Exploring Abelian–non-Abelian kinetic mixing in SMEFT and beyond
Authors: Tran Van Que , Yuan Tzu-Chiang 
Published: January 2025

We explore a novel scenario involving Abelian–non-Abelian kinetic mixing within the framework of the Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT) and its extension with a real triplet scalar field. In SMEFT, this mixing arises exclusively from a dimension-6 operator involving the Standard Model Higgs doublet, while the real triplet scalar field introduces an additional dimension-5 operator. We derive the modifications to electroweak gauge boson properties and impose constraints using electroweak precision data. In SMEFT, we find that Z-pole data at the Large Electron–Positron Collider imposes a stringent constraint on the kinetic mixing parameter, requiring it to be less than O(10−4), which corresponds to a new physics scale of about 10 TeV. In the SMEFT+triplet scenario, the constraint can be significantly relaxed with a sizeable triplet vacuum expectation value while preserving custodial symmetry in a finely tuned parameter space. Future measurements from the Circular Electron Positron Collider could probe the kinetic mixing parameter down to an order of magnitude smaller. Constraints from the Higgs signal strength data, Bs→μ+μ−, and muon (g−2) are also discussed.

How do digital ­oriented firms perform superior environmental performance? A natural resource ­based view
Authors: Zhang Qianjun , Ouyang You , Li Lixu 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
A global industrial revolution driven by carbon neutrality and digital technologies (DTs) is fast gaining momentum. However, the present understanding of how firms should leverage digitalization for sustainability is underdeveloped. This paper aims to explore how digital orientation can improve environmental performance from the natural resource-based view.

Design/methodology/approach
Using a sample set of 132 Chinese firms, the authors adopt the hierarchical regression analysis and bootstrap approach to examine the hypotheses.

Findings
The empirical results show that green DT usage, green DT disposal and green practices-DT fit are three factors that mediate the positive relationship between digital orientation and environmental performance. In addition, of the five possible mediational paths, only the serial mediation of green DT usage and green practices-DT fit, as well as the serial mediation of green DT disposal and green practices-DT fit, show significant effects.

Originality/value
The authors contribute to the current digitalization and sustainability literature by demonstrating the processes through which digital orientation influences environmental performance. The study also provides managerial implications for firms to adjust their operations.

Gamers’ gratifications and continuous intention to play eSports: the mediating role of gamers’ satisfaction-a PLS-SEM and NCA study
Authors: Fayyaz Muhammad Shahzeb , Abbasi Amir Zaib , Ahmad Rehan , Qummar Muhammad Hamza , Tsiotsou Rodoula H. , Mahmood Saqib 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the relationship between different hedonic (e.g. enjoyment and escapism) and utilitarian (e.g. achievement and challenge) gratifications and continuous intention to play eSports, considering the mediating role of gamer’s satisfaction. Uses and Gratification theory (U&G) has been employed as the study’s theoretical framework.Design/methodology/approachThe present study used a survey research method and a self-administered questionnaire to collect the data. The data was gathered on-site from students of three universities in Pakistan’s Islamabad and Rawalpindi regions. Study respondents involved people from Gen Z and Gen Y aged between 18 to 25 and 26 to 40. A total of 401 responses were evaluated using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and necessary condition analysis (NCA).FindingsThe PLS-SEM findings evidence that eSports players’ hedonic (e.g. enjoyment and escapism) and utilitarian (e.g. challenge) gratification positively impact gamers’ satisfaction, which subsequently drives eSports gamers’ continuance intention behavior. Furthermore, gamers’ satisfaction positively mediated the relationship between gratifications (e.g. enjoyment and escapism refer to hedonic, whereas achievement and challenge represent utilitarian) and continuance intentions. NCA on eSports gamers’ satisfaction and continuance intention identified critical predictive factors. The analysis revealed that only enjoyment is necessary for predicting satisfaction. Interestingly, NCA results also indicated that enjoyment, achievement, escapism, challenge and satisfaction are all necessary for predicting eSports gamers’ continuance intention.Originality/valueThis study investigates the mediating role of eSports gamers’ satisfaction between gamers’ perceived gratifications (i.e. enjoyment, escapism, achievement, challenge) and their continuous intention to play in the Pakistani context. More importantly, we employ a multi-method approach (e.g. a combined approach of PLS-SEM with NCA) to determine the sufficient and necessary conditions of the outcome variable comprising satisfaction and continuous intention.

Authors: Ahmed Zeeshan , Khosa Mishal , Nguyen Nhat Tan , Kayode Ibikunle Afeez , Abbas Javaria , Akhtar Adeel 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
Recent literature in environmental management suggests that fostering employees’ innovative behaviour in green service is vital for enhancing the environmental sustainability of hospitality organizations. Despite this, few efforts have been made to understand how green entrepreneurial leadership (GEL) relates to green service innovative behaviour (GSIB). This study aims to examine whether GEL can promote GSIB among hospitality employees through the serial mediation of green learning orientation (GLO) and green knowledge acquisition (GKA) using the conservation of resources theory. The authors expect environmental dynamism to strengthen the relationship between GEL and employees’ GSIB, leveraging the resource-based view theory.

Design/methodology/approach
This study collected data through a multi-wave survey (four waves, two weeks apart) from 341 employees working in three-to-five-star hotels in Pakistan’s major cities. The authors used partial least squares structural equation modelling to evaluate the hypotheses proposed in the theoretical model.

Findings
The study revealed a significant relationship between GEL and employee GSIB, mediated by GLO and GKA. In addition, environmental dynamism strengthened the relationship of GEL with employee GSIB.

Originality/value
The research advances the literature on GEL in the hospitality sector by providing insights into the mediating and moderating processes that translate GEL into GSIB among hospitality employees. Moreover, the research provides important implications for hotels investing in green initiatives and looking for ways to foster employees’ GSIB.

Contagious viruses’ corollaries and deterioration of quality education in developing countries: an integrated model of artificial intelligence (AI) awareness and remote working
Authors: Zaheer Muhammad Asif , Anwar Tanveer Muhammad , Albeshr Mohamed , Manzoor Maryam , Khan Zoia 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This paper aims to provide the integrated model with artificial intelligence (AI) awareness for the betterment of the higher education system in crisis i.e. fear of contagious viruses (different kinds of flu, monkeypox, chickenpox, COVID-19, etc.) corollaries in developing nations where the quality of education depends on teachers’ commitment, stress and the turnover intention.

Design/methodology/approach
This empirical investigation employs a self-administered survey distributed among the faculty members within higher education institutions (HEIs) of the Punjab province and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Islamabad, Pakistan. The final sample of 622 faculty members was collected through convenience sampling, and structural equation modeling was performed with SmartPLS to assess the proposed model.

Findings
The study reveals that remote work significantly enhances organizational commitment while concurrently lowering the turnover intention. Conversely, perceived work stress negatively impacts organizational commitment but positively influences turnover intention. Organizational commitment partially mediates between perceived work stress and turnover intention but exhibited no mediation between remote work and turnover intention. Notably, fear of contagious viruses and AI awareness positively moderate and amplify both the perceived work stress with turnover intention and remote working with organizational commitment, respectively.

Research limitations/implications
The current study extends the AI-mediated social exchange theory (MET) by observing faculty members of HEIs in the context of remote working, perceived work stress, commitment, turnover intention, fear of contagious viruses and AI awareness. Moreover, the successful application of AI-MET extended the researcher’s understanding of quality education in crisis.

Practical implications
The study offers several contributions including applications of technical skills with AI awareness among faculty members to provide quality education for society’s welfare. Moreover, HEIs should arrange training programs for performance enhancement.

Originality/value
This research provided a quality-based model for HEIs for developing nations to deal with forthcoming calamities of contagious viruses and deliver quality education through remote working during lockdown. Nowadays, off-campus education during calamity situations has been an alternative to on-campus education. Therefore, HEIs must introduce AI awareness to increase the dedication of faculty members toward society’s welfare with the utilization of full effort.
Fluctuating asymmetry in ecological and environmental research: Quo vadis?
Authors: Kozlov Mikhail V. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Májeková et al. (2024) demonstrated that leaf fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is not a reliable indicator of stress. I broaden the perspective on the findings by these authors.

High prevalence of confirmation bias could explain why as much as 39% of 131 unique entries (plant species × stress type) in the database of published studies compiled by these authors showed the significant increase in FA with stress.

The use of blind methods should be considered obligatory for any study addressing environmental or genetic impacts on FA.

Both data and conclusions from FA‐related studies that did not report blinding should only be used when proof of negligible impact from confirmation bias can be provided.

It is essential that all measures taken against biases are described in each submitted manuscript, and that the need to check for these requirements is included in instructions for reviewers.

Research on the Communication and Governance of Negative Emotions in Major Emergencies Based on Data‐Information‐Intelligence‐Solution Theory
Authors: Wen ZhiQiang , Wang Fei 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThe era of micro‐communication introduces a complex new ecology in the online public opinion surrounding major emergencies. There is an urgent need to explore these new dynamics and develop scientific, reasonable governance strategies to protect public physical and mental health, and maintain social stability and unity. Using the ‘Data‐Information‐Intelligence‐Solution’ (DIIS) think‐tank theory, data was collected from eight different media platforms. An empirical analysis was conducted on ‘emotion, media, region, and group’ (Information). The ‘Driving Force‐State‐Response’ model was utilised to establish a risk assessment system for major emergency online public opinion (Intelligence), followed by the proposal of specific countermeasures and suggestions (Solution). The analysis revealed that anxiety accounts for 88.24% of the negative emotions during major emergencies. The most sought‐after information pertains to the event's development and related large industry groups. Media and event‐related accounts are highly followed, and there is a positive correlation between regional economic levels and anxiety levels. This comprehensive analysis underscores the importance of addressing public anxiety to alleviate negative emotions. The study provides scientific and reasonable strategies based on the DIIS think‐tank theory for government departments to manage the risks of online public opinion during major emergencies.
Macauba (Acrocomia ssp.) fruits: A comprehensive review of nutritional and phytochemical profiles, health benefits, and sustainable oil production
Authors: Sorita Guilherme Dallarmi , Favaro Simone Palma , Gambetta Rossano , Ambrosi Alan , Di Luccio Marco 
Published: January 2025

AbstractMacauba is an underexplored palm with significant potential for food‐grade vegetable oil production. Its fruits yield two distinct sources of oil, the pulp and the kernel, each with its unique composition, emerging as a potential vegetable oil source with high competitiveness with well‐established conventional oil sources. Besides the oil, macauba fruits are rich in essential nutrients, including proteins, minerals, vitamins, dietary fiber, and phytochemicals, with outstanding health benefits. Macauba processing generates valuable co‐products, including the epicarp, pulp and kernel cakes, and endocarp, which have considerable potential for enhancing the macauba production chain. This review explores the nutritional and phytochemical profile of macauba, its health benefits, and the potential for exploiting its co‐products. Innovative extraction methods and a comprehensive strategy for producing multiple products from macauba co‐products are also highlighted as opportunities to achieve sustainable development goals and a circular economy in macauba fruit processing.
MaxTemp: A Method to Maximise Precision of the Temporal Method for Estimating Ne in Genetic Monitoring Programs
Authors: Waples Robin S. , Masuda Michele M. , LaCava Melanie E. F. , Finger Amanda J. 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTWe introduce a new software program, MaxTemp, that increases precision of the temporal method for estimating effective population size (Ne) in genetic monitoring programs, which are increasingly used to systematically track changes in global biodiversity. Scientists and managers are typically most interested in Ne for individual generations, either to match with single‐generation estimates of census size (N) or to evaluate consequences of specific management actions or environmental events. Systematically sampling every generation produces a time series of single‐generation estimates of temporal F (, which can then be used to estimate Ne; however, these estimates have relatively low precision because each reflects just a single episode of genetic drift. Systematic sampling also produces an array of multigenerational temporal estimates that collectively contain a great deal of information about genetic drift that, however, can be difficult to interpret. Here, we show how additional information contained in multigenerational temporal estimates can be leveraged to increase precision of for individual generations. Using information from one additional generation before and after a target generation can reduce the standard deviation of () by up to 50%, which not only tightens confidence intervals around but also reduces the incidence of extreme estimates, including infinite estimates of Ne. Practical application of MaxTemp is illustrated with data for a long‐term genetic monitoring program for California delta smelt. A second feature of MaxTemp, which allows one to estimate Ne in an unsampled generation using a combination of temporal and single‐sample estimates of Ne from sampled generations, is also described and evaluated.
