Does injustice perception threaten organizational performance in the healthcare setting? A sequential mediation examination
Authors: Khan Mukaram Ali , Kumar Jeetesh , Shoukat Muhammad Haroon , Selem Kareem M. 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the role of perceived organizational injustice (POI) leading to workplace conflict in determining organizational performance (OP) among healthcare employees. This paper also examines the serial mediating effects of moral disengagement (MD) and knowledge hiding (KH).

Design/methodology/approach
In all, 244 public and private hospital employees in Pakistan provided the data set.

Findings
According to partial least squares-structural equation modeling findings, the negative association between POI and OP was serially mediated by KH and MD. The recovery process underlying the linkage between POI and OP is tested and highlighted in this paper as a first step in unraveling it.

Research limitations/implications
The findings highlight the significance of taking moral and KH models into account when attempting to understand the moral cognitive processes that employees go through when they see injustice. Organizations should guarantee the equitable distribution of incentives and resources, as distributive and procedural justices are concerned with organizations.

Originality/value
By directing actions meant to prevent MD and KH, the findings may potentially inspire new, more focused treatments to safeguard patient safety and avoid losses in the healthcare industry. One way to reduce unethical conduct and MD is to have people declare or agree to a code of ethics.
Effects of film cooling holes on vibration characteristics of aeroengine turbine blades
Authors: An Bo , Wu Junnan 
Published: August 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect of film cooling holes on the vibration characteristics of a turbine blade, and provide the design basis for the blade, which may reduce computing costs.Design/methodology/approachModal analysis of the blades with and without film cooling holes is performed to evaluate the effect of film cooling holes on its natural frequency. Harmonic analysis of the blade is performed to calculate the stress concentration factors of film cooling holes for different modes.FindingsThe frequency differences between two blades with and without film cooling holes are insignificant, while the differences of the vibration stress cannot be neglected. For the first three modes of the blades, the stress concentration factor is sensitive to the hole’s shape and position on the blade. With the help of the stress concentration factor defined in this work, the concentration of stresses induced by different film cooling holes can be accurately described when evaluating HCF life of the turbine blade.Originality/valueThe effect of film cooling holes on a turbine blade's natural frequencies was confirmed to be insignificant and the stress concentration factors around the holes are calculated. Therefore, the simplified model of the blade without film cooling holes can be used to evaluate the natural frequencies and vibration stress, which saves a lot of time and cost.

Authors: Ritzhaupt Albert D. , Kohnen Angela Marie , Wusylko Christine , Wang Xiaoman , Dawson Kara , Sommer Max 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore the role skepticism plays among adolescents’ online information literacy skills.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors provide the conceptual grounding to operationalize and measure the notion of skepticism in an online information literacy context. Inspired by an existing measure known as the Skepticism Scale (Hurtt, 2010), the authors made substantial revisions to the scale to target middle school and high school students’ skepticism in six distinct, but related factors: questioning mind; search for knowledge; suspension of judgment; self-esteem; interpersonal understanding; and autonomy. The authors provide preliminary evidence of validity and reliability of the revised Skepticism Scale using Exploratory Factor Analysis and performed multiple linear regression using the Skepticism Scale measures to predict an adolescents’ online information literacy skills.

Findings
The Skepticism Scale was found to produce internally consistent constructs for all six measures. Three of the six measures were related to online information literacy skills, including the search for knowledge, interpersonal understanding and questioning mind.

Originality/value
This paper attempts to examine the potentially positive role of skepticism in information literacy skills among adolescents.
Integration of a gas pressure chamber on a reciprocal tribometer for experiments at ambient pressures up to 10 bar
Authors: Ausserer Florian , Velkavrh Igor , Kafexhiu Fevzi , Gachot Carsten 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
This study aims to focus on the development of an experimental setup for testing tribological pairings under a gas atmosphere at pressures up to 10 bar.

Design/methodology/approach
A pressure chamber allowing oscillating movement through an outer shaft was constructed and mounted on an oscillating tribometer. Due to a metal spring bellows system, a methodology for the evaluation of the coefficient of friction values separately from the spring forces was developed.

Findings
The selected material concept was qualitatively and quantitatively assessed. An evaluation of the static and the dynamic coefficient of friction was performed, which was crucial for the understanding of the adhesion effects of the tested material pairing. The amount of information that is lost due to averaging the measured friction values is higher than one would expect.

Originality/value
The developed experimental setup is unique and, compared with the existing tribometers for testing under gas ambient pressures, allows testing under contact conditions that are closer to real applications, such as compressors and expanders. An in-depth observation of the adhesion and stick–slip effects of the tested material pairings is possible as well.

Does IFRS convergence affect the readability of annual reports by Indian listed companies?
Authors: Saravanan R. , Mohammad Firoz , Kumar Praveen 
Published: August 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of IFRS convergence on annual report readability in an emerging market context, with an emphasis on the contents of management discussion and analysis (MD&A), notes to the accounts (Notes) and the whole annual report.Design/methodology/approachThe study performs firm-fixed effect regression on a sample of 143 Indian listed companies over a period spanning from 2012 to 2021 to examine the influence of IFRS convergence on readability. This assessment primarily focuses on broader spectrums of readability dimensions, namely annual report length and complexity, wherein complexity is measured using the Gunning Fog, Flesch Reading ease and Flesch-Kincaid grade index.FindingsAs Indian firms shift to IFRS reporting, the findings suggest that annual reports have become significantly lengthier and more complex, causing deterioration in readability. The Notes section, in particular, exhibits the most significant increase in length and complexity, followed by the entire annual report and MD&A section. Furthermore, the findings also indicate that the complexity of the Notes section is instrumental in the observed complexity growth of the whole annual report in the post-IFRS period.Research limitations/implicationsThe current study employs readability indices rather than directly taking into consideration the opinions of actual users of annual reports to determine readability. As a result, the study does not provide direct evidence on how information in annual reports affects users' readability.Practical implicationsThe findings provide insightful information to managers and policymakers about the difficulties stakeholders may encounter while reading IFRS-based annual reports, which ultimately impact their investment decisions. Thus, there is an important managerial implication from this, depending upon the severity of complexity corporations participate in while complying with IFRS in the post-IFRS period.Originality/valueAnalyzing the influence of exogenous information shock, such as IFRS convergence, on readability is critical, particularly for emerging markets like India, where a lack of financial literacy and weaker enforcement already have detrimental effects on the capital market. In light of this, the current study provides a comprehensive examination of the impact of IFRS convergence on annual report readability and contributes to the growing IFRS literature in the less explored emerging market context.
Prevalence scores: an addition to behaviour sequence analysis
Authors: Keatley David , Marono Abbie J. , Clarke David D. 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
Behaviours occur across complex, dynamic timelines. Research methods to analyse these complex timelines have repeatedly used behaviour sequence analysis (BSA) as a primary method. Traditional BSA outputs, however, are limited in that they do not show how prevalent a behaviour sequence is throughout a sample or group. Until now, how many people in a sample showed the sequence was not analysed and reported. This paper aims to provide a new metric to calculate prevalence scores in BSA data sets.

Design/methodology/approach
Open access recorded responses including nonverbal communication of deceptive and truthful individuals were analysed initially with a standard BSA approach and then the prevalence scores of transitions were calculated.

Findings
Prevalence scores offered new insights into the distribution of sequences across groups. The prevalence score showed differences in which transitions were seen across the truthful and guilty samples. This offers new approaches to analysing nonverbal communication.

Originality/value
This is the first paper to provide a prevalence score for BSA research and show how it can be used in applied research. The current prevalence score metric is provided and suggested for all future research into sequences.
Whywe (do not) share data in German real estate – a reasoned action approach
Authors: Wiesweg Niklas 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
German (corporate-) real estate management departments have been facing the challenge of poor data quality for years. This holds them back from generating efficiency potentials via the use of new methods from the field of digitalisation and from coping with the increasing requirements from the ESG context. The purpose of this paper is to explore why German (corporate-) real estate managements (do not) share data with their real estate service providers to address the data quality challenge and identify possible solutions.

Design/methodology/approach
To answer the research question, the reasoned action approach, an established theory from psychology for predicting human behaviour, is used. The relationships between the constructs are determined using linear regression. The study participants are almost exclusively from Germany.

Findings
The organisational milieu (perceived behavioural control) has a significant impact on the behaviour of sharing data with real estate service providers. Especially the change of contractual arrangements (data-driven contracts) seems to be crucial for the improvement of information logistics.

Originality/value
To the best of the author’s knowledge, for the first time, the reasoned action approach is used within the German real estate industry to predict organisational behaviour in the context of digitalisation.
Does information asymmetry mediate the relationship between voluntary disclosure and cost of capital? Evidence from a developing economy
Authors: Abu Afifa Malik Muneer , Saadeh Mustafa 
Published: August 2023

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the relationship between voluntary disclosure and the cost of capital as a direct relationship and as an indirect relationship mediated by information asymmetry. It provides evidence from Jordan as a developing economy.Design/methodology/approachThe sample was selected from the companies listed in the first market of the Amman Stock Exchange during the period 2010–2019. Four exclusion criteria were used in selecting the companies for analysis.FindingsThe findings show that the cost of capital and information asymmetry are negatively affected by voluntary disclosure, as well as that the cost of capital is positively affected by information asymmetry. In addition, information asymmetry does not mediate the relationship between voluntary disclosure and the cost of capital.Originality/valueThis research looks at the mediating effect of information asymmetry in the relationship between voluntary disclosure and the cost of capital; thus, it provides new explanations about it using empirical evidence from a developing economy. As a necessary consequence, this research has the potential to significantly contribute to the existing body of knowledge and literature in this field.

Ethical implications for teaching students to hack to combat cybercrime and money laundering
Authors: Al-Tawil Tareq Na’el 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
Malicious hackers are increasingly evolving with technology by developing advanced tools to infiltrate. They are looking at micro laundering via sites like PayPal or using job advertising sites, to avoid exposure. Micro laundering makes it possible to launder a large amount of money in small amounts through thousands of electronic transactions. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to examine whether the ethical hacking pedagogy is both a feasible and effective approach to prepare information security professionals of the future to combat black hat hacking and other forms of unethical conduct in the cyberspace.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper will specifically explore the ethics and implications of teaching students how to hack. It examines the strengths and limitations of the ethical hacking pedagogy. The discussion will then form the basis for exploring whether ethical hacking pedagogy is logical and justifiable.

Findings
The research has examined whether the ethical hacking pedagogy is an initiative-taking and effective approach to preparing information security professionals. Teaching students to hack is the only feasible approach to preparing future cybersecurity professionals because such training will allow them to master technical skills necessary for penetration testing.

Originality/value
A dominant theme that emerged from the research is the inability to evaluate students’ intention and provide oversight after their graduation. Thus, professional networks and peer groups will play an instrumental role in sustaining students in an environment that fosters ethical conduct.
Exploring UAE's transition towards circular economy through construction and demolition waste management in the pre-construction stage–A case study approach
Authors: Nie Peng , Dahanayake Kalani C. , Sumanarathna Nipuni 
Published: August 2023

PurposeThis paper aims to explore UAE's transition towards circular economy (CE) through construction and demolition waste (CDW) management in the pre-construction stage. The extent of circularity is assessed by five key aspects of CE, such as policies and strategic frameworks, design for waste prevention, design for disassembly or deconstruction, use of prefabricated elements and CDW management plans.Design/methodology/approachMultiple case studies were conducted in the context of the Dubai construction industry (UAE). Three significant and unique construction projects were selected as the cases. Semi-structured interviews were carried out to collect data, and the thematic analysis technique and NVIVO 12 software were used for data analysis.FindingsFindings reveal several positive initiatives towards CE in the UAE context; yet it is identified that the transition is still at the initial stage. Selected case studies, the best-case scenarios of UAE (i.e. influential cases), demonstrated adequate measures in relation to four key CE aspects out of five. For instance, (a) policies and strategic frameworks such as lean standards, green building standards and standards developed by the local authorities, (b) design for waste prevention (e.g. adherence to the 3R principle, and construction planning with BIM), (c) use of prefabricated elements and application of innovative construction technologies (e.g. 3DPC, DfMA) and (d) CDW management planning such as 3R principle were evident. However, the selected cases hardly showcase designing for disassembly or deconstruction.Research limitations/implicationsThe existing CDW practices are mostly conventional, as most constructions in UAE are procured through conventional building materials and methods. Therefore, there is a necessity of encouraging CE principles in CDW management. Even though the transition towards CE was evident in four key CE aspects out of five, the UAE construction industry has yet to adopt more effective CE-based CDW management practices to accelerate the circularity. Hence, it is necessary to enforce standard waste management guidelines, including the 3R principle, to standardise CDW management in UAE and encourage construction practitioners to adhere to CE principles.Originality/valueThe findings of this study provide valuable insights for decision-making processes around CDW management towards a CE. This paper contributes to the literature by bridging the CE concept with CDW management in the pre-construction stage. The study provides insights for industry practitioners for planning CE in terms of policies and strategic frameworks, CDW management planning, construction planning and application of innovative construction technologies.
The Grove of Giants: Tasmania's most carbon‐dense forest
Authors: Sanger Jennifer C. , Ferrari Atalaya 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe Grove of Giants in the Huon Valley of Tasmania, Australia is renowned for its large trees. A team of tree climbers and citizen scientists undertook a carbon assessment of a 2 hectare plot within the Grove of Giants. The largest 16 trees in the plot (>2.5 m DBH) were measured by tree climbers allowing for accurate estimation of tree volume. Understory trees, coarse woody debris, root biomass and soil carbon were also estimated, making this study the most comprehensive assessment of forest carbon in Tasmania. Total forest carbon was estimated to be 1312 tonnes per hectare. Large trees had the highest carbon stocks, accounting for 44% of the total store. Coarse woody debris represented 19% of the forest's carbon, root biomass was 14%, while the understory trees accounted for 12% and soil carbon for 11%. This is the highest carbon stock recorded in Tasmania and is above the average estimates for temperate forest ecosystems in other parts of the world. Protecting Tasmania's forests, especially mature wet Eucalypt forests, is important to avoid potential greenhouse gas emissions and ensure safe storage of the carbon in the land sector.
Does adding hydroxychloroquine to empiric treatment improve the live birth rate in refractory obstetrical antiphospholipid syndrome? A systematic review
Authors: Hooper Allyssa , Bacal Vanessa , Bedaiwy Mohamed A. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractProblemThe current standard prevention of obstetric complications in patients with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) is the use of combination low‐dose aspirin and low molecular weight heparin. However, 20‐30% of women still experience refractory obstetrical APS. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an immunomodulatory agent that has been shown in laboratory studies to decrease thrombosis risk, support placentation, and minimize the destructive effects of antiphospholipid antibodies. The objective of this study was to evaluate the risk of pregnancy loss upon treatment with HCQ among women with refractory obstetrical APS.Method of studyA systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. Studies that evaluated the use of HCQ during pregnancy in women with primary APS were included. The primary outcomes of interest were live birth and pregnancy losses after treatment with HCQ.ResultsTwelve studies met inclusion criteria. Three retrospective cohort studies demonstrated improved live birth rate, and four studies demonstrated a reduction in pregnancy loss rate. Two case reports also demonstrated a benefit in the use of HCQ compared to previous obstetrical outcomes.ConclusionsOur findings suggest a significant benefit of HCQ in addition to aspirin and heparin for patients with APS to mitigate the risk of antiphospholipid antibody mediated obstetrical complications. Randomized controlled trials with standardized patient selection criteria need to be conducted to corroborate these findings.
