Corporate heritage communication strategies of iconic Italian brands: a multiple case study
Authors: Sacco Federica , Conz Elisa 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThe paper aims to explore how companies communicate their heritage by drawing on heritage marketing and corporate communications literature and mapping the corporate heritage communication strategies of iconic Italian brands.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopts an inductive multiple case study approach, analysing the communication of corporate heritage by nine iconic Italian brands (Pastificio Lucio Garofalo, Barovier & Toso, Pasta Farina, Ducati, Amaro Montenegro, Fiat, Bonomelli, Olivetti and Illy).FindingsIn communicating corporate heritage, companies adopt different strategies that vary along two main dimensions – the subject of the story and the tone of voice of the content. The strategies are: (1) heritage for authenticity; (2) heritage for market leadership; and (3) heritage for continuity.Practical implicationsFrom a theoretical point of view, the study highlights that heritage marketing strategies vary according to underlying strategic themes and narrative approaches. From a managerial point of view, it offers a preliminary guide for the development of corporate heritage communications, also providing indications for their implementation.Originality/valueThis study is amongst the firsts to investigate the strategic antecedents that can shape corporate heritage communication strategies. It represents an integration of the existing literature, which is limited to the descriptive presentation of heritage marketing principles and tools.

Published: January 2023

PurposeThis study aims to outline the influence of various combinations of antecedent conditions for startups being accepted into business incubators in Italy and Romania. The degree to which these conditions affect acceptance is referred to here as the Business Ideas Acceptance Degree (BIAD). The antecedent conditions considered are business idea potential, business plan quality, entrepreneurial team features, business project progress stage, available financial resources, debts of potential incubated companies, commitment to apply for national/EU funds, business area related to incubator mission, proposed technological content level, technological transfer from university/research centres and spin-off of a partner-entity of the incubator.Design/methodology/approachThe methodological toolkit used was mixed: correlation-based analysis (CBA), machine learning (ML) techniques and fsQCA. Principal component analysis enabled the selection of the most representative antecedent conditions from both business incubator samples in Italy and Romania, further used in fsQCA analyses. XGBoost algorithm has been also used. K-Means clustering, an unsupervised learning algorithm that groups unlabeled dataset into different clusters, led to the configuration of two clusters associated to each of the countries involved in this study (Romania and Italy).FindingsThe findings reveal the differences between the different antecedent conditions that can contribute to startups being accepted into business incubators in Italy and Romania. The validation of the fsQCA equifinality principle in both samples shows that the selected antecedent conditions, mixed in combinations of “causal recipes”, lead to a high BIAD by business incubators from both countries.Originality/valueThis study reveals the differences between different antecedent conditions, capable to contribute to the start-up acceptance within business incubators from Italy and Romania. Furthermore, the validation of fsQCA equifinality principle in both samples highlight that the selected antecedent conditions, mixed in combinations of causal recipes, lead to a high degree of business ideas' acceptance in business incubators.

Published: January 2023

PurposeGreen entrepreneurship is a topic of transcendental importance for today's societies. Studies on why entrepreneurs engage in green business have primarily focused on external influences, paying little attention to internal factors such as cognitive mechanisms. This study aims to fill this gap by focusing on the characteristics of the perceived (psychological) time of entrepreneurs who choose green businesses.Design/methodology/approachUsing a sequential exploratory mixed methods design, this study conducts a series of 20 in-depth interviews with green entrepreneurs in Russia, an emerging economy, and then formulates the hypotheses. The hypotheses are tested in the quantitative phase by surveying 389 green and non-green entrepreneurs.FindingsThe data obtained in the survey phase support several hypotheses. Specifically, green entrepreneurs think more critically about their past than their non-green colleagues. Similarly, green entrepreneurs have a longer time perspective and are more focused on possible future events. Finally, green entrepreneurs are farsighted and perceive the future more negatively than non-green entrepreneurs.Research limitations/implicationsThe data obtained in the survey phase support several hypotheses. Compared with non-green entrepreneurs, green entrepreneurs think more critically about their past, have a longer time perspective and are more focused on possible future events. In addition, green entrepreneurs are farsighted and perceive the future more negatively than their non-green counterparts.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the least examined area in the relevant literature by identifying internal factors that explain green entrepreneurship. Furthermore, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, it is one of the first to provide an in-depth understanding of the characteristics of the perceived (psychological) time of green entrepreneurs.
Categorizing you and me: toward a typology of prejudice and justice in the organization
Authors: Chou Shih Yung , Barron Katelin , Ramser Charles 
Published: January 2023

PurposeDue to the dominant use of the singular view of the self-categorization process in the literature, this article seeks to develop a typology, from a dyadic categorization perspective, that describes different types of prejudice and justice in the organization based on one's self-categorization and others' categorization of one's self.Design/methodology/approachThe authors develop a typology by drawing upon social identity, self-categorization and self-consistency theories.FindingsThe authors propose the following findings. First, the more an individual self-categorizes as an in-group member regardless of how others categorize the individual, the more likely the individual experiences a particular form of justice. Second, the more an individual self-categorizes as an out-group member regardless of how others categorize the individual, the more likely the individual experiences a particular form of prejudice. Finally, based on the dyadic categorization approach, the authors propose four distinct types of prejudice and justice: communal prejudice, self-induced prejudice, fantasized justice and actualized justice.Originality/valueThe authors advance the literature by providing a dyadic categorization view that helps describe employees' experience of prejudice or justice in the organization. Additionally, this article offers some managerial recommendations that help managers actualize true justice in the organization.
The paranoid style in the sociology of financial reporting principles
Authors: Rutherford Brian A. 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to analyse the character and strength of the claims made in an emerging literature offering a sociology of financial reporting principles.

Design/methodology/approach
The analysis evaluates exemplary works in the literature against the characteristics of the paranoid style first identified by Richard Hofstadter: overheated claims of a far-reaching, malign and collusive machinery of influence; a reductive, rationalistic and dualistic reading of events; weak empirics; and weak theorisation.

Findings
A significant stream within the literature is coming to be constructed in the paranoid style. Paranoid stylistics, used as a diagnostic tool, alerts us here to distorted judgement.

Research limitations/implications
Alternative ways of avoiding the dangers of paranoid-style readings are suggested, ranging from resisting the temptations towards such readings to a radical re-working of the epistemics of “socio-accounting”.

Practical implications
The danger of allowing the conclusions advanced in the literature to go unchallenged is that they may influence society’s attitude to accounting, public policy-making and scholars’ willingness to contribute to the crafting of reporting principles and standards.

Originality/value
Although paranoid style analysis has been widely used to examine narratives in other academic fields, to the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study to apply it to scholarly accounting.
Atractylenolide III suppresses senescence‐associated secretome via inhibiting cGAS/NF‐κB pathway in hepatic stellate cells

Published: January 2023

AbstractSenescence of activated hepatic stellate cells (aHSCs) is a stable growth arrest that is implicated in liver fibrosis regression. Senescent cells often accompanied by a multi‐faceted senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Induction of aHSCs senescence by inhibiting SASP may be a potential therapeutic model against hepatic fibrosis. To evaluate the role of atractylenolide III (ATR III) in the development of chemotherapeutic drug‐induced SASPs in hepatic stellate cells. Etoposide‐induced senescent HSC‐LX2 model was established and treated with ATR III at different concentrations (20, 30 and 40 μM). We found that ATR III dose‐dependently enhanced senescence in etoposide‐induced LX2 cells. ATR III dose‐dependently decreased the release and expression of SASP factors (interleukin [IL]‐1α, IL‐1β, IL6 and IL‐8) in senescent cells. ATR III regulated cyclic GMP‐AMP synthase (cGAS)/nuclear factor κ (NF‐κB) signalling to affect SASP expression in senescent cells. The addition of 2'3′ cGAMP counteracted the effect of ATR III. The release of SASP factors in the conditioned medium from senescent cells could affect cell migration, proliferation and contraction through paracrine manner. Our results indicated ATR III could still enter senescence and prevent the production of SASP and its paracrine effects in senescent cells, an effect that may be related to the possible inhibition of cGAS/NF‐κB signalling by ATR III. Our study proves that ATR III may be an effective potential drug against liver fibrosis by promoting aHSC senescence, which can provide a new choice for the future clinical treatment of liver fibrosis.

Published: January 2023

AbstractComputed tomography (CT) is used in veterinary medicine for the diagnosis of bones and soft tissue diseases in various species. In addition, CT has recently been used to diagnose aquatic animals, including Selachimorpha, which are difficult to diagnose out of water. However, because Selachimorpha do not have adipose tissue in the coelomic cavity, the coelomic organs cannot be fully identified using non‐contrast CT (NCCT). The aim of this study is to present the anatomical features of the cadaver, NCCT, and contrast‐enhanced CT (CECT) as well as the change in CT values of the coelomic organs and musculature of the brownbanded bamboo shark. NCCT scans were performed under anaesthesia in one male and one female shark. CECT was performed 30 min after iopamidol was administered intravenously. The sharks were euthanized, frozen at −20°C, and sliced in the same position in which they were scanned. Using electric band saw, 10‐mm transversal sections were obtained. The anatomical structures of both males and females were identified by transversal sections, and CT images homologous to transversal sections were then selected. Sagittal and coronal CECT images were also obtained to facilitate understanding of the location and size of coelomic organs. Although bone structure and air in organs could be sufficiently discriminated on NCCT image, the coelomic organs were almost indistinguishable. On the other hand, CECT images obtained sufficient contrast to identify most coelomic organs in addition to bone and air. The results provide an atlas of a cross‐sectional anatomy and CECT images, which is useful information for the medical diagnosis of coelomic organs in live Selachimorpha.
Volatility Spillovers Among the Three Places Across the Taiwan Strait: Evidence from a BEKK‐CARR Approach*
Authors: Wu Chun Chou , Xu Wen 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis study introduces a new BEKK‐CARR model to explore the volatility spillover effects among mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan stock markets during the COVID‐19 pandemic. We also extend the approach of Diebold and Yilmaz (2009, 2012) to infer a brand‐new volatility spillover index to discuss the bi‐directional volatility transmission. Our results show that the trading information flow among these three markets has changed significantly as a result of the COVID‐19 pandemic. The strength of volatility spillover is increasing during this momentous period. The Hong Kong stock market plays a pivotal role in volatility transmission. The values for half‐lives by exogenous shocks keep relatively low during the pandemic period. A reasonable explanation is that the trading information transmissions among stock markets are quicker than in the non‐pandemic period.

SummaryBackground and AimsIn cirrhotic nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) clinical trials, primary efficacy endpoints have been hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG), liver histology and clinical liver outcomes. Important histologic features, such as septa thickness, nodules features and fibrosis area have not been included in the histologic assessment and may have important clinical relevance. We assessed these features with a machine learning (ML) model.MethodsNASH patients with compensated cirrhosis and HVPG ≥6 mm Hg (n = 143) from the Belapectin phase 2b trial were studied. Liver biopsies, HVPG measurements and upper endoscopies were performed at baseline and at end of treatment (EOT). A second harmonic generation/two‐photon excitation fluorescence provided an automated quantitative assessment of septa, nodules and fibrosis (SNOF). We created ML scores and tested their association with HVPG, clinically significant HVPG (≥10 mm Hg) and the presence of varices (SNOF‐V).ResultsWe derived 448 histologic variables (243 related to septa, 21 related to nodules and 184 related to fibrosis). The SNOF score (≥11.78) reliably distinguished CSPH at baseline and in the validation cohort (baseline + EOT) [AUC = 0.85 and 0.74, respectively]. The SNOF‐V score (≥0.57) distinguished the presence of varices at baseline and in the same validation cohort [AUC = 0.86 and 0.73, respectively]. Finally, the SNOF‐C score differentiated those who had >20% change in HVPG against those who did not, with an AUROC of 0.89.ConclusionThe ML algorithm accurately predicted HVPG, CSPH, the development of varices and HVPG changes in patients with NASH cirrhosis. The use of ML histology model in NASH cirrhosis trials may improve the assessment of key outcome changes.
Ethical leadership in a complex environment: A case study on Nunavik health organizations
Authors: Morin Geneviève , Talbot David 
Published: January 2023

AbstractDespite being the primary homeland of Quebec's Inuit people, Nunavik's health care is typically planned and provided by non‐Inuit newcomers. This retrospective case study investigates the effects of ethical leadership on the Westernized local Nunavik health care system's cultural sensitivity to its disproportionately Inuit populations. An integrative framework is developed that considers the dimensions of ethical leadership and the omnibus and discrete dimensions of context. This study shows that some Nunavik health care managers seek to improve and adapt the system to the needs of their Inuit populations, while others do not. Unfortunately, the context restricts the former managers' ability to act consistently with their moral responsibilities and beliefs. Specifically, the findings show various institutional barriers to providing respectful and sensitive health care to Inuit. This study contributes to the scientific literature on ethical leadership by proposing an integrative conceptual framework. This framework illustrates how ethical leadership is inseparable from organizational context, identifying 16 contextual factors influencing managers' ethical behavior. Finally, three practical recommendations are proposed to highlight the omnibus and discrete context elements.

ObjectivesTo evaluate different scenarios for the management of early diagnosis of cancer (PCa) in men at high genetic risk, using recently developed blood and urinary molecular biomarkers in combination with clinical information alongside multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI).Patients and MethodsA total of 322 patients with a high genetic risk (familial or personal history of cancers or a predisposing germline variant) were included in this study. The primary outcome was the detection rates of PCa (positive biopsy) or clinically significant PCa (biopsy with International Society of Urological Pathology [ISUP] grade >1). Clinical parameters included age, body mass index, ancestry, and germline mutational status, mpMRI, prostate‐specific antigen density (PSAD), Prostate Health Index and urinary markers (Prostate Cancer Associated 3, SelectMdx™ and T2:ERG score) were assessed. Sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) for each marker at their recommended cut‐off for clinical practice were calculated. Comparison between diagnoses accuracy of each procedure and scenario was computed using mutual information based and direct effect contribution using a supervised Bayesian network approach.ResultsA mpMRI Prostate Imaging‐Reporting and Data System (PI‐RADS) score ≥3 showed higher Se than mpMRI PI‐RADS score ≥4 for detection of PCa (82% vs 61%) and for the detection of ISUP grade >1 lesions (96% vs 80%). mpMRI PI‐RADS score ≥3 performed better than a PSA level of ≥3 ng/mL (Se 96%, Sp 53% vs Se 91%, Sp 8%) for detection of clinically significant PCa. In case of negative mpMRI results, the supervised Bayesian network approach showed that urinary markers (with the same accuracy for all) and PSAD of ≥0.10 ng/mL/mL were the most useful indicators of decision to biopsy.ConclusionsWe found that screening men at high genetic risk of PCa must be based on mpMRI without pre‐screening based on a PSA level of >3 ng/mL, to avoid missing too many ISUP grade >1 tumours and to significantly reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies. However, urinary markers or a PSAD of ≥0.10 ng/mL/mL when mpMRI was negative increased the detection of ISUP grade >1 cancers. We suggest that a baseline mpMRI be discussed for men at high genetic risk from the age of 40 years.

AbstractAimTemporal lobe epilepsy is a neurological network disease in which genetics played a greater role than previously appreciated. This study aimed to explore shared functional network abnormalities in patients with sporadic temporal lobe epilepsy and their unaffected siblings.MethodsFifty‐eight patients with sporadic temporal lobe epilepsy, 13 unaffected siblings, and 30 healthy controls participated in this cross‐sectional study. We examined the task‐based whole‐brain functional network topology and the effective functional connectivity between networks identified by group‐independent component analysis.ResultsWe observed increased global efficiency, decreased clustering coefficiency, and decreased small‐worldness in patients and siblings (p < 0.05, false discovery rate‐corrected). The effective network connectivity from the ventral attention network to the limbic system was impaired (p < 0.001, false discovery rate‐corrected). These features had higher prevalence in unaffected siblings than in normal population and was not correlated with disease burden. In addition, topological abnormalities had a high intraclass correlation between patients and their siblings.ConclusionPatients with temporal lobe epilepsy and their unaffected siblings showed shared topological functional disturbance and the effective functional network connectivity impairment. These abnormalities may contribute to the pathogenesis that promotes the susceptibility of seizures and language decline in temporal lobe epilepsy.

AbstractIntroductionPolycythemia vera (PV) is known to be a subgroup of chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms and is recognized as a cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Pulmonary artery stiffness (PAS) is a relatively new noninvasive echocardiographic index developed to evaluate the structural features and functions of the pulmonary vascular bed. In this study, we aimed to evaluate right ventricular (RV) functions and PAS in PV patients and healthy controls.MethodsA group of 65 consecutive PV patients and 40 healthy controls were included in the study. RV global longitudinal strain (RVGLS) and RV free wall longitudinal strain were (RVFwLS) evaluated using two‐dimensional (2D) strain echocardiography. RV volume, systolic and diastolic functions were evaluated with three‐dimensional (3D) echocardiography. PAS was calculated using the maximum frequency shift (MFS) and acceleration time of the pulmonary artery flow trace.ResultsPAS values were significantly higher in the PV group than in the control group (25.2 ± 5.2 vs. 18.2 ± 4.2, p < .001). We found that tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) (p < .001), RV fractional area change (p < .001) and RV ejection fraction (p < .001) measurements evaluated by 3D echocardiography were significantly lower in the PV group.ConclusionIn our study, PAS values were higher in PV patients than in the healthy control group. Patients with PV may have subclinical RV dysfunction, and PAS value can be used in the early diagnosis of PH and RV dysfunction in this patient group.
