The impact of corruption on companies' engagement in sustainability reporting practices: an empirical examination
Authors: Cicchiello Antonella Francesca , Kazemikhasragh Amirreza , Perdichizzi Salvatore , Rey Andrea 
Published: May 2023

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate whether the perceived level of corruption influences companies' decision to address principles and standards aimed, inter alia, at fighting corruption [i.e. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), (2) United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), (3) International Standards Organisation (ISO) 26,000 and (4) Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines] in companies' sustainability reporting.Design/methodology/approachThe paper uses a sample of 1,171 sustainability reports published in the year 2017 by organisations from Asia and Africa's low- and middle-income countries.FindingsResults from the Probit model reveal that corruption negatively affects corporate sustainability reporting activity. Indeed, the more companies are exposed to high levels of corruption, the less likely they appear to engage in sustainability reporting. Furthermore, the authors find clear regional and sector-level differences in the extent to which companies engage in sustainability reporting. The results show that Asian companies operating in the agricultural and financial services sectors exhibit significantly higher reporting activity, whilst those operating in the construction and mining sectors report less than the sectors' peers.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors' findings provide important implications for understanding companies' behaviour in the sustainability reporting in emerging economies as well as for designing corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure initiatives in the future.Originality/valueThis paper provides a better understanding of the impact of corruption on companies' reporting behaviour in the context of emerging economies.

Authors: Bondarenko Olha , Utkina Maryna 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is the characteristics of the issue of legal responsibility for the smuggling of goods under the conditions of martial lawin Ukraine.

Design/methodology/approach
In the paper’s writing, the authors used an interdisciplinary approach, combining legal science and economics methods.

Findings
The detection and cessation of smuggling is currently a vital activity of customs authorities in the sphere of ensuring the financial and economic security of the state and a prerequisite for the stable development of market relations in Ukraine. At the same time, the lack of adequate legal responsibility for smuggling goods and the limited powers of customs authorities increased the facts of the smuggling of goods. This determines the importance of finding innovative principles of legal responsibility for smuggling goods under martial law conditions in Ukraine.

Originality/value
The paper aims to develop innovative principles of legal responsibility for smuggling goods under martial law in Ukraine.
Efficiency of zakat institutions in Indonesia: data envelopment analysis (DEA) vs free disposal hull (FDH) vs super-efficiency DEA
Authors: Ryandono Muhamad Nafik Hadi , Widiastuti Tika , Cahyono Eko Fajar , Filianti Dian , Qulub A. Syifaul , Al Mustofa Muhammad Ubaidillah 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
Zakat is an important Islamic economic instrument that plays significant role in Sustainable Development Goals. Accordingly, Zakat Institutions must manage zakat in a proper and efficient manner. This study aims to examine the efficiency of Zakat Institutions based on their clusters which are government, business and social organizations.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses three quantitative methods: data envelopment analysis (DEA), free disposal hull and super-efficiency DEA. The analytical method is based on production approach, variable return to scale assumption and output orientation. The sample consists of 14 Zakat Institutions from three clusters: Zakat Institutions managed by government, Zakat Institutions managed by corporation and Zakat Institution managed by social organizations.

Findings
The results revealed that all of three techniques culminate the same ranking order of efficiency. Zakat Institution managed by the government is the most efficient Zakat Institution, with the average value of 0.87 by using three approaches combined. Meanwhile, Zakat Institutions owned by company and social institutions cluster are in second and third position, with the average value of 0.65 and 0.4, respectively, based on the results of the three approaches. This study contends that the level of efficiency of Zakat Institutions may be supported by clusters (affiliations) in their management.

Research limitations/implications
This study’s limitation is the inadequacy of the required data. Nonetheless, this study provides insights to improve the efficiency of Zakat Institutions based on their clusters. Zakat Institutions in each cluster can improve their efficiency by optimizing inputs to produce multiple outputs.

Originality/value
This study enhances research on the efficiency of Zakat Institutions using three methods to assess the consistency and strength of Zakat Institutions’ efficiency values. In addition, this study examines the efficiency level of Zakat Institutions based on their clusters.
Determinants of technological and non-technological innovation: empirical insights from Indian manufacturing industries
Authors: Kanojia Paras , Singh Gurcharan 
Published: May 2023

PurposeThis paper empirically explored the influence of external and internal factors on technological and non-technological innovation of 5747 Indian firms. The study also explored novel insights about manufacturing firms by segregating them into high-technology and low-technology industries.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed hierarchical regression analysis to analyse a cross-sectional dataset gathered from the World Bank enterprise survey. The firms are segregated into high-technology and low-technology industries based on the technology-intensity classification of the manufacturing industry given by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.FindingsThe main results highlight that technological and non-technological innovation was primarily driven by internal resources and capabilities rather than external factors. The authors found the highest effect of research and development spending on both forms of innovation. In both high-tech and low-tech industries, technology transfer is positively associated with technological innovation and negatively associated with non-technological innovation. Furthermore, external business support has substantially influenced non-technological innovation in low-tech industries.Originality/valueThis study used two-step hierarchical regression to explore the influence of external and internal factors on technological and non-technological innovation separately. Exploring determinants of innovation in high-technology and low-technology industries also brings the distinct prerequisites of enhancing innovation to the attention of policymakers and industry experts.
Building on job immobility concepts: a conceptual model and future research agenda on “locked at the job”
Authors: Feenstra-Verschure Merel T. , Kooij Dorien , Freese Charissa , van der Velde Mandy , Lysova Evgenia I. 
Published: May 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to conceptualize job immobility concepts, e.g. staying in an unsatisfying job and perceiving limited opportunities to move and apply for another job. The existing literature on this situation of job immobility in which the employee is experiencing stuckness in the job is scattered across research domains, limited in scope and existing constructs are not clearly defined or operationalized.Design/methodology/approachIn this conceptual paper, the authors propose the construct “locked at the job,” by reviewing and building on the job immobility literature and the theory of control and self-regulation.FindingsThis study defines the concept that consists of two dimensions as feeling dissatisfied in the current job and inactivity due to perceived limited job opportunities. This study proposes a conceptual model of antecedents and consequences of locked at the job, based on the person-environment fit theory.Practical implicationsThis conceptual paper allows value to be added in practice by the conceptualization of locked at the job, in addition to providing a preview with respect to conceptual causes and consequences of this phenomenon.Originality/valueResearch on this job immobility phenomenon is scattered across different research domains, limited in scope and the concept has not been clearly defined or operationalized.

On estimating Armington elasticities for Japan's meat imports
Authors: Nakano Satoshi , Nishimura Kazuhiko 
Published: May 2023

AbstractBy fully accounting for the distinct tariff regimes levied on imported meat, we estimate substitution elasticities of Japan's two‐stage import aggregation functions for beef, chicken and pork. Although the regression analysis crucially depends on the price that consumers face, the post‐tariff price of imported meat depends not only on ad valorem duties but also on tariff rate quotas and gate price system regimes. The effective tariff rate is consequently evaluated by utilising monthly transaction data. To address potential endogeneity problems, we apply exchange rates that we believe to be independent of the demand shocks for imported meat. The panel nature of the data allows us to retrieve the first‐stage aggregates via time dummy variables, free of demand shocks, to be used as part of the explanatory variable and as an instrument in the second‐stage regression.
Improvements in recovery capital are associated with decreased alcohol use in a primary opioid use disorder treatment‐seeking cohort
Authors: Bormann Nicholas L. , Weber Andrea N. , Arndt Stephan , Lynch Alison 
Published: May 2023

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesComorbid substance use can negatively impact multiple aspects of treatment for patients with an opioid use disorder (OUD). We investigated if treatment for OUD led to improvements in patients' recovery capital (RC) overtime, and whether there were associated changes in co‐occurring alcohol use.MethodsParticipants (n = 133) were patients with OUD seeking outpatient treatment, who completed the Assessment of Recovery Capital (ARC) and reported drinking days per 30‐day period thrice over the 6‐month study. No specific treatments targeting alcohol were used. Two different models were employed to assess changes in total ARC score and adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for past 30‐day abstinence.ResultsBaseline mean ARC scores were 36.6 and significantly increased to mean score of 41.2 at study end. Ninety‐one participants (68.4%) reported no alcohol use at baseline, and 97 (78.9%) reported no use in the previous 30 days at study endpoint. For each increase in ARC, there was an aOR 1.07 (confidence interval [CI]: 1.02–1.13) for past 30‐day abstinence. Considering ARC standard deviation of 10.33 over all measurements, this equates to an aOR of 2.10 (CI: 1.22–3.62) for past 30‐day abstinence.Discussion and ConclusionsWe saw significantly increased aOR for past 30‐day abstinence as RC improved in an OUD treatment‐seeking population. This difference was not caused by differences in ARC between study completers and noncompleters.Scientific SignificanceShowcases how RC growth may be protective of past 30‐day alcohol use in an OUD cohort and adds specific aOR for abstinence per ARC increase.

Published: May 2023

AbstractIntroductionThe ideal method for urinary diversion following total pelvic exenteration (TPE) remains unclear. This study compares the outcomes of double‐barrelled uro‐colostomy (DBUC) and ileal conduit (IC) in a single Australian centre.MethodsAll consecutive patients who underwent pelvic exenteration with the formation of either a DBUC or an IC between 2008 and November 2022 were identified from the prospective database from the Royal Adelaide Hospital and St. Andrews Hospital. Demographic, operative characteristics, general perioperative, long‐term urological and other relevant surgical complications were compared via univariate analyses.ResultsOf 135 patients undergoing exenteration, 39 patients were eligible for inclusion: 16 patients with a DBUC, and 23 patients with an IC. More patients in the DBUC group had previous radiotherapy (93.8% vs. 65.2%, P = 0.056) and flap pelvic reconstruction (93.7% vs. 45.5%, P = 0.002). The rate of ureteric stricture trended higher in the DBUC group (25.0% vs. 8.7%, P = 0.21), but in contrast, urine leak (6.3% vs. 8.7%, P>0.999), urosepsis (43.8% vs. 60.9%, P = 0.29), anastomotic leak (0.0% vs. 4.3%, P>0.999), and stomal complications requiring repair (6.3% vs. 13.0%, P = 0.63) trended lower. These differences were not statistically significant. Rates of grade III or greater complications were similar; however, no patients in the DBUC group died within 30‐days or had grade IV complications requiring ICU admission compared with two deaths and one grade IV complication in the IC group.ConclusionDBUC is a safe alternative to IC for urinary diversion following TPE, with potentially fewer complications. Quality of life and patient‐reported outcomes are required.

Authors: Lee Brendon W. H. , Samarawickrama Chameen 
Published: May 2023

AbstractBackgroundTo examine the epidemiology, visual outcomes, surgical interventions, and socioeconomic costs of closed globe (CGI) and adnexal injuries.MethodsA retrospective 11‐year tertiary‐trauma centre study of 529 consecutive CGI was conducted using the Revised Globe and Adnexal Trauma Terminology classification in individuals aged ≥16 years. Outcome measures included best‐corrected visual acuity (BCVA), operating theatre visits, and socioeconomic costs.ResultsCGI disproportionately impacted young males during work (89.1%) and sports (92.2%), with eye protection only worn in 11.9% and 2.0%, respectively. Home was the most prevalent location (32.5%) due to falls (52.3%) in older females (57.9%). Concomitant adnexal injuries occurred frequently (71.5%), particularly in assaults (88.1%), and included eyelid lacerations (20.8%), orbital injuries (12.5%), and facial fractures (10.2%). Final median BCVA improved to 0.2 logMAR [6/9] (IQR 0–0.2) from 0.5 logMAR [6/18] (IQR 0–0.5) (p < 0.001). Surgery was required in 89 CGI (16.8%) in 123 theatre visits. In multivariable logistical regression modelling, presenting BCVA was predictive of final BCVA (odds ratio [OR] 8.4, 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 2.6–27.8, p < 0.001), while involvement of the lids (OR 2.6, 95%CI 1.3–5.3, p = 0.006), nasolacrimal apparatus (OR 74.9, 95%CI 7.9–707.4, p < 0.001), orbit (OR 5.0, 95%CI 2.2–11.2, p < 0.001), and lens (OR 8.4, 95%CI 2.4–29.7, p < 0.001) predicted for operating theatre visits. Economic costs totalled AUD20.8–32.1 million (USD16.2–25.0 million) and were estimated at AUD44.5–77.0 million (USD34.7–60.1 million) annually for Australia.ConclusionsCGI is a prevalent and preventable burden on patients and the economy. To mitigate this burden, cost‐effective public health strategies should target at‐risk populations.
Orlistat mouth rinse: Using the tongue to deliver antiobesity medication in a double‐blind randomized crossover pilot trial
Authors: Primeaux Stefany D. , Dubin Robert , Greenway Frank L. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractAimTo investigate the effects of an orlistat mouth rinse on the intake of a high‐fat meal.MethodsA double‐blind, balanced order, crossover study was conducted in participants (n = 10, body mass index 25‐30 kg/m2) assigned to receive placebo or orlistat (24 mg/mL) prior to a high‐fat meal. Participants were divided into low‐ or high‐fat consumers based on calories consumed from fat following placebo administration.ResultsThe orlistat mouth rinse decreased total and fat calories consumed during the high‐fat meal in high‐fat consumers, and did not alter calories consumed in low‐fat consumers (P < 0.05).ConclusionsOrlistat decreases long‐chain fatty acid (LCFA) absorption by inhibiting lipases that breakdown triglycerides. Orlistat mouth rinse decreased fat intake in high‐fat consumers, suggesting that orlistat inhibited the detection of LCFAs from the high‐fat test meal. Lingual delivery of orlistat is predicted to eliminate the risk of oil incontinence and promote weight loss in individuals who prefer fat.

AbstractObjectiveFocal epilepsy is thought to be a network disease, in which epileptiform activity can spread noncontiguously through the brain via highly interconnected nodes, or hubs, within existing networks. Animal models confirming this hypothesis are scarce, and our understanding of how distant nodes are recruited is also lacking. Whether interictal spikes (IISs) also create and reverberate through a network is not well understood.MethodsWe injected bicuculline into the S1 barrel cortex and employed multisite local field potential and Thy‐1 and parvalbumin (PV) cell mesoscopic calcium imaging during IISs to monitor excitatory and inhibitory cells in two monosynaptically connected nodes and one disynaptically connected node: ipsilateral secondary motor area (iM2), contralateral S1 (cS1), and contralateral secondary motor area (cM2). Node participation was analyzed with spike‐triggered coactivity maps. Experiments were repeated with 4‐aminopyridine as an epileptic agent.ResultsWe found that each IIS reverberated throughout the network, differentially recruiting both excitatory and inhibitory cells in all connected nodes. The strongest response was found in iM2. Paradoxically, node cM2, which was connected disynaptically to the focus, was recruited more intensely than node cS1, which was connected monosynaptically. The explanation for this effect could be found in node‐specific excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) balance, as cS1 demonstrated greater PV inhibitory cell activation compared with cM2, where Thy‐1 excitatory cells were more heavily recruited.SignificanceOur data show that IISs spread noncontiguously by exploiting fiber pathways that connect nodes in a distributed network and that E/I balance plays a critical role in node recruitment. This multinodal IIS network model can be used to investigate cell‐specific dynamics in the spatial propagation of epileptiform activity.
Cancer survival stories: Perception, creation, and potential use case
Authors: Canella Claudia , Inderbitzin Martin , Oehler Manuela , Witt Claudia M. , Barth Jürgen 
Published: May 2023

AbstractBackgroundCancer patients often search for information about their health conditions online. Cancer patient narratives have established themselves as a way of providing information and education but also as an effective approach to improving coping with the disease.ObjectiveWe investigated how people affected by cancer perceive cancer patient narratives and whether such stories can potentially improve coping during their own cancer journeys. Additionally, we reflected on whether our co‐creative citizen science approach can contribute to gaining knowledge about cancer survival stories and providing peer support.Design, Setting and StakeholdersWe applied a co‐creative citizen science approach by using quantitative and qualitative research methods with stakeholders (i.e., cancer patients, their relatives, friends and health professionals).Main Outcome MeasuresUnderstandability and perceived benefits of cancer survival stories, coping, emotional reactions to the stories and helpful characteristics of the stories.ResultsCancer survival stories were considered intelligible and beneficial, and they potentially support positive emotions and coping in people affected by cancer. Together with the stakeholders, we identified four main characteristics that evoked positive emotions and that were considered especially helpful: (1) positive attitudes towards life, (2) encouraging cancer journeys, (3) individual coping strategies for everyday challenges and (4) openly shared vulnerabilities.ConclusionsCancer survival stories potentially support positive emotions and coping in people affected by cancer. A citizen science approach is suitable for identifying relevant characteristics of cancer survival stories and may become a helpful educational peer support resource for people coping with cancer.Patient or Public ContributionsWe adopted a co‐creative citizen science approach, wherein citizens and researchers were equally involved throughout the entire project.
