not content retrieval; symmetrically, increasing the content (number of movements) of the action only affected content retrieval, but not side retrieval. In conclusion, results suggest that anatomical imitation might interfere with specular imitation at age 9 and that STM storages for side and content of actions are separate.
Show me your friends, I'll tell you your emotions: Emotional fit of immigrant‐origin minority youth in cross‐cultural friendship networks

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe typical emotional responses to certain types of situations differ across cultures. Being reprimanded by your teacher in front of the class may be cause for anger and indignation among pupils in one cultural context, but for anger, shame, and possibly respect for the teacher among pupils in another cultural context. The consequence for immigrant‐origin minorities is that they may not fit the emotions of the majority culture. Previous research has found that minorities who have majority contact have higher emotional fit with the majority culture. In the current study, we suggest thatfriendships with majority peersare particularly important to minorities' emotional fit. Students (945 minority and 1256 majority) from a representative sample of Belgian middle schools completed a sociometric questionnaire on their classroom friendships and rated their emotional experiences in two situations. Multilevel models yielded higher levels of emotional fit for minority youth with many (vs. few) majority friends as well as for minorities whose majority friends are connected (vs. less connected) to each other, or who are well‐connected in the majority peer network. Having majority friends predicted emotional fit over and above majority contact in general.
