Russia–Ukraine war and the impact on Indian economy
Authors: Bhattacharjee Anindita , Gaur Dolly , Gupta Kanishka 
Published: September 2023

PurposeIndia is not geographically close to either Russia or Ukraine. However, India's trade relations with them make it vulnerable to the consequences of the war between these countries. Thus, the present study aims to examine the impact of the Russia–Ukraine war on various sectoral indices of the Indian economy.Design/methodology/approachEvent study methodology has been used in this study for analysis. The date of the war announcement is the event day. The sample studied includes ten sectors of the Indian economy listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Results correspond to the period of −167 days to +20 days of the announcement of the war, i.e. from June 25, 2021, to March 28, 2022.FindingsAlmost all the sample sectors earned significantly positive abnormal returns in the post-event period. The metal industry has led this group by showcasing the highest abnormal returns. Though Indian sectors made overall positive returns, the market soon corrected itself and abnormal returns were wiped out.Practical implicationsThese results can benefit portfolio managers, analysts, investors and policymakers in hedging risks and selecting suitable investments during increased global uncertainty. The study's conclusions help policymakers establish an institutional and supervisory framework that will make it easier to spot systematic risks and reduce them by putting countercyclical measures in place.Originality/valueIndia has no geographical proximity or trade relations with Russia or Ukraine, as strong as any other European country. However, Russia has remained a strong ally to India in the trade of defense equipment. Similar is the case with Ukraine, a significant global partner for India. Thus, the impact of conflict between these two countries has not been limited to Europe only but has also engulfed related economies. Hence, the present study is one of the first attempts to examine the burns sustained by the Indian economy due to this war.

Published: September 2023

PurposeThe aim of this study was to determine if there are asymmetries in the pass-through of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices to its derivatives (diesel and gasoline) in the Brazilian market.Design/methodology/approachInitially, the future WTI oil price series was analyzed using the self-exciting threshold autoregressive (SETAR) and logistic smooth transition autoregressive (LSTAR) non-linear models. Subsequently, the threshold autoregressive error-correction model (TAR-ECM) and Markov-switching model were used.FindingsThe findings indicated high prices throughout 2008 due to the subprime crisis. The findings indicated high prices throughout 2008 due to the subprime crisis. The results indicated that there is long-term pass-through of oil prices in both methods, suggesting an equilibrium adjustment in the prices of diesel and gasoline in the analyzed period. Regarding the short term, the variations in contemporary crude oil prices have positive effects on the variations in fuel prices. Lastly, this behavior can partly be explained by the internal price management structure adopted during almost all of the analyzed period.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the literature at some points. The first contribution is the modeling of the oil price series through non-linear models, further enriching the literature on the recent behavior of this time series. The second is the simultaneous use of the TAR-ECM and Markov-switching model to capture possible short- and long-term asymmetries in the pass-through of prices, as few studies have applied these methods to the future price of oil. The third and main contribution is the investigation of whether there are asymmetries in the transfer of oil prices to the price of derivatives in Brazil. So far, no work has investigated this issue, which is very relevant to the country.
Examining the role of family motivation: an empirical examination in the hospitality sector
Authors: Ahmed Umair , Al Riyami Said , Umrani Waheed Ali , Pahi Munwar Hussain , Syed Hassan 
Published: September 2023

PurposeThe authors intended to find out what motivates employees at the workplace. For this purpose, the authors examined family motivation and intrinsic motivation influences over work attitudes such as organizational citizenship behavior (individual) and affective commitment.Design/methodology/approachIn the current research, the authors adopted time-lagged approach to collect a total of 352 responses from managers in the hospitality sector. This approach was adopted to avoid common method issues related to survey research.FindingsThe findings suggest positive association of family motivation with intrinsic motivation, affective commitment and organizational citizenship behavior (individual). The authors also found intrinsic motivation positively related to affective commitment and organizational citizenship behavior (individual). The findings also found statistical support pertaining to the mediating role of intrinsic motivation on family motivation's positive relationship with affective commitment and organizational citizenship behavior (individual).Practical implicationsConsidering important role of family motivation, the authors ask managers to think through ways that could help employees feel better about their family's wellbeing. The authors also suggest organizations upsurge intrinsic motivation of their employees by engaging them in decision-making process, allow employees to craft their jobs because through these a higher level of organizational citizenship behavior for individuals and affective commitment could be generated.Originality/valueThe authors extend the core assumption of self-determination theory that work motivation (intrinsic in specific) is autonomously determined, deeply rooted within individuals, and gratifying. It works on the pleasure principle and mirrors a hedonic standpoint. In such a situation, employees work merely based on their interest and joy; they focus and enjoy the process.
Why some call the “worst” what most consider the “best”?: an analysis of tourist complaints at the wonders of the world
Authors: Mellinas Juan Pedro , Martin-Fuentes Eva , Ferrer-Rosell Berta 
Published: September 2023

PurposeThis research explores why tourists are dissatisfied in places considered “wonders of the world”. The authors ask if the place does not match visitors' expectations or if other factors spoil the experience.Design/methodology/approachThe authors analysed the lowest-rated reviews of these wonders on TripAdvisor. The authors identified the main causes of complaints and the problems tourists faced. The authors grouped the complaints into categories and used CoDa.FindingsThe results indicate that dissatisfaction does not stem from unmet expectations regarding the monument itself, but rather from other factors related to the quality of the tourist service.Practical implicationsThe findings of this research can be implemented in those tourist spots that, despite their global popularity, have considerable proportions of unhappy visitors, not due to the attraction itself, but to shortcomings in its administration.Originality/valueThis study provides a deeper insight into the causes of complaints about some of the most renowned monuments, regarded as extraordinary places, where high satisfaction levels would be anticipated. It also contributes theoretically to the literature on customer complaints in tourist places.
Do high-performance work practices promote an individual's readiness and commitment to change? The moderating role of adaptive leadership
Authors: Naseer Saima , Chughtai Muhammad Salman , Syed Fauzia 
Published: September 2023

PurposeUtilizing the social cognitive theory, this study aims to suggest that organizations that promote high-performance work practices (HPWPs) are instrumental in fostering an individual's affective commitment to change through the explanatory process of an individual's readiness to change. In addition, high adaptive leadership would also strengthen HPWPs and readiness to change relationships.Design/methodology/approachThis study tested the hypotheses using a temporally segregated research design across three time waves (n = 337).Findings This study found support for the direct, mediating, moderating and mod-med hypotheses. The results of this study corroborate that a high adaptive leadership and an organization implementing HPWPs set the stage for creating an individual's affective commitment to change via their readiness to change.Originality/valueThe current study integrates the change management, leadership and HRM literature by suggesting a unique mechanism and boundary conditions that advance research and practice in an individual's willingness and acceptance to change. Based on the study's findings, the authors suggest theoretical and practical implications for research and practice.

Published: September 2023

Purpose
Few studies assess how child abuse and neglect (CAN) affects adolescents’ mental health. Further, the majority of studies conducted to date discount the individual CAN items and report overall prevalence rates for different types of abuse and neglect. The purpose of this study was to examine the levels of and gender differences in CAN subtypes, lifetime prevalence of individual CAN items and the contribution of different CAN subtypes for explaining depression, anxiety and irritability.

Design/methodology/approach
The sample included Jamaican (n = 7,182, 60.8% female) and Ugandan (n = 11,518, 52.4% female) youths. The authors used a population-based cross-sectional study design. Youths completed an anonymous survey in school settings.

Findings
The authors found gender differences in the levels of CAN subtypes. Maltreatment behaviors of lesser severity were more commonly endorsed by the youths than those of greater severity. Neglect and emotional abuse were the strongest correlates of depression (e.g. neglect: ß = 0.23, among Jamaican youths; emotional abuse outside-the-home: ß = 0.23, among Ugandan girls), anxiety (e.g. neglect: ß = 0.17, among Ugandan girls; emotional abuse outside-the-home: ß = 0.27, among Ugandan girls) and irritability (e.g. emotional abuse in-the-home: ß = 0.17, among Jamaican boys; emotional abuse outside-the-home: ß = 0.17, among Ugandan girls) in most samples.

Originality/value
These findings will inform policymakers and professionals working with youths in Jamaica and Uganda, providing comprehensive contemporary insights beyond existing research in these regions.
Digital divide: accessing digital technologies for firms in BOP countries
Authors: Quansah Ewuradjoa Mansa 
Published: September 2023

PurposeDigital technologies (DTs) are key and essential in firms and communities. Countries in low-income areas, such as Bottom of the Pyramid (BOP) contexts, struggle with digital development. To understand how firms in BOP countries access DTs, a qualitative study was conducted to provide insight into how firms in these contexts access DTs and the challenges they face while accessing these technologies.Design/methodology/approachAn in-depth qualitative study was done, which included semi-structured interviews with digital enterprises. In total, 12 chief executive officers (CEOs) and owners of small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) from Ghana and Nigeria were interviewed. NVivo 12 Pro was used for thematic analysis.FindingsFour main findings were identified as follows: (1) how firms in BOP contexts access DTs, (2) the challenges in accessing DTs, (3) factors considered when selecting a technological provider in BOP contexts and (4) solutions and recommendations to the challenges identified. From the results, cost, low technological infrastructure, high transaction costs, regulatory issues, lack of trust, poor digital skills and lack of support were among the barriers to accessing DTs in BOP contexts.Research limitations/implicationsGovernments and stakeholders of firms in BOP contexts need to be intentional with their digitalization development to ensure digital inclusion.Originality/valueThe study developed a synopsis of the factors involved in accessing DTs in BOP contexts and is the first to conceptualize firm digital access in BOP contexts.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-05-2023-0213
The diatom Thalassiosira rotula induces distinct growth responses and colonization patterns of Roseobacteraceae, Flavobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria
Authors: Tran Den Quoc , Milke Felix , Niggemann Jutta , Simon Meinhard 
Published: September 2023

AbstractDiatoms as important phytoplankton components interact with and are colonized by heterotrophic bacteria. This colonization has been studied extensively in the past but a distinction between the bacterial colonization directly on diatom cells or on the aggregated organic material, exopolymeric substances (EPS), was little addressed. Here we show that the diatom Thalassiosira rotula and EPS were differently colonized by strains of Roseobacteraceae and Flavobacteriaceae in two and tree partner treatments and an enriched natural bacterial community as inoculum. In two partner treatments, the algae and EPS were generally less colonized than in the three partner treatments. Two strains benefitted greatly from the presence of another partner as the proportions of their subpopulations colonizing the diatom cell and the EPS were much enhanced relative to their two partner treatments. Highest proportions of bacteria colonizing the diatom and EPS occurred in the treatment inoculated with the enriched natural bacterial community. Dissolved organic carbon, amino acids and carbohydrates produced by T. rotula were differently used by the bacteria in the two and three partner treatments and most efficiently by the enriched natural bacterial community. Our approach is a valid model system to study physico‐chemical bacteria‐diatom interactions with increasing complexity.

Published: September 2023

AbstractBackgroundRight middle lobe (RML) syndrome is a recurrent or chronic obstruction of the RML causing atelectasis of the right middle lobe due to mechanical and nonmechanical etiologies. The consequences of untreated RML syndrome range from chronic cough to post‐obstructive pneumonia and bronchiectasis. We report here our bronchoscopy experience in patients with RML syndrome.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study of adult patients who underwent bronchoscopy for RML syndrome at Rabin Medical Center from 2008 through 2022. Demographic data and medical history, bronchoscopy findings and procedures, and follow‐up results were collected.ResultsA total of 66 patients (57.6% male, mean age 63 ± 13 years) underwent bronchoscopy for RML syndrome during the study period. Bronchoscopy revealed a mechanical etiology in 49 (74.2%) cases, including endobronchial mass (21, 31.8%) and external compression (7, 10.6%). Malignancy was identified in 20 (30.3%) cases. In 62 patients (93.9%), the bronchoscopy resulted in partial or complete reopening of the RML bronchus. The therapeutic bronchoscopic procedures were balloon dilatation (19), laser ablation (17), mechanical debridement (12), endobronchial stent insertion (11), and cryoablation (6).ConclusionsMalignancy was identified as the etiology of RML syndrome in approximately 25% of cases, suggesting bronchoscopy should be performed in every case of RML atelectasis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported series of endobronchial stenting of the RML bronchus in the context of RML syndrome.
Reassessing the clinical significance of electrocardiographically unrecognized myocardial infarctions: Radionuclide infarct size and its impact on long‐term prognosis
Authors: Ammar Khawaja Afzal , Rodeheffer Richard J. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractBackgroundSilent or unrecognized myocardial infarction (UMI) diagnosed by surveillance electrocardiography (ECG) carries similarly poor prognosis as recognized MI (RMI) for poorly understood reasons.MethodsThis study included 5430 consecutive patients who presented to the nuclear laboratory and underwent 2‐day stress and rest Tc‐99m sestamibi and ECG studies between March 1991 and June 1999. UMI was diagnosed if ECG showed Q‐wave MI in the absence of a history of RMI. We measured infarct size (% defect size as compared with the entire left ventricular sestamibi uptake), ejection fraction (EF, %), and summed difference score (SDS, sestamibi uptake by myocardium in stress minus sestamibi uptake in rest images as a marker of ischemia). Survival was determined by follow‐up survey (median 6 years).ResultsWe identified 346 UMIs, 628 RMIs, and 4456 subjects without MI (No MI). As compared with RMI, UMI patients had lesser abnormalities on nuclear scans (p < .0001 for all), including smaller infarct size (5.7% vs. 12.2%), higher EF (58% vs. 53%), and lesser ischemia (SDS; 3.9% vs. 2.7%). UMI prognosis was as poor as that of RMI (annual mortality rate 4.7% vs. 4.8% with No MI rate of 2.9%; p < .001 for all comparisons), and this persisted after multivariate analysis. Infarct size quantification successfully risk‐stratified ECG‐UMI patients, but UMI patients continued to predict mortality even if the infarct size was 0%.ConclusionsAlthough UMI patients have lesser abnormalities on nuclear scans, ECG‐based UMI continues to independently predict mortality, indicating the continuing relevance of ECG in clinical practice.
Associations between socio‐demographic factors and change in mobility due to COVID‐19 restrictions in Ontario, Canada using geographically weighted regression
Authors: Klar Ben , Gilliland Jason A. , Long Jed A. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractTransportation research has shown that socio‐demographic factors impact people's mobility patterns. During the COVID‐19 pandemic, some of these effects have changed in accordance with changing mobility needs adapting to the pandemic, including restrictions on in‐person gatherings, closure of in‐person businesses, and working from home. We investigate two gaps in current knowledge in this area of transportation research: to what extent the associations between socio‐demographic factors and mobility metrics have changed, and how these associations vary across geographic space. We used aggregate deidentified cell tower location data to measure two mobility metrics—movement time and radius of gyration—and socio‐demographic data from the 2016 Canadian Census to model these associations across Ontario, Canada in 2020 using a linear model and a geographically weighted regression model. We find that certain associations between socio‐demographics and mobility have changed from what we previously observed before the pandemic, and we can see the variation of these associations across space. These findings will improve our understanding of how socio‐demographic factors affect mobility patterns in different communities and demonstrate the importance of measuring these associations at a more fine‐grained level using models that consider spatial variation to best reflect the nature of these associations.

Authors: Fil Kristensen Iryna , Shearmur Richard , Doloreux David 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe Global Innovation Clusters’ Initiative (GIC) is an innovation program launched in Canada. This article aims to describe the policy, in particular its key similarities and differences with the Europe's Smart Specialisation (S3) policy initiative, and critically explore the logic behind its inception. The article reveals that although policy implementation practices are bespoke and context‐specific, the need to increase coordination between different levels and sectors of policy making is acknowledged to be important for achieving both innovation and local economic development objectives.

AbstractThis study aimed to determine the upstream regulatory factors affecting ribosome biogenesis regulator 1 homolog (RRS1) expression and the development and prognosis of liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC). The expression profiles of RRS1 were evaluated in pan‐cancer tissues and liver tumor cell lines. The associations of RRS1 with pan‐cancer survival, immune infiltrations, immune checkpoints, and drug sensitivity were identified. We explored the potential upstream regulatory mechanisms of RRS1 expression. Hsa‐miR‐132‐3p knockdown, CCK‐8 assays, transwell, and wound healing assays were performed to validate the regulatory effect of hsa‐miR‐132‐3p on RRS1 expression and the development of LIHC. Our findings demonstrated that RRS1 was significantly elevated in 27 types of cancers. RRS1 predicts a poor outcome of LIHC, lung adenocarcinoma, head and neck cancer, and kidney papillary cell carcinoma. RRS1 expression showed a significant association with immune cell infiltrates and the expression of immune checkpoints‐related genes in LIHC tissues. Increased RRS1 expression may have a negative effect on these anticancer drugs of LIHC. Low methylation of the RRS1 promoter and its genomic gain may elevate RRS1 expression and predict poor prognosis for LIHC. Increased hsa‐miR‐132‐3p expression may elevate RRS1 expression and result in poor prognosis for LIHC. Hsa‐miR‐132‐3p inhibition can decrease RRS1 expression and the development of liver tumor cell lines. Low methylation of the RRS1 promoter, RRS1 genomic gain, and hsa‐miR‐132‐3p upregulation in LIHC may promote RRS1 upregulation and thus lead to the development and poor prognosis for LIHC. RRS1 is a promising therapeutic target for LIHC.
A case report of rib osteosarcoma and literature review
Authors: Hu Xiaofeng , Bao Tianyi , Yan Chao , Zhu Yongliang , Zheng Xiaofei 
Published: September 2023

AbstractAbout half of osteosarcomas occur near the knee joint, but other sites such as the humerus, upper femur, fibula, spine, and ilium can also occur. However, rib osteosarcoma is rarely reported. Here, we report the case of a 17‐year‐old female who was found to have a left dorsal mass on physical examination. Computed tomography (CT) revealed bone destruction in the seventh rib, leading to surgery for mass excision. Pathological results suggested chondroblastic osteosarcoma. After surgery, the patient was treated with chemotherapy and is doing well.
