The impact of chief executive officers’ religiosity on banks’ financial performance in Indonesia
Authors: Surya Juanda , Rahajeng Dian Kartika 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the religiosity of the chief executive officer (CEO) on Indonesian banks’ performance.

Design/methodology/approach
The research method used was a review of the annual reports of banking companies in Indonesia from 2015 to 2019 and a web-based search to determine the religiosity of the CEOs. This study comprised 88 banking companies in Indonesia that come under the supervision of the Financial Services Authority.

Findings
The results of this study show that banks led by religious CEOs had better financial performance, as measured by their ROA and ROE, than those led by not very spiritual CEOs. These results indicate the importance of religiosity in organizations, especially at the top management level, for achieving better bank performance.

Practical implications
This research results show that religiosity plays an essential role in the banking business sector. This research adds to the literature on CEOs’ characteristics based on their religiosity and the concomitant effect on banking performance.

Originality/value
This study shows how individual religious beliefs influence the corporate behavior of top management, particularly the CEOs, and why this is crucial for organizational decision-making. This study measures an individual's religiosity (i.e. a CEO) based on that individual's actions in their workplace environment.
Interactive impact of fairness concerns and competition on supply chain coordination
Authors: Wang Lirong , Lan Yingjie , Zhou Deming 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
Fairness concerns in the supply chain management have recently caught much attention in the OM research community. The combined effect of fairness and competition on supply chain coordination and the interplay between them, however, have yet to be thoroughly examined.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors study a multiplayer supply chain with one supplier and two competing retailers with fairness concerns by a three-player Stackelberg game model. This theoretical study provides equilibrium solutions under different ranges of fairness and competition combinations. Besides theoretical analysis, the authors also conduct standard economic experiments and estimate structural parameters using experimental data.

Findings
The authors find that a simple wholesale price can coordinate the whole supply chain with certain conditions of fairness and competition. Moreover, although fairness concerns always decrease the wholesale price and increase retailers' profit share, downstream competition weakens such effects and decreases downstream players' market share. The experiments confirm the existence of fairness concerns and the interaction of competition and fairness, as shown in the theoretical analysis.

Research limitations/implications
A more comprehensive model with both distributional and peer-induced fairness considered could generate better insights in the interactive impact of competition and fairness. Moreover, the authors followed the previous channel competition literature and modeled the demand with linear demand function which makes the game decisions trackable in closed form solution. A more general demand function could result in different solutions and thus new insights.

Originality/value
The authors’ work provides a comprehensive theoretical study of the interaction between fairness concerns and competition and clarifies the in-depth connection between the effects of competition and fairness concerns in the literature.
High-performance work systems and future time perspective mediation through two lenses courage and well-being: testing a serial mediation mechanism
Authors: Mohsin Muhammad 
Published: March 2023

PurposeUpon the premises of social exchange theory (SET), this study aimed at hypothesizing and examining a serial mediation model that investigated the underlying mechanism through which a high-performance work system (HPWS) affects individuals’ future time perspective (FTP).Design/methodology/approachThe hypothesized relationships were examined using responses collected from 275 employees from 15 local private banks and 40 established branches through a proportionate stratified sampling technique. The statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) PROCESS macro 3.0 and analysis of moment’s structure (AMOS) 24.0 were employed for data analysis purposes.FindingsThe study revealed that HPWS is indirectly related to the individuals’ FTP through workplace social courage (WSC) and employee well-being (EWB) sequentially. Prescriptions for theoretical and managerial implications were discussed, and future research viewpoints with limitations were acknowledged.Originality/valueThis study illuminated the underlying mechanism and theoretical logic linking HPWS and individuals’ FTP by proposing the serial mediating effect of WSC and EWB.
COVID-19 and sustainable environment: understanding higher education students' willingness to pay more for food delivery containers
Authors: Sia Joseph Kee-Ming , Hii Ivy S.H. , Ho Jie Min 
Published: March 2023

PurposeThe Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has increased the use of food delivery containers in the food and beverage industry. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), the aim of this paper is twofold: Firstly, it examines the influence of three elements of TPB (attitude, perceived behavioral control and subjective norm) and time pressure on the intention to reuse reusable food delivery containers (ITR). Secondly, it examines ITR as an antecedent to the willingness to pay more for reusable food delivery containers (WTPM).Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 401 higher education institution (HEI) students and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe study found that the three elements of TPB influenced ITR. Furthermore, the results revealed that ITR directly influenced WTPM. Surprisingly, time pressure did not influence ITR.Originality/valueThe research is one of the earliest studies to investigate HEI students' intention to reuse food delivery containers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study contributes to TPB by presenting a novel, integrated model to explain the independent roles of time pressure and ITR on ITR and WTPM, respectively. Finally, it contributes to the existing body of knowledge on pro-environmental behavior among HEI students and advances methodologically by establishing the PLS-SEM approach.

Published: March 2023

PurposeAlthough cloud storage services can bring users valuable convenience, they can be technically complex and intrinsically insecure. Therefore, this research explores the concerns of academic users regarding cloud security and technical issues and how such problems may influence their continuous use in daily life.Design/methodology/approachThis qualitative study used a semi-structured interview approach comprising six main open-ended questions to explore the information security and technical issues for the continuous use of cloud storage services by 20 undergraduate students in Hong Kong.FindingsThe analysis revealed cloud storage service users' major security and technical concerns, particularly synchronization and backup issues, were the most significant technical barrier to the continuing personal use of cloud storage services.Originality/valueExisting literature has focused on how cloud computing services could bring benefits and security and privacy-related risks to organizations rather than security and technical issues of personal use, especially in the Asian academic context.
Board Refreshment: Like a Breath of Fresh Air
Authors: Dah Bilal Al , Dah Mustafa A. , Frye Melissa B. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractUsing a sample of firms listed on the S&P1500 index for the period 2006–2021, we develop a comprehensive board refreshment index to examine why firms refresh as well as to consider the effects of such changes on the monitoring efforts of the board. We measure refreshment as a within‐board measure of the changes in diversity based on gender, nationality, age, interlocks, classification, education level and financial expertise. We find that longer‐tenured boards with older directors are more likely to refresh. Better‐governed firms and more diverse boards are also more likely to seek refreshment. We find a positive relation between board refreshment and CEO turnover‐performance sensitivity, pay‐for‐performance sensitivity and pay‐for‐risk sensitivity. Thus, our findings suggest that board refreshment promotes more effective board monitoring as well as efficient managerial contracting. Analysing board refreshment addresses an important shortcoming in the board diversity literature by directly studying the dynamics of boards.
Facing arrhythmia. Reconstructing time in the pandemic by the metropolitan creative classes in Poland
Authors: Krajewski Marek , Rogowski Łukasz , Frąckowiak Maciej 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis paper shows how the metropolitan creative classes in Poland reacted to the changes in the organization of everyday life caused by the COVID‐19 pandemic, especially its temporality and rhythmicity. The pandemic and lockdowns reorganized previous ways of experiencing and managing time. Based on our empirical research and research by other scholars, we have identified some of the most common disruptions of pandemic temporality. However, a vital element of the article is to specify how the social category we studied dealt with these disruptions. In doing so, we show that the response to the breakdown of the previous order of everyday life was to restore a sense of stability actively. We were also interested in the possible, also negative consequences of the findings for the social category under study. The empirical basis for the article are in‐depth interviews conducted during the fourth phase of the ongoing research project [title anonymized], which began during the first weeks of the lockdown in Poland.

Published: March 2023

AbstractPlasma‐activated liquids (PALs) are emerging and promising alternatives to traditional decontamination technologies and have evolved as a new technology for applications in food, agriculture, and medicine. Contamination caused by foodborne pathogens and their biofilms has posed challenges and concerns to the food industry in terms of safety and quality. The nature of the food and the food processing environment are major factors that contribute to the growth of various microorganisms, followed by the biofilm characteristics that ensure their survival in severe environmental conditions and against traditional chemical disinfectants. PALs show an efficient impact against microorganisms and their biofilms, with various reactive species (short‐ and long‐lived ones), physiochemical properties, and plasma processing factors playing a crucial role in mitigating biofilms. Moreover, there is potential to improve and optimize disinfection strategies using a combination of PALs with other technologies for the inactivation of biofilms. The overarching aim of this study is to build a better understanding of the parameters that govern the liquid chemistry generated in a liquid exposed to plasma and how these translate into biological effects on biofilms. This review provides a current understanding of PALs‐mediated mechanisms of action on biofilms; however, the precise inactivation mechanism is still not clear and is an important part of the research. Implementation of PALs in the food industry could help overcome the disinfection hurdles and can enhance biofilm inactivation efficacy. Future perspectives in this field to expand existing state of the art to seek breakthroughs for scale‐up and implementation of PALs technology in the food industry are also discussed.
CEO facial structure and stock price crash risk
Authors: Zheng Zunxin , Li Donghui , Zhong Tingyong , Wang Tian , He Ling 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis study conducted an empirical analysis of a manually collected sample of chief executive officer (CEO) facial structure measurements (facial width‐to‐height ratio [FWHR]) to examine the relationship between FWHR and stock price crash risk. The samples were collected for the period 2008–2019 from Chinese A‐share listed firms. The results revealed a positive impact of FWHR on stock price crash risk. The positive impact is more pronounced for firms in which CEOs are entrusted with greater powers, firms that appoint a higher number of independent directors, or which function in a more competitive product market. Various robustness and endogeneity tests confirm our main conclusions.
The effectiveness of sanctions on disclosure regulation: Australian evidence
Authors: Chen Xiaomeng Charlene , Choi Ka Wai , Wright Sue , Wu Hai 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe investigate the deterrent effects of securities law enforcement sanctions with different levels of severity. Our setting is Australia's Continuous Disclosure Regulation, which features a range of sanctions from light through to more punitive. We find that after civil and administrative sanctions are imposed on a firm, market liquidity of industry‐peer firms significantly improves relative to non‐industry‐peers. Our results are robust to alternative measures, tests and models. The findings suggest that less costly and lighter sanctions are useful enforcement tools, providing important policy implications for securities regulators on the selection of sanctions to enforce disclosure regulation.
Dealing with low‐probability shocks: The role of selected heuristics in farmers’ risk management decisions
Authors: Duden Christoph , Mußhoff Oliver , Offermann Frank 
Published: March 2023

AbstractDealing with weather extremes is a major challenge for farmers and often comes at high costs for public budgets. Therefore, we investigate the influence of specific simplified decision rules, so‐called heuristics, on farmers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for protecting themselves against low‐probability and high‐consequence weather shocks. To this end, we conducted a framed field experiment with 237 farmers in Germany, using incentivized lottery‐based multiple price lists. We explored the effects of different heuristics within the prospect theory framework. Our results indicate that, on average, farmers exhibit risk‐loving behavior towards monetary losses, leading to a low WTP for risk mitigation. The results also suggest that the imitation heuristic, shock experience heuristics, and the threshold of concern heuristic influence farmers’ WTP. Farmers specifically imitate successful farmers when these are risk‐loving. The lack of personal experience with low‐probability events induces farmers to assign less weight to low‐probability shocks, which lowers their WTP. Farmers also systematically assign less weight to low‐probability shocks that they consider “too rare to be concerned about.” Accounting for the use of these heuristics can help design improved risk management instruments and policies.
Subgroup effects should be examined using both relative and absolute effect measures
Authors: Socha Peter , Harper Sam , Hutcheon Jennifer A. 
Published: March 2023

Treatment effects can be measured on the relative scale (eg, risk ratios, odds ratios) or the absolute scale (eg, risk differences). If the baseline risk of an outcome is different between subgroups, the effect of the treatment will differ between subgroups on at least one scale (relative, absolute, or both). We illustrate this using two examples from the literature where only relative effects were estimated, but conclusions about subgroup differences would likely have changed had absolute effects also been considered. To identify all meaningful subgroup differences, researchers and clinicians should compare effects on the relative and absolute scale.
Re‐childing the COVID‐19 pandemic; and what we lose from the un‐childed public
Authors: Spray Julie 
Published: March 2023

SummaryFor several decades childhood scholars have noted children's systematic exclusion from public in many risk‐averse societies, a disappearance exacerbated during the COVID‐19 pandemic. While many have noted the impoverishing effects for children from such exclusion, during my stay in a New Zealand Managed Isolation and Quarantine (MIQ) facility, I came to ask, what does society lose when we un‐child the public? Through a feature comic, I draw the story of how children infiltrated MIQ's age‐segregated spatial–temporal boundaries to inadvertently or deliberately deliver unique forms of care to others with whom they otherwise had no contact. If MIQ represents a microcosmic refraction of New Zealand's adult‐centric structure, then children's chalk drawings demand a radical rethinking of who and what constitutes public health care and remind us what we gain when we recognize what children do for us.
In Search of Free Spaces to Breathe: Turkey's United June Movement, Social Uprising, and Spatial Maintainability
Authors: Çömlekçi Mehmet Fatih , Güney Serhat 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis study examines the socio‐spatial practices of the United June Movement (UJM), a grassroots movement that drew inspiration from the neighbourhood forums of the Gezi Park protests. We argue that the counter‐sites of politicisation and symbolic places engraved on the social movements’ memory formed the socio‐spatial base of solidarity networks and the long‐term political organising of UJM. Secondly, we suggest that in an authoritarian context, activist organisations nourishing from full‐scale protests such as UJM need to form, reshape, and sustain free spaces where they feel protected. For testing these arguments, we designed fieldwork around UJM with an ethnographic approach. We concluded that the desire for social change has the potential of generating alternative visions in a spatiotemporal context, but in the medium term, it can turn into a feeling of self‐enclosure or being besieged. Even so, such attempts leave a perpetual legacy, tagged to certain spaces and geographies.

Published: March 2023

Summary
Clinical manifestations and laboratory parameters of haemostasis were investigated in 23 children with newly diagnosed immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) before and after intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatment. ITP patients with platelet counts of less than 20 × 109/L and mild bleeding symptoms, graded by a standardized bleeding score (BS), were compared with healthy children with normal platelet counts and children with chemotherapy‐related thrombocytopenia. Markers of platelet activation and platelet apoptosis in the absence and presence of platelet activators were analysed by flow cytometry; thrombin generation in plasma was determined. ITP patients at diagnosis presented with increased proportions of platelets expressing CD62P and CD63 and activated caspases, and with decreased thrombin generation. Thrombin‐induced activation of platelets was reduced in ITP compared with controls, while increased proportions of platelets with activated caspases were observed. Children with a higher BS had lower proportions of CD62P‐expressing platelets compared with those with a lower BS. IVIg treatment increased the number of reticulated platelets, the platelet count to more than 20 × 109/L and improved bleeding in all patients. Decreased thrombin‐induced platelet activation, as well as thrombin generation, were ameliorated. Our results indicate that IVIg treatment helps to counteract diminished platelet function and coagulation in children with newly diagnosed ITP.

AbstractObjectivesWhile it has been established within the first 4 months of life that there is no circadian rhythm, what is unclear is the usefulness of a random serum cortisol (rSC) level in determining neonatal central adrenal insufficiency (CAI). The objective of the study is to determine the utility of using rSC in infants less than 4 months old in the evaluation of CAI.Design and PatientsRetrospective chart review of infants who underwent a low dose cosyntropin stimulation test ≤4 months of life with rSC taken as baseline cortisol before stimulation. Infants were divided into three groups: those diagnosed with CAI, those at risk for CAI (ARF‐CAI) and a non‐CAI group. Mean rSC for each group was compared, and ROC analysis was used to identify rSC cut‐off for the diagnosis of CAI.ResultsTwo hundred and fifty one infants with the mean age of 50.5 ± 38.08 days, and 37% of these were born at term gestation. The mean rSC were lower in the CAI group (1.98 ± 1.88 mcg/dl) as compared to the ARF‐CAI (6.27 ± 5.48 mcg/dl, p = .002) and non‐CAI (4.6 ± 4.02 mcg/dl, p = .007) groups. ROC analysis identified a cut‐off of rSC level of 5.6 mcg/dL is associated with 42.6% sensitivity and 100% specificity for the diagnosis of CAI in term infants.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that though an rSC can be used within the first 4 months of life, its value is best when done ≤30 days of life. Moreover, a diagnostic cut‐off for CAI using rSC levels was identified for term infants.
Coagulation factor dysregulation in polycystic ovary syndrome is an epiphenomenon of obesity

Published: March 2023

AbstractObjectiveObese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) exhibit a hypercoagulable state, with the suggestion that this may be obesity‐driven rather than an intrinsic facet of PCOS; however, this has not yet been definitively determined since body mass index (BMI) is so highly correlated with PCOS. Therefore, only a study design where obesity, insulin resistance and inflammation are matched can answer this question.DesignThis was a cohort study. Patients Weight and aged‐matched nonobese women with PCOS (n = 29) and control women (n = 29) were included. Measurements Plasma coagulation pathway protein levels were measured. Circulating levels of a panel of nine clotting proteins known to differ in obese women with PCOS were determined by Slow Off‐rate Modified Aptamer (SOMA)‐scan plasma protein measurement.ResultsWomen with PCOS showed a higher free androgen index (FAI) and anti‐Müllerian hormone, but measures of insulin resistance, and C reactive protein (as a marker of inflammation), did not differ between the nonobese women with PCOS and the control women. Seven pro‐coagulation proteins (plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1, fibrinogen, fibrinogen gamma chain, fibronectin, d‐dimer, P‐selectin and plasma kallikrein) and two anticoagulant proteins (vitamin K‐dependent protein‐S and heparin cofactor‐II) known to be elevated in obese women with PCOS did not differ from controls in this cohort.ConclusionsThis novel data show that clotting system abnormalities do not contribute to the intrinsic mechanisms underlying PCOS in this nonobese noninsulin resistant population of women with PCOS matched for age and BMI, and without evidence of underlying inflammation, but rather the clotting factor changes are an epiphenomenon coincident with obesity; therefore, increased coagulability is unlikely in these nonobese PCOS women.
