The development of a competence framework for artificial intelligence professionals using probabilistic topic modelling
Authors: Brauner Sonja , Murawski Matthias , Bick Markus 
Published: March 2023

PurposeThe current gap between the required and available artificial intelligence (AI) professionals poses significant challenges for organisations and academia. Organisations are challenged to identify and secure the appropriate AI competencies. Simultaneously, academia is challenged to design, offer and quickly scale academic programmes in line with industry needs and train new generations of AI professionals. Therefore, identifying and structuring AI competencies is necessary to effectively overcome the AI competence shortage.Design/methodology/approachA probabilistic topic model was applied to explore the AI competence categories empirically. The authors analysed 1159 AI-related online job ads published on LinkedIn.FindingsThe authors identified five predominant competence categories: (1) Data Science, (2) AI Software Development, (3) AI Product Development and Management, (4) AI Client Servicing, and (5) AI Research. These five competence categories were summarised under the developed AI competence framework.Originality/valueThe AI competence framework contributes to clarifying and structuring the diverse AI landscape. These findings have the potential to aid various stakeholders involved in the process of training, recruiting and selecting AI professionals. They may guide organisations in constructing a complementary portfolio of AI competencies by helping users match the right competence requirements with an organisation's needs and business objectives. Similarly, they can support academia in designing academic programmes aligned with industry needs. Furthermore, while focusing on AI, this study contributes to the research stream of information technology (IT) competencies.
Inflation in Iran: an empirical assessment of the key determinants
Authors: Hemmati Maryam , Tabrizy Saleh S. , Tarverdi Yashar 
Published: March 2023

PurposeTo study the key determinants of chronically high inflation in Iran.Design/methodology/approachRelying on annual data from 1978 to 2019, the authors employ an Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and Error Correction Model (ECM) to study the inflationary effects of monetary and fiscal policies as well as exchange rate swings and sanctions intensification.FindingsThe authors find that increase in money supply, depreciation of nominal exchange rate, increase in fiscal deficit and intensification of sanctions are among the key drivers of inflation in Iran. Their impact is profound in the long run, but in the short run only money supply and currency depreciation are significant. Also, when exploring the inflation in different components of Consumer Price Index (CPI), we find robust long- and short-run effects from money supply and exchange rate, while the effects of fiscal deficit and sanctions vary across different components.Originality/valueThe authors contribute to the literature by setting apart the long-vs short-run effects of key variables on inflation in Iran. The authors also employ improved measures of fiscal deficit and sanctions that are shown to be of significance in the long run. Lastly, the authors go beyond the aggregate index and examine the variations in different CPI components.
Rethinking research methods in protracted violent conflicts in Mozambique: fieldwork in complex emergencies
Authors: Chirambwi Kudakwashe 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
This paper argues for the need to use multiple sources and methods that respond to research challenges presented by new forms of war. There are methodological constraints and contention on the superiority given to positivist and interpretivist research designs when doing fieldwork in war situations, hence there is a need to use integrated data generation techniques. The combined effect of severe limitations of movement for both the researcher and researched fragmented data because of polarized views about the causes of the war and unpredictable events that make information hard to come by militate against systematic, organised and robust data generation. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to make fieldwork researchers understand significant research problems unique to war zones.

Design/methodology/approach
This research was guided by the postmodernist mode of thought which challenges standardised research traditions. Fieldwork experiences in Cabo suggest the need to use the composite strategies that rely on the theoretical foundation of integrative and creative collection of data when doing research in violent settings.

Findings
The fieldwork experiences showed that the standardised, conventional and valorised positivist and ethnographic research strategies may not sufficiently facilitate understanding of the dynamics of war. There should not be firm rules, guidelines or regulations governing the actions of the researcher in conflict. As such, doing research in violent settings require reflexivity, flexibility and creativity in research strategies that respond to rapid changes. Research experiences in Mozambique show the need to use blended methods that include even less structured methodologies.

Originality/value
Fieldwork experiences in Cabo challenges researchers who cling to standardised research traditions which often hamper awareness of new postmodernist mode of thought applicable to war settings. It is essential to study the nature of African armed conflicts by combining creativity and flexibility in the selection of research strategies.
From empowering leadership to proactive work behavior in hospitality: a study of multiple cross-level mediation processes
Authors: Wang Chung-Jen 
Published: March 2023

PurposeOn the basis of the hierarchical organizational structure, this study investigated how empowering leadership influences hotel employees' proactive work behavior through multiple cross-level mediation processes. This study also investigated whether psychological empowerment, positive psychological capital, job characteristics and job embeddedness can activate the linkage of the aforementioned trickle-down effects.Design/methodology/approachThis study draws data from 826 international tourist hotel employees at different times with hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) analyses.FindingsMultiple cross-level mediation analyses indicate that (1) psychological empowerment mediates the cross-level influences of empowering leadership on job characteristics and positive psychological capital; (2) positive psychological capital mediates the cross-level influences of empowering leadership on job embeddedness and proactive work behavior; and (3) job embeddedness mediates the cross-level influences of psychological empowerment and job characteristics on proactive work behavior.Practical implicationsIn the post-pandemic era, the valuable trickle-down effects of empowering leadership could spill over into employees' positive beliefs of psychological empowerment, which ultimately benefit working responsibility and organizational operations.Originality/valueThe results support and suggest that maximizing the benefits of empowering leadership could eventually foster proactivity and performance in the workplace under hospitality and tourism settings.
Dynamic sustainable multiple-depot vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery in the context of the physical internet
Authors: Kantasa-ard Anirut , Chargui Tarik , Bekrar Abdelghani , AitElCadi Abdessamad , Sallez Yves 
Published: March 2023

PurposeThis paper proposes an approach to solve the vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (VRPSPD) in the context of the Physical Internet (PI) supply chain. The main objective is to minimize the total distribution costs (transportation cost and holding cost) to supply retailers from PI hubs.Design/methodology/approachMixed integer programming (MIP) is proposed to solve the problem in smaller instances. A random local search (RLS) algorithm and a simulated annealing (SA) metaheuristic are proposed to solve larger instances of the problem.FindingsThe results show that SA provides the best solution in terms of total distribution cost and provides a good result regarding holding cost and transportation cost compared to other heuristic methods. Moreover, in terms of total carbon emissions, the PI concept proposed a better solution than the classical supply chain.Research limitations/implicationsThe sustainability of the route construction applied to the PI is validated through carbon emissions.Practical implicationsThis approach also relates to the main objectives of transportation in the PI context: reduce empty trips and share transportation resources between PI-hubs and retailers. The proposed approaches are then validated through a case study of agricultural products in Thailand. Social implicationsThis approach is also relevant with the reduction of driving hours on the road because of share transportation results and shorter distance than the classical route planning.Originality/valueThis paper addresses the VRPSPD problem in the PI context, which is based on sharing transportation and storage resources while considering sustainability.
The effect of perceived usefulness of recommender systems and information sources on purchase intention
Authors: Mican Daniel , Sitar-Taut Dan-Andrei 
Published: March 2023

PurposeThe current study aims to empirically analyze the influence of different information sources, together with the persuasiveness of recommender systems (RSs) on the consumer’s purchase intention (PI). It also expands the research on RSs from the point of view of consumer behavior and psychology, considering perceived usefulness and relevance. In addition, it analyzes how different types of personalized recommendations, along with non-personalized ones, influence PI.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed model has been validated using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), based on the data collected from 597 online shoppers.FindingsThis study proves that both information search and RSs influence PI, being complementary rather than mutually exclusive. Recommender systems’ findings indicate that the PI is primarily influenced by the perceived relevance of RSs, the information provided by manufacturers and reviews. Moreover, only the influence of the perceived usefulness of personalized recommendations strongly affects PI. Conversely, non-personalized recommendations do not affect PI.Practical implicationsDevelopers should focus on increasing the perceived usefulness and relevance of RSs. Thus, they could adopt the hybridization of RSs with the aggregation of both personal shopping behavior and social network contacts. It should integrate information signals from multiple sources to include sentiment extracted from reviews or links to the manufacturer’s page. Furthermore, the recommendation of discounted products must be only for products preferred by customers, because only these influence the PI.Originality/valueThis research provides a structural model that examines together, for the first time, the influence on the PI of the main RSs and sources of information.
Accounting theory, ethnography, and the silence of the social
Authors: Vollmer Hendrik 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to offer a reflection on the alliance between accounting theory and social research in general, focussing on the conjunction of accounting theory and ethnography in particular.

Design/methodology/approach
The author builds on Stefan Hirschauer’s methodological reflections on ethnography and the “silence of the social” to briefly re-articulate some of the ideas the author had associated, in an earlier piece, with the investigation of tacit coordination in accounting.

Findings
Ethnography is an intrinsically theoretical practice and also a particular form of accounting. As such, it presents a paradigm case for how accounting theory builds on, and emerges from, social research in joint efforts of breaking the silence of the social. Ethnographic research, like the practice of accounting and social research more generally, is associated with a stewardship of silence and an “ethics of mattering” (Karen Barad), and accounting theory is an invitation to reflect on the underlying practices of (dis-)articulation.

Originality/value
The paper invites readers to engage with accounting practice as a topic of systematic theoretical interest in exploring how we put the world on the record, understand the choices we make in the process and the silences we let lie.

Authors: Eidi Amin , Shamsi Mousa , Badri Ghavifekr Habib 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to a novel fabricated resonator structure which consists of some single mechanical resonators as a mass sensor.

Design/methodology/approach
The structure is proposed to detect the target molecules and cells in a droplet. Also, at this design the mechanical coupling springs of the proposed structure are designed in such a way that it resonates in shear resonance mode which minimizes the damping effect.

Findings
This proposed design can be fabricated in different sizes due to the requirements of an application.

Originality/value
The proposed design is fabricated in mesoscale and its mass sensitivity is evaluated and reported in this paper.
Customer values and patronage intention in social media networks: mediating role of perceived usefulness
Authors: Doshi Parinda , Nigam Priti , Rishi Bikramjit 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to validates a framework using the Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT) to study the effect of values, i.e. Functional Value (FV), Social Value (SV), Emotional Value (EV) and Monetary Value (MV), on the Patronage Intention (PI) of Social Network Users (SNU’s) with mediating role of Perceived Usefulness (PU).

Design/methodology/approach
A survey method was used to collect responses from 302 SNUs, and the variance-based structural equation method was used to understand the relationships among the constructs.

Findings
The results found a significant positive effect of FV and EV on Perceived Usefulness (PU) and MV and PU on Patronage intention (PI) of SNUs. Further, PU partially mediated the relationship of EV with PI.

Originality/value
This study used the UGT to understand the effect of values on the PI of SNUs. This research study contributes to the existing social networks/social media literature.

Published: March 2023

AbstractHepatitis B virus (HBV) is a leading cause of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Current therapeutic drugs for chronic HBV infection use IFN and nucleos(t)ide analogs; however, their efficacy is limited. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop new antivirals for HBV therapy. In this study, we identified a plant‐derived polyphenolic bioflavonoid, amentoflavone, as a new anti‐HBV compound. Amentoflavone treatment dose‐dependently inhibited HBV infection in HBV‐susceptible cells with HepG2‐hNTCP‐C4 and primary human hepatocyte PXB‐cells. A mode‐of‐action study showed that amentoflavone inhibits the viral entry step, but not the viral internalization and early replication processes. Attachment of HBV particles as well as HBV preS1 peptide to HepG2‐hNTCP‐C4 cells was inhibited by amentoflavone. The transporter assay revealed that amentoflavone partly inhibits uptake of sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP)–mediated bile acid. Furthermore, effect of various amentoflavone analogs on HBs and HBe production from HBV‐infected HepG2‐hNTCP‐C4 cells was examined. Robustaflavone exhibited comparable anti‐HBV activity to that of amentoflavone and an amentoflavone‐7,4', 4‴‐trimethyl ether derivative (sciadopitysin) with moderate anti‐HBV activity. Cupressuflavone or the monomeric flavonoid apigenin did not exhibit the antiviral activity. Amentoflavone and its structurally related biflavonoids may provide a potential drug scaffold in the design of a new anti‐HBV drug inhibitor targeting NTCP.

Changing climate law and governance: A multi‐level perspective
Authors: Preston Brian J. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractAddressing the climate crisis involves changing climate law and governance. Climate litigation can facilitate this change. How and why does change occur? A multilevel perspective can assist in answering these questions. There are three levels: niches, regimes and landscapes. Actors in the protected spaces of niches develop ideas and legal arguments in climate litigation. Through a process characterised by the phases of emergence, diffusion, adaptation and cumulation, the ideas and arguments are incorporated by domestic courts' decisions into the law of the land. This process is facilitated by exogenous developments at the landscape level. The changing climate and the changing responses of the international community and international law exert contextual pressure on domestic courts' decision‐making. The combined pressures from the niche and landscape levels create tensions in the regime, making it receptive to incorporate the novel ideas and arguments and change climate law and governance. Other actors in the regime respond to this change in the law. The legislature and executive, the private sector and legal profession, adjust their behaviours accordingly. In sum, there is regime change. This process of change is illustrated using the ideas and arguments of inter‐ and intra‐ generational equity.
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma cured by a combination of high‐frequency snare and photodynamic therapy: A case report
Authors: Tamura Kentaro , Uchimura Keigo , Furuse Hideaki , Imabayashi Tatsuya , Matsumoto Yuji , Tsuchida Takaaki 
Published: March 2023

AbstractMucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a rare salivary gland tumor, accounting for 0.2% of all lung tumors. The standard treatment for MEC of the primary bronchus is surgery, although intraluminal bronchoscopic treatment has recently become an option. A 68‐year‐old man presented with an asymptomatic bronchial tumor in the right intermediate bronchus. The tumor was resected using a high‐frequency snare (HFS) during bronchoscopy, and the specimen was pathologically diagnosed as low‐grade MEC. A residual lesion was detected in the resected area by autofluorescence imaging. The tumor appeared to be localized within the subepithelial layer without metastases, and photodynamic therapy (PDT) was performed as a local treatment. The patient had no recurrence for 18 months. PDT is effective and safe for patients with centrally located early‐stage lung cancer, but there are few reports of its use for rare tumors, such as MEC. In this case, PDT allowed for local control and avoided surgery, including bronchoplasty, for MEC. Combined treatment of tumor reduction by HFS and PDT of the residual lesion may be an optimal treatment for MEC of the bronchus.

AbstractBackgroundPatients with severe asthma may present with characteristics representing overlapping phenotypes, making them eligible for more than one class of biologic. Our aim was to describe the profile of adult patients with severe asthma eligible for both anti‐IgE and anti‐IL5/5R and to compare the effectiveness of both classes of treatment in real life.MethodsThis was a prospective cohort study that included adult patients with severe asthma from 22 countries enrolled into the International Severe Asthma registry (ISAR) who were eligible for both anti‐IgE and anti‐IL5/5R. The effectiveness of anti‐IgE and anti‐IL5/5R was compared in a 1:1 matched cohort. Exacerbation rate was the primary effectiveness endpoint. Secondary endpoints included long‐term‐oral corticosteroid (LTOCS) use, asthma‐related emergency room (ER) attendance, and hospital admissions.ResultsIn the matched analysis (n = 350/group), the mean annualized exacerbation rate decreased by 47.1% in the anti‐IL5/5R group and 38.7% in the anti‐IgE group. Patients treated with anti‐IL5/5R were less likely to experience a future exacerbation (adjusted IRR 0.76; 95% CI 0.64, 0.89; p < 0.001) and experienced a greater reduction in mean LTOCS dose than those treated with anti‐IgE (37.44% vs. 20.55% reduction; p = 0.023). There was some evidence to suggest that patients treated with anti‐IL5/5R experienced fewer asthma‐related hospitalizations (IRR 0.64; 95% CI 0.38, 1.08), but not ER visits (IRR 0.94, 95% CI 0.61, 1.43).ConclusionsIn real life, both anti‐IgE and anti‐IL5/5R improve asthma outcomes in patients eligible for both biologic classes; however, anti‐IL5/5R was superior in terms of reducing asthma exacerbations and LTOCS use.
