Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Dental Implant Procedures: Evidence from a Systematic Review
Authors: Hayat Qazi Jawad , Niaz Radaina , Haq Naeem Ul , Khan Ziad 
Published: January 2025

AbstractBackgroundThe use of antibiotic prophylaxis in dental implant surgery is controversial, with conflicting guidelines and variations in clinical practice. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis in preventing implant failure and post-operative infection in healthy patients.MethodsA systematic search of the PubMed database was conducted to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Four RCTs met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Data on implant failure, post-operative infection, and study characteristics were extracted.ResultsThe four included RCTs, published between 2008 and 2022, encompassed 966 participants. The findings regarding the effect of antibiotic prophylaxis on implant failure were mixed. Two studies reported lower failure rates in the antibiotic group, one found similar rates, and one reported a higher failure rate in the antibiotic group. The findings regarding post-operative infections were also inconclusive, with generally low infection rates reported across both groups.ConclusionThe evidence regarding the benefit of antibiotic prophylaxis in preventing implant failure and post-operative infection in healthy patients is mixed and inconclusive. Further well-designed and adequately powered RCTs are needed to clarify the role of antibiotic prophylaxis in this setting. In the meantime, clinicians should carefully consider the individual patient’s risk factors, the potential benefits and harms of antibiotic prophylaxis, and the available evidence when making decisions about antibiotic use in dental implant surgery.
Multibend achromat lattice with four dispersion bumps for sextupole cancellation
Authors: Tan Jiajie , Wei Bingfeng , Yang Penghui , Bai Zhenghe , Wang Lin , He Jianhua 
Published: January 2025

Hybrid multibend achromat (MBA) lattice with a pair of dispersion bumps separated by −I transformation is used in some diffraction-limited storage ring (DLSR) designs, which can obtain relatively large dynamic apertures. However, the −I transformation also largely restricts the horizontal tune of the lattice cell. In this paper, an MBA lattice with four dispersion bumps is proposed, which has relatively good flexibility in adjusting the number of bends in the lattice cell and the lattice cell tunes, while also achieving the effective sextupole cancellation within the lattice arc section. The new lattice can have a larger horizontal cell tune than the hybrid MBA lattice with the same number of bends, which is beneficial for reducing the emittance. In the new lattice, −I transformation is not necessary for the sextupole cancellation between paired bumps, and a general relation of sextupole cancellation is used. Following this lattice concept, a 7BA lattice is preliminarily designed for a 1.5 GeV DLSR. This lattice concept can also be extended to the case of MBA lattice with more bumps.

User-generated content’s influence on tourist destination image: a generational perspective
Authors: Correia Ricardo , Aksionova Evelina , Venciute Dominyka , Sousa João , Fontes Ruta 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This study aims to examine the moderating role of generational identity in the relationship between user-generated content (UGC) and tourist destination image. It seeks to unveil the differential impact of UGC on the cognitive and affective dimensions of tourist destination image across generational cohorts: Generation Z, Millennials and Generation X.

Design/methodology/approach
This study has an experimental design. It used online surveys to gather data from 317 participants recruited through social media channels. Participants were presented with both positive and negative UGC, and their responses were measured using cognitive and affective scales.

Findings
This study reveals that UGC significantly affects both the cognitive and affective dimensions of the destination image. However, the impact on the cognitive aspect is moderated by generational differences, with distinct variations observed across Generation Z, Millennials and Generation X. No significant generational moderation was found for the affective dimension, indicating a universal influence of UGC on emotional perceptions of destinations.

Practical implications
The findings suggest that marketers should tailor their communication strategies to the generational characteristics of their target audience, especially concerning the cognitive aspects of destination marketing. However, for affective appeals, a uniform strategy could be applied across generations, simplifying the approach for emotional marketing content.

Originality/value
This research contributes to the extant literature by highlighting the importance of generational segmentation in the strategic marketing of tourism destinations. It extends the discourse to generational analysis, providing a more granular understanding of the interactions between tourists and UGC.
Transnational corporate power, neo-colonialism and investigative journalism: a conversation with Matt Kennard
Authors: Munro Iain , Boussebaa Mehdi , Rhodes Carl 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This viewpoint aims to contribute to understanding corporate power in two key respects. First, it provides insight into the ways in which transnational corporations continue to operate as vehicles for neo-colonial projects, which are underpinned by exploitation and racial hierarchies. Second, it highlights the significance of investigative journalism in providing a crucial empirical resource for both activists engaged in holding power to account and scholars engaged in critical research into corporate power and civil society activism.

Design/methodology/approach
This viewpoint combines an interview with an investigative journalist and the academic commentary provided by the authors in response to the interview.

Findings
This viewpoint highlights contemporary mutations in the concentration of corporate power, along three broad themes: the growth of transnational institutions critical to enabling and supporting abuses of transnational corporate power and neo-colonialism; the emergence of corporate-run political territories secured by private security organisations; and the corporate attack on progressive politics. It also analyses the important role of investigative journalism in advancing knowledge of transnational corporate power as well as its role in holding such power to account and the urgent need for new forms of independent journalism to support union activism, whistleblowing and other forms of democratic activism.

Research limitations/implications
This viewpoint engages with an alternative tradition of social critique and the critique of corporate power, which has been underrepresented in the field of international business.

Practical implications
This study highlights the significance of investigative journalism in providing a crucial empirical resource for both activists engaged in holding power to account and scholars engaged in critical research into corporate power and civil society activism.

Social implications
These implications entail developing a critique of transnational corporate power and neo-colonialism, enriching democtratic oversight and journalism, and supporting freedom of expression and democratic activism.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, minimal research has explored the critical role of investigative journalism in uncovering and holding transnational corporate power accountable. This paper therefore offers a highly original contribution by addressing this significant yet underexamined area.
Understanding contractors’ circular economy transition intention: a push-pull-mooring framework
Authors: Li Kaiyi , Salleh Hafez , Wang Rui 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThe exponential growth of the construction sector exerts considerable pressure on the environment, and the circular economy (CE) concept has recently gained traction as a means of alleviating such environmental issues. In order to propose solutions to the phenomenon of contractors being hesitant to participate in CE implementation in developing countries, this paper aims to comprehensively explore the enabling factors that motivate contractors to implement CE.Design/methodology/approachThis study is based on the push-pull-mooring (PPM) theory and extends it by introducing information provision (IP) as a trigger on contractors’ intrinsic subjective initiative states on CE implementation. The study considers what and how positive pull, negative push and neutral mooring factors influence the contractors’ CE transition. The framework was validated by questionnaires collected from contractors in China, and the data were analyzed using the structural equation modeling method.FindingsThe findings indicate that all factors from the PPM framework exert a positive influence on CE intention, with push factors demonstrating a greater average impact. Furthermore, this study confirms the influence of the IP on contractors’ CE intentions by influencing their intrinsic status. The impact of the IP is most pronounced in terms of contractors’ perceived usefulness and environmental concerns.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the existing body of knowledge in the CE transition studies by extending the PPM theory into the construction industry through the lenses of contractors in developing countries. The results highlight the trigger impacts of the IP on contractors’ psychological status regarding CE transition. Furthermore, it offers insights into government management in the CE transition by providing the government with novel approaches to facilitate the CE transition in the construction sector.
The importance of ildsjeler: a fieldwork study of inclusive leadership and subjective social mobility in sport
Authors: Svendsen Mari , Næss Hans Erik 
Published: January 2025

PurposeWhile it has been argued that sport organizations are a socially integrative factor in societies, research on sport and social inclusion is short on the role of leadership. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the degree to which inclusive leadership enables social mobility for participants in a social inclusion program through sport.Design/methodology/approachThis study is based on a fieldwork study composed of focused, multi-sited and collaborative ethnography principles. It draws upon data from four sport clubs that are members of the Norwegian Equestrian Federation (NEF) and associated with a social inclusion program for people with a history of substance abuse disorders (SUD).FindingsThrough the enabling of participants’ agency capabilities through prototypicality, shared leadership and cognitive efforts, incentives for utilizing inclusive leadership are presented. The study also presents perspectives on social mobility that are less prone to inflexible categorization and more attuned to people’s sense of belonging and identities.Originality/valueBy coupling unique fieldwork data with theories on subjective social mobility, leadership and meaningfulness, the study presents novel insights into how inclusive leadership play a pivotal role in empowering people with SUD to enhance their social mobility capabilities.
A tale of two paths: the divergent effects of anger and compassion in face-to-face versus computer-mediated dispute negotiations
Authors: Liu Meina 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
The purpose of the study was to assess whether and how communication medium (i.e. face-to-face vs text-based instant messaging) moderates the processes through which two contrastive, discrete emotions (i.e. anger and compassion) influence dispute resolution tactics and relational outcomes.

Design/methodology/approach
A total of 254 participants formed same-sex negotiation dyads to resolve a dispute between roommates either face-to-face (FtF) or through computer-mediated communication (CMC) in two experimental conditions (high vs low responsibility) designed to induce anger and compassion. Multi-group structural equation modeling procedures were used to assess four actor–partner mediation models that predict both intrapersonal and interpersonal effects of anger and compassion on relational outcomes through dispute resolution versus facework tactics.

Findings
Results showed that anger had a significant indirect effect on relational outcomes through competitive (i.e. power-based and face-threatening) tactics in FtF negotiations but not CMC, whereas compassion had a significant indirect effect on relational outcomes through both competitive and cooperative (i.e. power-based, interest-based, face-threatening and face-enhancing) tactics in CMC but not FtF negotiations.

Originality/value
The study extends existing scholarship on emotion in negotiations by demonstrating the moderating effects of communication medium and sheds insights on why communication technology should be considered for resolving emotion-laden disputes.
Economic policy uncertainty and housing prices: evidence from Northern and Southern Europe
Authors: Durmaz Nazif , Bian Shuyi , Gu Yihang 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This study aims to examine the influence of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on residential property prices across 10 distinct nations in Europe, specifically in Northern and Southern regions.

Design/methodology/approach
The autoregressive distributed lag bounded cointegration test is used to carry out the empirical analysis.

Findings
The findings reveal that there is a stable long-term cointegration between house prices and their determining factors, including EPU, in the 10 nations. The outcomes further indicate that EPU has negative long- and short-term effects on house prices, apart from Spain, where uncertainty has a significant positive effect.

Originality/value
The sample period of nearly 40 years applied in this paper includes several business cycles, as well as the concluded global financial crisis, the Brexit process and the COVID-19 pandemic. These three important events potentially increased economic uncertainty across Southern and Northern Europe and the globe, thus making this study even more timely and vital.
The role of intellectual capital in the sustainable value creation of Brazilian listed companies
Authors: Jordão Ricardo Vinícius Dias , Avelar Ewerton Alex , Lúcio Marco Antônio 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This paper aims to analyze the impact of intellectual capital (IC) on Brazilian companies’ sustainable value creation (VC).

Design/methodology/approach
An empirical study was performed using descriptive and multivariate statistics based on the finance, strategy and IC theories. This research is quantitative, explanatory, descriptive, applied and ex post facto and uses traditional economic-financial variables (derived from financial statements – FSs) linked to two established frameworks for IC analysis: the market-to-book ratio (IC-INDEX) and the MVAIC, a variation of the value-added intellectual coefficient (VAIC™).

Findings
The findings showed that the IC estimated through the IC-INDEX and the MVAIC frameworks is directly related to the VC of Brazilian companies throughout the entire period and revealed a consistent effect in all time frames analyzed. Both models were robust and complementary in assessing the company’s VC and sustainability. The conclusion shows that IC is the most relevant factor in explaining VC and its continuity over time, regardless of other traditional variables used to study the phenomenon.

Research limitations/implications
From a theoretical perspective, this study contributes to mastering the understanding of the subject by applying two important IC measurement frameworks to explain sustainable VC over time and examining the problem in the Brazilian market – paving the way for future investigations.

Practical implications
This study provides users of accounting and financial information and other market agents with a better understanding of the VC process and the central role of IC in this process. These findings suggest that these asset investments tend to be more qualified to create corporate wealth for shareholders and other stakeholders. Such a result can help improve decision-making processes, besides generating competitive benchmarking and assisting them in financial analysis and resource allocation in the economy.

Originality/value
The uniqueness of the research arises from applying two important IC measurement frameworks (IC-INDEX and MVAIC) simultaneously to explain sustainable VC over time and the analysis in a relevant and complex emerging market – both issues are unexplored in the literature.
Big 4 auditors, client informational problems, and bank loan contracting: evidence from Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alhadadi Abdullah 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This study has three objectives: (i) to examine whether using a Big 4 auditor reduces loan interest rates; (ii) to analyze how loan interest rates differ between smaller firms, which face more acute asymmetric information problems, and larger firms; and (iii) to investigate whether the negative relationship between Big 4 auditors and loan interest rates is a function of client size.

Design/methodology/approach
The sample comprises all publicly traded nonfinancial companies listed on the Saudi Stock Exchange from 2007 to 2020. Pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) regression tests the hypothesized relationship between the dependent and independent variables.

Findings
The study offers three notable findings. First, borrowers audited by Big 4 auditors receive significantly lower interest rates than those audited by non-Big 4 auditors. Second, banks offer lower interest rates to larger firms (i.e. firms with fewer informational problems) than to smaller ones. Third, no conclusive evidence exists that the beneficial effects of Big 4 auditors (in terms of reduced interest rates) differ significantly between larger and smaller firms. This finding is attributable to the idea that Big 4 auditors do not report more favorably for larger clients or more conservatively for smaller clients. The results remain robust, even after addressing the endogeneity arising from auditor self-selection bias, which is validated by the results of two econometric tests: Heckman’s two-stage procedure and propensity score matching.

Originality/value
To the best of the author’s knowledge, this study is the first to examine the relationship between auditor size and bank loan contracting in Saudi Arabia.

Authors: Rys Maciej , Topor-Madry Roman 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic significantly reshaped the healthcare landscape, revealing both systemic strengths and weaknesses. This article examines a long-term study of the pandemic’s impacts on healthcare systems and integrated care processes, highlighting both negative results – such as increased burnout and persistent systemic flaws – and positive outcomes, such as improved patient care models, enhanced collaboration and increased technological integration.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed elements of the ethnographic approach, combining various qualitative methods with a literature review and data analysis.FindingsThe findings reveal a mixed legacy: while the pandemic accelerated innovation and exposed systemic flaws, it also exacerbated mental health issues among healthcare workers.Research limitations/implicationsThe main limitation is study’s focus on the Polish healthcare system, which may introduce biases and limit the generalizability of findings to other regions with different backgrounds, infrastructures and pandemic responses.Practical implicationsAddressing these issues will be crucial for developing robust healthcare policies and improving overall healthcare delivery and integrated care processes.Social implicationsThe study provides practical implications for policymakers, healthcare providers and the workforce, emphasizing the need for structural resilience, effective resource management and ongoing professional development to sustain and enhance healthcare systems globally.Originality/valueThe study’s originality arises from its methodological approach, combining interviews with healthcare professionals and a narrative review to provide a long-term analysis of both positive and negative outcomes from the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly focusing on the Polish healthcare system while also generalizing insights that could be relevant globally.
The push-pull-mooring model of consumer service switching: a meta-analytical review to guide future research
Authors: Marx Tobias 
Published: January 2025

PurposeFor nearly 2 decades, the push-pull-mooring (PPM) model has been used frequently by scholars to explain consumers’ service switching intention and behavior. However, heterogeneity and incomparability between PPM model studies are prevalent issues: The chosen predictor variables, their categorization, their measurement, reported effect sizes, and effect directions vary considerably. By addressing these issues, the present meta-analytical review enables future researchers applying the PPM model to identify relevant variables and use valid measurements.Design/methodology/approachBased on 148 empirical studies employing the PPM model, the variables used to predict consumers’ service switching intention and behavior, their frequency of use, their categorization into push, pull, and mooring factors, and their measurement are assessed. The effect sizes and directions of the relationships between these variables and consumers’ service switching intention and behavior are analyzed using meta-analytic structural equation modeling. Additionally, the predictive capacity of this model and the influence of moderators are assessed.FindingsAmong the 148 empirical studies, 382 different independent variables were used. The three most frequently used and distinctly categorized independent variables are dissatisfaction (push), alternative attractiveness (pull), and switching costs (mooring). Overall, 152 unique sources were cited to measure these variables and the dependent variables. Dissatisfaction and alternative attractiveness increase switching intention, which positively affects switching behavior, while switching costs decrease switching intention. The model explains 30% of the variance in switching intention and 31% of the variance in switching behavior.Originality/valueThis study provides the first meta-analytical review of the PPM model to guide future research systematically.
