Authors: Abdalmajid Jilan , Papasolomou Ioanna , Vrontis Demetris , Melanthiou Yioula , Thrassou Alkis , Uzunboylu Naziyet 
Published: February 2023

Purpose
Literature on nation branding is heterogeneous and varies significantly, not only in terminological terms but also in theoretical approaches and practical application. This paper aims to conduct an extensive exploratory study that empirically develops a comprehensive nation brand framework for Palestine, with international applications as well.

Design/methodology/approach
Initially, a conceptual framework for developing a nation brand is theoretically designed. Subsequently, through a methodologically deductive–inductive approach and qualitative means, it tests, adapts and refines the framework based on empirical data collected from key stakeholders, such as government officials, politicians, business people and academics.

Findings
The theoretical part of the research uncovers the extant key models and core concepts, and it identifies several gaps, with the more prominent one being the lack of an integrated and widely adopted framework for developing a nation brand. The research, thus, conclusively builds a holistic strategic framework towards a distinct nation brand for Palestine, with generic/international application and value, also presenting the practical implications of the findings and identifying avenues for further research.

Originality/value
There are varying extant perspectives on the topic, with these different views often reflecting scholars’ and stakeholders’ methodological approaches, perspectives and even deeper ontological beliefs and convictions. This paper is original consequent to its multi-perspective approach, the strength of its theoretical foundation, the extent and methodological approach of its empirical research, the uniqueness of its focus and the comprehensiveness of the framework developed that can also be used as the conceptual cornerstone for testing in other nations branding studies as well.
Do professional management accountants in business understand their professional code of ethics? Evidence from the Indian context
Authors: Ghosh Arpita , Bhuyan Nisigandha 
Published: February 2023

PurposeThis paper aims to provide an objective and comprehensive evaluation of the understanding of the professional code of ethics of Indian Professional Management Accountants in Business (PMAIBs). It further delves into their individual, job and organizational characteristics as determinants of their understanding of the code.Design/methodology/approachThis study relies on data from 247 responses to a survey-based questionnaire. Overall scores and sub-scores of the level of understanding of the code were calculated based on questions grounded in IESBA Code and ethical dilemmas. The drivers of these scores were then examined using one-way ANOVA, OLS, Probit and ordered probit regressions.FindingsThis study found considerable heterogeneity in Indian PMAIBs' understanding of their professional code of ethics and substantial scope for improvements. PMAIBs were stronger in Application, Resolution and Threats but weaker in Theory and Principles. Further, PMAIBs who had ranked themselves higher on code-familiarity, had higher moral maturity, hailed from western India and worked for foreign-listed, foreign-owned firms were found to have a higher level of understanding of the code. Highly educated elderly professionals and professionals with more responsibility areas exhibited a lower level of understanding of the code.Research limitations/implicationsInsights from the study can help professional bodies, employers and academics identify and segment PMAIBs based on their ethics-training needs and customize interventions, which can benefit businesses and society through reduced corporate ethical failures. Considering the risk implications of Indian PMAIBs' inadequacies in understanding their code of ethics, the Indian professional accounting organization (ICAI-CMA) should mandate ethics in continuing professional development and expedite its long pending convergence with the IESBA code, a global benchmark for professional accountants.Originality/valueThis paper assesses the understanding of the professional code of ethics of PMAIBs, which is crucial yet amiss in the accounting ethics literature. While ethical decision-making is extensively researched, how well the professionals understand their code is yet unexplored. Research on PMAIBs, despite their unique ethical vulnerabilities and increasingly vital role in organizations, is still dormant. This study aims to fill these gaps by examining PMAIBs from India, an emerging economy under-represented in accounting ethics literature. India offers an important and rich setting for the study due to its large size, fast growth, deep integration with the global economy, high perceived corruption levels and poor ethical behavior of its firms.
What drives senior tourists to travel to islands? The case of the Azores
Authors: Robina-Ramirez Rafael , da Silva Mendes José Carlos , Silva Osvaldo Dias Lopes , de Medeiros Maria Teresa Pires 
Published: February 2023

PurposeAccording to the theory of push and pull factors, the current work aims to present two objectives: (1) to detect what attributes drive senior tourists to travel to the Azores islands, the role played by lecturing activities (LA) as push factors and their influence on the island's offer (pull factors) are analysed; and (2) to understand the personal and contextual barriers of tourists to provide information to the agents who form part of the tourism supply process on the island.Design/methodology/approachThe data has been processed using the statistical package SmartPLS version 26. Using an exploratory methodology based on structural equation modeling (SEM) structural equations applied to small sample sizes, a tentative model has been generated to define the drivers of tourism for elderly people who visit the islands.FindingsThe research study reveals that LA are the key factor in completing the offering of tourist destinations in the Azores. Educational packages should be made available to senior tourists. Likewise, several tourism barriers, such as flight times, cost of the trip, concern about the safety of destinations, type of accommodation, language difficulties and medical and health care should also be revised by tourism authorities and flight stakeholders with regard to the Azores Islands.Research limitations/implicationsThe reduced sample has made the results impossible to show greater predictive power.Practical implicationsThe role played by push factors, such as lecturing or educational activities, and pull factors, such as the tourism offering by the island, allows us to envisage educational packages based on the preferences of senior tourists, such as attending lectures on the history of the Azores, gastronomy (traditional food), active ageing flora, and interesting facts and legends of the islands.Social implicationsAs a push factor, social interaction has become the main motivation among senior tourists. Such tourists have conveyed not only their desire to meet other tourists but also their interest in socialising in tourist activities, relaxing and visiting other new places.Originality/valueEven though LA are relatively common among university students and those with bachelor's degrees, educational packages for senior tourism are now gaining in popularity. Better socio-economic conditions worldwide and easier access to education for mature people have allowed them to expand their knowledge by travelling to exotic destinations such as the Azores. This paper links that interest with barriers to travel as well as to the Azores' rich touristic offering.
Multidimensional scale development and validation: university service quality (UNIQUAL)
Authors: Sann Raksmey , Lai Pei-Chun , Liaw Shu-Yi , Chen Chi-Ting 
Published: February 2023

PurposeThis study aims to develop an assessment scale for university service quality (university SQ) and examine University Service Quality assessment model (UNIQUAL) of higher education during the pandemic.Design/methodology/approachTwo studies applied a mixed-method design to develop and validate the UNIQUAL scale. In-depth interviews and literature reviews were conducted to refine the initial dimensions and items of UNIQUAL in Study 1. Item analysis, EFA and CFA were then conducted to purify item refinement, scale refinement, purification and validation in Study 2. Finally, a confirmed UNIQUAL model was analyzed via partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using Smart-PLS 4.0.FindingsThe research confirms the four-factor structure of UNIQUAL, with a total of 16 items, to be a valid and reliable scale for the assessment of the service quality (SQ) of universities. Having adopted the bias-corrected and accelerated (BCa) bootstrap approach to study 5,000 subsamples from 27 countries, the authors found “responsiveness” and “empathy” to be significantly associated and have positive relationships with students' satisfaction with university SQ. Furthermore, university SQ and satisfaction were mediated by “health and safety” concerns.Practical implicationsThe newly developed UNIQUAL scale would be of value to educators and authorities of higher education to assess the SQ of their universities to enhance the effectiveness of student learning. The improvement in satisfaction with higher education's SQ ultimately helps in retaining both international and local students amidst concerns about traveling and studying during the pandemic.Social implicationsCOVID-19 has affected the private and public sectors worldwide. Millions of students have been affected by schools being shut down and substituted with distance-learning programs. Thus, the assessment of the quality of university services has become an important support mechanism for retaining the sustainability of higher education.Originality/valueThe UNIQUAL scale provides a conceptual model and validates an assessment tool. The research hypotheses confirm the relationship between university SQ and satisfaction from the perspective of international students.
Integrative generation of Korea's “Dosan Seowon” architectural space
Authors: Oh Sangeun , Park Soram , Jung Hyejin 
Published: February 2023

PurposeTraditional Korean buildings do not differ significantly in form or structural style according to era or building type. The authors interpret this from a generative rather than a typological perspective. The generation perspective considers factors forming the buildings and is connected to the prevailing thoughts of the era.Design/methodology/approachThis study analyzes the generation method of seowon facilities in the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897), focusing on the Dosan Seowon. Based on Koreans' long-term thinking, the authors applied the extracted architectural space generation layers for analysis, and present an integrated method of generation layers when the Dosan Seowon was built.FindingsThe immanent, physical and body perceptual layers presented for seowon formation analysis are represented by thought, form and territory. Specific aspects of these layers in the Dosan Seowon are analyzed, including the architectural arrangement that connects the land conditions with neo-Confucian courtesy and order, the collective architectural form considering the energy of yin and yang, and the elements of objects that affect the human body perception. This form of architecture was closely linked with and strongly influenced by monistic philosophy.Social implicationsAfter the Korean War, architects judged traditional buildings only by shapes, and quickly accepted Western architecture's forms. Presenting a generative perspective of traditional Korean architecture expands the theoretical research direction of modern succession.Originality/valueThis is the first attempt to examine the generation method based on the Dosan Seowon's generation layers.

Contextualizing resilience to critical infrastructure maintenance supply networks
Authors: Scholten Kirstin , van Donk Dirk Pieter , Power Damien , Braeuer Stephanie 
Published: February 2023

Purpose
To be able to continuously provide affordable services to consumers, managers of critical infrastructure (CI) maintenance supply networks have to balance investments in resilience with costs. At the same time, CI providers need to consider factors that influence resilience such as the geographical spread or the location of the network. This study aims to contextualize supply chain resilience knowledge by exploring how maintenance resource configurations impact resilience and costs in CI supply networks.

Design/methodology/approach
An in-depth longitudinal single case study of a representative CI provider that has centralized its maintenance supply network is used. Data were collected before and after the change to evaluate the effect of the changes on the maintenance supply network.

Findings
This study shows that in this specific CI maintenance context, structural resource choices such as the quantity or location of spare parts and tools, the creation and exploitation of tacit knowledge and staff motivation impact both resilience and costs due to geographical spread, network location and other network properties.

Originality/value
This study extends general supply chain resilience knowledge to a new setting (i.e. CI) and shows how existing insights apply in this context. More specifically, it is shown that even in engineered supply networks there is a need to consider the effect of human agency on resilience as the creation and exploitation of tacit knowledge are of immense importance in managing the network. In addition, the relationship between normal accidents theory and high reliability theory (HRT) is revisited as findings indicate that HRT is also important after a disruption has taken place.
“Fake or not, I’m sharing it”: teen perception about disinformation in social networks
Authors: Zozaya-Durazo Luisa Dolores , Sádaba-Chalezquer Charo , Feijoo‐Fernández Beatriz 
Published: February 2023

PurposeDisinformation has become a latent risk for online audiences, specifically for minors who are commonly exposed to a wide variety of online content at a time they are developing cognitively and emotionally. This paper aims to offer insight on minors’ perception and the tools used by this age group to verify the content to which they are exposed while online.Design/methodology/approachTwelve focus groups were held in Spain between April and June 2021 with a total of 62 participants aged 11–17. Besides age, sex and socioeconomic group were variables taken into consideration to select the participants. A script covering the intended questions was used to structure the discussion.FindingsResult analysis reveals that minors are excessively confident in their ability to identify false news and feel the need to share content with their online community as a means of participation in discussions or trending topics. Although WhatsApp family groups are seen as a source of misleading news, the study reveals that the family and traditional media (mainly television) act as sources of verification of fake news for minors. In general, minors opt for actions that require less initiative to contrast the content they consume on the internet.Originality/valueThis study produces new findings by further deepening the results of the first quantitative study on the relationship between minors and disinformation in Spain using qualitative method from conducting virtual focus groups.
The spectral stacking method and its application in seismic data resolution increase
Authors: Claudino Carlos , Lupinacci Wagner Moreira 
Published: February 2023

AbstractPreconditioning is a practice adopted in the treatment of seismic data and, when properly applied, favours a resolution increase. However, retrieving all the frequency contents is still a challenge to overcome. Techniques to improve the seismic resolution should preserve the existing relations in the distribution of seismic events. Otherwise, it may cause undesirable situations, from the degradation of the signal‐to‐noise ratio to the creation of false events, leading to errors of interpretation. We developed a method called spectral stacking, which makes use of circular convolution in the frequency domain to extend frequency content, preserving the distribution of seismic events without adding artefacts. As an application of the spectral stacking method, we create a sharpening filter that resolves layers under Ricker's criterion. In addition, the sharpening filter preserves the amplitude using a variable‐window correction based on the local minima of the absolute values of amplitude. We validated our proposed method in synthetic and real tests. The results showed that the sharpening filter obtained a resolution increase, providing a sharper image of the seismic section.
Objective classification of high‐resolution geophysical data: Empowering the next generation of mineral exploration in Sierra Leone
Authors: Gorbunov Artem , Fraser Stephen , Cuffey Prince , Lansana Emmanuel , Deen Henry , Archer Tim 
Published: February 2023

AbstractIn 2019, a nationwide airborne geophysical survey of Sierra Leone was flown at 150 m nominal line spacing and 50 m nominal terrain clearance. Contractual deliverables included magnetic, radiometric and supporting data streams. The primary aim of the geophysical survey was to provide a national geoscientific benchmark for resource management by the National Minerals Agency and to encourage foreign investment in the rich mining potential of Sierra Leone. Geophysical interpretation is often highly subjective. This can be helpful when an interpreter is skilled in the project area and exploration targets being sought but can be constraining and even dangerous when exploring new areas, and for new commodities. Objective classification tools can challenge interpretive bias and enhance geological understanding, both locally and regionally. We present self‐organizing maps and neural network products generated from the Sierra Leone geophysical dataset which both confirm and challenge the validity of conventional, subjective interpretation workflows. We demonstrate the usefulness of self‐organizing maps as a tool for inferring complementary geological information and show some initial results of convolution neural network classification of a reduced‐to‐equator grid to locate magnetic lineaments in plan and in depth. Moreover, we show initial results of self‐organizing map clustering as a tool for joint analysis of multiphysics datasets and construction of a pseudolithological cluster map.
Integrated geophysical approach for ore exploration: Case study of Sidi Bou Aouane–Khadhkhadha Pb–Zn province – Northern Tunisia
Authors: Mnasri Mohamed , Amiri Adnen , Nasr Imen Hamdi , Belkhiria Wajdi , Inoubli Mohamed Hedi 
Published: February 2023

AbstractWe carried out an integrated interpretation of available geophysical data (gravity and electrical data) in Sidi Bou Aouane–Khadhkhadha Pb–Zn province, located in a Neogene basin south of the Alpine thrust‐belt front in northern Tunisia. The interpretive approach of gravity data was done based on the Fourier transformation and spectral analysis to extract the residual component. Furthermore, edge enhancement techniques (tilt angle, total horizontal derivative) were applied to image the underlying lineaments in the study area. The computed gravity maps reveal multiple NE–SW hidden faults considered potential mineralization targets, referring to geological information. Detrital formations, known as containers of disseminated Pb–Zn mineralization, are expressed by low gravity responses. Resistivity and chargeability 3D inversion was conducted concurrently through on an iterative approach based on the conventional least‐squares algorithm and “incomplete Gauss‐Newton” as an optimization method. The initial model was defined based on drill‐hole data and geological knowledge. Inverted resistivity confirms the basin architecture expressed by gravity data. The combined interpretation of inverted resistivity and chargeability correlated to borehole and outcrops allows the definition of different electrical ranges associated to different lithologies and mineralization type and contents. A new potential target, expressing the same electrical signature of mineralization, is evidenced northward Khadhkhadha old mine. In addition, a potential copper concentration area was proven based on its electrical responses south Sidi Bou Aouane mine. 2.5D gravity modelling supports the evidenced interpreted target. The revealed results provided evidence for future interpretations of further geological structures, along with evaluations of mineral resources.
Experimental transport of Trichomanes speciosum spores on Azorean woodpigeon feathers as a possible explanation for interisland dispersal
Authors: Dias Eduardo , Branco Soraia 
Published: February 2023

AbstractTrichomanes speciosum is a protected fern whose sporophyte generation is abundant on the island of Terceira (Azores archipelago, Portugal) but whose dispersal mechanism has never been directly documented. Based on its distribution, bird‐mediated epizoochory is a likely mechanism for spore dispersal, but there is no evidence to support this hypothesis. Laboratory experiments were performed to test the transportability of T. speciosum spores by the woodpigeon (Columba palumbus azorica), by observing the persistence of artificially added spores to feather samples that had been exposed to treatments of different wind speeds (2, 4, 6, and 8.25 m s−1) to simulate flight. The spores attached readily to the woodpigeon feathers, and 47% of the spores, on average, were lost after applying the maximum wind speed of the experiment. Spore loss was significantly related to wind speed but not to time of exposure. These findings suggest that if a fern spore adheres to the feathers of a woodpigeon, it has a probability of around 53% to remain there during flight and to eventually be dropped away from its origin. This study not only sheds new light on the possibility of T. speciosum spores being dispersed by woodpigeons, but also provides mechanistic evidence for spore retention on bird surfaces more generally.
