Published: January 2023

PurposeThis study aims to explore the challenges of getting halal certification for restaurants in north-eastern Thailand.Design/methodology/approachQualitative research approach was adopted to analyse the collected data. The research procedures and the interview questions were examined by the Ethics Committee for Research involving human subjects. In total, 10 restaurant owners were interviewed. Then, the interviews were transcribed, coded and grouped by using thematic analysis while the ATLAS ti. software was used for qualitative data analysis. The theme was finalised by three intercoder agreements.FindingsThe three challenges of obtaining halal certification among restaurants in north-eastern Thailand were the complicated process of getting halal certification, lack of restaurant owner commitment and high halal certification fee.Research limitations/implicationsThe number of halal-certified restaurants are limited. Some restaurants refused to renew halal status but their information is still displayed on the halal authority website. Not only the number of restaurants but also time-limited. Further, a quantitative phase for prioritising was suggested.Practical implicationsThe study can be beneficial to the halal authority and business holders as the two main stakeholders. The findings can be used to plan or develop halal strategies to increase the quality of halal restaurants. As informants mentioned common challenges, the findings could be applied as guidelines for a new business holder keen on halal implementation.Originality/valueThis research demonstrated the challenges of halal certification in a non-Muslim country, focussing on the north-eastern region of Thailand. The findings will add value to a potential business area. Therefore, the highlighted challenges could provide a novelty and be useful for Muslim marketing.
The impact of capital-market liberalization on audit reporting and pricing: evidence from a quasi-experiment
Authors: Jiang Jin , Lu Xiangyun , Wu Yihan , Zhang Hua 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of capital market liberalization on audit reporting and pricing. The authors use the announcement of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program in China as a shock to capital market liberalization.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors use the difference-in-differences method to study the difference in changes in the frequency of modified audit opinions and audit fees between the treatment group and the control group.

Findings
This study finds that capital market liberalization increases reputational and litigation risks for auditors and leads to more conservative audit reports. In addition, capital market liberalization stimulates the management of eligible firms to improve the information environment, helps to reduce information asymmetry and decreases audit fees. Specifically, the authors identify the channels of active foreign institutional investors as a new governance mechanism through which capital market liberalization impacts eligible firm and auditor decisions.

Research limitations/implications
This study complements the literature by showing that capital market liberalization may bring a new and strong governance mechanism for eligible firms and auditors.

Practical implications
This study may provide new references for active foreign institutional shareholders as a new and strong governance mechanism in weak institutional regimes such as China, auditors’ optimization decisions when litigation risks increase and management’s improvements in the information environment under the monitoring of foreign institutional shareholders.

Originality/value
Overall, this study contributes to the literature by showing that capital market liberalization can bring a new governance mechanism for the management of eligible firms and auditors in a weak institutional environment. Foreign institutional shareholders may be superior to the domestic market forces and other corporate governance in the role of monitoring the management of eligible firms and auditors.
Accountabilities and stakeholder expectations regarding asbestos-free building materials supply chain: an actor-network theory perspective
Authors: Ukwatte Lalitha , Khan Tehmina , Siriwardhane Pavithra , Ukwatte Jalathge Sarath Lal 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore issues relating to imposing a ban on the importation of asbestos-contaminated building materials (ACBMs) in the Australian context to better understand the multiple accountabilities and consequences.

Design/methodology/approach
This study undertakes a qualitative content analysis of the multiple accountabilities and stakeholder expectations using the lens of actor–network theory. This study further explores the weaknesses and complexities associated with implementing a complete ban on asbestos, ensuring that only asbestos-free building materials are imported to Australia. This study uses data collected from 15 semi-structured interviews with stakeholders, responses from the Australian Border Force to a questionnaire and 215 counter accounts from the media, the Australian Government, industry organizations, non-governmental organizations and social group websites during the period from 2003 to 2021.

Findings
This study reveals that stakeholders' expectations of zero tolerance for asbestos have not been met. This assertion has been backed by evidence of asbestos contamination in imported building materials throughout recent years. Stakeholders say that the complete prevention of the importation of ACBMs has been delayed because of issues in policy implementations, opaque supply chain activities, lack of transparency and non-adherence to mandatory and self-regulated guidelines.

Practical implications
Stakeholders expect public and private sector organizations to meet their accountabilities through mandatory adoption of the given policy framework.

Originality/value
This research provides a road map to identify the multiple accountabilities, their related weaknesses and the lack of implementation of the necessary protocol, which prevents a critical aspect of legislation from being effectively implemented.
Using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach to Twitter content: a social network’s analysis of green accounting as a dimension of sustainability
Authors: Khan Shaizy , Gupta Seema 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
Owing to the worldwide outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2, social media conversations have increased. Given the increasing pressure from regulatory authorities and society, green accounting – as a dimension of sustainable development – remains the most discussed topic on most social media platforms. This study aims to incorporate a technological approach to green accounting and sustainability to enhance the innovation process inside and outside organizations.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses the hermeneutic phenomenological technique to investigate Twitter content. Tweets were subjected to a manual coding process to analyze their content, including recent advancements, challenges, cross-country initiatives and promotion strategies in green accounting. Public perception of green accounting and the COP26 climate summit was also studied.

Findings
Tweeters view green accounting favorably; however, they are apprehensive about its implementation. Regarding the challenges in green accounting, “corporate green washing” was the most tweeted content. The UK was the top-rated nation with respect to green accounting development. Furthermore, the most discussed breakthrough was the application of artificial intelligence in the domain of green accounting functions. However, Twitter users were observed to have directed heavy criticism at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow.

Originality/value
This study’s primary innovation is its integration of emerging technologies such as machine learning and data mining with social media platforms such as Twitter. Incorporating manual coding of tweets is a rigorous procedure that amplifies the strength of machine learning software’s auto-coding feature.

Published: January 2023

Purpose
Social entrepreneurship education (SEE) is gaining increasing attention globally. This paper aims to focus on how SEE may be better understood and reconfigured from a Bourdieusian capital perspective with an emphasis on the process of mobilising and transforming social entrepreneurs’ cultural, social, economic and symbolic resources.

Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on qualitative research with a sample of social entrepreneurship educators and mentors, the authors generate insights into the significance of challenging assumptions and establishing values and principles and hence that of developing a range of capitals (using the Bourdieusian notion of capital) for SEE.

Findings
The findings highlight the significance of developing a range of capitals and their transformative power for SEE. In this way, learners can develop dispositions for certain forms of capitals over others and transform them to each other in becoming reflexive social agents.

Originality/value
The authors respond to the calls for critical thinking in entrepreneurship education and contribute to the field by developing a reflexive approach to SEE. The authors also make recommendations to educators, who are tasked with implementing such an approach in pursuit of raising the next generations of social entrepreneurs.
Childrens and young adults’ generalized attitudes toward foods in unbranded mobile games
Authors: Priluck Randi L. , Pirog Stephen F. , Wisenblit Joseph Z. 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine how children and young adults form attitudes toward food products in unbranded gaming mobile applications and the degree to which product category attitudes can generate responses to brands in the category through the generalization process.Design/methodology/approachTwo experiments exposed children and young adults to mobile games featuring food products in a between-subjects treatment versus control design to examine both affective responses and belief formation toward food brands within the category.FindingsIt was found that both children and young adults favored branded food items in the product category after playing with an unbranded mobile game assembling food products. Young adults also developed specific beliefs about nonrepresented brands in the category, which were found to be stronger under high involvement. Parents and public policymakers must be vigilant in controlling access to food-related games, even when they are not commercial in nature because of the attitudes and beliefs formed in unbranded games.Originality/valueThis research demonstrates that attitudes and beliefs around food brands can be formed through unbranded game play when children and young adults generalize attitudes. Because of the emphasis on “advergames,” no studies have examined the impact of unbranded games on children and young adults through the generalization process.

AbstractPrevious studies on family history of psoriasis showed that patients with a family history have an earlier onset of the disease, but such studies in Japan are still limited. To elucidate the characteristics of patients with familial psoriasis, we studied the family history of patients with psoriasis using the West Japan Psoriasis Registry, a multi‐institutional registry operated by 26 facilities in the western part of Japan, including university hospitals, community hospitals, and clinics. This study enrolled 1847 patients registered between September 2019 and December 2021, with 199 (10.8%) having a family history of psoriasis. Patients with a family history of psoriasis had significantly earlier onset of the disease than those without a family history. Furthermore, patients with a family history of psoriasis had significantly longer disease duration. Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) was significantly more common in patients with a family history (69/199, 34.7%) than in those without a family history (439/1648, 26.6%) (adjusted P = 0.023). A subanalysis of patients with PsA revealed a significant difference in the patient global assessment (PaGA) score in Fisher's exact test and adjusted test. The numbers of patients with PaGA 0/1 were 29 (43.3%) and 172 (39.9%) in patients with PsA with and without family history of psoriasis, respectively, whereas the numbers of patients with PaGA 3/4 were 13 (19.4%) and 145 (33.6%) in patients with PsA with and without family history of psoriasis, respectively. Other disease severity variables did not show a difference between the two groups. Our findings suggest that genetics play a larger role in the development of PsA than in the development of psoriasis vulgaris. Most cases of PsA occur in patients who already have psoriasis, therefore dermatologists should pay attention to joint symptoms, especially in patients with psoriasis who have a family history of psoriasis.

Abstract

In tropical forests, understory herbaceous angiosperms (herbs), which can comprise up to 40% of plant species richness, have received relatively little attention compared with trees, and their diversity patterns and drivers remain poorly understood. While tropical tree diversity has been shown to be driven primarily by water availability, we hypothesized that herb diversity may be equally or more limited by light availability.

To test the importance of water and light in shaping herb diversity, we surveyed herb communities in 13 one‐ha plots along a rainfall gradient in a seasonally dry tropical forest landscape in India. In each plot, herbs were censused thrice during the year in 47–50 one‐m2 subplots. We examined drivers of herb diversity and ground cover at the landscape scale (across plots) and local scale (among subplots) using simple linear regression and linear mixed models, respectively.

At the landscape scale, herb diversity and ground cover were negatively related to rainfall and soil moisture, in contrast with previous studies of tropical forest trees. This indicates that water was not limiting for herbs. Instead, light availability, which was negatively correlated with rainfall, appears to drive patterns of herb diversity and ground cover across the gradient. Herb diversity and ground cover were uniformly low across the gradient during the dry season, indicating that water limitation does have a seasonal impact. When water was abundant (rainy season), herbs took advantage of higher light availability at more open (lower‐rainfall) plots.

Consistent with landscape‐scale patterns, herb richness at the subplot level was positively related to light availability, with its effect stronger at higher‐rainfall (more closed‐canopy) sites. Herb species richness declined with increasing subplot soil moisture in all sites and seasons, suggesting negative impacts of water logging and high moisture.

Synthesis. Diversity of understory herbs is limited by light availability at both local and landscape scales in this region, with the impact of water limitation restricted to the dry season. Our study shows that tree diversity patterns cannot be assumed to hold for other plant lifeforms, and conservation and restoration efforts must consider unique strategies for different lifeforms.

Published: January 2023

AbstractThis study investigated the effects of four brewing methods (cold and hot brew, espresso, and cezve) on the chemical sensory properties of green and roasted coffee beans (cv. Yellow Bourbon) extract. The caffeine and chlorogenic acid contents of the coffee were analyzed using HPLC. The taste and volatile aromatic compounds of coffee were analyzed using an electronic tongue and nose, respectively, and the results were analyzed using principal component analysis. For the taste components analyzed using the electronic tongue, the degree of separation was relatively large depending on the extraction method, and the degree of separation was larger depending on roasting for the volatile compounds analyzed using the electronic nose. Our findings provide basic data for the coffee industry.Practical ApplicationThe use of an electronic sensor will provide flavor characteristics for four different types of coffee extracted from green beans and roasted beans. In this study, it was confirmed that the extraction method had a greater effect on the taste of coffee, and in the case of the volatile aromatic compounds of coffee, there was a large difference depending on the green beans and roasted beans. Therefore, our findings will provide data based on the sensory properties of coffee.
Non‐tariff measures: What's tariffs got to do with it?
Authors: Kuenzel David J. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractAfter successive rounds of tariff reductions by GATT/WTO members, non‐tariff measures (NTMs) have increasingly become the focal point of multilateral trade negotiations. It remains an open question whether the liberalization in tariff rates has subsequently been weakened or even erased by increases in NTMs. Using a product‐level global panel of WTO members over the period 1996–2019, this paper systematically examines the empirical link between various tariff measures and the imposition of NTMs. I find that bound or applied tariff reductions do not correlate much on their own with NTM incidence. The relevant trade policy margin for detecting a tariff–NTM nexus is instead tariff overhangs, the difference between WTO members' bound and applied tariff rates. Countries impose more NTMs when their sectoral applied tariffs are close to their respective bound rates, indicating that small tariff overhangs signal limited legal trade policy flexibility.
Oil and US stock market shocks: Implications for Canadian equities
Authors: Heinlein Reinhold , Mahadeo Scott M. R. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractOil and US stock market shocks are relevant to Canadian equities because Canada is an oil exporter exposed to market developments in the wider continent. We evaluate how the relationship between Canadian stock market indices and such external shocks change under extraordinary events. To do this, we subject statistically identified oil and S&P 500 market shocks to a surprise filter, which detects shocks with the greatest magnitude occurring over a given lookback period, and an outlier filter, which detects extrema shocks that exceed a normal range. Then, we examine how the dependence structure between shocks and Canadian equities change under the extreme surprise and outlier episodes through various co‐moment spillover tests. Our results show co‐moments beyond correlation are important in reflecting the changes occurring in the relationships between external shocks and Canadian equities in extreme events. Additionally, the differences in findings under extreme positive and negative shocks provide evidence for asymmetric spillover effects from the oil and US stock markets to Canadian equities. Moreover, the observed heterogeneity in the relationships between disaggregated Canadian equities and shocks in the crude oil and S&P 500 markets are useful to policy‐makers for revealing sector‐specific vulnerabilities and provide portfolio diversification opportunities for investors to exploit.

AbstractWilliams‐Beuren syndrome (WBS) is a multisystem congenital disorder, whose cardiovascular defects are the leading cause of death. We present the case of a 38‐year‐old man with features of heart failure. The imaging studies showed a typical supravalvular aortic stenosis and a hammock mitral valve, this last, being a rare congenital disease. This is the first case reported of a hammock mitral valve in a patient with this chromosomopathy.
